A Deeper Cut

These photos are of what happened when i got a little more comfortable with the makeup. i created a larger gash on my arm using soft wax to sculpt the wound, then red makeup to colourise the wound and surrounding skin, then some fake blood for obvious reasons... I was quite pleased with how it turned out, especially since it was convincing enough to freak out my next-door neighbour!

Something to kick off with

The two above images are my first attempt at making a cut on my hand. I was conservative with the makeup and wax, and just made a small cut, with some red discolouration around it. I was, and still am for that matter, very happy with how it turned out.

Mandate... and Zombies

Ok, i started this here blog a couple of months ago, with an eye to using it to showcase my various works, be it film, drawing, photography, or whatever. Since then, however, i've left it devoid of any output whatsoever.

I'm determined to change this, and have the perfect excuse to get my ass into gear. This year, i'm attending the Dublin zombie walk with some friends. determined to get serious about being undead for a day, i've decided to break out the ol' special effects make-up and make sure we're all shambling through the Fair City in style. as such, my first submission to this blog will be some nice photos and videos documenting the day, and hopefully showing off my special effects skillz.

so, y'know, watch this space.

Bill.
