Final Project
Since I love special effects makeup, specifically creating zombies, I knew right away I wanted to create a zombie mask for my final project.

I began the sculpt by focusing on the orbital area. Sculpt made using non-sulfurated plasticine clay

The main feature I wanted to add to the face was a scar across the eye.
![Light Wrinkles](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/46e8c0_b4503adb3e4041bb81a8f140ef3c0b5c~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_866,h_1476,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/46e8c0_b4503adb3e4041bb81a8f140ef3c0b5c~mv2.png)
These light wrinkles gave some texture to the forehead, but they were not very realistic.

These wrinkles were more 3-dimensional, but they made the piece too distracting and took away from the scar.
![Dislocated Jaw](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/46e8c0_4548632598ef4792b9234b3cd7ba3f2b~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_882,h_1392,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/46e8c0_4548632598ef4792b9234b3cd7ba3f2b~mv2.png)
I thought I wanted to make a dislocated jaw, but it was not coming out the way I wanted it to.
![Smoothed Face](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/46e8c0_0d74c8793f1e4910857bd10116b1aea1~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_882,h_1414,al_c,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/46e8c0_0d74c8793f1e4910857bd10116b1aea1~mv2.png)
I smoothed out the jaw, but kept some pronounced jaw bone. I also added some light wrinkling to the forehead again.

I added some texture to the inside of the scar to add to the depth of it.

There weren't any boxes big enough for my sculpt so I made my own mold out of duct tape, boxing wax, and extra pieces of cardboard.

I decided to make the final piece out of silicon to get a flesh-like texture. I probably should have made separate eye and jaw pieces. I wish I had used a material that would pick up more detail in the scar and have less bubbles. If I had colored the silicone to match my skin, it would have been easier to color as part of a makeup.
