LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!

Last Christmas was like no other... As the clock struck 12 and the full moon appeared the creatures of Christmas fell prey to a mysterious curse that changed them... One of them was The Snow Man.

Original characters, concepts, makeup and costumes made personally.

Latex mask prosthetic with moulded EVA foam teeth and nose. Iridescent sparkles applied for color shifts on ice effect.

“Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down, and his angels with him”

I decided to take this description of the fallen angel Lucifer (Satan) as the dragon, and re-envisioned him to take a new form of a femme fatale. This demonic dark angel is made up of 5 silicone Prosthetics (Ears, neck, face and bottom lip) and 12 resin horns. Including a handmade human hair wig. This was a solo project carried out during lockdown and so all areas of design, sculpting, moulding, application and hair work was completed myself. Hope you love her.

Based on a Darksiders 2 character. The hands and face are made using latex with the raised eyebrows and ear portions backed with soft expanding foam to keep them standing out. 
The face is applied over a full latex neck piece constructed using upholstery foam and felt with latex over the top of that to bulk out that neck area and give me some muscles. The hands are backed using some batting to increase their size and keep them flexible. 
Latex was painted with airbrush and rubber cement, then applied with body paint over that and blended on the sides with latex and tissue. The hands were the first hands I've ever done in a two part mold so that was a fun experience! 
This was also self applied so I am in fact the person underneath all of this as well!

Thanks for your consideration in this amazing competition and feeding our need to see cool creations. ]]> Lizard warrior https://forums.stanwinstonschool.com/discussion/7673/lizard-warrior Wed, 19 Aug 2020 16:43:30 +0000 Monster Makeup Contest Dean Garner 7673@/discussions ]]> Helena (Queen of Instagram) https://forums.stanwinstonschool.com/discussion/7603/helena-queen-of-instagram Tue, 28 Jul 2020 18:39:47 +0000 Monster Makeup Contest weirdoluis 7603@/discussions

The swarm queen leads the invasion, luring men to an untimely demise after using them to breed her army of hybrids.
seductive and beautiful at first, she reveals her true face when its too late to scream.

This was only my second attempt at a foam latex prosthetic, so I had to experiment a little with the edges.
sculpted, molded, painted and applied by me. (Slime mixed by me too.)

I designed it, took a head cast of my model, sculpted the creature on the cast using chevant clay, molded it and created a large prosthetic / mask out of latex. I painted it with splashes of UV paint so It would glow under UV lighting. 

I have a BA honors degree in character makeup for stage and screen and I am now trying to get a job in the industry. Winning this competition would mean so much to me.
