Description
The Amazing Dandhi is a side character from my upcoming comic/live action series Resurrection Nina. He's a famous clairvoyant, TV psychic, has his own dodgy hotlines, and lends his 'incredible gift' to the police force in 'solving' crimes. There is much more to him than his public persona, though, which I'm looking forward to revealing through the comics.

This was the result of my first make up test with the actor who'll be playing him. Styling the wig, getting his stage make up figured out. Dandhi plays on ancient egyptian, art nouveau and art deco styles a lot - his make up and colour schemes are from his fascination with pharaohs. The right eye, when he raises his eyebrow, turns into a question mark (his stupid trademark, always punctuating sentences). A lot of gold eye shadow, blue notes in his hair, and his clothes are blue and gold themed while following a weird mish-mash of vegas art nouveau mucha. Like old school magicians, who beautifully tailored their look to project a character.

Dandhi is very much about presentation to mask the real fellow.

He isn't in costume here, and is missing a contact lens, as well as it being a basic test - we were originally just styling the wig but decided to go all out with my make up for some test photos (note how he isn't clean shaven, where he will be for actual shoots). He brought out the tarot cards and things just worked, lol, there was Dandhi.

The primary influences for his character are: The Stupendous Yappi from the X-Files, The Amazing Randi (from whom we lovingly pay homage with the pun name), Alexander 'The Man Who Knows', Crowley, and many more bits and pieces from golden era magicians and spiritualists.

I laughed my ass off when a shot from this test I had on instagram was liked by the official final fantasy account... does that mean he's got official bishounen status? God damn I hope so.

If you'd like to follow development, you can add me on instagram: noellecriminova

As I haven't made a dedicated facebook group yet, and the comics is still in production and yet to go live online.
