Sculpt Complete: Joker Makeup

What are you laughin' at? 

Texturing is more or less complete at this point.  It looks a little over the top, but I figure the whole thing's going to be painted bleachy white, with only a little grey shadowing, so the more the better.  I plan to mold this sucker tomorrow.

Something New

You ever dance with the Devil by the pale moon light?

Having made a few foam latex creature skins for last year's haunt, I'm trying my hand at foam latex prosthetics.  Above (and below) is the start of a Jack Nicholson Joker (from Burton's Batman) sculpted over a cast of my lower face.

At this point, I'm still roughing in the forms.  Once the sculpt is done, I'll mold it, cast it, paint it, and apply it.

Not only is this my first venture into prosthetic makeup, but it's also my first time using Chavant NSP clay.  It's very nice stuff.

CalHaunts Norcal #1

I spent my Saturday learning how to make some awesome Special Effects Teeth at my first CalHaunts Norcal meeting.  Cory and his minions from Nightmare Playgrounds did a superb job organizing and teaching the mysteries of acrylic teeth.  Everyone walked away with molds and castings of their real teeth, as well as a set of monster chompers, and the know-how to do it again and again.  Jealous?  You should be.
