Since we were talking about it today, felt like a good excuse to finally explain mine! This has always been very certain in my mind, so I was surprised when I didn’t see much of it in the fandom.
Basically, my MF hair HC is a combination of two things:
First, that he has a curl texture, and either does not know, or does not know how to take care of it. There’s been another resurgence of the Curly Girl Method, and with that, you can watch many people discover their hair texture! You can look to ‘before and afters’ of this to see how many people, who do not have knowledge about curls, just come to the assumption that they have frizzy, coarse, and wavy hair.
I think if his hair was well cared for, he would probably have a 3A texture. I’ve heard many stories of kids who grew up with their hair being “brushed until it was straight” before they could go to school. The tighter the curl, the frizzier and bigger that’ll make your hair. White people are often taught to dry brush as well, and with Murderface already having bad hygiene, I imagine there’s a lot of damage going on here.
So, that’s my second key point! Not just the curl texture, but that we’re looking at a brushed out curl pattern. Here’s some brushed out curl pictures.
Along with my personal favorite…
Check out that shape! Imagine that, but shoulder length, with bangs. This image seems to be well-kept curly hair that was brushed out for fun, but imagine much more broken and dry, and you can see how it would become quite unrecognizable and untameable.
Young Murderface doesn’t get enough love. I bet he was BAD ASS back in the day.
This started as a sketch but I had so much fun I kept colouring it. Meant to be young Murderface wiping the nosebleed blood off his upper lip after kicking the shit out of someone in a fight.
“I should grow a mustache so all this blood stops getting in my mouth…”
Re blogging because this is one of my favorite drawings I’ve done ^^
Some colour on that doodle from yesterday. I have decided that this is how Pickles and Murderface get psyched before a show. They drink half their beer and then try to hit the other one with the bottles… because they’re morons.
Sometimes I think about making a full deck, but this is what I have for now
most of the cards were chosen for their aesthetic rather than for any character reason, but i included some meanings/explanations below the cut (these are mostly from my mom’s tarot book, so it might vary slightly depending on deck)
i am once again shoving pickleface in you face. a doodle based on the fic im writting which is also based on the song ‘pink in the night’ by mitski. Yes i am once again insurting mitski into everything. :)
Just a bit more weathering but he’s just about finished, and then FaceBones gets added to the Metalocalypse shadow puppet pile. Can you guess whose next on the gottafinishthisfuckingthing block? He’s pretty fucking giant. He hates dentists. He’s drank bleach. He makes really bad girlfriend choices. Oh and he held a political office once.
