Ringleader of FREAKY

Ringleader of FREAKY

This oddity is may be hard to nail down as something in particular except freaky fantasy, but that also has made it hard to take our eyes off of it :-) 

Does this character remind YOU of anything?

Human Fly Trap

Human Fly Trap

Now that's a slow way to go




Behind the Leaves:

First order of business : cutting many many tiny teeth.


Stage 2 :  Placing the "gum line" in cotton latex.  Very flattering full face chin strap? CHECK


Now because there are soon to be a LOT of teeth poking out and making access difficult, we shaded the inner rim of the mouth at this point.


 And then the creation began teething.



Scab blood...one of our favourite accessories. 


Having a glue gun working around the face is surprisingly nerve wracking, but well worth it for some lifelike drool.
The rest is history! We wish you happy FXing and good creative vibes.

Mummification

She was totally Petrified about being a Mummy....Ba-dum CHING :-D 





BEHIND THE CURTAIN OF MYSTERY :

First...you're gonna need a dog with no respect for personal space...

We cut up sponges into nice sharp and jutting shapes to mimic a rocky surface for our mummy to be chiseled out of.  These then were latexed on.


As a foundation shes a tad off, but for a base coat it works!!


Starting to evolve the paint job with a bit of darker colour, giving dynamic realism or some such malarkey.


This was our last progress photo...showing a bit more paint and some fleshy bits (cotton pulled apart) clinging on. 

See you next week and happy creating!

Forgotten Pirate

Forgotten Pirate

Davey Jones' locker spat him right back out again




Behind the Scenes:
To start this waterlogged look we sealed off the eyeball area with seran wrap, covered the precious eyebrows with vaseline and laid down our forms in cotton latex.


NEXT was base paint.No need to get to specific at this point, just big blocks of general colour will do.


PUTRIFICATION??? no prob..we've got a green for that. Also time to rat up the cotton a bit so it's more like rot.


This is homemade scarwax. Super simple equal parts flour and vaseline.  Lovely to carve out smaller shapes. 


Along with the scarwax it was time to get seashelled 


What pirate has time to keep a tidy beard on the high seas?? NONE WE KNOW.  Next came the hair laying.


But that beard was far too shiny and straight, so we tussled it up with latex for that grungy feel.

 DRINK BREAK before all the final touches of algae paint and a layer of glycerin were added.  The model is still happy as she doesn't realize this look is going to be taking a bath pretty soon for ALL THE REALISM.  Happy weekend to you all our there. Hope you enjoyed our unfortunate sailor look!

Bitter Queen

Bitter Queen

The malice of her cruel reign had twisted her beauty into something else...something unrecognizable.

It had also clouded her judgement so she neglected to remind me to take any progress pics 😜😩
This week was paint and only paint before we got to the royal accessories.
