This project was one of the most educational so far in my opinion when it comes to the technical side. I have learnt a lot about the application of prosthetic pieces and the importance of lack of contamination as it may damage the product, i.e. silicone. By this I mean that it is essential to wear a different pair of gloves whenever using a different type of product. I feel like I have grown as not only a student, but as an artist also because of the amount of techniques we have learnt and the amount of obstacles I had to face. For instance, the fact I could not use a nose piece for my human hybrid because it was not flat, meant I had to put in extra work, and concentrate on other areas of the body also. This meant extra work, however also more practise and experience with silicone and the appropriate measurements, which I have had a problem with. In result it helped me to understand the process better. It also made me feel a lot more confident about the whole process of making a silicone mould in general. I do feel like I should have spent more time practising hair application, as the final outcome is not what I was going for. The hair on my character was too thick and I feel like I should have placed more hair on the rest of my characters body in order for him to seem realistic. I have also used a lot of products during the application process and that gave me even more experience as it was a time of trial and error and I feel like it encouraged me to experiment with the products/application even more, which just made it even more enjoyable.
