Career: Special Effects Makeup ArtistThe job I decided to research was that of a special effects makeup artist, mainly focused on special effects for film. Special effects are used to make actors look like monsters, make them appear older, or a variety of other things. They use make up and prosthetics to achieve this. Although there are technically no educations requirements to become a special effects artist, good skills and a strong portfolio are necessary. There are a few programs offered by film and arts schools. Schools that offer programs in special effects include the Cinema Makeup School or Vancouver Film School. Overall, this career is a very interesting one because of the results SFX artists create and it definitely looks like it takes a lot of skill. Even if I haven't personally tried SFX makeup, I can appreciate the realism and occasional gruesomeness they can create in films and in other things.

I’ve completed the third base painting and I’m gonna mount it on the wall likely tomorrow. Then the real work begins, which I’ll probably spread out over a few days of accumulation and putting everything together.
I've finished the first two paintings for this project, the two smaller ones and I plan to finish the last one today. I'm planning on using neon orange, neon pink, and maybe some red to make it a bit darker. Once I do that I am going to mount the paintings to start assembling the piece.
