Nice!!
Fantastic work.
Do you know what to use to paint it with?
If not its fairly simple.
Thin down some of the latex with distilled water, mix with acrylic paints and either airbrush it on or sponge it on like makeup. Once its dry, take the tack away with a translusent powder or just regular baby powder.
If your using regular baby powder you can bring back the color of mask with a light mist of hairspray. Leave the edges of your appliances free of color so you can glue them down nicely. You want to keep the edges as thin as possible until you have it glued on. Then you can take prosaide or more latex and with a stipple sponge blend the egdes into the face. To speed the process you can use a hair dryer set on cool.
Sorry for being so overly suggestful but i love this stuff and i have a degree in prosthetic and theatrical makeup. TOOT TOOT!
OH! and make sure you se a really good theatrical adheidsive,because latex is sorta difficult to keep attached to the skin. And get some detach-al make/glue remover. Trust me.
Can't wait to see it all done and on ya:thumbsup
Thanks for the tips, acrylics are definitely the way to go for the base colour, then highlight and shading with rubber mask grease. Painting is the part I'm most looking forward to, where my lovely wife can get involved (she's a makeup artist).
I'll be using betabond to apply it, very strong, you'd tear skin before tearing it :eek. Will remove with isopropyl alcohol.
Once it's applied, I will coat it with a light layer of KY, Bib has that slimy sweat sheen.
Really good work!
.. but how will the headpiece support the weight of the lekku?
Any further progress?
