This first video in our Prosthetic Transfer series is on basic sculpting. We sculpt bullet holes, a cut and a scar and then prepare the sculptures for molding. Simplicity in sculpting is stressed in this video to help beginning Makeup Effects Artists grasp the concept of sculpting. We us minimal sculpting tools and teach the basics of skin texturing. The next video will explain how to make a plaster cast of your sculpture and latex application. More advanced videos will follow.
Our second video, "Intro to Prosthetic Transfers - Latex Transfers #2" will help you created a plaster mold of your sculptures and basic latex application. So please watch the next video in our Prosthetic Transfers Series to continue learning the basics of Makeup Effects.
Clay Info:
The clay I am using for sculpting is, Chavant NSP clay:

The light colored clay (Van Aken Clay) I used for the walls around the sculptures I bought from Hobby Lobby. It was inexpensive. You can use any oil based clay that is sulfur free for creating walls around your sculptures for casting. :)

The next video will be uploaded hopefully Monday, January 26th, 2015. It will be a continuation of our Prosthetic Transfer Series and will explain Basic Latex Prosthetic Wound Creation and Application. This series is for those starting out in makeup effects and will give a basic foundation for liquid latex makeup effects.

Which 'hardness' do you recommend. I saw that NSP clay has a few different levels.

@EggHeadFX 4 жыл бұрын

I would recommend soft to med. Hard NSP clay is really difficult to work with once it is room temp. I often use medium for smaller sculpts, it keeps detail really well when handling and if I am doing a larger prosthetic I like Soft NSP so I can move it around quick and it also gives excellent details. Med. is a great all around clay. You could get a little of both to see what you like.

when sculpting can you use any other thinners for oil based paints or do you just have to strictly use naphtha?

@EggHeadFX 7 жыл бұрын

Naphtha is what most effects artists use. Lighter fluid is also used, which is made with naphtha. You can use 99% Isopropyl alcohol. I don't know of any other you can use. These are very toxic chemicals so be carful.

Can you use the same clay you were using instead of the white clay?

Becky Hernandez absolutely you can.

@beckyhernandez4792 4 жыл бұрын

Question? What product do you use for the mold. I’ve used so many and nothing I like.

@jensenthom 4 жыл бұрын

Plaster or dental stone is the standard in the effects industry. Not plaster of Paris because that is garbage. You can make the same mold out of a tin cure or a platinum silicone.

Thom Jensen thanks again. I’m gonna try perfect plaster and see how that works.

We can pour it with silicone?

@EggHeadFX 8 ай бұрын

It’s best to use plaster because its poores. It will help the latex dry. Silicone doesn’t allow air in to let the deeper latex cure.

CAN YOU USE NON DRYING CLAY TO MAKE YOUR SCAR

@jensenthom 5 жыл бұрын

Andrew Murphy Since your question is kind of broad, I’m going to answer it in a couple ways. First, I use non-drying clay for all of the sculpting. Second, in case you’re asking if non-drying clay can be used as a prosthetic appliance, the answer is no. You only use clay to make the prosthetic piece then you have to make a mold of the clay sculpt to make the makeup appliance for the body or face. I hope one of those answered your question. Thanks
