It’s my boyfriend again for the (almost) yearly skull look I create on him! I love making intricate skull masks, and I also design them regularly for wrestler Malakai Black. This particular black skull mask is completely hand-sculpted.
To complete the look, I also made sculpted shoulder pieces.
For the shoot, I built an LED background, actually, two layers of background. The first had black and green swirls, and the second was a circular frame placed in front. I added a green LED to shine onto the swirls, making them glow beautifully. No post-editing here, everything is done in real life. No AI in this household, haha!
I also created this gown, sewing on every single coin by hand with needle and thread.
And do you see the scales? One holds a feather and the other a heart. The feather represents lightness, truth, and purity, while the heart symbolizes humanity and emotion. Together they play on the idea of balance, an eternal weighing of soul versus spirit.
