The injuries and wounds finals were here, and having thought about it and after gathering stock images, I had a good idea as to what I was going to do. It would've gone smoothly too, only having seen what everyone else had done in the morning, I decided to change it up a bit and go a bit more dramatic. Melissa applied her make-up first. I'd been informed yesterday that it would be rather extravagant, and involve dog bones being attached to me. The look she cre...

Today was all about the different degrees of burns. There were a couple of burn demos to get us started, a latex application down Mon's arm, and we were introduced to a gelatine burn on Cris' face. Both were totally convincing. Then it was our turn. I started my application first today, and gave Ami some extreme sunburn, much like I had a few years ago after 'Hellfest'. She's apparently never had sunburn before, so has no idea what it feels like. Lucky cow! I ...

Second day of injury week kicked off with a couple of demonstrations on me. For the past few weeks I've ended up being a model, and no doubt for next week's beard-laying, I'll be a model once again.

I've used a similar material...

Had a rough night's sleep last night, so wasn't feeling fantastic today, and I can't use beer as an excuse. Just run down I think. Anyway, school would run until 5:30 every night this week to catch up on yesterday's Colombus day-off malarkey. At least this week would be much more fun though… Injuries, wounds, tattoos and junkie-making! The tutor for this week will be Carlton, a previous student of CMS who's worked on a whole bunch of things*. There was a br...

For some reason, I still woke up early-ish, even though it's Colombus Day today and most people have the day off. It doesn't matter though, as I've managed to download Fifa 12 for the iPhone, so that will keep me occupied in any spare time. I also downloaded GTA: Vice City for the Macbook, so I have my options. I'd also rented out 'Thor' last night, so watch that again. I had a gig to attend this evening, so it was wise to get my rest now as I'd probably be ba...
