Scar head - Lion King Musical - head complete!

Woooo! Head is finally done. I'm quite proud of it ^_^


The head is mounted to a skull cap made of ABS plastic. I plastered my head with plastercloth, then vacuuformed a base. I covered the base wit Kanekalon to give Scar his hair instead of making a separate wig. With hair covers the zip ties and bolts holding the rigging of the head in place.

No, the head doesn't move... It would have been wonderful, and I might attempt it in the future, but the wiring and coding was just a little too complicated for me T_T

A make-up test... It'll look a lot better when I can pin down the sideburns so they don't flare out so much. I think I have the make-up down now.

Scar Lion King Musical - Head and Mane

Mooore scar...
I cast my first head with Resin in a slush cast.
Some bondo and a lot of sanding got the head just the way I wanted it :D


Paint job.... I started with a base of Dark watered down brown, then dry brushed a rusty orange and lighter tan color over top. The dry brushing highlights the raised sections and keeps the grooves dark.


Adding the mane... I am using strips of pre-cut styrene I found at the hobby store in the model train section. I hand drilled holes into the styrene strips and inserted wire into the holes for additional reinforcement to the head.

Scar Lion King Musical - casting

More Scar stuff.... finished head sculpting:



And casting.... I'm using Smooth-on Rebound 25. It was a whole evening of mixing small amounts, and gooping it on slowly.

Gilbert

Gilbert costume complete! Gilbert is from the Japanese version of the Cats musical. He plays Ghengis in the Growltiger scene.

I'm Wigging out!

Wigs and wigs and more wigs! This was a big wig weekend for me.

Jemima wig for commission


Gilbert Wig (the colors are so very Halloweeny :D)


I didn't entirely like my original Swedish Mungojerrie wig, so I made a new one.
This is the new one (thinner mohawk with more orange.... I tried to blend the colors more)

This is the old wig (chunkier mohawk.... chunkier colors)

Robin - Tim Drake

Just in time for Halloween... Tim Drake's version of Robin!




Yes, I AM a girl under there... I'm wearing a body shaper to reduce my curves and I'm sucking in my cheeks a little to give me a more male jaw.
I made everything but the belt and the mask on this costume.

Trying to time kicks with the camera on a timer is hard work!

Lion King Musical... make-up test

A Quick make-up test to try out my new creme make-up.
I've only ever really used cake before, so this is a real learning process from what I am used to. I think I need a bit more practice on this face, but I think I've mastered the lips! :I

My Patrick Brown impression:

A Little head comparison to see if the sculpt is the right scale to my head.... Hmm.. looks okay sofar.
