Bullet holes

Before ever trying out bullet holes; my class watched a special fx film on how to make them hollywood style.
Damn its a lot of work, and time.
The ones the guy made was from a type of plaster.
It took almost a day to make just for an entry and exit wound...where in class with latex or mostly wax can take 30 minutes.

First by making a mold out of plaster (long process) let that sit for a while.
Then by using wax make the bullet wound then let that sit over night.
Whole thing takes forever and hard to explain because of so many products. You would have to watch the film to get a better understanding.

Anyways we make the wounds by using wax, latex is a little harder to use, and mold the wound.
Depending on the wax, gylercin is used to smooth it out.
An entry wound is not as bloody, and a little bruised around the edges, an exit wound is messy, busted out, and bloody.

After applying the wax, becareful it can be moved very easily, apply the cream colors to the wound and around to make it seem real. Then add the blood. Splatter the blood around the wound and fill it with coagulated blood.
Done.
Also take into consideration if you're working on a movie set, you have match the wound with the type of gun being used.

I was a model for bullet wound day, so this is my teacher artwork on myself.
Getting it off was horrible I pretty much took the bus home like this, then right into the shower.
