Re: Dragon Geisha
I really like this!! It is such a developed profile. A tiny observation, could something have been done to the neck area & hands? Still a great piece of work!
Prometheus Regenerating
Prometheus RegeneratingThe Greek God whose immortal liver was feasted on day after day by Zeus' eagle. His remarkable ability to grow back his liver is symbolic of regeneration. Here we find Prometheus in the process of total regeneration and rebirth.
This body paint was done using superstar cosmetics body paints and synthetic moss, found in a plant store.

Succubus
This character was created for a short film called "Monsters"
Character Desciption:
“The succubus is the nightmarish embodiment of hero Dante’s struggle with lust and loyalty. She represents everything he desires and how he feels about them.”
Materials and process:
I created several flat latex stipple pieces (2-3 layers) that I attached like a corsage to the actress' torso. I also added several other stops throughout her upper body and arms of latex stipple. I body painted veins with EBA Red and Pro Air Warm Flesh. On top of the latex, I added pre-made gelatin (BGE gelatin clear) puss drops. Over the gelatin puss, I added two additional layers of latex and then ripped the latex open to make the puss look like it is bursting through the skin. I added more red and yellow colors with Mehron bruise wheel grease paints along the torn latex skin and gelatin puss. Then I added KY and Kryolan scab blood to the puss areas. I covered the actress' entire torso with Ultra Slime and added mouth stain in purple.

Baby Goat
Hi, I'm Lonneke, a make-up artist student in Arnhem (the netherlands) last year I didn't have many classes due to covid, so i decided to try and learn to make something by myself.
This is Baby Goat, an ex furby. I stripped the furby down to it's basics and then sculpted the goat design on top, molded it and then ran a prosthetic. For the final step, I painted him, gave him goad like eyes and punched in every white hair by hand. I also sculpted him some removable teeth. Now it's my little pseudo animatronic, used for projects by Goatstories.

Dragon Geisha
This character was created for a short film called "Monsters"
Character Desciption:
Materials and process:
I used the Kurat Demon prosthetic brow from MostlyDead.com, airbrushed the face with EBA white and then added a white and red mix to create a gradient pink tone on the prosthetic ridges, horns and checkbones. I also added a traditional red Geisha lip. The wig was purchased online and re-styled according to traditional Geisha customs.
The burn was created with Skin Tite silicone from Smooth On directly on the cheek. After that I added Kryolan scab blood and BenNye Ash on the burn scar to accentuate the burned flesh.

“The dragon Geisha represents the weird creations our mind creates that haunt us in the periphery of our vision. She lives in the mirror world, menacing our thoughts from beyond.”

90s Zombie
Created a zombie with foam latex. Inspired by The Walking Dead, Dawn of The Dead, and the 90’s. Painted with pax paint, skin illustrator, and thick blood gel. Added layers of warmth before I added some “dead colors”. Decided not to do white eye contacts for my model. Morgan’s natural blue eyes was a nice contrast to the makeup and her hair color.
