i liked your expression: "it has no choice but to look real" - it's the years of experience for us artists to pin down the sum of imperfections that create perfection in the end :)

It's acrylic paint mixed with a silicone base (see the lesson for more info.) - David

Thanx a lot - i'm so happy you made this available... best

[ungerdass]

I working with terror and realistic sculptures too. I admire your work. I still work in skin color; is not easy, but worth it. Greetings from a colleague.

that as so amazing, and it really looks like a real life figure great!

Hey sickphyschotic, Instructor Jamie S. Grove says, "The head is cast in 1068 tin silicone by Silpak (wwwDOTsilpakDOTcom). In all honesty, tin silicone is easier but it does leech oil after a period of time which will make the paint come off and be a big slimy mess. The best silicone to use for a mask or a prop you want to get some mileage with and less problems in the future would be platinum silicone. Though more difficult and more expensive, the quality is much better."

[sickphyschotic]

Thanks a lot. You guys are always really helpful! I think I'm gonna give that silicone a try. I'm just using it to make a little prop head for myself.

No, certainly not lifecast. Sculpted by Gary Tunnicliffe's Two Hours in the Dark. The giveaway is the mouth. You can't do a life-cast of an open mouth. - David

[StanWinstonSchool]

No, silicone bonds to silicone. It doesn't create a "layer" anymore than acrylic paint on latex creates a "layer." - David

[lindayagershumate]

After you prep your baby paint a clear layer of silicone paint,  cure each layer of silicone paints as you add them, do not add colors together let each one dry. paint in layer's.

i like the epiglotis stuff inside the throat... they weren't lifecast i imagine, maybe they were

[kelseysreborns]

Do you ever do any darker tones?

Thanks for this tutorial . I paint reborns and am trying to shift to silicone. I also need to learn more about Caucasian tones
I know most people say look at your hands etc lol but if we aren't the skin tone that we are trying to aquire sometimes it's difficult to see .

[repmighty]

What kind of paint did you use? is it a special silicone paint or just regular watered down paint for airbrushing? cool vid btw!

[sickphyschotic]

Hey, I am watching this tutorial through your site, and it has been incredibly helpful. What type of silicone is the head cast in? If I remember correctly, Jamie says it is a tin cure silicone but not which type. Would the type of silicone used in this head work for masks as well? Thanks a lot.

[MrInvalidArgument]

I want one head to put in my living room!

[berries]

Amazing work, but i am missing some small wrinkles on the bridge of the nose. Its looks very sleek. Just my opinion ^^

[Maloneydd]

Where can you find / buy the full videos. Also how much is it to go here?

[joeyvader]

It would be silicone thinned with toluene, and silicone pigmnets added...

[shauenadodah]

So can you tint silicone with Genesis r does it have to be silc pig psycho paints?
