Effective prosthetics for your YouTube videos

Step 10 Find a willing victim......

Here's the red piece with a couple of horns, stuck on and photographed for a 'Horny Devil' shoot.
Obviously this needed a load of body paint too but you get the idea.
There are lots of other shots from this shoot that can't be posted here. However, I am over on Deviantart.com under the same username if you want to take a look.

Have fun and be safe.

Very awesome instructable, I never thought about using wax paper to build on! This makes alot of furture projects so much easier!
Also, you might want to put up a reminder that if you plan to attach the pieces to parts of the body that has hair, you'll want to use spirit gum to attach, not latex.
It hurts.
So much.
So nice to see a make-up instructable that's not about zombies!
Keep it up!

 marshon,

I entered your username in the search box at deviantart.com and found nothing of yours; could you tell me what I did wrong, or provide a direct link?

Also, I'm wondering about hear/sweat/comfort; would this make, say, a night at a Halloween party unbearable

Thanx

The latex prosthetics will last a very long time, we have some that are well over 2 years old and still in good condition. The problem with using one for an all night halloween party is the adhesive you use. Latex as a glue is easier to get off when you've finished but is liable to lifting if there is a lot of sweat.
The traditional Spirit Gum will resist lifting but is much more difficult to remove.
Pros-Aid is a much stronger bond once it is stuck, and can easily last out a party but needs a remover to get it off.

As for comfort, all the model I have used have never complained about wearing these latex creations, they are very soft and pliable. There have been a few moans when it comes to removal. No worse than removing a sticking plaster though.

Fantastic! Love your work. Your instructable is as good as your work, excellent detail and illustration. Dying to try this, do you do this professionally?
Cheers,
Phil

Thanks for the comments. i was doing this work on a semi-professional basis until January of this year when I was made redundant. Unfortunately during a downturn this type of promo work is the first to get cut.
