Professional Make-Up Project
I did not apply arm pieces for the photographed shoot I painted bands around the arms in black greasepaint however I did not find it effective there fore sculpted and made some for the assessment instead.
I glued the piece onto the neck with prosaid since the pieces were only being seen in a photoshoot I did not need to really pay attention to the back of the piece where there was a gap between the sides. The prosthetic was too small for the neck and didnt reach the whole way round but this did not matter.
I did not take a picture of the final sculpt however the mould came away from the sculpt quickly and successfully as you can see above.
Here I began to sculpt in the outline, I covered the whole outlined area with clay, levelled it with a rake tool and began cutting shapes and sculpting them on top.
I took measurements from my models arm and stetched the template onto a wooden board with a ruler to create a guidline to sculpt on.
The above pictures show me about to run the silicone moilds. having applied vaseline and talc to prevent the silicone from unremovable from the mould.
In the picture above you can see the freckles clearly and the messy angular eyeliner. I was happy with the outcome as it did reflect my designs.
I ran out of platgel 10 and had to use 0, which is already pre deadened. The prosthetics were actually much harder for the assessment than they were before from the platgel 0 and this caused dificulty when stretching the pieces to meet edges together.
Here I am painting the prosthetics in the same way as beforei n preperation for the assessment.
Here is the piece once the second layer of colour had been applied. I let this dry before proceeding with adding the colours over the top.
I started painting the piece with oil paint mixed with low odour white spririt and silicone sealer. I applied the paint with a regular painting brush. The silver colour was quite thin so I had to build up the intensity with several layers.
I used around 600g of Part A and B silicone to fill the mould and even that amount just covered the highest points of the sculpt. I left this to cure for around 45 minutes to an hour and then pealed the mould off of the sculpt. The mould came off easily and barely any clay transfered into the mould. I cleaned this out and with IPA in preperation to run pieces in it.
I used 125g of Part A silicone 125g of Part B and 100g of silicone deadener.
I encapsulated the pieces with 1 part cap plastic and 3 parts IPA.
The first silicone piece worked well and was removed from the mould successfully although the cap plastic did tear off around the edges.
I began sculpting onto a plastic mannequin to create the initial shape of the neck. I then used a large board to lay the sculpt onto. Here I cut out various shapes sculpted onto the flat neck piece until I ended up with the sculpt shown above. In the picture I am part way through grounding up the flat piece, I did this by rolling out large pieces of clay and cutting long lines. It is important to make sure the clay is completely stuck down to the board and on the outer wall there must be no holes or gaps between the clay and board or all the silicone will pour out of the sculpt.
Futuristic Prosthetics
I next applied black oil paint mixed with the white spirit and silicone in all the areas shown above, the black colour was quite washy and needed a couple of layers. I then used blue, red, yellow and green to paint the button shapes in the centre of the piece.
