Shedding my old skin for a monstrous night.

My favorite horror movie just dropped the trailer for the sequel and I am so fucking excited!!!!!!!!!! It comes out a few days before my birthday.

I actually got to speak with some of the VFX group who did the makeup effects on the first film at a convention recently. I had no idea they were going to be there so that was really cool. They said they weren't doing the sequel because they moved production up to Canada (but I know they filmed exterior shots for the sequel where they filmed the first movie, and after seeing that trailer, it makes sense). That means they get to go in blind with the rest of us.

FROM TEA AND SECOND BREAKFAST IN THE SHIRE TO FACING DOWN MORGOTH'S EVIL.

GIF INFO: Spotlight on what, personally, I find to think is the coolest-looking, most terrifying Orc adversary in the entire "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" (2001) motion picture, the unidentified, more than likely, female goblin warrior encountered in the mines of Moria. Creature makeup effects/design by Wēta Workshop.

PIC #2: In second place, my second favorite Orc creature design was the unidentified Orc Taskmaster, who ultimately oversaw the Isengard Orcs working in the caverns, breeding Goblin-men and forging weapons for the Great Enemy's army of Uruk-hai warriors.

This was from my third attempt at trying to make a Big Head (The Mask) latex mask. I got a little bit anxious about posting the mold with because I thought that people would probably be sick of seeing me trying to attempt the same project over and over again. I am proud on how the mold looks compared to the first two since I had better references from the new comic series from Dark Horse's I Pledge Allegiance To The Mask, and the original molds from the 1994 Jim Carrey movie. It seems that I'm way better at sculpting than I am with holding plaster. I did this mold sculpture back in 2020.
