LEADING THE FINE ART OF MAKE-UP INTO THE NEXT MILLENNIUM™

F/X Construction Processes


My name is Joe Ricketson, I attended the February, 2000 class at the Joe Blasco Makeup Center East, located in Orlando, Fl. Prior to that I was teaching high school. I attended both the professional and advanced prosthetics courses. Since graduating I have worked on a few student films at Florida State University, Universal Studios Florida, and am currently a freelance artist working in the Orlando area.
To create a simulation of a open tibia fracture I began with a willing model

Picture #1 is the leg intended for use I began preparing the leg by cleaning the area with 70% alcohol. After the alcohol dries matte adhesive is applied to the area intended to be covered by the appliance. A bone fragment that can be obtained at a butcher shop or pet store is filed and shaped using a dremel tool. Once the bone is the shape desired it is applied into the leg with matte adhesive, as in Picture #2.

Next the skin and tissue surrounding the area was constructed using Joe Blasco Plastiderma wax for skin. At this point the wax was colored with a mixture of Joe Blasco base in Olive Beige 1 and Golden Tan 1. Knox UN-flavored gelatin was used for the tissue under and on the bone. This is shown in Picture #3. Picture #4 shows the appliance construction with color. Joe Blasco creative colors were used to add depth into the wound as well as tinting and inflammation around the area. Black was used inside the edges of the constructed skin and into the deep areas of the gelatin to create depth, this will be more evident later in the finished product . Blood color was used on the edges of the wax skin and the gelatin tissue. Finally, Maroon was added to create a slight Inflammation and trauma to the surrounding skin.

Picture #5 and picture #6 show the final stages of the construction. Blood was made using Karo syrup mixed together with red and blue food coloring, this was then added to the affected and surrounding area giving the impression of a compound open tibia fracture.
