Who Are We? Getting Ready For NewHive

Its onto making time, I've got pictures done for the physical representations of my profiles, this was easy to do for my realgirl and venus but took a bit more thinking when it came to the devil and aegle characters. I had looked at some classical art depictions of the devil but i felt that they didnt really fit in with what the image i was trying to create, so i thought about online anonymity and the default avatars you get on websites, those anonymous grey faces. Moving on from that i looked at sort of scary, sometimes androgenous makeup from the likes of Marilyn Manson, Mathu Andersen and Yolandi Visser before creating my own kinda androgenous anonymous default avatar thing.

Next was the Aegle255 character which was also a bit difficult to figure out  because her whole character is less about her physical apprearance and more about the things that represent her, her healthy eating, her sunny holidays, smoothies, green juices and home decor. I had this image in my head of Rene Magrittes Son of Man, i liked the idea of an obscured face, i thought id use some nice tulips from markies for my own photo, i think i might obscure her further, or add more to get this idea that shes more about things than physicality.

Venus35813 was pretty easy i already knew what i wanted to do for her photos. I made a recreation of one of Kim Kardashians most infamous instagram posts as well as some lounging photos that i want to use to recreate a painting of the goddess Venus.
