Description
my halloween look last weekend
simple but quite convincing if i may say so myself. reactions where priceless.
when people saw me driving my car their jaws dropped xD
went to the movie theatre aswell, wich is always really crowded during halloween night. making a low grunting noise so people look over their shoulders and get spooked was pretty fun.
also some people would just keep on staring and come closer to see wich part is mask and wich isnt
it's a zipper glued to my face and blended with skin color paint, and red face paint on the inside. the zipper face has been done before by others, and when i tried it myself, turns out its not that hard as it might seem.
done in about an hour, maybe 1hr 30.
i didnt wear any lenses, my eyes are photoshopped in this picture to give it even more of a dramatic effect.
i am not a makeup, costume or gore effects artist. this is my first try at the zipper face, and i didnt have a whole lot to work with. i'm mostly a digital painter and traditional airbrusher.

Didn't do a good job blending it to your face, and I seen this concept before.

it was my first time trying something like this, i'm not a pro at makeup or gore effects or anything. the zipper face has indeed been done before. are you a makeup artist yourself maybe? as you seem quite the critic

Na, just a keen eye for details.
I remember the concept was done before because I liked it when I first saw it.
Though the one that look like cut skin being weaved together took the cake.
Not a bad attempt though.

Impressive! My family doesn't do more than hand out candy, but I've always wanted to dress up as a ninja! (Original, I know.

thanks! halloween isn't really celebrated in my country. if someone would go trick-or-treating in my country, people would just call the cops

I think the dressing up is the biggest part of Halloween here, too. At least for the older people. The candy is really for the kids. At least, that's how I've always seen it, anyway. . . .

That is an awesome job on the effects makeup. color match is dead on, and the texture of the zipper kind of shows which makes it more freaky. Did you just latex over it with already made to color or how long it take to match color?

i colored the zipper roughly the same tone of my skin before putting it on, i used glue to hold it in place and an acrylic gel paste to blend the edges. then i just added some makeup i found in my mother's dresser to add some more skin tone. all in all it took about an hour and a half

interesting, I have not used gel paste yet. then again I have just started learning the craft. thanks for the information. I appreciate it. great work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the acrylic gel paste is used for thickening paint, so you are able to put on thicker layers on a canvas or painting. it can be used as a sort of glue aswell. i had it lying around my workspace and figured it might work, and so it did

i've had quite some people screaming. the best thing was when i turn my head the zipper moves along with the skin very nicely, wich makes it even more convincing.
