ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the methods for creating prosthetics using silicone, foam latex, foam urethane, gelatin and foamed gelatin, and dental acrylic. The horns were already made when Kevin utilized them for sculpting the face and head piece. Silicone appliances can be cast in a number of types of molds, including Ultracal, Hydrocal, fiberglass, Forton MG, urethane, and even silicone, provided it's supported by a jacket mold and well released. One of the great things about silicone is its similarity in look and feel to human skin when it is colored intrinsically with pigment. Human skin is actually translucent. Silicone can also be colored intrinsically with opaque pigments that significantly lessen the sense of depth and translucence; however, if the amount is very small, translucency can be maintained. When mixing skin tones, you start from nothing and you create it from scratch. Not only that, but you're going to be mixing a base which has to match an existing skin tone.
