Make-up and homemade prosthetic masks
April 5th, 2010It’s always good fun to go to costume parties and I try to make my own mask or make-up most of the time. It is still very amateurish but I’ve just started to make prosthetic masks in a more profesionnal way.
This is the latest prosthetic mask I made for a “Future Party”. This tiem I’ve tried to be a bit more professional in the making of the mask. I made a plaster cast of my face and sculpted the mask on top of it. I then made a mold of the mask and used some latex and polyurethane for the metalic part. The next article will be a step-by-step of the making of the mask.
I made this Avatar face for a “Future party”. I made the nose in super-sculpey and then I used multiple layers of liquid latex on top of it. The rest is just basic blue body paint.
This one was for a “Jungle party” and I used some yellow contact lenses.
This make-up and prosthetic mask was used for an”Halloween party”. Same as the avatar mask, I made the volume of the eyebrows and the nose in super sculpey and then I used thin layers of liquid latex. Once dry, I used some cotton under the latex mask to keep some volume.
I used this costume twice, once for a “Pirate party” and the second time for a Barroque Ball where I won the best costume of the night.
I was wearing this costume for a Burlesque Ball during the 2010 Fringe Festival in Adelaide.
Elfe completed
December 13th, 2009I had a bit of time last week to paint the sculpture. It was fun to play with the different textures in the clothing. I spent around 8 hours in total for the painting. I have enough of this one and can’t wait to start a new sculpture.
Young Elf
December 6th, 2009It’s been more than a year since the last sculpture…
Inspiration seems to be back so I got my clay out of the box and started making what will be a beautiful elf, at least I hope so.
The armature is in alluminium wire and she’s about 35cm tall, the maximum size I can fit in the oven. She had some flowers in her hair but they were burnt in the oven, it was 0.5cm too close to the top of my oven roof. I’m still struggling to make some nice wrinkles and folds in clothing so I decided to play it safe and give her some leather and strong fabric.
I bought some ’super sculpey firm’ (the gray bits) to experience the feel and I find it easier to work with for detail and texture. It was fun to make her look a bit precious and I can’t wait to paint her now she’s been baked. She will be holding a lantern in her right hand and I have to find her something to look at on the top of her left hand. Maybe an elephant…or not.

African pin-up
July 13th, 2008Time to make a new sculpture. I’ve just baked my black pin-up, added her eyes and made light shadows around her eyes and face and added a layer of varnish.
Here is the final piece.
and after some magic…
African pin-up
June 30th, 2008I haven’t been very productive the last month but here is new sculpture of a sexy black female character a made of fimo and super sculpey. She’s about 20cm tall.
I’ve tried to improve the her body shape and work a bit more on the muscles. I’ve also spent a bit more time smoothing the clay than usual.
I didn’t bake the sculpture yet. It looks like that so far.
Old lady’s hand holding a little blue pixy
May 19th, 2008After watching a very interresting documentary about hyper realistic artists like Ron Mueck, I wanted to try to make something realistic enough.
after making the basic shape of the hand, I’ve added wrinkles and the veins with a mix of light blue fimo and super sculey.
once the hand was finished, I’ve made a little blue pixy to add a bit more enery and life in the sculpture.
The little blue pixy skin is a mix of super sculpey and blue fimo. the eyes are black fimo with a drop of varnish to give them life.
Faun
May 19th, 2008I’m back with a new sculpture of a faun I made something like 3 weeks ago.
After watching Pan’s Labyrinth from Guillermo del Toro I wanted to make my own character a bit more human-like. This sculpture is a pure product of my imagination because of a lack of internet and I couldn’t get any references exept the human anatomy picture I have.
Here is the final result:
