A final coat of Illustrator in clear gloss made them ready for false lashes and blue lipstick. Legacy also supplied the robotic head piece. We had 20 of these to do each day and the invaluable work from Local 706 members Jay Wejebe, Viola Rock, Bill Myer, Alexei Dmitriew, James MacKinnon, Don and Deborah Rutherford, Travis Pates and Myke Michaels, as well as doz- ens of Local 798 members in Atlanta, was greatly appreciated. They worked on point day after day and rose the bar. Then I had blue, pink, yellow and humanoid aliens to do. These could then be divided into civilians or "Ravagers," which were kind of like space pirates. These aliens represented beings from all over the universe. To create the Ravagers, we used dirt, tattoos, scars and tribal scarifications, as well as being blue, pink or yellow or humanoid. I wanted to make these as dramatic as possible so that they would fit in with all the Ravagers that would be in heavier prosthetics provided by the team from Legacy. For the blue, pink or yellow aliens, the first step was to apply an alcohol-based primer in an ivory tone with a kabuki or a powder brush. This was a mix of Reel Creations porce- lain with a light flesh tone in Pro-Aiir that Donna mixed up for me. Then I used Mac Chromaline aound the eyes. This was followed by a layer of water-based ProColor make-up, also applied with a brush. Next, was a layer of alcohol-based Pro-Aiir applied with an airbrush followed by a clear coat of Illustrator clear gloss to add some depth and translucency. We made all our tattoos in-house in our workshop at Pinewood. They were made by printing out Photoshop images 40
