The Three Fates.

This one of those rare shoots where I made one-off prosthetics just for it, the moulds are gone and you'll only see them here.I also rarely do shoots with multiple people, mainly because I'm only a so-so photographer and find trying to get several people into a shot and maintain some kind of focus on them is a little on the annoying side sometimes, so I just have to do what I can when these kind of shoots come up.

Having said that, this is the second time I've shot with these three on one shoot and it's always been fun so far so I proposed that maybe we do this yearly - since I'm trying to focus more on quality photoshoots that have a little more something something to them rather than just the usual random Demons (which are awesome and easy, but it can get a little too easy and simple sometimes) and coming up with an idea that needs three people presents a enjoyable challenge that I feel like I need to put back into these shoots.

And having said that, we already have next years shoot planned and it's going to be pretty fucking cool, so all you 80s horror kids should be happy with it.

This was intended to be a relatively simple "random Demon" shoot and it became this. Sometimes when a makeup gets elaborate looking like this there's a point where you're not sure it's going to work or not, but all the way with this is seemed like it was going somewhere specific until I finally finished it. Really happy with how it turned out.

Dr. Zoidberg

This kind of shoot is way outside of what I normally do, although I am sort of changing what I normally do but not to this extreme and that's another conversation. I chose to specifically do this shoot because of the prosthetic I make, The Flayer. The intention of The Flayer was to create a simple Mind Flayer prosthetic, but upon seeing it I realized there was a very decent comparison to Dr. Zoidberg.

I usually get comments comparing my designs to other existing things (most of the time the comparisons are a massive stretch though), in this case I had to admit there was pretty obvious comparison to be made. So I decided that this was something I had to do just to see how it would work.

The idea sat on the shelf for a couple years, I needed to make and collect all the parts needed, eventually it happened and I was able to get this turned out. It was a slightly rushed shoot, but overall I am really happy with how it turned out.

The Flayer is also one of my best selling pieces and despite my limited intention with the design, I'm really glad to see it's more versatile than I had planned. And, as a side note, I do have plans to for a much more elaborate Flayer prosthetic - this one will remain, there'll just be two versions.

Why not Zoidberg?
