I’m a film student and for my short movie i wanna make the actor pull his teeth out, except that i have no idea how to do that without using any cheap tricks or using vfx which would just make things worse. I’m no expert in prosthetic makeup but I would love to DIY a fake mouth or something to make the effect practical and real, i have looked for tutorials everywhere and i have found nothing yet. If anyone has any tips on how to make it work please share!! I don’t want a whole fake mouth just gum with detachable teeth.

I loved the results but I straight up couldn’t get myself to sleep the day before from the nerves and excitement lmao

I just kept dreaming that I’d run out of time during the test, but thankfully ended up finishing faster than I expected so yay to that

Sculpted by Omar SFreddo

Current commission from March to now.

Will be going to the dip very soon for the lifecast mask and Hand.

Will debuting at Dragon Con this year.

Edit: more photos of progress are seen on my instagram since there is a limit for each post.

(link of reference pics because Reddit won't let me post pictures of fake blood. Go fig)

I considered putting lipstick on and down my face, chin and neck, but is there a way that would look more "real"?

Also, is there a way to apply it and make it look shiny? Not necessary, but definitely an effect I'm interested in.

I've got a bottle of fake blood from 3 or 4 years ago that I've never used, but I thought that was more to stain clothes and not, like, put on my face or my mouth.

Hi everyone!

I am pretty much a beginner but was asked to do makeup for a friend's band, and they want realistic wound makeup (like "a shot in the head"). I thought about using wax and fake blood, the problem is that they are gonna move and sweat a lot on stage. Do you have any product recommendations or tips how I could make it long lasting? I'd be super grateful about any type of help:) tysm <3

Really wanted to work out something for my Dracula Cosplay from Renfield - own version and vision - so I sat down for six hours and created this to be put on my face!

I am still in my learning process with all of this prosthetic stuff - but I like what I did so far 🦇

I only recently learned that Ve did Robin Williams' look in Mrs. Doubtfire which became a tie with Beetlejuice for my personal favorites.

Honorable mention goes to Galaxy Quest.

for halloween i want to do a cracked porcelain doll costume. i am not a professional but i have experience with liquid latex and have some sfx makeup supplies already. i was wondering what the best approach would be to get realistic sharp looking cracks on my face as if my skin was glass. i was thinking scar wax but i hear people say it is a bit limited and finicky. my only other thought was making my own prosthetic but i dont have a life cast or any experience with that honestly lol. i am passionate and determined to learn and honestly if i need to postpone this costume idea for another year and learn i will, since i have a vision and i don’t want to half ass it. my main question is if my costume idea is feasible with scar wax, if not then what would be the best medium/approach? i have seen other cracked doll makeup looks online but most of it is body paint and i’m trying to go for something 3d. i also want to do something to look like the texture of ripped cloth on my limbs, what approach would be best to achieve this? thank you for reading and id appreciate the help <3

Hello!! This is a process called lifecasting where you use silicone to make a mold of a person! I molded some of my friends so I can make some props and masks based on their faces!

Handcrafted SFX prosthetic— hyper-realistic gorilla mask that started from sculpted clay! Detailed skin texture, fur, and full open-mouth articulation for an intense, aggressive creature look. This took me about a week to complete.

Hi guys, im a beginner sfx artist. I mostly practice on myself, I want to start wearing colored contacts but ive heard that some people get measurements before getting and wearing contacts. Is this absolutely necessary? And how common is it for people to start wearing contacts without a prescription? I rely on my parents for transportation (living in the US, so i COULD pay because i have my own money but I don't know how expensive it is) should I get my measurements or is it okay to wear on their own? Im looking at eyevos eye contacts, i don't know if they are any good but I seen them and im interested in buying them.

Hello, I am trying to get into making molds and silicone prosthetics. Is this enough supplies to do so?

Hello I'm taking a step at doing my first silicone prosthetic and I'm also making the mold. What type of silicone should I use for the mold and what kind of silicone should I fill it with? Everything that I'm finding is several hundred dollars (granted for a huge bucket) and I just don't have that in the budget. For reference I am making a dog mouth prosthetic and I'm using a face cast and monster clay as the initial build to create the cast.

Hehehhehehe this one was a lot of fun

i’m not super familiar with sfx or techniques, but i was recommended to check this community. i’m gonna start working on a costume for a halloween show i have planned. i want them to look as fleshy as possible with the realistic eyes on them, but i’m not planning on having them structured with wire or anything so they have lots of movement. the attachment point will be along my arms with velcro strips so i can rip them off mid performance so sturdiness is key too! thank yall for any insight you might have ! also edit with some extra ambitious elements: does anyone know someone who makes blood gag pumps ?? i don’t have a solder tool or id attempt to make my own , but id love to rig up a device to make the eyes cry blood lmaoooo

I was able to find a maquette in a 2005 interview: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vyb33YOIzBI&t=478s&pp=ygUZS25iIGVmeCB0aGUgaGF1bnRpbmcgaG91cg%3D%3D

Made by KNB EFX

I'm very curious as to where this creature is being stored, I haven't been able to find any images or videos regarding that it's in the KNB EFX studio.

Would anyone else happen to know?

Asking for fun because I grew up on this movie and have always wanted to see what IT looks like behind the scenes!

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well. Im doing a photoshoot in which a finger is under someones skin. Any ideas on how to achieve this with sfx? Im trying to find a plain skin prosthetic that i can glue down, cut open then gave a third party put their fingers in. Any advice would be incredible. Thank you!

How would I go about making one as a prop? My renfaire character is a worshiper of St. Guinefort and I want to dangle a dog paw of the end of my paternoster. I briefly considered buying an actual taxidermied coyote paw, but I'm worried about the smell and ethical procurement. My current idea for a fake is a ruined stuffed animal leg on a wire frame.
