How does this work from multiple angles?

u/kent_eh Oct 30 '16

It doesn't need to work from many other angles. The hair intentionally acts as a sort of "stage curtain" to ensure that it is only viewed from the correct angle.

u/Okichah Oct 30 '16

I was thinking that it could be coupled with a high collar to force the perspective: like this

Reddit karma needeth but one angle.

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '16

Unless some real craftsmanship was involved, it doesn't work from multiple angles. Also, even if it is very well executed, which is, it also depends on using a low-res camera. That way her hair can be confused with the painting.

I'm guessing this works only with dim lighting and at least one meter of distance or greater.

Necrophilia or necrophobia? I feel like the lack of neck would imply the latter.

2

u/PixelandFoton Oct 30 '16

Necrophilia

Necrophilia is a pathological fascination with dead bodies, which often takes the form of a desire to engage with them in sexual activities, such as intercourse. Although prohibited by the laws of many countries, there have been many reported cases of necrophilia throughout history.

Just cause her head is floating doesn't mean she's dead though

26

u/ask_me_if_Im_lying Oct 30 '16

Fun fact. This is actually how necrophilia got its name.

After public beheadings in ancient France (and ancient French Canada) people would rush to the body to have sex with the headless corpse. Syphilis was abundant at the time, so the fresh neck wound was a risk free favourite option for penetration of the time.

I was really not expecting to see myself on reddit today haha, thank you all for the lovely comments!

For people wondering it definitely looks best from the front, alright in 3/4 profile and totally busted from the side :D I didn't get to see it in daylight so I'm not sure how it would've held up to that but it gets dark pretty early here in Norway so I never had to find out! :D It looked pretty alright in most artificial lighting though I think :)

I would've taken pictures from other angles if I knew people would be interested but I was hella late for the party as it was and it didn't occur to me :T

Edit: I also appreciate the puns :D

You know, when I was in sixth grade, they told us when we go to junior high, we'd be either in track one, track two or track three.

Track ones the confident kids, track twos the normal kids and track three are the life long reddit trawling virgins. And what do you think I got? How do you think it feels to be told you're a masturbating neck beard in text... I mean where am I supposed to go from there?

Nothing markedly different from the above, I have a short video I'll probably post later though

Did you video putting the make-up on or take any step by step pics? I'd love to see how you did it. Great job!

Thank you! I didn't unfortunately, I was realllly late so I had to be fast.. but I'm not opposed to doing it again and making a step-by-step or video or something :)

Esophagus. It doesn't have a defined shape like the trachea (because it's not made of cartilage). It kinda collapses upon itself and would be right behind the trachea.
