It reminds me of a mixture between punk and gotchic art, mainly due to the pattern. I really like the contrast of colours and the eyes, they are hauntingly black O.o . Overall, It looks deadly and yet it draws the audience into staring at the picture for a while. The more you look at it, the more you notice. The first are the eyes, and eventually the mouth, followed by the hands which not all fingers are covered (rather unsual, but it works well). Its good that the arms and the torso are blurred, otherwise there would be too much detail to look at. The way it is now, the hands and the face really come out. (good background as well)

Errie & very visually striking, the colours have a brillaint contrast & deep impact.
The markings have a creepy tribal feel about them, the precesion of the make up is emculate. The whole image emits a sense of a very dark aura. The depth of field & clarity of the picture it self are excellent, very sharp.
The over all feel is very unsettleling & has an errie distubing tone tone. its like he has come through another expanse or realm.
The black eyes are reminiscent of japanese horror films, but this only contiues to add to the otherworldly feel & impact of the image.

I found this particular piece very interesting but very unique and elaborate. I commend you on you excellent attention to detail and great use of space with the make up.
The make up is what especially caught my eye, including the different nail polish on your nails. The use of silver and black together makes for great contrast. You can see every shape, and with lighter shapes on top of the black, it really makes those areas stand out and you have to really look to take in all the detail.
Your attention to detail and original shapes is what also makes this a great piece. The shapes all fit very well together, almost as if it were a puzzle. And I especially like how each one contours to that part of the face nicely.
Of course, one thing I have to say I really love are your piercings. I doubt you got them done just for this one shot, but still, it complimented this style of make up wonderfully. I have a few facial piercings myself, used to have more, so I'm always interested in seeing other with some of the cool things they do with theirs.
The only thing that I would suggest needs a little work is some of the lines and edges of the make up job need to be cleaned up a bit more. Some black areas might stand out a bit more if there was just a line or splash of silver or white against it, but otherwise this was an absolutely amazing piece that blew my mind!
The whole picture really comes together and there is no area or spot that isn't eye catching or mysterious. The all black demonic looking eyes ensnare the viewer and then the rest of the picture unfolds into a fantastically gothic(if that's what you were going for) and dark piece. Amazing work!

I like it. The face paint and white hair gives them an inhuman look, and the black eyes feel curious but almost sad. The metal of the piercings and fingers, as well as the detailing on the jacket creates a sharp overall tone, so nothing is soft or smooth. They look like an alien, looking in at human customs with a babyish but sad curiosity. I feel like it doesn't understand something. Somehow, despite the feeling of being a completely different species, it's still relatable. The individual craftsmanship of each area is very well done too; the face paint is sharp and has obvious effort put into it. It's brutally good.

I love the design of the eyes. but! some of the stuff is over done. you do stuff that looks a lot like this A LOT. maybe you could put stuff on your neck? that would make a lot of the vision much better than it already is. The finger.... things are very cool, but a lot of people use stuff like that in there make up when they are going for a theme like that. Why don't you try something else??? The white hair goes VERY well with the rest of the outfit, very... mesmerizing. I like the way you thought of this piece, it's very nice. you should try something steam.. punk??? that would be cool. I bid you goodbye in this terrible critic. this 130 word critic.

This piece gets 5 stars in every category. For me that is rare. I don't like this piece, it scares the s**t out of me...it's unsettling, like some dark nightmare that shows up on your doorstep at 3:30 AM. That being said...true art is not cute, or pretty or some my little pony "bs". Real art moves you...makes you think...or brings out emotion. this piece achieves this. I'm by no means an expert...technically, I really don't have an opinion one way or another...I really wouldn't know whether or not it would be a stunning photo had you left something out or not. What I do know is this...it's right...whatever you did here just came out perfectly. Exceptional.

The starkness of the black background highlighting the paleness of the skin and hair is visually riveting. There is so much detail that it's astounding from the facial markings and chinese characters to the sweeping tribal tattoos on the arms. Your meticulous focus on each part of the whole makes this impactful; for me the solid black eyes seem to be almost hollow, taking on the nature of the background to tie it all together.
The time it took to achieve this level of artistry is astounding and paid off well. This draws your eye, and the detail keeps you there, looking for more. Each time I look at this, I see something I hadn't noticed before.
Well done!

This is definitely an interesting image. I particularly like the way the eyes are solid black and yet it looks like they're staring right at you. Leaving the index finger uncovered is also an interesting choice--sort of like giving the world a subtle finger. The white hair and hairstyle go well with the overall image. And the face paining is very interesting as well. The asymmetrical (and sharply angled) aspects of it add to the chaotic and rebellious flavor that surrounds the rest of the image. Over all, I think it works very well and creates a visceral response from the viewer.

I like the bits of writing done, I thought that was a very lovely touch to the look,

And by the way, you got some nice piercings man, I'm a little jealous , But I love it!
Your lucky to have a talent like this ^-^

The make-up around the eyes-ESPECIALLY THE EYES-look stunning. The make-up around the mouth also gives off a 'creepy' sense especially with the piercings! Not in a bad way of course, it still looks amazing and gives off an amazing effect.
I am also very impressed with the claws you have and how you arranged them. The pose has a great impact and just draws me in ^^
I love the hair and the clothing, and how they just simply match with colour and theme. The writing on the face looks amazing!
Overall, well done. I truly think this is an amazing job!

First off, I just want to say that you did a really good job with this! Overall it looks amazing. I love visual kei and this is easily one of my favorites, I just adore it^^
Visually, the make-up is so well done, it really stands out and grabs your attention right away. Your hair is pretty much perfect, and I personally think that the contacts totally pull it all together. All of the little details really add to the visual impact as well, such as the tattoos on your arms, the unique nail art, and your choice of clothes.
You get 5 stars for originality because even though I personally see a lot of this style of art, this one in particular is different and interesting (like I said, easily one of my favorites). The technique is pretty much perfect too. It takes a long time to do make-up, especially to do this much and have it come out so well. I think you would be great at doing make-up for cosplay. (I would love it if you could do mine, haha, I'm totally jealous!)
I'm not sure if this counts for anything, but it also kind of reminds me of Allen Walker from D Gray Man... Which just makes it that much better for me ^^

I have to say that I really do LOVE this!
the eye liner and the designs on the face just really fit, not to mention the poison rings and such.
It is shiny, black and white and definitely stands out.
the black eyes are a little strange but, i love the white hair and the rings.
I like how the black around the top lip really defines the mouth!
Its all sharp and creative. It really strikes me!
The position itself is mysterious and crafty!
Oh, and i especially love the markings on the arms! Absolutely amazing! To this, I give a two thumbs up.

Great job with the whole thing it looks simply amazing. I used to do some interesting makeup but nothing this intricate and stunning. I like how clean and sharp it is on top of not being rigid or rough but smooth and uniform.I bet this took hours, a steady hand and some serious patience all in all bravo. I would love to see you do some great cosplay makeup, I bet you could make it look super amazing like this. Keep up the great work and perhaps give some of us not so great makeup artists some help and pointers. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="43" height="97" alt="

The detail around the eyes is really great, REALLY GREAT! I have have dome some makeup work in the past, and I have to say that what you created works as a whole. Great!
If anyone looking at this doesn't click to enlarge it, they are really missing out. CLICK IT! It's really well photographed too. The work here is so well done, I'm glad the pic was well executed too, so I can see it all.
You've got some other images in your gallery like this, but something about the monochromatic color scheme in this one works so good...
I can't wait to see what you do next...

This is beautiful! I love the design, it's very creative and of course the black and white contrast very nicely, especially with the silver shiny claws on your hand and the white (bleached?) hair. The whole theme of black and white plus the intricate design makes for a picture that not only takes time to look at, but time that I personally would enjoy spending analyzing this picture. I may not be a critique professional but even I can tell that this is incredibly well done. Every single tiny triangle, circle, line or detail must have taken some time, I can't imagine myself doing something like this! Once again, very, very well done.

Well, I have to say this is a rather interesting thing, I've never really seen this kind of artwork done on a person before and I have to say it looks cool
I find the markings on your face to be very unique and interesting. The makeup is pretty awesome, and I can tell you put a lot of effort into doing this.
The letters on the (from you Point of view) left side of your face to be rather awesome, I like them although I have no idea what they mean XD.
You're eyes as well add a bit of a horror aspect to this but other then that I like it.
The piercings are an awesome addition as well, while painful looking add some awesome to this.
Your hair and pose reminds me of an anime character actually, which is pretty cool as not very many people can pull that off. Good show!
The things on your fingers (I can't remember for the life of me what they're called)are another awesome addition to your work, as they look somewhat like dragon claws. And I like what you did with your fingernails as well. They look metallic and somewhat sharp, an awesome feature.
Your shirt and your arm tattoos are very awesome, your shirt looks awesome and I like the tribal tattoos.
So, my all around rating of this.
9.8/10
