I Create Cosplay With A Gory Twist

I’ve been in love with horror for as long as I can remember, movies, games, manga, anime… no matter the type of media I love it ALL. I’d started watching a TV show – Hannibal and it had some of the most gruesome and beautiful scenes I’d ever seen, upon watching one scene where a couple was skinned, blood eagle style, and were formed into grotesque “angels” I thought to myself, “I need to know how to do THAT” and so began my journey into SFX makeup. I bought a bottle of liquid latex, grabbed some old lipsticks and a box of tissues and I have been covered in the stuff ever since!

I’d always really liked the idea of Cosplay but finding special effects makeup allowed me to explore this idea with a gory twist! I spend anywhere up to 12 hours creating makeup looks, not including the prep work, taking creepy photos for Instagram, and video for Youtube! I can usually be found in my workspace, up to my eyeballs in latex, gelatin, and fake blood!

I’m hoping to pursue a career as an SFX makeup artist but I’m still a relative beginner, I’m having a lot of fun learning and I’d encourage anyone to give it a try!
