Materials used:

Gelatine

Liquid Latex

Alcohol activated paints

99% alcohol

Scab blood

Minimal fx skills needed, only took around 30 minutes, start to finish. Tips:

• Do the first coat of gelatine, then use a second coat to raise certain parts.
• Use yellows, greens and blues for the 'infected look' (I was originally going to call it the Dead Mermaid, but thought it looked more infected than dead)
• Use the yellows and greens in a light wash around the infected areas, and up the arm (to make it more realistic looking)
• If you're going for more realist look, I wouldn't use the blood as an infection wouldn't necessarily have blood. You could use something which would symbolise puss instead (as gross at that sounds)

Zombie Hand SFX Makeup

Materials used:

Red wool

Red thread

Liquid latex

Alcohol activated paints

99% alcohol

Scab blood

Fake blood

Minimal fx skills needed, only took around 25 minutes, start to finish. Tips:

• The deepest parts should always be the darkest and the highest parts should be the lightest.
• Scatter the blood and paint (mostly browns, purples and greens) around the wound, as well as on the wound.
• Pick an area for the wound to focus on (for example, I chose the right, lower part of my hand).
• Have the wool going mostly in one direction and the thread randomly.
• Use a sponge with holes pick outed of it to create more of a natural effect when painting.
