Zombie Bite

This is a demo piece I created for a guest lecture I gave to a group of makeup students this morning. It is a gel-filled prosthetic appliance; deadened silicone encapsulated with a bald cap vinyl plastic skin. It was cast in a silicone plate mold I made from a quick sculpt.

It was adhered with ProsAide and the cap plastic edges were then melted away with acetone for an entirely seamless appearance. I colored it with Skin Illustrator alcohol activated makeup to give it an inflamed and slightly infected look.
