For my birthday last year I got a kitchen aid. Now, of course, you may wonder what this has to do with mask making. Quite a lot: Because in addition, I bought myself a mini oven. And that means I can now finally get to make foam latex prosthetics.
In the article I wrote a couple of days ago, I took a closer look at the Andorians’ skin colour, noting how makeup effects have improved over time. From a simple, two-tone makeup in TOS to modern silicone masks in DIS, a lot has changed. In this second instalment, I'd like to address another aspect of the special FX makeup that makes these aliens so unique: the Andorian antennae.
Creating a vector file for my Cricut plotter. Cheers to Daniel who made this beatifulk sketch of Spider-Bear. Have a look at all his other great drawings!
So, yes, I have tried a few materials for modeling. From clay to plasticine to plaster and silicone, there are a variety of options to create the perfect model or sculpture. But ever since I tried modeling with Monster Clay Medium, I've been completely in love with it.

Ok, ich gebe es zu. Star Trek und Science Fiction haben mich schon immer fasziniert und schon als ich klein war, wollte ich gerne eine romulanische Gesichtsprothese selbst herstellen. Was war ich glücklich, als mein örtlicher Bastelladen auf einem flüssiges Latex im Angebot hatte. Denn ich wusste: Die Masken sind ja aus Latex. Junge, wie falsch lag ich. Denn heute ist mir klar, wie viel mehr hinter Prosthetik steckt. Daher mal ein Artikel über Special-Effects-Makeup für Anfänger.
