My first full head prosthetic!

My first full head prosthetic!





I decided to make an homage to the movie "Tank girl" and make a female Ripper. It's a kangaroo. Here are the steps I took to make it.


1. Full head life cast in Body Double.


2. Ultracal 30 to make positive of life cast


3. Begin sculpting in clean clay


4. Cast finished sculpture into a mold


5. Fill finished mold with prosthetic grade latex foam.


6. Paint with PAX


7. Punch in whiskers


8. Apply to model


9 Blend eye and mouth  piece to model


10. Add finishing makeup touches


11. Add Wig and clothes and VOILA!
