THE ARTISAN FALL 2024 • 25 Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi) (L-R) Baylan Skoll (Ray Stevenson) and Shin Hati (Ivanna Sakhno) Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) only in animation, taking into consideration Hayden's own curl pattern and what his hair would be like at that length. Cristina and Gabriela took turns doing the make-up, which was directly referenced to the original footage and included a custom rigid collodion scar and subtle changes from "dark side" Anakin to "light side" Anakin, including custom contacts for the "dark" look. MORGAN ELSBETH/NIGHTSISTERS Maria Sandoval/Alexei Dmitriew MS: A custom-fronted Cal East wig was created for Morgan (again ventilated by Anneliese Boies) and colored by myself for Season 2 of e Mandalorian, styled with mini-crimping and a combination of a fishtail braid and multiple bubble ponytail with leather wrappings. My final design for her change incorporated more mini-crimping, two fishtail braids crisscrossing the center of her head, and two buns in the back. A piece of chain was placed along the center part, and I used a thin section of her real nape hair to create a seamless hairline. AD: I set out to elevate Morgan's look from e Mandalorian, Season 2, which featured subtle nude eyeshadow and light mascara. For Ahsoka, we amplified the drama with vibrant shades of purple, black, and brick red from a Viseart palette. Collaborating closely with Maria, we ensured her forehead tattoo was perfectly placed. Morgan's transformation into a witch unfolded dramatically as dark powers were bestowed upon her. Using a cast of the actress' face and a custom-made Vacuform stencil, we applied a lighter foundation to give her a ghostly complexion, while cream contour colors and airbrushed soot and black added depth and texture, and custom contact lenses helped bring her mystical character to life. For the Nightsisters, we used brow covers and custom-made finger cups with nails. Again, cream contour colors, airbrushed soot, and black added depth and texture, and custom contact lenses were used. ese make-ups were applied by Cale omas, Scott Stoddard, and Mike Mekash, and the lenses were applied by Christina Gonzalez. EZRA BRIDGER: Ashleigh Childers/Cristina Waltz/Maria Sandoval CW: For actor Eman Esfandi playing Ezra, we created a small cheek appliance scar (which the character carried through the animated series), and Jessica Nelson painted his deep blue lenses. MS: is version of Ezra is not one we had ever seen in animation, and he has been in self-imposed "exile" for years. Actor Eman Esfandi grew his hair out in record time, and Ashleigh styled it with R and Co RODEO STAR mousse and a diffuser, finishing with Bumble and Bumble grooming cream. On the last day of filming, I cut his hair short for the "hologram"
