The 'Chelsea Smile' Effect.

 

This is one of my favourite pieces that I have done.

 

I used 'Mouldlife: Sculpt Gel' to create the sliced effect on the face and shot I series of four 'stop motion like' photos where the cut makes its way across the face, above,  being the last photo in the series.

 

I used veinal blood (also from Mouldlife) to drip and smudge around the face. I used a larger amoun of blood in the cut to give it depth and make the whole look seem more realistic.

 

One of the great things about making gory cuts on a face is that, if at any point you make a mino mistake, you can always blend it and cover it with the blood, which can be a real life saver at times!
