Quentin Shoot

These are the final images for my Quentin shoot. I wanted Quentin's look to be very simple, letting his scars take the main focus. My model for Quentin was female, I chose to use the same model for both Claudia and Quentin as because he is imaginary, ultimately Quentin is a reflection of Claudia herself. I started by applying a base, and contouring the face to make it appear more square jawed and masculine. I filled in my models brows with a colour darker than her hair as after examining pictures of men, I noticed that it is very common for their brows to be darker than their hair. I also changed the shape of my models brows so they were straighter and fuller. I used a purpley supra colour to create dark shadows under the eyes as Quentin would most likely be tired from all the abuse from Claudia. As Claudia uses Quentin to feed on, I wanted to display this through the Vampire bites on his neck. I created two dots on Quentins neck, using a dark shade to make them appear deep, and from there I dripped fake blood so it ran down his neck. The most time consuming part of the look was creating Quentin's many pieces of scarification, created by Claudia. I applied these after the main base, but also covered them with a layer of foundation to mute down the colour to a natural looking scar shade. My idea for human Quentin was that he is quite a quiet, artsy type, so I chose to brush my models hair back into a scraggly ponytail, and had her wearing a white collarless shirt.

I was pleased with how this look went, although there are some things I would change. The colour I used for the scars was slightly darker than in my practices, and I think a slightly paler colour could of helped achieve a more natural effect. I made the decision to leave Quentin without any facial hair, as I didn't want this to interfere with his scars or limit the space I had to create them, but I feel that adding a moustache would of helped create a more masculine look for him.
