Halloween!

To me, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  Mostly because there are a ton of bones and such everywhere.  Everywhere.  It's awesome.  I had a lot of fun this year, decorating the office a little bit, possibly pranking a coworker, etc.

I also tried out some new makeup.

I was a tad social this year too, and went to a Halloween party.  It was a ton of fun.  I went as a grim reaper type, the whole skeletal paint on the face and neck.

I'm not going to go step by step, as it's pretty obvious how to paint a skull.  I did learn a lot by doing it once and would change what type of makeup I used, and how I applied certain things.
I wanted to add some bones on my chest where they would go into shirt as well.  I needed some better black make up and some powder to set it though.  Oh well.  It worked, and it was fun.
I decided not to do quite as many teeth as at first, and put those two small muscles in for some contrast.  Added a bit more definition to the shape of the bones, and a bit of shading.  Not much though.  That's something that I would change next time too, if I chose to use this idea again.
Yay grim reaper!  All black, a scythe that I never actually used, and a bit of red for contrast.

I got the cloak at an Anime convention years and years ago.  Best $10 I even spent - I use the thing for everything, I swear.








A friend did a medically themed red velvet cake.  I did some jello in a brain shape.  :D
For Halloween in the office, I toned it down a little bit.  Some orange and black with some dark makeup around the eyes for the most part.
Grr... witchy.  Sorta.  Not really.



 Very witchy!  Cute witchyness.
And... one of our coworkers hate spiders.  And he is always 'getting' others.  So... someone(s)... took the opportunity of the season and moved some spiders into his office.


Yeah, he had a great reaction.
