Wound Test

Tried making a wound with Ben Nye's gelatin wound kit in a mold. It came out okay and blended into the skin nicely but the gelatin is so soft it was hard to paint. It's also very fragile so i don't know how effective it will be on a costume, maybe just for film.

Quick Makeup Sketch

I drew this on my break at work today, just a quick idea for my Halloween makeup.

Mass Effect Artwork; Before & After

This is an illustration i made for my boyfriend for his birthday. It is a pen drawing I colored in Photoshop. Here you can see the original pen drawing compared to the finished work.

This painting...

I added a coat of black to the one with wood and cloth from my earlier post then I dry-brushed gold over it and gold splatters. Not sure what to do with it yet, or if it's finished.

First attempt at burn scars

This was my first attempt at creating scarring from burns using my Ben Nye Scar Gel on Scott's face. I'm not too satisfied with the results so I will experiment with different materials next time.

Paintings in Process

Here are a couple of my in process paintings. They are going to be part of my ArtForSharks series of shark related artwork which I plan to sell and then donate a percentage of the earnings to the Sea Shepherd's Shark Defense Campaign. The first one on the left is a framed cork-board covered in strips of newspaper stuck on with wallpaper paste and has a thin layer of white painted over. The middle is three small wooden squares glued together and wrapped in fabric. The one on the right is a shelf with a wood texture painted on and a thin layer of blotchy green and blue. I don't have any definite ideas for these yet so we'll see what happens.

Halloween Makeup Test #1

Here is the first full face makeup with contacts for my Halloween costume. I plan on being a zombie tennis player which will include a headband so i didn't add much detail on the forehead since it will be covered. Hopefully I can get a hold of a broken tennis racket as well.
