Bit biased as she is my missus but I like it and think it suits.

That's actually quite creepy, but in a good way :>

She says: "Thanks"

And personally I'm with you.

How long do the lips stay that white for? I can see the effect of the mouth which is the creepyfyingly cool bit ... if it were lost would make the job 'less' cool.

(still cool though!)

As long as I want them too!
It all really depends on if you fix the paints, how much you sweat (although grease paints fixed well would endure this) and how messy you are when you eat!

Thats me btw XD

Tilda Swinton as the ice queen with Aslan's mane look combined with a foam prosthetic ala Dr Who new earth episode (my daughter will be dissapointed that I can't recall the species, but you know, the cat nuns)
Or 'Vincent' from Beauty and the Beast 80's TV series who is now appearing as Hell Boy, it does help that Ron Perlman is a very fine character actor.

Have people seen many wemic make-ups on chaps with facial hair?
Its on my list as next character after this one drops/is dropped...but its working round the beard...

I favour prosthetics for wemics, false muzzle and ears. Something to break up the human silhouette.

If I'm stying on topic (which I will, for fear of another post deleted!)

I don't think prothetics or ears are required, PD certainly doesn't stipulate them, and from my experience they either look really good, or really bad. I'd say it is a case by case scenario, and I personally won't be wearing a prosthetic. (It'd cover up my sneering, and we can't have that!)

Ears on a headband/kittie ears, in my personal oppinion, look rubbish. I hate them with a passion, and they immediately make me think of cat-girls or children dressing up. They just do nothing for me, in fact they jarr and bother me. Same with drawn-on wiskars, I don't like those either.

For me, the important parts are the nose, the mouth area, and no goddamn monkey-neck. All areas of visible skin should be make-up'd appropriately, no hairless wemics!

If we're talking wildest variation, then we should really talk about the most basic, simple make-up that says "wemic". For me, it's the nose, the mouth, and the line down the middle from nose to mouth that say "wemic", if you've got those, you've got wemic. Any make-up job on top of that will still look wemicy enough in my eyes, as long as it's not just bare skin.

I know this is a slightly oldish topic now buuuut for anyone passing, what about if wemics had ears attatched to the head in some clever sort of way that looked realistic???

Nice. How does that work with the hair, or do you need a balaclava or wig?

Re: (this is one of those threads people keep coming back to)

I've "field" tested them as such and they are good in photoshoots but are so light that they flop over in the wind (as hair isn't really that attatched to your head, only at the roots). You should see me next event with them strongly attatched to a close cropped wig. Oh my goodness, so much to do!
