Airbrushing Motorcycles

So, after lounging around for a few days, I decided to proceed to the completion of T-Minus-5. However, I didn’t really do much at all. I made him look slightly more proportional, smoothed the surface to give it a shiny look, and that’s pretty much it. Most of the details in the original blueprint of this particular character will probably be left out considering that they don’t really fit with the whole 3D image of this mask. Plus, the original character’s mask was not exactly wearable. Over all, he came out pretty decent! If I do anything in correlation to the original character, I will most likely be painting it on. Like the 5′s on the forehead and the 5′s near the eye slits, and so on. I will most likely be making another T-Minus-5 mask later down the road when I’m more experienced with fine detail. For now, this mask will suffice. IN OTHER NEWS: Underbite came out alright and I’ll probably use him in another project. I might mount him on my wall or something. I wouldn’t want the latex to go to waste. The seam line of the most recent “ThE HoRRoR” copy was sadly not what I expected to be. We’re human, we make mistakes. So don’t make the mistake I did. If you have a bad seam-line, well then better luck next time because the “seam line trick” will just make it worse. I’ll use that particular copy as a canvas to practice airbrushing. Next mask coming up is: Ghost. HOWEVER, I do not possess the materials to make this mask at this time, so I may make a “mini mask” in …

This is a t-shirt I did for myself for a 1960′s themed party. Decided on Star Trek subject because this was one of my favorite episode back in those days. Airbrush on t-shirt is quite challenging and allot of fun. I often do similar airbrush projects for myself for fun and to keap techniques as sharp as possible, especially after working on some projects that require allot of masking…or very little free hand work. I decided to share with you some images of various steps to create this shirt. The challenging part of this T was to work over a blue background while getting the correct skin tones. I use masks around the main subject to protect the shirt from overspray.

This is a Latex 1/2 mask made for my friend. I originally cast this piece in silicone, but because it started off as a mold of my head, the mask was a little too big for anybody but me. Because Latex shrinks, I was able to try the mask out a second time in latex and it worked just fine. This is also the first mask I have used an airbrush with and I like it a bunch. I molded a nose separately so it would be removable. Painting masks is still an area I am working to improve but should get better with the proper tools.

tortConcept part 3: The next stage is to start blocking in some soft shadows as if working with an airbrush. This work is done quickly still, not as a finished painting, and at this point continuing work in grey, black and white. I introduce students to working with masks on layers (which is the equivalent of a frisket in airbrushing) and copying this mask to other layers. You can see this mask attached to my DARKS layers in the video.

I got hired to make the masks for St. Joseph’s University’s Phantom of the Opera. As they prepared for tech, they came back and asked me to create his latex makeup appliance also. I had very little time to make this, so I had to do it with slip cast liquid latex. Foam latex would have made a much better appliance, but I needed to pop these out in just a couple of days. In this video you see me sculpting the appliance, casting the negative mold in plaster, pouring the slip latex, removing the pull, trimming the flashing, mixing the color and painting it using the same Kryolan Aquacolor makeup the actor would apply to the rest of his face for a seamless blend between the appliance and his skin. Kryolan Aquacolor is great for latex because there is no change in pigmentation from latex to skin. Cream based makeups need to be applied to latex that has been sealed with castor oil so the pigment will blend. There’s no need to seal the latex when using Kryolan Aquacolor, which can also be diluted to work through an airbrush. If you’d like any custom made masks, makeup appliances, puppets, or just about anything else email me at jay@tribeoffools.org so we can talk about your project. The music I used is The Grudge by Tool from their album Lateralus. If you don’t have it yet (and I don’t know why you wouldn’t) you need to buy it here: www.amazon.com
