Count Olaf in Belfast Ireland

[fantomdenis]

Hi,

I'm a makeup artist and costume designer based in Belfast Ireland and i was helping some friends set up a new makeup school and for a PR day to help promote the school i did Count Olaf for them to show prospective students what they can learn.

Here's a pic or two for anyone whos interested.

Sorry, denis. It's just my twisted sense of humor.

You are a talented makeup artist.

[Al Rightythen]

WOW! That´s really cool!

[lammy]

It's impressive-

Are you in school for that?

[fantomdenis]

I never went to school for it, im self taught and now do SFX and Costumes for a living.

Awsomeness! HOw did you do it?

As there is no pattern for the suit i simply took about 3-4 photos from the movie to give me an idea of how the suit looked overall and the parts i couldnt see, i just worked out in my head what i had to do to fill in the blanks and created a pattern from there.

The makeup was done by taking a lifecast of myself then scultping and creating the prosthetic appliance for the brow and nose. The rest was baldcap hair and makeup. Do all that and once your done, voala! you get Count Olaf.

I'm thinking about selling the one in the photos or maybe making more for people who might be interested.

Great Job!
you'll get everyone all fixed up for Halloween,
I was even thinking it would be great to have a lemony snicket
Halloween party, sooo fun and even include characters that are in the
other books that haven't been seen yet.
Have you read the other books??

[fantomdenis]

No i havnt read the books yet,

I dont get much time to read these days thus missing out on the likes of Harry Potter & Lemoney Snicket. I have started listening to the HP Audio books while i work so im getting there.

I did recently make the time to read the Looking Glass Wars by Frank Bedour, Just one thing to say about that book GET IT AND READ IT NOW!!!

Its truely amazing and full of characters the just jump out of the page and into your imagination.

A LS halloween party would be great fun yes.
