A previous student's makeup from the Arts University Bournemouth, Janet Loveday's final major project. A goat inspired makeup which I thought looked amazing as a final piece. I was more inspired of the usage of flocking, which was something I would want to consider for my final outcome. I have always been a huge fan of trying to gain knowledge of new materials and new methods of creating new things. Janets Final outcome struck me for inspiration, as it clearly showed the sort of outcome I could potentially create using flock, and usage of horns.
I am a part of the prosthetic group pages on Facebook for network purposes and to gain knowledge, and some advice. Neill Gorton Posted this image along with some other makeup's a few days ago, and I immediately noticed the use of flock. Again the use of this flock hasn't been purposedly chucked over the entire facial prosthetic. A great usage of the flocking of my opinion, it is evenly spread of the models face, and you can still visualise the prosthetic without thinking it looks mask-like. I loved the use of Colour that was used, and even a small prosthetic can be made to look realistic with a bit of hard thinking and careful application, This was something I would consider for my project.
I came across this amazing prosthetic within my internet searches. An amazing whole head prosthetic. I was intrigued by the symbol used on the head, and the finely made ears and horns, not to mention the hair punched beard, which looks really effective as a whole. Although I didn't want to create an entire whole head until my last final major as I still don't feel confident enough to make one, I still loved the features of the face and I thought these features could all be made seperately, still giving my model room to breathe, and to show parts of her own skin.
An inspired makeup of mine, which I chose to put in my main inspiration page. Which generally means, this is the path I want to go down to create something like this. My Tumnus appeared a great character in the movie, no dramatic facial prosthetics were really necessary for his part, and even the use of horns, ears , a slight nose change and some hair was enough to make him appear faun like, let's not forget his other half, where he was half faun from the waist down.
I love the use of flock, at this point flock seems to look effective, especially on this lady. I wanted a feminine looking faun, and to get this inspiration was useful. From my research it was really difficult to find a faun makeup with full prosthetics for a woman. This lady is mean't to appear like a goat, but I loved the use of the mouth and nose prosthetic, and the colouration of the flock. The lady still looks feminine, which is what I wanted for my character, and the slight usage of flock around the face still gives it that realistic appearance , rather than covering the entire face with it.
Sexy Beasts, the show designed for dating candidates to be made up to go on dates. This one struck me the most, as again this appeared like flocking, but instead the entire face was covered in it, which made it seem more mask like, rather than effective. I still think it looks great as a whole, but personally to make someone look like a store teddy bear isn't the intention I have.
A great DVD I took out to watch how flocking is demonstrated, and the effectiveness it has on prosthetics. She demonstrated how you can apply flocking to animatronic based skins. This above, was a lion ready to be hair punched, and flocked. Prosaide was used to apply to the prosthetic beforehand, and then the flocking was then shook onto it using a flocking machine, the hair was blown out which applied it evenly over the prosthetic, and stuck to where the glue was. Various colours can be applied in layers, the hair then sticks up at a certain degree making it appear like realistic fur,
