This is some truly great make up; though it still doesn't convince me that Trick or Treat is a good idea... bah, humbug...

I am a professional digital artist who has been teaching myself make up effects in my spare time. This was my first full face prosthetic. Thank you to all who enjoyed both the make up and my daughters performance. We both really had fun with it.

Count me in. This was a great job. Having reflections on my ex wife for a few minutes here.  I mean, aside from the chin, dat's her! I'm kidding. And the kid is really into it.  She seems like a natural. Getting into the part and everything. Then when she speaks normally, well, hell...I'm really confused by what I'm seeing and what's reality. It's like I want to write a psychological study on this or something. Or maybe I'll start drinking heavily. “All kinds of people looking uncomfortable” is a huge understatement. Count me in.
