Final Hybrid Look

After my practice I knew exactly what aspects of my look that I needed to change or add, so as for the initial piece I made it a lot softer by adding more deadner to the silicone mix. This helped drastically reduce the splits between the baldez and silicone mixture. Below is a picture of the piece applied to the face with no colouring.

I also applied the piece a lot straighter which helped to stop the edges from splitting.

I also found during my practice that the baldez over the eyebrow helped to block them out, this is why I haven't blended them away in these images. This was concept that I was going to use to help get rid of the eyebrows, but in the end I had a lot of wax left over from building up the forehead that I cancelled them out using this technique. This ended up to be quite difficult but I did it in the end.

Above is the look before it was coloured, this shows the placement of the wax. As you can see it has built up the forehead to help the transition between the skin and the prosthetics piece, not only that but it relates to my idea of having a very wide head, although it's not massively obvious I think it really brings the look together. Again with the eyebrows - my practice didn't look very put together mainly because you could see the eyebrow hair, seeing this may possibly keep the human element to my hybrid but I just saw it as looking quite lazy and scruffy. There is still a lot of element to the look that keep the human part of the hybrid.

And above is my final outcome, I originally tried it on a black background but it really washed out the tone of the skin so I kept with white. I wish I defined my flaking/dry skin a bit more, especially around the forehead.

This was another thing that I forgot to mention in my practice example, was that I had planned to use flour and water for the whole look as well as the hair but in my practice it wasn't cracking on hair so I had to change my design to fullers earth, initially I was going to colour the head but decided against it because the cool tones of the grey in comparison to the warm skin tones worked really well and made for an interesting effect.
