Currently grappling with the fact that the art piece im working on sounds incredibly boring and bad when im trying to explain it to people. But its actually interesting and good you'd just have to actually see it for it to work. The moment i mention that it involves making ads i can feel people shutting their brain off. I promise im not in marketing i just love the bad dumb visual language of commercial photography and using it as a grounding point for absurdist humor and body horror.

Another Non-Sims Post

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, but I’ve been busy on set the last few weeks and I’ll be doing assistant locations until the end of this month. But here are a few chic BTS monster shots from last month!

I created a muck-man/fish-man silicone mask for a short in a 72-hour horror film competition. Then I had to wear it and swim around in 40 degree water so the director could get the shot we wanted of me breaking the surface!

If anyone is interested, I can post process pics to show how I make these goopy silicone masks.

BREÑA FX - Совтек T-7

"... is my take on the V7C Bubble Font Big Muff, made at the Sovtek factory circa 1995. This variant is almost identical to the V7 Civil War Muff, known for being more dynamic with less compression, emphasized mid-range and big low end. The name Совтек is Russian Cyrillic script and translates to Sovtek.

What sets this Muff apart from the rest is a newly redesigned original turret layout. My goal was to create a new turret design that would fit inside a standard size 1590BB style enclosure.

At the heart of the Совтек T-7 are the original Soviet, KT3102E (green/white dot) transistors, and KD522B clipping diodes. I only had enough of these mojo parts for a small run, so when they're gone, they're gone.

Other features include a switchable tone stack with two sets of toggle switches (SW1 and SW2) located at the top of the enclosure. This feature independently changes the filter capacitors that determine the cut or boost of mid frequencies when turning the tone knob, giving you up to four different flavors of tone.

All switches down - classic scooped mids All switches up - boosted mids centered at ~1kHz SW1 up / SW2 down - flat e.q. with no mid scoop or boost SW1 down / SW2 up - slight low/mid boost centered at ~700Hz

Features Include:

- Original design turret board - NOS KT3102E silicon transistors - NOS KD522B silicon clipping diodes - NOS tropical fish, film, monolithic, and polystyrene capacitors ... - GØRVA design S90 enclosure in military green - Vintage aluminum Hi-Fi knobs (med/large - asymmetrical knob layout) "

Hi! I really admire your cosplays and all the work you do! Your Loki cosplays were actually some of the first major cosplays I was exposed to, and it ended up really inspiring me to try it myself.

I was actually wondering how you blend your elf ears for characters like Astarion and Galadriel; it always looks really smooth in pictures and I haven’t been able to find any tutorials online for the blending part of the application.

Thanks, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Heya! And thanks so much, it always makes me SO so happy to hear I can inspire folks to jump into their own cosplay endeavours!

So re: ears, it actually depends on which photos you're looking at. In photoshoot pics, I'll usually touch up the ear edge in photoshop to look more seamless, so if you're looking at those, that's just the magic of finished photos haha. But there are a couple things I do too to make the ears look better in person!

I usually cut off the lobes if the ears come with them, so it's more like an ear tip, which for my ears blends better than having a full ear covering!

I paint the ears with matching foundation AND (this is the important part) blush! At least for super pale white folks like me, ears have a ton of red/pink tones and matching your personal ear colours makes a huge difference in how natural they look.

I apply my ears with pros aide, which is a medical grade adhesive and is SUPER sticky and very long-lasting. I can really squish the ear down flat against my own ear contours so it has as little of a gap as possible.

My ears are latex and bought from Madhouse FX; if you want something even more realistic, silicone ears are even better, and if you wanna go SUPER custom, you could try making your own ear casts/moulds/scupts and these will blend better than prebought anything (I would love to try that sometime, just haven't had the time haha)

I know this is probably a lot more info and a bit of a tangent from your initial question, but I wanted to throw extra info out there for anyone else who might be reading!

Amazing!!!

#Repost Make up Artist Richard Martin on Facebook : "Now #thedayofthejackal is out in America, I can finally start showing the work we did on the series I can't explain how proud I am of the work we did on this and will be forever greatfull for the opportunity to be Prosthetic Designer to Mr Redmayne for this show.

In episode 1, I was tasked with creating Ralph Becker. A heavy smoking down and out janitor. Director Brian Kirk explained it was to be the opening scene, and he wanted Eddie to be completely unrecognisable. He also had to face the real Ralph Becker who he had killed, so we had to create a full Becker dummy which was very exciting.

Here's Eddie in his Becker disguise without his aged contact lenses. I'll post more behind the scenes on how we created the make up and the body next week.

Day 1 for May DWC 2024 Mysterious - Appearance

★ Backstage Glimpses at Hearts of Tenacity Fest ★

'It's for the show, I'd do anything for the show.' He thought to himself internally for the thirtieth time tonight. 'Elune please, I beg of you please make my nose stop itching.' Mind over matter Kon... you are tougher than this. You can get through this. "Bare with us a little longer Kon, how are you holding up in there?" A familiar voice said though his eyes were still closed. "I'm managing, but my arms are getting heavy." "Do you need us to get you some broom handles to hold onto?" The question brought a sense of hope. "NO! No we can't his palms haven't finished curing yet." A different yet also familiar voice exclaimed. And like that, his hope was gone in an instant and the weight of his arms grew even heavier. "I will be alright everyone, worry not." Kon said sounding calm and confident even if he was internally dying. Who'd have ever thought that being mostly naked with only a tight thong on his body would make him hotter than hell itself. Or course, he was also covered literally head to toe in high performance platinum silicone rubber specifically designed for creating silicone makeup and fake skin effects. Did the audience truly know how to appreciate the artwork that went into such special FX? Did they know how many hours one had to stand perfectly still while layer after layer was applied. Hours spent sculpting each wound, each scale on his body and each scar. The science behind creating certain spray molds and smooth casting. All the chemicals used and mixed perfectly and time spent letting them cure in their molds to later be applied to his body. All the talcum powder applied and the adhesive applied painstakingly to every inch of his body. Being forced to resist the urge to twitch when it tickled, to scratch when it itched, to move at all and risk an imperfection of something falling off or not sticking when it wasn't dry yet. Light forbid if you have to take a leak during all this, a bathroom break was NOT an option when this heavy of effects were applied. One had to risk dehydration from the moment they woke as they could not risk having a full bladder till the show was over. And even as the last of the prosthetics were finally applied, then come the hours of makeup to get the color and tone just right to make it more believable. So much so the audience would genuinely feel it was real as they quite literally could reach out and touch it. It was all for the visuals and the more real it looked, the more real it became. This was nothing Kon told himself, trying for a moment to just imagine what it would be like to become an Illidari in reality. To embrace the fel magics and your literal inner demon as your body is twisted and torn into something grotesque for the power and ability to fight fire with fire in the most literal of sense. What he was going through now paled in comparison to the real deal. But tell that to the literal STING in cheek DEMANDING to be itched. To the ache in his arms as they felt like 50 pound weights. To the crick in his back for standing still for so long without moving. To the throb in his feet as every muscle scream to move. To the... "TALTHORN!" Konietzko suddenly yelled, head jerking up from the backstage table it had been resting on. A few cotton balls stuck to his skin from the heat he'd generated in his short respite he'd unintentionally taken to get a little shut eye in the dressing room backstage before the big show tonight. His eyes wide with alert and darting around confused as he was ripped from his slumber so suddenly. "Sorry Kal'dalah, I didn't mean to wake you." The magi replied not too far behind him mid wince as he picked up the brush he'd just accidentally dropped from his own hand. "Damn thing got tangled in my hair." he whimpered trying to fix the tiniest of knots in his long well kept silver locks.

Still somewhat confused in his sudden wakefulness, Konietzko staggered out of his chair and went to Talthorn taking his hands a little desperately as he looked him in the eyes being rather dramatic. This was nothing new to his husband of course so he just laughed as he held Kon in return. "Pleeeaaaseee tell me you're going to use your magic to apply my Illidari makeup for Inner Beast's set tomorrow." Kon whined making Talthorn quip a brow. "Of course, do you doubt my talents love?" "NEVER!" Kon exclaimed as he breathed a breath of relief so big it was as if he'd been holding it all this time. "Thank Elune I married a magi." Talthorn laughed as he reached up to remove those cotton balls on his cheek. "You didn't marry me just because of my magic did you?" "Of course not Kal'dalah. Only -mostly- for your magic." Kon teased at him as he leaned in to kiss his husband holding him tight in a warm embrace with a deep smile curved along his lips. "GET A ROOM!" A shout cried followed by many giggles from the nearby doorway. A quick look and both saw a few of their fellow stars standing there watching them. "Why when being watched is soooo much better." Kon purred in his deep voice as he slid a finger down Talthorn's thigh then hooked his leg and raised it up around Kon's own thigh. Talthorn played along, pressing his body against his husband as he hit the onlookers with a look only this silver fox could pull off and that made many jealous of Kon's marriage to him in all honesty. The doorway filled with smug grins, laughter, a few yelps and even the sound of a few feet running away suddenly down the hallway of the backstage area. It filled the elves both with laughter of their own as they looked to one another once more. "Guess we'll just have to save it for the Talicious show." Kon teased as their leftover audience groaned their displeasure. What happened backstage at HoT Fest stayed at HoT Fest... or usually wound up on their stage in some form. Either way, noone ever complained.

Joey's passion for Halloween was legendary among his circle of friends, but this year he planned to elevate it to an unprecedented level. He had always loved not just dressing up but transforming entirely, becoming unrecognizable even to those closest to him. This year, he decided to share this transformative experience with his friends, promising them a group costume experience they would never forget.

Months Before Halloween

The journey began months earlier when Joey convinced his group of friends to agree to a mysterious group costume for Halloween. He covered all costs, asking them only for their trust and participation. Intrigued and a bit apprehensive, they agreed. Joey then introduced them to a team of professional prosthetic FX makeup artists he had hired directly from the film industry. These artists began the intricate process by taking detailed body and face molds of each friend. This was essential for crafting prosthetics that perfectly matched each individual's contours, ensuring not only the realism of the costumes but also their comfort.

The Day of Transformation

On the day of Halloween, Joey's friends arrived at his house early in the morning, excited and curious about what was in store. Joey had orchestrated everything to the smallest detail. All mirrors in the house were covered, ensuring that the first time they would see their transformed selves would be a collective experience.

As the makeup artists began their work, the air was filled with anticipation. Layers of silicone and latex transformed familiar faces into fantastical creations. Changes weren't limited to their faces; body suits altered their heights and shapes, making some taller, others broader. Custom-made dentures were fitted to change their teeth, while high-quality wigs and hairpieces altered their hair drastically. Even their voices were to be disguised, with voice modulators that matched their characters.

The Group Reveal

After hours of meticulous work, the transformation was complete. Joey gathered his friends in a large room where their costumes would finally be revealed. The energy was electric as they all stood in a circle, facing outwards. On Joey's cue, they turned inward and opened their eyes.

The reaction was a mix of shock and awe. No one could recognize anyone else; friends looked like strangers, characters out of a movie or a vivid dream. Their features were so altered—some had elongated ears or exaggerated facial features, others sported scales or furry textures—that the familiar was completely obliterated.

Embracing Their New Personas

As they each took in the other's appearance, laughter and exclamations filled the room. They marveled at the creativity and detail of their costumes, touching the textures and exploring the features. Joey then led them to the unveiling mirror, and the group, still in disbelief, finally saw themselves. The shock turned to excitement as they saw not themselves but entirely new beings.

Encouraged by their reflections, they began to adopt the personalities of their characters. Their movements changed, some becoming more graceful, others more menacing, depending on the character. Voices altered by the modulators, they began to interact, fully embodying the personas crafted for them. Joey watched, a proud orchestrator of this grand spectacle, as his friends lived out the fantasy worlds he so loved to create.

The party that evening was a culmination of their transformation, not just in appearance but in spirit. As they mingled with other guests, they remained in character, enjoying the anonymity and the freedom it brought. They were not just wearing costumes; they had become embodiments of Joey’s creative vision, and indeed, they were the sensation of the night.

The success of the night was palpable, not just in the awards they inevitably won, but in the shared experience of transformation that would become a cherished memory for each of them. Joey knew that Halloween would never be the same again for any of them. This was just the beginning.

Joey had orchestrated a complete transformation for his group of six friends into the bewitching characters from "Hocus Pocus," arranging a grand reveal that would solidify this Halloween as unforgettable.

The Moment of Reveal

In the designated room, Joey positioned his friends in a circle, all facing outwards. At his signal, they turned to face the center, their reactions a mix of shock, joy, and a bit of theatrical horror. Each had been transformed into a key character from the beloved film, their appearances so altered they were unrecognizable to one another.

Joey was Winifred Sanderson, with her distinctive buck-toothed smile and fiery red hair styled into Winifred's iconic heart-shaped updo. His face bore the exaggerated, dramatic makeup that made Winifred both fearsome and comical.

Clara embraced the role of Sarah Sanderson, her long blonde hair flowing in curls, her makeup giving her a hauntingly beautiful look, complemented by the mischievous glint perfectly captured in her eyes.

Tom transformed into Mary Sanderson, his makeup accentuating her unique, twisted smile and the signature mole. His costume puffed at the shoulders, mimicking Mary's robust silhouette.

Mia donned the costume of Billy Butcherson, the zombified ex-lover of Winifred. Prosthetics gave her a decomposed look, with stitched lips and a pallor that screamed 'undead.'

Evan took on the role of Thackery Binx in his human form, with period-appropriate attire and a wig that mimicked Binx’s youthful, colonial hairstyle.

Liz became Dani Dennison, complete with her Halloween witch costume, replete with a pointy hat and a cape, embodying the brave, spirited little sister from the film.

Exploring Their New Personas

As they circled around, examining each other's transformations, the group slipped naturally into their characters. Joey, as Winifred, led with a commanding air, quoting some of her most memorable lines, while Clara, as Sarah, twirled and hummed, embodying the siren's playful allure. Tom, hunched slightly, mimicked Mary’s peculiar way of moving and her constant alertness to her elder sister’s commands.

Mia, as Billy, staggered around with a perfect undead shuffle, managing to grunt and gesture in a way that was both eerie and comical. Evan, portraying Thackery, adopted a protective stance, especially around Liz’s Dani, who clutched her candy bag tightly and looked around with wide, adventurous eyes.

The transformations were so complete and the portrayals so spirited that Joey and his friends felt they had truly stepped out of their own lives and into the enchanting, spooky world of "Hocus Pocus." The experience was not just about wearing a costume but about living briefly as someone wildly different, a testament to the magic of Halloween and Joey’s dedication to an immersive celebration.

Joey's Halloween creation was a masterclass in transformation, each costume a masterpiece of detail that reshaped not only the appearance but also the physicality and presence of his friends. After the initial reveal and embrace of their new identities, Joey orchestrated the next step: the mirror reveal. Up to this point, none had seen themselves, guided by blindfolds as they were dressed, their anticipation building.

The Mirror Reveal

Joey led each friend, one by one, to a full-length mirror. The rest of the group watched, their excitement palpable, as each individual got their first look at their complete transformation.

Joey (Winifred Sanderson): Joey was first. As the blindfold was removed, he was struck by the sight of Winifred staring back at him. The prosthetics altered his face to match her distinctive features, and the body suit adjusted his shape to emulate her robust figure. The detail in the costume, from the texture of the fabric to the aging of the garments, was impeccable. Joey practiced Winifred's commanding gestures, reveling in the authority the costume lent him.

Clara (Sarah Sanderson): Clara gasped audibly when her blindfold was removed. The mirror reflected Sarah's ethereal beauty, with long, flowing blonde hair and captivating makeup that highlighted her alluring eyes. Clara moved gracefully, testing the sway of her costume and the fluidity it offered, perfectly suiting Sarah's seductive yet whimsical demeanor.

Tom (Mary Sanderson): Tom's transformation included a body suit that mimicked Mary's stout form, complete with her characteristic hunched posture. Seeing himself, Tom adjusted his stance, experimenting with Mary's peculiar waddle and her constantly scanning eyes, which added a comical element to his reflection.

Mia (Billy Butcherson): Mia’s reveal was dramatic. The stitches across her mouth rendered her mute, a challenge she embraced by only communicating through muffled grunts and exaggerated, silent-movie-style gestures. Her makeup gave her a haunting, decomposed look, and she staggered back and forth in front of the mirror, fully committing to the zombie's lumbering gait.

Evan (Thackery Binx): Evan, transformed into the heroic Thackery Binx, was dressed in period-appropriate attire. His reflection showed him a young, colonial figure, his posture straightening instinctively to match the noble demeanor of his character. He brushed his hands through the period wig, getting a feel for his character’s youthful energy.

Liz (Dani Dennison): Finally, Liz, dressed as the spirited Dani, smiled wide as she saw her Halloween witch costume come to life. The pointy hat, the cape, and her wide, excited eyes perfectly captured Dani’s adventurous spirit. Liz twirled and laughed, adjusting the cape and practicing her expressions of mock fear and delight.

As each person took in their reflection, the characters of "Hocus Pocus" seemed to come alive in Joey's living room. The transformations were not just physical but emotional and psychological, drawing each friend deeper into their roles. The detailed costumes and prosthetics allowed them to step fully into their characters, altering their movements, reactions, and interactions in a way that was both eerie and thrilling.

As Joey's friends absorbed the shock and wonder of their transformations, each detail of their costumes added layers to their new identities, challenging their usual perceptions of themselves.

Detailed Transformations

Joey and Tom were transformed into the Sanderson sisters, complete with anatomically accurate female prosthetics that reshaped their bodies. These included silicone breast forms and padding around the hips to create the voluptuous figures of Winifred and Mary Sanderson. The artists skillfully blended the prosthetics with their skin, making the additions look natural. This attention to detail extended to their garments, which were tailored to accentuate these new curves, giving Joey and Tom a genuine feel of their characters’ bodies. They moved differently, adjusting to the balance and sway of their new forms.

Mia, taking on the role of Billy Butcherson, underwent a different kind of transformation. Her costume involved compressive elements that flattened her chest, creating the illusion of a more masculine torso. Additional prosthetics provided the appearance of a penis, completing the transformation into the zombified ex-boyfriend of Winifred. The costume was designed to be unsettling yet accurate to the film’s portrayal, with Mia’s movements becoming more lumbering and less fluid, as if rediscovering how to use her limbs.

The Potion and Its Secret

After the mirror revelations, Joey gathered everyone in the kitchen, where he had set up a large cauldron, bubbling with dry ice for effect, to concoct a "potion." Playing into the theme, he handed out goblets as they added various non-alcoholic ingredients, each one chanting playful incantations from the movie as they stirred the brew.

With a theatrical flourish, Joey distributed the goblets, and they all drank together, laughing and continuing to quote lines. The drink was deliciously sweet, masking the real magic Joey had infused into the brew—a potion that would, unbeknownst to his friends, make their transformations last for an entire year.

Off to the Party

The group, now fully immersed in their characters, departed for the Halloween party. They were the center of attention, their costumes far beyond the ordinary, not just in look but in the uncanny way they embodied the characters. Little did they know, as the clock edged towards midnight, the playful fantasy of the evening was about to become a much longer reality.

Joey, the only one aware of the potion's true effect, watched the night unfold with a mix of excitement and apprehension. What had started as a Halloween adventure was set to become a year-long journey in their new skins. The revelation of this truth, when it would eventually come to light, would surely be as shocking as the transformations themselves.

As midnight approached, Joey's anticipation grew. How would his friends react to becoming the characters of "Hocus Pocus" not just for a night, but for an entire year? This Halloween was about to leave a mark on their lives in a way none of them could have anticipated.

As the Halloween party progressed, the effects of Joey's secret potion began to manifest more profoundly in his friends' behavior and physical experiences. Unbeknownst to them, the changes were no longer just external costumes but were becoming their new reality.

Exploring New Realities

Joey and Tom found themselves adapting to their newly acquired forms. Sitting together, they discussed the peculiar sensations of their transformed bodies. Joey, now embodying Winifred Sanderson, couldn't help but be fascinated by the feel of the silicone breasts that now seemed part of him. He explored the sensation discreetly, the weight and movement feeling foreign yet oddly intriguing.

Tom, similarly, was getting accustomed to the hips and the form of Mary Sanderson. The way his costume altered his posture and the distribution of weight around his hips was something he had never experienced. As they sat, they shared a look of bewildered amusement, their conversation turning to how these new bodies moved and felt, a mix of comedy and genuine curiosity coloring their exchange.

Mia, on the other hand, experienced a different kind of revelation. Assigned the role of Billy Butcherson, she found the addition of a prosthetic penis particularly novel. During a trip to the restroom, she experienced what it was like to stand to urinate—a mundane act for many but a completely new experience for her. Mia found herself surprisingly at ease with the change, the functionality of the prosthetic adding a layer of authenticity to her costume that she hadn't anticipated enjoying. The curiosity and novelty of the experience brought a smirk to her face as she realized the practical aspects of her temporary anatomy.

Adjusting to Their New Selves

Each friend, in their own way, began to bond with their new forms. The changes were subtle at first, enough to be dismissed as excellent costume design, but as the night wore on, the lines between costume and reality blurred. Joey's potion had laid the groundwork for these transformations, and as midnight drew closer, the permanence of their situation was still a secret kept only by Joey.

The Halloween party was a tremendous success, and as the clock struck midnight, Joey and his friends were declared the grand prize winners. The announcement came amidst a chorus of cheers and applause, their costumes garnering awe and admiration from everyone at the party. The celebration, coupled with the effects of alcohol, masked the deeper transformation that had been quietly unfolding throughout the evening.

The Morning After

The next morning, Joey's friends awoke, not in their beds as themselves, but still in the form of their "Hocus Pocus" characters. The full realization of their situation hadn't hit them yet as they stumbled out of their rooms, each encountering the unfamiliar reflection in the mirror.

Confusion and panic began to set in as they realized the costumes and makeup were no longer on them—they were them. Joey gathered his bewildered friends in the living room, where the previous night's festive atmosphere had been replaced by an air of uncertainty.

"Okay, everyone, please sit down. I have something important to tell you," Joey began, his tone serious and compassionate. "Last night wasn’t just about winning the costume contest or having the best Halloween. The potion we drank... it was real. It’s going to keep us like this—for a whole year."

The room fell silent, the weight of his words hanging heavily in the air.

Coming to Terms with Their New Reality

"But how? Why would you do this?" Clara asked, her voice tinged with disbelief and a hint of fear.

Joey sighed, "I wanted us to win, to have the best costumes ever, to really become our characters. I never imagined it would work this well. I’m sorry—I thought it would be fun."

The shock slowly morphed into a mix of resignation and curiosity. Joey explained that as the day went on, their memories of their former selves would start to fade, replaced by those of their characters. They would fully become Winifred, Mary, Sarah, Billy, Thackery, and Dani—not just in looks but in essence.

Embracing Their New Identities

As the reality set in, the group slowly began to embrace their fate. The initial shock gave way to a tentative acceptance. After all, they had always loved Halloween and the idea of becoming someone else for a night—now they had the chance to extend that adventure for a year.

Mia, still embodying Billy Butcherson, cracked a joke, her voice a perfect imitation of the character's raspy tone, "Well, at least I don’t have to worry about shaving."

Tom, adjusting his skirt, added, "And I’ve got to admit, these curves are kind of growing on me."

They spent the day together, exploring the nuances of their characters, testing their new voices, and adjusting to their new physicalities. As the sun set, they noticed a subtle shift—memories of their past selves fading, like dreams upon waking, and their new, magical personas taking hold.

Joey watched his friends adapt, feeling a mix of guilt and fascination. He had changed their lives drastically, albeit temporarily, and the journey they were now on was something none of them could have prepared for. Yet, as they laughed and shared a meal together that evening, Joey realized that they might just make the most of this unexpected adventure. Joey, after all was now a real witch. what's next.
