Materials Needed
Before we dive into the transformation process, let’s make sure you have all the necessary materials. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Bald cap
- Skin adhesive
- Latex
- Thread
- Toilet paper
- White grease color
- Purple, black, and brown face paint
- Contacts
- Blood (stipple sponge)
- Black tooth enamel
- Premade teeth
Now that you have all the materials, let’s begin the transformation!
Preparing the Bald Cap
To start, you’ll need a bald cap to create the base for your wendigo look. Begin by fastening the bald cap with skin adhesive, making sure it sits securely on your head. Once the bald cap is in place, cut out holes for your ears and apply more adhesive to secure the edges.
Creating the Wrinkles
Next, it’s time to create the signature wrinkles of the wendigo. Apply latex on your face, focusing on areas where you want the wrinkles to appear. Now, using thread, create a wrinkle pattern by placing pieces of thread on the latex, three on each side. Secure the thread with latex, covering it entirely to ensure it stays in place. To add more dimension, create a thick vein on your forehead using the same technique. Bend and split the vein slightly to give it a more realistic look. Apply more latex and allow it to dry before moving on.
Making the Veins
Now it’s time to create veins on other parts of your body. Using thread and latex, create veins on your shoulder, applying the latex to mimic the appearance of veins. Add texture to the shoulder by ripping the latex in random places. You can also add more latex and continue ripping to create a rough, textured effect.
Adding Texture to the Face and Head
To add texture to your face and head, start by painting the entire face with white grease color. Next, add purple around the mouth and smudge some color onto the head to give it a textured look. Use black face paint to add color around the eyes and rip the latex around the mouth for a more rugged appearance. Apply another layer of latex to secure the ripped latex in place. Continue with black face paint on the eyes, filling in any holes with black to create a more seamless finish. To add depth and dimension, use brown face paint to create shading on the face.
Painting the Eyes
The wendigo is known for its piercing eyes, so it’s essential to paint the eyes accordingly. Paint the eyes with a deep purple color, giving them an intense and captivating look. To enhance the overall appearance, add black around the mouth and continue with another layer of latex. Fill in any holes with black to ensure a smooth finish. For shading, use brown face paint to create a more realistic and three-dimensional effect.
Adding Color to the Mouth
To make the mouth area look more exciting, use black and purple face paint to add depth and color. Apply more black and purple for bruising effects. To achieve a bloody look, add blood around the mouth using a stipple sponge.
Creating the Shading
Shading is a crucial step in creating a realistic wendigo look. Use brown face paint to add shading to various parts of the face, such as cheekbones and around the threads to create a 3D effect. Take your time to smudge the brown paint and create straight lines, smudging them downwards for a more natural appearance. Remember, you have the creative freedom to make this look unique to your own vision.
Adding Details to the Face
To add more details, focus on the eyebrows. Use browns to create realistic-looking eyebrows that match the rest of the face. Add some brown around the nose and smudge it out for the desired effect. Apply more brown, especially on the chest area, to enhance the overall wendigo look. Fill in the lips with black face paint to complete the transformation. Don’t forget to add more wrinkles and create additional black and purple bruising effects for a truly terrifying appearance.
Finishing Touches
To complete your wendigo look, it’s time to add some final touches. Put on contacts to achieve the characteristic eyes of the wendigo. Dab on blood around the mouth using a stipple sponge for an even more haunting look. To hide your teeth, apply black tooth enamel. Finally, put on the premade teeth, and you’re ready to scare everyone with your transformation into a wendigo from Until Dawn.
