not seeing it, but maybe in other pictures?

I just did restore on my computer last night, some damn blackhats attacked me when I was vulnerable... lost everything. That, and one that doesn't really show much of me, is all I have on photobucket. I'll upload the other one for the hell of it, too. Standby.

...the second one is closer than the first, but i'm still not seeing it. maybe if you have more photos with more of a fae aesthetic at some point? (i confess to seeing this community as being as much about the aesthetic as the individuals, and photography contributes (or fails to) enormously.)

Not really. To me, all the clothing and makeup only distorts (or taints) the true read on someone. It's like an extremely muscular child putting on a Hulk mask and expecting people to think he's the Hulk. Well, he may very well be the Hulk, but the mask isn't what would make it so...

Arcane influence is telegraphed through means other than clothing and/or make-up and/or the environment in which the picture is taken. Look past the lack of a "specialty" situation and judge on the telegraphed vibe...

*shrug* your interpretive mileage may vary. i don't personally think an individual's looks as conveyed through a photograph posted to lj could possibly say all that much about their "arcane influence", whatever the heck that is. in fact i think the concept is kind of insultingly superficial, as if their looks could be said to say anything about their integrity, their intelligence, or any other meaningful aspect of their character. fortunately, i don't think this community is in the business of telling people whether they *are* arcanely influential; if i am correct in my understanding of the info page, it's just to say whether they *look fae*.

either way, i am not seeing it in you in either photo. so aside from this comment (which i hope the moderators will forgive; i am trying to be clear, not to be negative), all i have to say is "no".
