Sorry guys, I’ve been trying to get a lifecast taken of the front and back of my torso so I could record myself making a prosthetic belly from scratch, step-by-step, however something seems to always come up that interferes with my plans.
The first time I was actually at my session, but my feet were too tired and I had to sit after 2 hours into my lifecast session, cause as it turned out I found out that I have flat feet and wasn’t able to stand for long, good thing is I found some specialty socks for people with flat feet that helps lift the pressure off my feet, bad news is the first guy I paid to do my lifecast was kinda an asshole, so I choose not to reschedule a session with him. After that I continued looking for someone else to take my lifecast, but the only people I were finding were very far away or were charging way too much for what I can afford, so I just had to put it on the back burner.
Then on a film set I was working as a PA on in 2018-2019, I met this really nice couple who I became friends with, a makeup fx artist and his wife who was the wardrobe manager, I asked them if they could do a full front and back lifecast of my torso and they said yes, and we had agreed to have my session in mid-March of this year, however as you all know, the lockdown occurred and on top of that my friend was diagnosed with lymphoma (a type of cancer) earlier that month and had to start undergoing chemotherapy for several months.
So I probably will have to wait until next year to actually get my lifecast taken, but when I do I promise to make a complete coverage of me making one, video and lots of photos of the entire process. I would advise learning more about sculpting clay to make it look nice and realistic, cause while it is easy if you don’t do certain things it will come out a hot mess. Also, research about hyper realistic painting of human skin.
