Unfortunately it is in Tomsk (Томск), Russia. If you know where that is, I'm impressed. Basically it is Bumblefuck, Siberia - the sort of place one would get sent to in Imperial or Soviet Russia for being too clever for one's own good. Nonetheless, it is a brilliantly eccentric house. I wouldn't be surprised if it was built and originally inhabited by someone who pissed off Czar Nicholas.

I'm going to be very busy this week finishing these in Photoshop.


Dark Metal
There will be a lot more stage smoke added and the hairball throwing up the horns will be blurred.

Based on an old picture of Mr. Dark and Mew hamming it up at Sin City.



Victorian

The rest of this will be happening in Photoshop, obviously. I plan to use vintage photographs and absinthe posters.

And if you think this one looks a little like [livejournal.com profile] valerian and I, you're right.



BDSM/Fetish

Based on a photo of [livejournal.com profile] kitsune_13 and [livejournal.com profile] langsuir modelling gear from Mike's Custom Leather at the "Fallen II" fashion show, with an obvious Sin City plug.



Graver
The background on this one is going to be a fractal, smoke, and club lights. The glow-sticks will have tracers.

This one isn't based on any one photograph, although [livejournal.com profile] ladyvermath's wig at [livejournal.com profile] evilyn13's Pink 'n' Drink birthday party is a part of the inspiration.


The remaining ones to do today are:
  1. retro-goth: I'm most likely going to base this on [livejournal.com profile] voodoo__dolly.
  2. psychobilly/rockabilly: [livejournal.com profile] bigjohnbates and Scare-online without question - I already have the pictures picked out.
  3. wiccan: I'm not really sure how to represent this yet. It is going to have to be mostly about what is in the background. I've known too many wiccans (was even married to one) to even begin to come up with a stereotypical representation. Hopefully something will come to me.
  4. faery/pixie/Celtic: I have an image of [livejournal.com profile] darkleaves in mind.
  5. noise/electro-punk: WTF? Another one I'm not sure how to represent. How do I differentiate this visually from punk and rivet? Maybe something of [livejournal.com profile] 9322 will do - but I've no idea what to do for a background.

Psychobilly/Gothabilly

Heh. Behold "Skinny John Bates" - lol

The background on this one is mostly going to be smoke and lights.



Retro-goth

Based on [livejournal.com profile] voodoo__dolly. The background on this one is going to silhouettes simplified from one of my club photos.



Wiccan

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] sheilamarie for the suggestion that got me past my block on this one.


I have good ideas for what I am going to do for the faery/pixie/Celt-goth and the electro-punk, but I'm just plain out of time for today. So there are those last two drawings and then the colouring in photoshop. That means I've got about 40 more hours work to finish these all off.
