[KRAVEN THE HUNTER]

A nose prosthetic application on our stuntman Sonny for a scene in the film where Kraven bites a chunk of his nose off. Due to a very tight turnaround, we opted to apply a generic nose to add some thickness so that we could cut further into it after a small wound had been applied ontop. Sonny had been shot on previously so it was important that we didnt alter his nose too much - although it did end up being a very quick gag. Aaron even had some bits of silicone to spit out at camera. All work for KM Effects.

[KRAVEN THE HUNTER]

Neck prosthetic application for Kristyan Mallet at KM Effects a couple of years ago, all for a blood rig on a double at WB. I carried out most of the build for this rig minus the lifecast and the silicone run. A fun job with a wonderfully talented team.

[HORRIBLE SCIENCE]

Prosthetic makeup using generic silicone appliances on @jmcnik for Hair and Makeup Designer @l.halstead on Horrible Science

Applied alongside @tevaehumphrey

Prosthetics from @fakefx1
Sculpted by @thegrumpysculptor

This was a pretty quick application of just over 2hours due to the fact that James was playing multiple characters over the course of the day. We didn’t require backs of hands for this character, just a little paint.

[HELLBOY: THE CROOKED MAN]

This was certainly a fun makeup to look after shooting between Greece and Bulgaria last May.
Martin was such a calming presence, patient and a super lovely guy to work with.

There were quite a few elements to this makeup. Not only what you can see of the face but full hand wraps, nails, teeth and lenses. Plus, Martin was wearing stilts for a few scenes in the shoot, at night ontop a very cold mountain.

Prosthetics Designer; @kristyan_mallett

Application by myself and @boykamladenova
Sculpted by @thegrumpysculptor

All lab work carried out by the extremely talented team at KM Effects Ltd.

[MARY AND GEORGE]

Neck sculpt for a blood rig on Niamh Algar for ‘Mary and George’. In the scene, Niamh’s character Sandie self inflicts a cut to her jugular causing her to bleed out.

Aurora and I carried out Niamh’s lifecast then I continued with the build until Kristyan’s wonderful silicone department cast the prosthetic.
