Special Effects (Cut)

I am currently learning on how to create a small cut, this is quite a challenge for me as i am use to doing large cuts like stab wounds. I have done three designs which all needs improvement to it, to make it look more realistic. To crete the cuts i have used the make up kit shown before, wax and blood. I am still trying to create new ways on making this cut, such as finding thinner paint brushes to paint within the wound, using latex and cutting it making it look like skin, then underneath i would be adding cotton wool or wax to add depth into the cut. This is all experiments i will try in the future before we start filming the scene within the cargo container.

Cut 1

Above are images of the first cut i created using wax and red paint, the wax is scattered and not in a complete straight line as some small cuts i get are jigged as in its cut, skin, cut, skin.

Cut 2 

Above are images of the second cut i created, it is in the same format/ technique as cut 1, but this time i have added black, it adds depth into the cut, and also makes the skin look more dead. Items used for this cut was wax, red and black paint.

Cut 3

Above are images of the third cut i created, this time i decided to not do the jigged pattern with the wax so it is able to hold the blood within its structure. This is a more gruesome cut, which is more of a deep flesh wound. To create this cut i used wax, blood, red and black paint.
