Artist's Comments

This is for the DA Seventh B-day contest, specifically the Traditional Art section: [link] . It's 'Sloth'. :boing:

...Do you know how HARD the concept of "sloth" is to get across in makeup? Sloth is laziness, apathy, entropy. Technically, I should have just taken a picture of my makeup kit and gone "I was too lazy to do a project. So there." ...But I don't think that'd fly. So we hop on the back of my good friend, symbolism!

I decided:

:bulletred: Sloth is a bit of a grey and yellow girl- colors that don't suggest anything but wishy washy, one way or the other. Even blacks and whites have a tendency to be polarized, stand on themselves and their opinions. Greys and yellows don't give a flying f.

:bulletblue: Sloth's lips have gone into a bit of disrepair. She uses them to voice an opinion so seldom. You'd almost forget they were there.

:bulletred: Sloth's eyes are glazed over. Things right beneath her sight are dark, boring.

:bulletblue: Anything Sloth might do to improve herself, the world around her, or her visage- they're right there, hidden from her sight. She just doesn't care enough to put them into action- so there they stay. Flat. Slipping down her form until one day they'll be at a puddle around her feet.

Time: 1/2 of 'Throw Momma From the Train'
Medium: Makeup.

Not important Notes:

* My hair did NOT want to stay teased.
* I cleaned my neck off with a sponge. XD
* For some reason, while I was cleaning makeup off my right eye, it started to SCREAM in stinging pain. I swear, somewhere at that moment, Satan looked up and thought "I love it. I must add it to my repetoire..."
* Traditional Art Category got the hard sin. No fair.
* The comments written on my neck are all notes from my idea journal for makeup projects. I just went through and copied a whole bunch.

This is the best shot I think :}

The eyes are very well done, I had to stare at it for a few seconds to realize they were your eyelids xD;

XD Thanks! It was either white over the lids... or pluck out my pupils. :giggle: Not at the top of my to-do list...

This one is the creepiest of all of them, in my opinion. I would use this one.

I thought this one was going to be the clear-cut favorite. I think it was my first choice to send- but I think we're in the minority. XD

Our opinions will just have to rock quietly in the corner. ...Donut? :donut: XD
