Making Sakuko‘s face prosthetics #silenthillf

I’m making a Sakuko cosplay from the new Silent Hill F. And today I’ll show you how I made the silicone face prosthetics. The very first step was 3D printing the face and the jaw piece. Both parts were printed in resin and after curing I only had to send off the little nubs from the supports. The face prosthetics were 3D modeled directly onto a skin of my face. So I decided to create a 3D printed matrix mold. Normally when I make a mold I first apply the silicone and then build a shell out of epoxy resin. But with a matrix mold you do it the other way around. You start with the shell and then pour in the silicone. Printing your mold shells can save a lot of time. Well, if you’re good at 3D modeling, and it’s super satisfying because you avoid all the mess that comes with working with epoxy. For matrix molds, you need a low viscosity silicone to avoid air bubbles. Then came the moment of truth. Let’s see if the mold turned out good. Some platinum silicones can have curing inhibition issues when used directly on resin prints. So, I made sure to clean the prints extra thoroughly and cured them extra long. And it paid off. The silicone cured perfectly. Finally, both molds were done and they turned out so good. Next up, I mixed some silicone that added pigments to it. Then I pressed a 3D print of my head into the mold so the prosthetic would fit my face perfectly. And then it was time to demold. The silicone cast came out absolutely perfect. I also cast the jaw piece and it already looked so cool. I glued both parts together with a special silicone adhesive. And then I could finally start my favorite part, painting. Since nothing sticks to silicone except silicone, you have to use special silicone paints. There are pre-tinted silicones out there and full kits you can buy, but my favorite for years has been psychopaint, a clear silicone that you can pigment yourself to mix your own colors. Silicone painting is done in many layers because the paint is semi-transucent, but that’s exactly how you get the most realistic effects, especially for skin or fleshy textures. There were still the little tentacle thingies and the teeth missing, so I 3D printed them, painted them with my airbrush, and added texture using a stiff bristle brush. The very last step was attaching all the parts to the face, and that was so satisfying. I also added the teeth. All the extra elements were secured with silicone glue so they won’t fall off while handling or wearing the mask. And then it was finally done. Suku’s face turned out so cool and so creepy. Yes, I’ll be completely blind while wearing it. But hey, that’s part of the dedication when it comes to cosplaying specific characters. So stay tuned for the big reveal in the next
