Frank's final eyes and lips

Lips glossed with satin gloss, eye make-up with matte gloss. Human eyelashes [Manic Panic, Purple Rain Dance] cut down to size and added. I'm really proud of my work. The finished product looks much smirkier and more animated than my mask-like conceptual drawing. I attribute this less to any talent that I may have and more to the high-quality canvas [Volks resin] and tools [Prismacolors] at my disposal. Pic below.

He's looking good!!

My one suggestion would be to blush a little bit around his nose, nostrils, and philtrum -- that looks kind of 'bare' in comparison to his colorful features. Humans have a little bit of color in those areas (pinky-violet, usually), so I think that would add to the realism.

Love the lashes!!

Teehee, you said philtrum...

Thanks for the comment, ashbet. He's not finished yet. I actually posted over on DOA, asking about where to blush, and your suggestion really helps. I'll take ya up on it. Re lashes -- Manic Panic is awesome!

Maybe a little in the ears and on the earlobes, too?

And yeah, the eyelashes are VERY fun-lookin'.

I adore the lips! They look so nice! I'll agree with what others have said about some color for life around the nostrils and earlobes... and maybe a little on the inner corners of the eyes. Gonna trim the eyelashes or leave them long?
