Well hay dudes. Been a lurker for a while and I've had this picture tutorial thing sitting around in my photobucket for a few months now and I figure I'll post it.

While TDK's Two-Face is pretty awesome, I'm a softie at heart for Batman Forever's Two-Face. While yes, it is obnoxious and purple, I decided to change the color scheme but go with the bubbly nastyness. That being said, here's a tutorial! Kind of big pictures, not dial-up friendly and all that.



Step one! This just involves cotton and spirit gum. There's no real pattern to how it goes, just put it where you want it. After that, using skin toned latex (clear is fine too, skin toned just is nice in case you miss some spots) over the cotton, and blend it in with your skin. Be wary of your hairline, as if ANY of these adhesives get in there you're going to have a mess on your hands to deal with later. Its alright to leave gaps, the coloring later will fill all the holes in.


Next, start covering it! I recommend using a theatrical creme makeup. Regular liquid foundation just soaks into the cotton and doesn't coat it. You're going to want to, again, use the makeup to blend it into your skin. We're trying to make it look like PART of your skin, not just stuff ON your skin.


And there we go. The bad lighting in my bathroom made it kinda orange but I assure you its the same color as my skin.


Next, veining and shadowing. What I've got here is just part of a Graftobian theatrical kit, and comes with lots of weird reddish tones, which works well for this. I just took the medium purplish red color and dropped it into the deeper cracks in the skin.


This part is a little harder to see, and I didn't take more pictures of the 3 extra steps that happened in here. There's a dark brown and a bright red color I used, I used the dark brown for wounds that needed to be deeper and with the bright red I just used it to make some of the areas of skin look inflamed. And finally, with a skin tone lighter than the one I used to cover the whole mess, I added highlights, just to make the relief in the face a bit more contrasted. Again, crappy lighting kind of undoes the whole thing.


I noticed I had a big gap in my eyebrow, and I didn't like it. And I just covered it up, using the same steps listed above.


Problem solved.


And with a few more touchups and some proper hair ratting. We are complete!

I hope, if anything, it gave you a few ideas!
