Back on my bullshit 🐀

Another practice piece with a Brad Dourif character (Graveyard Shift exterminator Tucker Cleveland) by way of classical art (Perseus with the Head of Medusa, yeah I know, but it's still kind of a hot statue).

I love his look so much in this movie, and especially this saucy little pirouette he does in Warwick's office.

The leaning pose brings out an androgyny in the character that I find maddeningly attractive. The hair, the loose collar, the play of light on the dangly earring — all highlight the slender lines of his neck, and the pretty divot at the bottom, picked out by the backlighting. The character's chewing tobacco habit shapes his mouth in a distinctive way that, with those downcast eyelashes, make me wish I were Warwick sitting on that desk. (At least, until the spitting...)

Sweet Jesus, get the spray bottle.

Previously in this series: X-Files x Saint Sebastian and Spontaneous Combustion x Hot Satan! I've made some updates, so maybe they'll all return together soon.

VALIDATION!! THis is what I’m TALKIN about, Jack and Raimi totally had Vibes. I gave them a moment in my Death Machine music video and knowing that he CHOSE to push Brad against the wall with that finger on his mouth is giving me the absolute vapors.

brad dourif: shit's getting real when they pop the headlights

While fawning over BD’s supernaturally gorgeous eyes, I had to pick just a few gifs to illustrate That Thing where directors highlight him from an off-angle so they seem to glow internally. You know something's about to go down when they bust out this trick.

Problem: The X-Files alone is chock-full of this effect, and there are a gajillion more from other media. So: a dedicated post!

Starting with the ole one-eye highlight — they usually pick the right one, which is a little lifted and turned (I'm calling it his cat-eye):

Cue the lightning!!!

Sometimes it makes an iridescent crescent shape. I know it's meant to be scary, but he's such a terribly pretty boy:

Getting creative with some uplighting and a rare left eye (it's nice to see her getting some attention)...

...And some more extreme angles. How does this even work?!

It's just... captivating. I'm gonna go lie down now. (Think I actually stole all the gifs from @exdeputysonso this time. I'm basically a recycler for all their hard work and tbqh I'm fine with that)

Procrastination time!! Rat man doodle!!!!!
