[leagatti]

TOOOO MUCH WORK ! :/ ... I PREFER BORN LIKE HER U.U

[leagatti]

LUV YOU <3

[Valkonnen]

Gay and Canadian...Wow!!!

[ImNotCrazy44]

hey, im not sure if u know this, but the makeup dried lighter on the latex because cream makeup is not made to be used on latex. it is water based. to get the colors to look right, you need to use rubber mask grease, which is castor oil based. if you want something even more professional makeup , you can also use pax paint (makeup made with a blend of pros-aid and pigments) or alcohol activated makeup. rubber mask grease is by far the cheapest of those though, but is by no means a bad product.

[champanekisses]

could blue airbrush makeup work as well? would that be better?

[bonybfx]

@champanekisses totally. I really cheaped out on the blue paint so it ruined it for me. oh well.

[bunnies746]

That was pretty kool and i laughed a couple times too! Awesome Job!!

[MrElem7]

u r gay

[bonybfx]

@MrElem7 thanks captain obvious

[wjp1117]

Hey a terrific and light weight body paint that I use all the time for my She-Hulk is wolfe brothers. it's a water base make-up that only takes a tiny bit of water to apply and dries quickly and goes on very vibrant

[bonybfx]

@wjp1117 Cool! I'll have to look into that. Sounds good. And since it's water based it would probably come off fairly easy too. Thanks for the tip!

[TheTwinznation]

awesome. i kinda wanna be mystique for halloween this year when i keep working out. thanks for the vid! <3

[bonybfx]

@TheTwinznation You're welcome! I'd love to see your costume

[TheTwinznation]

@TheTwinznation haha i'll post it IF i get get into enough shape to pull it off but i'll definitely use your vid for the face makeup

[xSingx13]

u should do a full body one if you have time because this is amazing ! :D but try with a female so it looks more like mystique but that is AMAZING

[bonybfx]

@xSingx13 this was originally supposed to be on a girl and I was going to do a short film too..but those plans fell through. Doing this to myself was plan B

[xSingx13]

@bonybfx ahh okay :) well amazing job though well done :) (y)

[Yumi0theburningflame]

1 word: FANTASTIC!!

[bonybfx]

@Yumi0theburningflame really wishing that I had just spent the money and bought decent blue paint

[wrllovemen]

do the contacts hurt

[bonybfx]

@wrllovemen no, not really. They're not very comfortable because they're really cheap. There's this small "company" that sells them for cheap ($20) so they're not very good quality. You can feel the edges when you blink and it sort of feels like you have something in your eye all the time (LOL, well, you DO)... if you spent more money and bought a good quality pair for $80 or more then they'd be closer to real contacts and much more comfortable

[cosuplaykat]

that is absolutely amazeing! do you think the same method would work for the rest of her 'abraisons'?

[bonybfx]

@cosuplaykat It could totally work, however, it might not be very movable. I think what would work best for that would be a high quality foam latex. It has a lot more give and is easier to move in.... Not that I've ever used it before, but I've done lot's of research and watched tons of SFX bonus features on movies. LOL

[InfernoPyro01]

i like how you did this but i think when i do it ill put a twist on it and instead of mystigue im gonna do a male reptilian styl man and ill also use a bald cap and go with black,orange, and green make-up and sugestions?

[bonybfx]

@InfernoPyro01 that sounds pretty cool! Hmmm, I'd suggest maybe making the bald cap part first, like I did in my freddy tutorial. That might make it easier to get the detail you'll want. Other than that, the possibilities are pretty much endless! I'd love to see what you end up doing. You should make a video and post it as a response to this :)

[InfernoPyro01]

@bonybfx ya was thinking that was accualy gonna do what u did first but apply it to a mold of my head and continue by adding detail and making a full head peice possible among other things to it do u have any experiance in head molds?

[bonybfx]

@InfernoPyro01 no, I've never done that before. I'd love to though!

[InfernoPyro01]

@bonybfx ahh ok well if you do post a vid

[InfernoPyro01]

@bonybfx well try to im accualy talking to another guy on youtube that does some realy cool prostetics and seein if hed do a video on how to correctly make it and what products to use so hopefully he will

[bonybfx]

@InfernoPyro01 that's a good idea. I'm no professional so I wouldn't know where to begin really. lol I'd have to do some research.

[InfernoPyro01]

@bonybfx yep all about the research but ya care to share some of your research and any sites you have?

[dj02tc5]

what do u use ing to glue in the prosthetic on ure face is it spirit gum or ??

[bonybfx]

@dj02tc5 It's called pro-adhesive. I did a video on it :) it's pretty awesome stuff. definitely recommend it for putting on prosthetics instead of using spirit gum.

[dakotaviggiano]

tip:

when it comes to face paints you gotta think creative. if the prothetic is white, then put a basecoat of white on your skin too so it's all the same shade when you apply. or mix the black with the blue to get a darker shade to compensate for the prosthetic coverage. OR

when you're making the prosthetic you could add a drop or two of blue food dye to tint it so you dont have to apply so many layers.

[bonybfx]

@dakotaviggiano those are all good tips! I agree. In this case though..it really was the cheap cream make up I used. It's not meant for painting latex. It coated my skin fine but on the latex it was like trying to mix water and oil. My own mistake.

[hotitachi]

dude ur amazing!!!

[bonybfx]

@hotitachi :) thanks!

[hotitachi]

@bonybfx

how do you do it... where did you learn, omg this is soo cool!!

i really am interested in special effects make up could you tell me like stuff... idk stuff thats helpful

[bonybfx]

@hotitachi well one of my next videos will be my suggestion on what is required for a basic sfx make up kit for beginners. I am a beginner too. I didn't get any training or schooling. I'm teaching myself. That's actually the purpose of this channel. I thought, if I'm going to really focus on this, I might at well make a youtube channel out of it....since I love youtube and video editing. :) You are inspiring me to get off my ass and make a video now.

[hotitachi]

@bonybfx omg! yay!!!

<3

thats really cool

well good luck

and if i think of any ideas for you i shall let you know

[RolyUnGashaa]

Looks awesome <3 but also looks like it took ages to do

[bonybfx]

@RolyUnGashaa Hahaha, it did. If I knew that paint sucked so much I wouldn't have even used it to begin with. Oh well...the point of all this is to learn :)

[CreepyUnicorn]

That's awesome, Blair!!!

You should set up a paypal account to get donations for supplies.

[bonybfx]

@CreepyUnicorn hahahah, donations. LOL. I won't have that problem now with the new job..I have twice the money to play with now so it's all good. I am eventually going to open up a BonyBFX store online too so I can sell some stuff. That will, in time, also help me buy supplies and grow my name/business.

[fumsmusings]

The prosthetics worked out really well.

[bonybfx]

@fumsmusings yeah! I was really happy with it. If only I had better blue paint and a girl with longer hair to put it on! LOL hahaha.
