Hey Goth Members

[splitpea.livejournal.com]

If one of you unique people out there have a tendency to dress Goth, I need your help.

I need images of Goth people doing normal, everyday things like:

eating

brushing teeth

combing their hair

playing with their dog
etc.

I need these images as models for drawings. PLEASE try to make them close-ups. I'm not interested in how the surroundings look. Just YOU. If you can do some dramatic eye make-up, that'd be great. I need these images for an art assignment, I have until next Monday to have it DONE meaning I need the images this week so I can make my portraits and collages. PLEASE help me!!!

x-posted in lots of places. Sorry.

hm, this sounds like a fun challenge.. Ok then, I'll try my hand at goin' gothy and doin' the things listed using my digital cam, and see how you like them. ^_~ If it doesn't turn out to be what you're lookng for, I'll be more than happy to try something different. What sort of goth are you looking for? Natural-ish, or very dark and dramatic [such as the use of makeup]? What kinds of clothes did you hope to include?
Personally, I tend to favor PVC, color-tinted glasses, funky-colored nail polish, fishnets, dark reds/burgundy, chokers, black, dark blue, forest green, velvet, polyester/spandex mix material, and my biggest influences are Malice Mizer, EGL [obviously], Moi dix Mois, Gackt, and Rocky Horror.

Any further input or whatever you'd like [poses, places to pose, things to do, outfits, makeup styles, hair styles, etc] are most welcome so I can better accomodate you and your needs.

Do whatever you wish!!!

As long as you help me out, I'll love you forever and do my best to make it up to you. Try a little bit of everything, if you will. If nothing else, you'll have tons of new pictures to share with your LJ friends!

a reason to play dress up? I'm down!

Heh heh... I'm actually waiting for my fiance to come home so we can do laundry in the laundry room downstairs...I'll see if i can dress up now and he can take pics of me loading the laundry and stuff... yay for freaking out the neighbors! ^_^

(if I can't do that, then I'll think of other normal situations...but this sounds like fun!)

This kind of reminds me of my independent study I did in photography back in college. I shot a series of photos of goths doing mundane stuff. I ad cooking, fixing a computer, programming, vacuuming, surprising a girl with a rose, washing the car, riding a bike, reading a book in the park, window shopping, walking dogs, and gardening.

Hey, if I get some time I'd love to help you out! Can't promise anything, though, 'cause I'm busy with my own assigments... you wouldn't happen to know how to rig 3D models in Maya would you? Heh, don't worry, I'll see what I can do...

Would this picture (http://self-abstraction.org/rushedblue/pics/spicykiss.jpg) work?

!!!!!!!!!!

OH!!! It's purrrrrrfect! All of this posting and replying and posting and replying and I only get ONE picture! I've come to the conclusion that I will NOT finish my art project on Tuesday morning and I will have to dissapoint my peers, as well as myself.

BUT THANK YOU!!!!! For this image! I will use this one and love it forever because YOU are the person that sent me a picture without asking questions and giving me useless information. YOU are the one person that gave me exactly what I asked for and are absolutely beautiful for doing so.

I don't think it would be an understatement right now to say that I love you.

Why don't you just pick a picture of your model and use it as a map to create something original. It's not like you have to copy a picture exactly for an art project. That wouldn't help your ability out any.

Actually, I do. We have to do pencil sketches of actual images and then make a collage from them. He realized people could draw still life images that were anywhere near accurate, so he was giving us a chance to do something at home. I wanted to give mine a certain theme, but I guess I'll just draw things out a magazine.

I'm not good at explaining things, but, his reasoning behind the assignment is quite logical and most definately will help us artistically, later on in life.

Haha.. I'm really glad I helped then! Show me the project when you're done? :D
