Casualty Week

We covered a lot in this week so I'm just going to post some pictures up. Its all a bit gruesome but I absolutely loved it and you got to be really creative.At first we just started off with black eyes, then some cuts and grazes.

We also learned how to create slit writs using wax and fake blood.

Cold Sore

Burns

The above were some of my favourite pieces, there are too many photos to post so that's all you'll see unless you have my facebook :P

At the End of the week we had an assignment. We all got given a different tragedy or incident, mine was about a woman who got abused in the woodlands then shot in the head. 

One of the details I favoured the most in this assignment were the hands, I tried to make them look as if they had been scraped badly on some surface. 

.. eee I hate when I scrape my hands, its one of the most annoying pains ever. 

Anyways, sorry didn't make this post too detailed, I'm pretty behind on this sooo just had to do a little catch up :P

Facial Hair

Last week we learnt what goes on with fake facial hair in movies and such. So we pretty much made the hair ourselves, starting off with Moustaches. I was sick that week so I only got up to making two stashes and a chin piece. 

David Bowie in The Prestige

The tutor that was teaching us that week works for the company that made this moustache for David Bowie in the Movie, The Prestige. Don't know about you guys, but I looovvveedd that film :)

Yeah, making these stashes was more of a mission than I thought it was... to make it sound less confusing, we pretty much had a transparent piece of lace pinned down to a cushion head, and we had to sew each individual hair onto the piece of lace to give it a more realistic look when you place it onto the skin. 

After each hair is sewed on, it looks like this. Haha. Well unfortunatly its not done. The stash then has to be groomed by combing and curling it. 

After its curled, we comb it out then trim it depending on what kind of moustache we were trying to achieve. 

This is one of my sets, the hairpieces are stuck on with spirit gum. Very sticky stuff... and seriously when I had it on it was soo uncomfortable, I don't know how guys cope with that.

Haha, well I thought it was pretty realistic. It was a pesty process but in the end you make something you can use loads of times till it wears out, and its pretty shweeeet! :)
