A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into all the work we did for Silo Season 3 but I’m so excited to share some of the cool stuff I got to work on as part of the hardcore @redgirlfx team last year.
There were 3 different stages of burns created for @timrobbinshere but my personal favourite to work on were the fresh burns. I did all of the silicone fabrication and pre painting of these pieces which was a pretty massive job…I think it was around 90 pieces in 7-8 days (including a lot of continuity work for the different shoot days). Very grateful to @suzbat for trusting me so much with this look.
I also sculpted a few additional pieces for this makeup and jumped into some of the silicone running too.
It was a very tight turn around but the whole team absolutely smashed it!
Lots more fun pics to come soon.

Last year on House of the Dragon S3 I had the hilarious opportunity to become one of the many beautifully created bodies littering the battlefield.

It’s an odd exercise to punch your own head and if I had a little more time I certainly would have added a lot more greys 😅

Hair punching some beautifully delicate pieces for Alby in Half Man during a powercut (apparently nothing stops me hitting a deadline 🤪). Always so lovely to be part of the wonderful @redgirlfx team.

(And that’s dirty paint water, not irn-bru)

Had an absolute fucking blast working on House of the Dragon season 3 last year. Got to meet and work with so many wonderfully talented artists and work on some super fun stuff. Thank you so much @alisontisson for getting me onboard and thank you to @waldomason for having me on the team and not throwing me over board! 🤪

More fun stuff to follow (at some point).

“Some motherf*****s are always tryin to ice skate uphill”

Wesley Snipes in Blade (1998). I still remember watching this for the first time when I was a kid and thinking it was the epitome of cool (which is still true).
