Galen Erso impersonation cosplay costume, Mads Mikkelsen impersonation cosplay costume
My Galen Erso build was about 3 years ago. This was very basic and involved repurposing a sport coat and suit combo. The adornments include two pen caps covered in tinfoil with attached safety pins, a badge made of felt squares covered with colored chalk, and the belt buckle made from a soda can. This was my first attempt at matching a screen pose and started my cosplay goal of matching a known scene. My hair was close enough naturally, including hairline so no serious makeups were used on this build.

Earth Nymph
Hi, I'm chiara, I'm from rome and I'm 22 years old. For this project, the idea was to create a fantasy character representing the earth element, having as reference the dragonflies, an animal symbol of rebirth but also of attachment to the earth.
I decided to give life to a divinity, the mother of flora and fauna, almost as if she too was born from a lake, but with elegant and regal features. A form of metamorphosis that unites the human being with the animal world.
For this project, I was able to combine the world of makeup with that of stage design, and I created the prostheses and makeup, but also the stage design. I sculpted the rocks from blocks of polystyrene, which I then painted. Together with my green designer colleague Flaminia (@amorvincitomnia.design) we recreated the green part of the lagoon.
For the prosthetic make-up, I sculpted the prostheses on the model's mould and then replicated them in encapsulated silicone, which I coloured during application with alcohol-based paints.
I hope you enjoy it, thank you
Tiethulhu. Ask me anything
Meet tiethulhu, I made him as a quick deploy makeup. He was made in two days in my garage and can be applied in less than an hour and doesn’t overheat. Ask me anything about him I might even divulge a secret or two if asked enough questions. 
Diana from V the Series
I created the outfit using a red boiler suit and added black fabric for the stripes, I drew on the V symbol using black board marker. I added sparkly material to cardboard to make the black V shaped vest. I used latex over a mould to create the lizard-skin effect and then painted it green and attached to my face using latex. I then used green alien blood make up effect around the area and added extra latex which I then put foundation over to look like skin that had been torn. I made the gun from two kids toy guns stuck together in front of each other. I had fun making this costume, I didn’t win the local competition though.
Steampunk
I absolutely love Halloween, I always go all out. My hat was handmade from a camping mattress, black paint and gold dry brushing. My blouse was a man’s shirt. The bustle was made using strips of material. The face piece was a plaster cast of my eye socket, painted with silver, fixed on with latex and then the outside painted red. One of my favourite costumes
2022 Character Makeup Contest - "Ch the EXTRAterrestrial"
“Ch" is a very mischievous alien who made its rounds in the late 80’s pretending to be an extra on various sci-fi sets.
Seen here in polaroid continuity shots hamming it up for the camera.
Makeup Breakdown:
Encapsulated silicone appliances on face, latex ears, airbrush paint, contact lenses, ultra slime, tooth paint, and a lot of gafquat.
Ch was eventually caught and took their last glamour shot for the police cameras.
Ch is now an urban legend who has garnered cult status because of the older teamsters who reminisce about it to the up and comers.
