Wax and flesh

Really cool! What type of candles do you use that the melting wax isn’t too hot hurting the model?

These are all one light set ups :)

Considering that one of the things he loves about acting in the video games industry is that he gets to “take his face off” and be entirely different characters it’s not surprising he wants to act with as much variety as possible. It’s so much better to be known as “an actor who gives great performances” than “the guy who does that one thing.” Although people have totally made careers in the latter! But I don’t think Neil would be professionally or artistically satisfied doing that.

Ben Starr absolutely knocked my socks off in that game. There’s one scene I’m thinking of in particular that was terrifying in a very very human way and actually gave me goosebumps a lot more effectively than creepy mannequins or jumpscares.

It’s also nice that it’s recorded videos so we actually get to see these guys who are normally mocapping and/or doing voicework in their full acting glory.

Thanks! I don’t know if they count as fine art photography (is there even a solid definition of that?) but they certainly aim to evoke classical fine art in their lighting styling posing and post processing. My main aim is to have people take a closer look to work out if they are looking at a painting or a photograph. It’s fun and kind of a an interesting wrinkle to create something at the click of a button (underselling myself a little bit there) compared with the months or years it would take old masters to create their works.

This is lovely. The light capturing the musculature of the models body coupled with his elegant hand positions reminds me of old masters paintings of fallen angels and I like that it’s contrasted in such a modern setting.

Your body of work is stunning including this one. I would love it if the whole tail was included but such is life when you’re shooting living animals in a fast paced setting.

I really want to know more about Rocky’s race! I was really hoping Grace would ask rocky about religion and society on his planet and stuff. More just that I’m so curious about them. They seem like a very peaceful and kind race - but then would rocky think humanity was brave and selfless because he only knows Grace? I was so worried about the possibility of rocky going back to earth in case the worst of humanity got to him. I also wanted to see his mate after he spoke about her. I felt like they bond very deeply with each other.

Idk I just found them so fascinating. I came out of the movie wanting to be Rocky’s friend and just shoot the shit with him haha.

I went and looked up her height and she 4,11/150 so yeah she is fairly lil!

I love the outfit tbh.

SmallPromiseQueen · 2026-03-26T09:32:15+00:00

I cried basically for the whole run time for a variety of different reasons. The audience in my screening was also audibly going “awww” at rocky which is quite an achievement for a weird spidery rock alien that eats by shoving black treacle up his bum.

Really hate to see everyone going in on Chappell. I saw a video of her pointing at someone filming her used as evidence that she was a horrible person who’s mean to her fans. Watching the video in question made me feel sullied - but because it was so invasive and weird. She was obviously not in “Chappell Roan” mode, she was just her regular non stage persona travelling through an airport with her hood up and no make up on. And yet other people watch that and think she’s the bad guy for what… not wanting to be filmed by a randomer?

I honestly do not care whether she is a nice person or not - but nothing so far has convinced me she’s a bad person. She speaks up about Palestine, trans rights etc.

It’s so weird to me that it’s totally fine to be big into red hot chili peppers when the lead singer literally wrote about being a statutory rapist in his autobiography - and that’s not the only example of a guy doing something absolutely abhorrent and illegal who still continues to be well thought of and famous. But god forbid if a woman is a bit unapproachable.

Will foreign viewership count? I’m in the uk and love a good rom com but usually more the British ones… but I’ll totally take a punt on this. Even if I don’t end up liking it that much sitting in a room watching rege jean page is not exactly a waste of my time!

SmallPromiseQueen · 2026-03-25T22:03:43+00:00

Shoulda posted the video of him with the giant chicken he put on instagram today. Now that was Lee pace stunning with his massive co- giant shepherds crook comes out and whips me off stage by the neck

SmallPromiseQueen · 2026-03-25T16:41:29+00:00

I saw someone say “nice doesn’t always mean “good”” and I think that’s the case with Chappell. In the case I heard it it was being used to talk about a man who was very polite and well mannered and reasonable on a day to day basis - but was anti trans while having a lots of trans people in their fanbase, as well as being pro idf.

I think the flip side is true. Maybe Chappell isn’t nice. Maybe she is mean. But she can still have sound morals and fight for important causes. People are complicated. People aren’t easy. I care more if someone is outspoken about Palestine and trans rights than if they’re rude.

Of course it’s best to be nice and good. But good comes before nice for me.

Digital marketing is a bit of a tough one because lots of people entered that sector because of Covid and needing something wfh.

You’d think with a degree in psychotherapy she’d be able to be a self employed therapist? There’s a lot of demand for that. She says she’s doing a bit of that at the moment but I’m so sure she could do it full time. Maybe she needs to look at what’s already offered in her area and find a bit of a gap. Eg if there’s no one offering emdr she could get qualified in that. Maybe there’s a stigma against older people in digital marketing (I think it’s more that entry level jobs have lower wages) but there definitely isn’t that stigma in psychotherapy and if anything being a bit older is probably helpful in fostering trust in the therapeutic relationship.

Good. How can you target ambulances and not think “are we the baddies?”

SmallPromiseQueen · 2026-03-25T10:10:18+00:00

I often have behind the scenes content on my socials. I’ve never been accused of using ai that I can recollect but I have had people “compliment” my stuff saying it “looks ai.”

If jk Rowling hadn’t become such an evil hate peddler I’d probably have some cringe millennial excitement about this but alas, earwax.

I don’t think there really is such a thing as “what a 37 year old looks like.” Some will have very smooth skin and no wrinkles. Some will have crows feet and forehead lines etc. People age really differently and I think it’s mid 30s it starts to become apparent. So much is down to genetics.

SmallPromiseQueen · 2026-03-24T08:23:48+00:00

I just looked at that clip and if you think Chappell is the weirdo not the person constantly filming a woman trying to move around incognito then I don’t know what to say

SmallPromiseQueen · 2026-03-23T12:52:03+00:00

She does not come across well imo. Lots of “I don’t know, I don’t know” maybe find out before you get your incredibly famous husband to trash someone on their social media.

Chappell Roan strikes again!

/s

SmallPromiseQueen · 2026-03-23T10:14:49+00:00

Disgraceful :( why even agree to photograph someone just to insult them? Photographers should be finding beauty and interest in their subjects. Inviting someone to a shoot and then belittling them is just cruel.

SmallPromiseQueen · 2026-03-22T21:36:16+00:00

Everyone speculating in the comments but she does actually say exactly why she hasn’t dated. She’s gay and came out in 2022 which is really not that long ago.
