2.)  A silicone baby from "Skagerrak". Painted with silicone paint and the red colors
from the Skin Illustrator FX palette.  I use your Skin Illustrator colors for everything I do - everything!  Since I've found them, I don't understand how I could ever work without them. 

3.)  A vacuum formed stunt double mask of actor Gérald Depardieu from "I Am Dina". The base color is plain spray paint but everything else is from the Skin Illustrator Fleshtone &  FX palette. The colors have been both airbrushed, and stained on.  I use the original Fleshtone palette  for all around work because the skin tones
are great.  Also, the Vein Tone is perfect.
4.)  The badly stitched man from the comedy "Chop Chop".  One large gelatine piece covering the right side of the face. Painted only with Skin Illustrator Fleshtone and Skin Illustrator FX.
5.)  Generally for prosthetics, I have my own little system of staining the colors on. 
Sometimes that's all I do - I don't touch the pieces at all, I  just stain all the color on. This stitched man was done with that technique.
6.)   36 year old actor Jens Albinus before the old age makeup.
7.)  Actor Jens Albinus with overlapping gelatine old age make-up.  This was made for (but never used in) the black and white  feature "At kende sandheden" (Facing the Truth) by Nils Malmros.  The paint job was an RMGP base and Skin Illustrator.   I use the Dark Fleshtone palette for the yellowish skin tones and liver spots.
8.)  "This was a test make-up, so hair and eyes have been manipulated in Photoshop to save money for a wig and contact lenses. 
9.)   A female Neanderthal from a television commercial.  The actress is wearing a foam forehead, nose, upper lip and dentures. The paint job is a little bit of PAX and RMPG  but mostly stained Skin Illustrator colors with a layer of Espresso 2 airbrushed on top.
