I think my model for Quentin was spot in with the look I had planned and seen originally in my head. I wanted the makeup to be subtle and natural on his skin with the detailing giving the audience the feeling of something being wrong with the character. I really like this lighting too. In other images the makeup is much clearer as a detail aspect such as his heavy eye bags. Something about this image though works best; its almost like he's looking desperately into your eyes helpless.
Evaluation
My character design on Quentin for me was something that had come into my head rather early on in the project. My only problem was projecting that idea into a clear design. Quentin in my eyes had the potential to be something big but he wasted himself away trying to be something he idolised in the vampire world. The costuming for Quentin is inspired by the era he died in but also takes a huge chunk from the Rockabilly 'greaser' fashion. The makeup for Quentin was pretty spot on to the facial chart that I had planned the only problem was showing the makeup clearly for camera as for me it looks a little light compared to how it really was. If I could redo this shoot I'd make the eye bags more striking out. The costuming and hair though is what I had planned. Does he look like a vampire? well for me in True Blood the vampires don't especially look to different from humans thats the whole point. Claudia's imagination of Quentin is exactly what decade she still thinks it is the eighties, I think the shoot overall was successful
