MartyMichaels Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 What happened to your head? Speaking of head (mind out of the gutter, ComaWhite) I did some super lofi makeup tests for the Red Skull this morning. I don't have any red makeup (bizarrely) so I did a traditional white and black skull. Didn't put my white contacts in, didn't bother with a bald cap, just sat down in front of the mirror and had some fun. Looks ok for what it is, I guess.

comawhite Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Not too bad. I did think of ways you could create a mask/headgear for it, but the movable jaw and materials are the tricky part... could end up being too pricey for a one shot wear. ...plus wearing a spandex mask is hot and sweaty enough. Makeups going to be far more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchthesky Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) My head...lol. Im not wearing any make-up and I feel poopie..so Douglas was under strict instructions to ensure my head was not in the photo. I like the skull! i actually just bought white foundation for my costume lol. im looking for gold contacts but i cant find them anywhere.

Makeups going to be far more comfortable. Funny you should mention that, cause I was thinking much the same thing myself. If only the con was during or after October, cause it would be way easier to get a hold of a decent skull mask to canibalise during that particular month. Woochie do a skull prostehtic, but, like most of Woochie's stuff, it's not great. They seem to be to makeup what Rubies are to masks and costumes. Oh, and Vikki - how about these?

MartyMichaels Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 do you think they'd work against blue eyes? Don't see why not. I have blue eyes and all my contacts work great, so yeah, they should be fine. Thanks for the link, too, but that skull's a bit cheezeball looking. The problem is the cheezeball ones are the only affordable ones and the good looking ones cost a freakin' bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchthesky Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Aye..was the same with that dress lol..the screen-used one was a Dianne Von Fustenberg which now, because of the movie, doesn't seem to sell for less than £500. I'm happy enough tho. Okay, I'm gonna buy the contacts once my pay goes in. Any idea how long they last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I like the idea of a make-up Red Skull Marty, simply because it'll give you that full range of emotions that comic characters like that have, but which is difficult to translate into the real world. Having said that, I thought that this one was pretty good. Obviously imagine it painted red with detail work. It's obvious you know what you're doing with regards to this stuff so you'd be able to throw something together for the back of the head, yeah?

That's pretty nice. For twenty quids it's certainly worth a look. Okay, I'm gonna buy the contacts once my pay goes in. Any idea how long they last? Strictly speaking, you're only supposed to use them for, like, 30 days, but if you keep them clean and don't mess about with them, they'll last you a while. My green pair are a year old, and they're fine - they don't irritate my eyes at all. Edited January 27, 2010 by MartyMichaels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comawhite Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 That skull Turtle posted is quite nice. It's worth checking out and working with as an alternative if you can handle the discomfort. The flexibility is a selling point, and might allow more freedom to talk, eat etc without removing it. I imagine with the hooded section, you'd need to create something for the back... that could be easy to knock up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
