THE TERRIFYINGLY IMPRESSIVE MAKEUP-PROSTHETICS-CREATURE FX WIZARDRY OF WETA WORKSHOP.

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1280x1600 -- Spotlight on a behind-the-scenes closeup of New Zealand actor (and Peter Jackson regular) Jed Brophy, in his exquisitely revolting role as the Isengard orc Snaga, from "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" (2002), co-written & directed by Peter Jackson. New Line Cinema.

Makeup/creature FX by Weta Workshop, with voicework being provided by Andy Serkis, who went uncredited for the role.

first makeup test for a larp character - an orc bard!

water based yellow as the base, cream olive green for cheeks and forehead, cream blue green for jaws and contour. another layer of dappled water based yellow for highlights. prosaid for the latex. then just regular makeup stuff.

face beat looks kinda silly when it's on an orc. will have to figure out how to blend the fantasy orc style with a high fashion bard style. this characters final form will be a harlequin so I'll need to play around with that!
