Today’s look is a bit extra. Leave it to me to decide that doing a complex facepaint on very little sleep would be a good idea… HA! So when I say that this look is … extra… I mean, it took me over three hours to create. Mind you, I did have a little late-night dinner break in the middle, but still.
This creation is something that has been cooking in my brain for a good long while. The look was supposed to debut last year during 13DoH2019, but alas, I ran out of spoons. It takes elements of a long-forgotten joker paint that I created as part of a collab back in 2015 and refreshed it a bit. I incorporated four different “inspirations” from my favorite jokers: Ledger, Hamill, Phoenix, and Romero.
To complete the look, I gave colored hair paste a go. The specific one I used was Good Dye Young’s Poser Paste in Kowabunga (a green). It was a bit of a learning curve, and it did flake off any time I touched my hair or let it down… but it did give a nice effect. Also, I should note that if you have dry hair – it’s probably best not to use this product as the amount of clay in this pomade-paste is reasonably high and will slurp up any moisture you have in your hair.
The final touches were to distress my vest and shirt. You all know how much I love texture, therefore distressing fabrics are right up my alley. I made a little walk-through on how I distressed/weathered my clothes over on my Patreon page, if’fins you’d like to take a gander at it.
