Takes a Lickin', Keeps on Tickin'

In spite of a virus that's been going around putting a hold on several things, we still had a full week. The goblin prosthetics arrived, and we now know which ones we are going to use. First we had to research how to cure the masks to allow them to accept airbrush makeup (castor oil, in case you were wondering) and how to preserve their usefulness, as the harsh adhesive removers tend to degrade the mask over time. With that research done we turn to finding a good airbrush for the makeup application.
The next phase of ear casting went a bit awry, as the lower half of the two part mold crept up a bit too far over the ear to make removal possible, so we had to chip open the mold and sculpt a new ear tip. Fortunately the base ear was still intact, so we will finish the sculpt and try again.
The final elements of Savara's armor have been designed and cut, now we must dye, rivet, grommet, and detail them.
The stunt team met again this Sunday, and it was quite the day. After running through the basics of rolling and falling, we detoured into the fine art of taking a hit...

Explained how the victim's reaction sells the hit (sometimes with comedic results...)

...before stepping out to review the basic principles of swordplay. With that done we moved into fighting with and against the spear. It's a good feeling when your students begin teaching the newest recruits.

Despite the illness, it was a good week. With a little over three months to go until the shoot begins, all I can say is, that's a very good thing.

Thanks for reading! Until next time.
