Process and Development

The Making Of My Prosthetic Devil

This was one of my most challenging projects where I used various new techniques and machines I had not used before. I made a full head prosthetic using the injection casting process. I also used a compressor to get all the air bubbles out of the silicone before injecting it into the mould. In this project I wanted to show my take on what the devil should look like. After a lot of research I found that there wasn't just one description but many. When you are scared, sometimes your mind can play tricks on you, or you only remember the one main feature that stands out. So in my design you have a variety of different features the devil is said to have such as, the dragon, snake and Faust business man with 2 horns. You can see this in the shadow in my photograph of my devil prosthetic.

Life Casting

Mterials; Alginate, plaster, scrim, gel, vasaline, bowls, water, plaster sander and black bin bags.

Making a hollow fibreglass Head bust for prosthetic injection mould

Materials; beeswax, clay, prorelease, resin, fibreglass + fibreglass tisue and if you want fibrglass pigmant.

Sculpting

Materials; A lot of clay! and callipors to help get this even and lighter fluid to smooth out when finishing the sculpt.

Opening the mould.

Material; woodchips and a mallet.

Fibreglass Mould of the scuplt.

Materials; clay to wall up, prolease, resin, fibre glass + fibreglass tissue, along with a electric saw to clean the edges of the mould at the end. this also helps find the opening crack of the mould.

Final Touches
