Down the Rabbit Hole....

Its been a loooong time since I've posted, and I totally apologise for that...its been a challenging couple of days with college, finishing up students and writing a new qualification for Media Makeup but nothing makes me happier then to create something new...

So here it is my latest prosthetic character. I have loved Alice In Wonderland for years, its always given me a creative buzz and inspired so many thing for me. Its one of those books that you can read a million times overs and not get bored. When Tim Burton's versions of the books came out I was incredibly excited at what weird and wonderful vision would be create. I was not disappointed.

So after I watched Alice: Through the Looking Glass I was inspired to create something; I wasn't sure if I wanted a prosthetic, a makeup or a body art but eventually settled on prosthetic sfx character.

Out came the Monster Clay and my sculpting tools from +PS Composites LTD ....

I knew I wanted to incorporate a steampunk element into the piece and decided that the sculpt would be a collection of elements including cogs, looking glasses, clocks, etc. all on the face of the white rabbit.

As you can see I even added elements linked to the Red Queen through the playing cards and roses.

Painting the piece was a little more challenging as I definitely didn't want it to be traditional colours and I wanted the Steam punk elements to really come out through the paint work so what better colour to select then golds, bronzes and purples using +MEL Products 

I had originally planned to sculpt some roses for the Red Queen side but the sculpt wouldn't of come out as well so this part had to be fabrication after the prosthetic was finished.

Painted using +Bdellium Tools 

Time to make some bunny ears...I'll be honest didn't know how to create these with the stuff I had...I originally wanted to create those cute lace ears that you see but alas I had no lace...so I found this silver mesh stuff in my craft box and thought what the hell...

I had organically planned to create the roses out of tissue paper but that didn't look good enough so I found these fake roses...again in my craft box which worked really well with my piece and the whole steam punk mood.

After adding the roses to the prosthetic I figured that the ears would look quiet cool if I made them up out of roses. So I attached the roses all over the mess ears I had made which looked good when everything was put together.

 I was very excited to put all of this together and see what I created that I decided to create an Application Video of it which can be seen on my YouTube channel. (once I've edited it up)

I took quiet a lot of photos...which isn't really a surprise as am always conscious that I've missed a good shot and by the time I realise it I'll have taken all the makeup off...soooo I took some with the DLSR (which am looking to upgrade to one that takes video as well as photo's) and some with my jazzy phone (which has a decent camera!)

I like it...its what was in my head...

Make applied was:

+Sugarpill Goldilux and Penelope loose pigments...love these pigments, really Steampunk-esque.

+Kat Von D Chrysalis palette and True Romance palette in Poetica

+illamasqua Rose Gold Palette

+Eldora Lashes S143

As I said before their will be an application video which I will get on editing ASAP but make sure to subscribe to my channel to check it out!

I have also got more images up on the facebook page and on Instagram so check them out as well as and make sure to like and follow me.

Like I said am currently writing a new qualification course for hair and media makeup at Blackburn College so I will be back soon with some posts about project work am setting my fabulous students and some more crazy creative pieces of makeup to show you, still following my dreams.

So stay tuned!
