Brangeta Barnabas Collins Hands 2013

My Halloween costume for 2013: Barnabas Collins from the Tim Burton movie Dark Shadows. This year I improved on the costume by doing my makeup a little better, added the ring (that I made last year and forgot to wear) to my finger, repainted and slightly resculpted the finger extensions, made new cuff links, and added the black stitching to the shirt collar and sleeve cuffs. This year, I painted blood on myself so even those who hadn't seen the movie would understand that I was a vampire. I ended up winning 4th place in a costume contest. This pic is a front and back picture of my left hand the day before Halloween when I was figuring out how I was going to blend the extensions into my hands and how I was going to make the blood look. I used Photoshop to combine the two pictures into one.
