Is there money to be made in small time special effects makeup? I imagine that even for the finalists it must be hard to get work, because she show keeps putting out seasons like crazy, and there can't be that many jobs as it is at the big movie studios.

If we're re-using this thread I'm just going to re-use my old postsSnowglobe of Doom posted:Ha, I just thought to myself earlier today "I really should check when the next season of Face Off starts" and lo and behold it's just a few days away.

I recall seeing on some cosplayer's Facebook page that their makeup was done by a former contestant, so I imagine there is some kind-of industry for those who move to LA and prove they're not total crap at what they do, but I imagine it's a pretty meager living even if they get picked to do something like work with Ve on a Hunger Games movie. So Season 10 eh gents? Standard order.

I guess new guy Robert Lindsay figured if he went to work for a Hollywood effects studio he'd start hearing a lot of Nazi jokes, so good on him for buying the rounded glasses and wearing all black and leaning into it

I thought the second place piece was the stronger, the one that came first had a great cowl but the face was really weak. I could see both of them being used on screen but I can't see the winning piece getting any lines or anything. I like the German guy, I hope he sticks around. No one else really stood out which I guess is a step up after Missy Munster last season.

I totally agree, I didn't see what they did in the winner last night. However, that worst look was a spectacular fail. I do appreciate they didn't set them up to struggle right off the bat by adding a "design the quarry for your bounty hunter" to the challenge on the 2nd day or something.

The judges on this show should also look at the costumes on a TV monitor because there's definitely a weird disparity at times where I'm laughing at these goofy rear end creatures they like. Also the guy going home first for just making a pointless square nose and chin was pretty funny. He's going to be kicking himself for that one for awhile.

The losing makeup looked like a blob of mercury. Robert, the German guy, definitely stands out the most so far because he's an actual Nazi mad scientist trope.

From the moment I saw Greg up on stage in that radioactive green shirt I knew he was getting the axe. I felt bad for him. Dude seemed nice, even if his makeup skills were weak. This season is already off to a much stronger start. They had a sensible first challenge, the contestants seemed more interesting, and overall it felt like a good return to business. Here's hoping it continues and people tune in. Oh and Sprockets guy is easily the best new contestant, although I'm also partial to the anxious handsome gay dude who couldn't work with Lurch. Dreads lady also gets points for almost kind-of making her dreads look clean and not disgusting.

Quite a few of the previous guys have their own makeup effects schools and courses and travel all over the world to teach and lecture. Especially Tate comes to mind in that respect. And Eric Fox seems to be doing OK as well, seeing as he and his wife made the sharks for Sharknado 3 for example.

I knew that Robert and Yvonne were in deep trouble when Yvonne complained that part of the design "looked a little goofy." THAT'S THE POINT OF THE CHALLENGE, YVONNE.

Which she then proceeded to try and fix by sticking nipples on everything. She does seem like the kind-of person who is really uncomfortable intentionally looking foolish.

I'm surprised white lady with dreads got eliminated. "Board Game Man" was atrocious starting from the complete lack of concept. The crayon guy was really badly painted but they could have gotten away with a slightly better, textural paint job.

Yellow Crayon Guy was boring and his neck was ripping apart. Demented wins over boring.

It was probably the neck that did it. I remember one year some lady told the judges she ran out of time when putting a glove piece on and they axed her that night. Face Off is super-unforgiving to that sort-of amateurism.

Don't forget that Jennifer's bio boiled down to "member of the 501st and fan of Bioware". She was fortunate the first week category was Alien Bounty Hunter, but once it got out of her comfort zone, she was done for.

It was the neck because it looked like a wild animal ripped his throat open. Otherwise, crayons are textural, so they could have pitched it like that.

It doesn't seem like they had a ton of options for the casting this season, lotta rookies like last season. Though so far I have been having more fun watching this one so far than I did with 8. The intro is a bit weird to me though, they show a handful of makeups from the current season, but then quickly start showing the greatest hits like the cellist and cubist makeups... I'm a bit worried they got the episodes into editing and realized they didn't have very many showstoppers? I am both excited for and dreading the Warcraft episode, its gonna be a total cringe-fest during the introduction. I'm glad the crayon was in the bottom, the look was terrible and somewhat vague. You could have told me it was a crayon, a pencil, mustard... Their application totally failed them, I'm sure they could have done something cooler crayons never look like that except when they're brand new out of the box. Mine always knocked around with each other and picked up flecks of color and got disfigured like so.  Would have gone a long way to break up the nasty solid yellow they slapped on it. Edit: Just to avoid double posting here, I knew they were in trouble the second they went with the big plastic eyes... Has that ever worked on this show, its pretty much universally terrible. Some really good makeups this week but I gotta say the guest judge/linguist guy looks like he'd give you a dead fish handshake if you met him.

This challenge was cool and produced a majority of good makeups. It seems like a runaway though, Anna and Mel have been in the top looks all three times and Anna has won twice (tonight too, but Yvonne got the credit.) Giant plastic eyes always look like its from a mask but the neon colours were worse. I'm not a fan of Robert's Mega Man roster either.

That bottom alien look was... Wow. When Mr. Westmore basically told them to start over in the walkthrough & they didn't do much, they were doomed. Also, Johnny should probably not get too comfortable, as often as his looks are ending up in the bottom.

The fact that Robert Lindsay is still competing after the flat out atrocities that were Board Game Man and Octo Man blows my goddamn mind. He put a beak on a character who's language couldn't even form those sounds. It's like he was begging to be eliminated.

Not gonna lie, I hate the GAUNTLET or whatever the hell the face appliances only challenges are. Actually I probably hate both of them because I can't remember what the Gauntlet challenge was but I feel like it was underwhelming last time.

Old man is probably the best, the deliberate african american woman make up could be 2nd best but that wig is terrible. Forgot about the plain as hell one that Rob Seal made but that's fine if not boring. Is Mel the one that's been winning all the make ups so far? How is Mel only safe and doesn't even get a look over? It's the only interesting make up on the stage even if its good or bad. Wanted to hear the judges reactions KungFu Grip fucked around with this message at 03:45 on Feb 4, 2016 |

I was amazed that Njoroge could look at his work and think it was good, it was one of the worst things i have seen on the show.. Overall it was a very rough week, but i am happy that Robert made a bit of a comeback.

Focus challenges are hilarious because they get so panicked about painting and not showing edges that it makes it worse.

Ha ha haaaa what were they thinking, there was no way they could push that topic this early in the season and not have a total trainwreck on their hands. At least wait until you've eliminated a bunch more of the less skilled contestants and the rest have gotten into the rhythm of the sculpt/mold/apply cycle under studio pressures.Mons Hubris posted:Sunburned rapist cowboy mechanic may be my favorite makeup ever on this show. It may have been a terrible failed attempt at realistic human makeup but it was an amazing Weekend at Bernie's cosplay makeup.
