Face Off (2011) s03e05 Episode Script

Previously on Face Off The artists created original zombies inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Oh, my God! Roy's terrifying queen carried him to victory, and Nicole was sent home.
Now eight artists remain.
Tonight they'll tackle a challenge of heroic proportion.
Yes! I'm excited about this challenge.
I do not like this shit.
I don't like what I'm sculpting.
I need to start over.
The mold cracked.
And I'm gonna be in serious trouble.
And onstage their work will be showcased before an entertainment icon.
Boy, what a bunch of hard-asses.
You didn't do a good job.
I could be the one going home.
In the end, only one will win the opportunity to be a guest lecturer at Makeup Forever's academies in New York and Paris, a new 2012 Toyota Prius V, and $100,000.
And for the first time ever-- America, your voice will be heard in selecting the winner.
Only one will win Face Off.
I miss her already.
Nicole's eliminated, and I'm devastated.
I don't think she deserved to go home.
And if it wasn't gonna be me, it was gonna be Rod.
No way was Nikki going home.
I thought you were gonna go home too.
Nicole was my best friend in the house.
It felt terrible.
I thought that I should have gone home over her.
I just want to get back in the shop and not make another catastrophe.
in front of this huge cave.
Welcome to Bronson Caves.
This location has been used in countless films.
However, it's probably best known as the entrance to the bat cave in the classic Batman television series.
What? Superheroes come in all shapes and sizes.
So, working together in teams of two, your spotlight challenge is to create the superhero and sidekick that would use one of these vehicles.
Cars start coming around the corner, and they're the coolest ever Is that a Lamborghini? From every genre and style and time period.
What the heck is that? - Aw, yeah! - Yeah! All right, your teams have been randomly selected, and they are Derek and Sarah Jason and Rod Laura and Tommy Alana and Roy.
- Yeah, buddy.
- All right.
Alana's sweet, but she's also very flighty.
So I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to take the lead on this.
Okay, if everybody would stand with their new team member.
All right, so these are the vehicles you have to choose from today-- The Dodge Charger, the Tatra T87, the AJS Motorcycle, the Lamborghini Gallardo, the Space Mole, and the Humber Pig Armored Truck.
All right, it is time to select your vehicles.
Derek and Sarah? The AJS Motorcycle with sidecar.
Jason and Rod.
- Tatra T87.
- T87.
- Alana and Roy.
- Let's do the Charger.
And Tommy and Laura.
We'll take the battle tank.
So, before you get started on your designs, I would like to introduce you to a special guest who knows a thing or two about impressing our judges.
He also happens to be a very gifted concept designer and will consult with each of you on your designs today.
Come on out! - Yeah! - Awesome! Hey, buddy! It's Rayce, the winner of season two.
He has a really good eye for detail.
Everything he did last year just was very unique.
So I'm really looking forward to see what he thinks of our design.
Everybody please say hello to the season-two winner of Face Off, Rayce Bird.
Hey.
What have you been up to since you won Face Off? Um, I've been doing a lot of conceptual-design work-- Anything from the digital stuff to the makeup stuff.
Of course, tattooing has gotten out of control as well.
- I can only imagine.
- So, yeah.
All right, guys, get started.
- Just draw, homey, just draw.
- Okay.
What I'm playing with is a weak, wealthy person being driven in that great car.
Rod and I decided the Tatra will inspire our superhero and sidekick.
- Jason.
- Jason.
Rod.
We don't know the superhero thing that well, so the challenge is pretty difficult for both of us.
Tell me a little bit about what your plan is.
The idea is the person in the back seat is the brains of the operation, and then the driver is the muscle.
But the passenger will be controlling the driver.
Build your story based off of the vehicle-- The shapes, the way it flows.
It could even be some kind of a vein pattern - that flows that way.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, so we decided to go with a female hero with a sidekick.
So we came up with the characters fire and chaos.
Fire is the daughter of the devil, and her imp is there to cause trouble, but also to keep her out of trouble.
What's cool about this specific flame is the circular pattern, so play with the small circles.
Also, incorporate something into him that creates a cohesion.
It could even be just the way the shapes move and flow across the body.
So basically she is a military experiment that has escaped.
And she can do whatever she wants with her body.
Like, it can morph into whatever it needs to be and that's why she's looking a bit more badass.
The sidekick is a soldier.
He's in love with this woman.
He loses it and breaks her out.
He blows a wall inside the laboratory, and he blows half his face off.
Now, this is a very big, black vehicle.
So, even if you put some blocky stuff on her or a little more rigidity, you should be very careful of how you integrate it.
So tell me a little bit about what you got going on? We both want to go with the superhero that doesn't have superpowers, but is more like Batman.
We would like a girl and a guy.
We keep thinking definitely a female Indiana Jones superhero.
Even if it's a very normal-looking character - with normal features - Mm-hmm.
It can still have some of those subtle details of the bike-- You know, how it's very busy, it's very dirty.
That can lead to some kind of a scar.
It's the details that are gonna help relate to the vehicle you guys have chosen.
Hey, guys, everything's looking really good.
Good luck.
Go ahead and make your way back to the shop and get these things rolling.
- Thanks.
- Thanks, Rayce.
- Thank you.
- Thanks, guys.
I love superheroes.
I grew up learning how to draw from comic books, so I'm excited about this challenge.
First thing I want to do is start sculpting.
I'm gonna work on the sidekick, and Sarah is gonna work on the superhero look.
Our concept is to go with brains and brawn.
I'm going to attempt to be the brain, and Jason's going to be the brawn.
His skin's a little rough there, with the veins coming out of it.
One here, one here, and then one on top.
Alana and I came up with the concept fire and chaos.
I'm gonna work on chaos.
She's gonna work on fire.
My concern is even though Alana's a good sculptor, I just don't know how fast she is.
I look at Laura's sculpt, and it is very, very similar to my own.
And I'm confused.
Why does Laura's headpiece look like fire? I've just been pushing around clay for, like, an hour, and it's just not translating as a burn for me.
I don't know what the fuck to do.
- Yeah.
- I do not like this shit.
I've never sculpted a burn makeup.
It's supposed to look like he's gotten hamburger-meated.
- I'm just gonna go with it.
- Totally.
It's a simple, simple sculpt.
It took me way too long to wrap my head around it.
It's taking me way too long to put the small amount of clay that I put on the face.
So then I decide to jump over to make the headpiece, which is what will give our superheroes their superpowers.
I start with foam sheets.
That's not going the way I want it to go.
So then I decide I'm just gonna sculpt.
But I'm just not happy with anything that I'm doing.
And I have a lot of catching up to do.
One hour, three minutes.
I didn't think this would be as hard as it is.
Alana's making the flames way too small, and flames are really hard to sculpt.
I'm starting to get worried.
Okay, maybe this is just a bad way to go.
Fire isn't choppy.
It's smooth.
It's flowing.
It's alive almost.
Okay, guys, that's it! Time's up! I spent five hours sculpting a face piece that I am not happy with.
And, like, that's pathetic.
Let's get this.
It's day two of the superhero challenge, and I don't like what I'm sculpting.
I'm disappointed in myself.
I really need to step my game up, or else I'm gonna go home.
Bye.
I need to start over.
I'm, like, losing it.
I don't know what I'm doing here.
I really don't.
I'm disappointed in the way that this is going.
We could be in serious trouble.
Coming up - Fuck.
- Oh, no.
The mold cracked.
Rod, Ve wants to come back really quick.
I just want to say one more thing to you.
Wow.
I know I'm in trouble.
Joining our panel this week, Kevin Smith.
Thanks for having me, man.
I'm ready to judge.
Bye.
It's day two of the superhero challenge, and I need to boogie down and restart the sculpture because I don't like it.
It's not a winning piece.
It's not something that's even commendable.
I'm starting my sculpture over.
That's how brave I am.
Changed my whole design.
Alana has this new excitement about starting this piece, and I'm starting to feel a lot better about it.
I can actually see these characters driving around in the Dodge Charger.
Starting over.
I'm sculpting faster than I think I ever have and I'm loving the way that this is pulling together.
And I think it looks more cohesive with Roy's sidekick.
- I like the bat nose.
- Thank you.
- I love her so much now.
- Good.
I feel so much better about the situation.
- How many hours we got today? - Ten.
Awesome.
I'm gonna need 12 of them.
I'm still a little down about how much work I got done yesterday, but I have a ton of energy today.
First thing I do is get my face done - That works, right? - It's working.
The headpiece, which is the device that controls the brains to the brawn, and now I'm sculpting the chest piece.
I'm not happy with the piece I sculpted, but it needs to be molded by the end of the day.
We have a lot of work to do, so we start molding.
We need to get this ready to go by the end of the day, so we have our appliances ready for the morning.
We're molding together.
I'm helping her out.
She's helping me out.
We're really working as a team.
Yeah.
Derek and I are doing everything in silicone.
So we need to get all of our sculpting finished and molded so that we can get the silicone run, and then we can focus on making the props.
I honestly don't know where Sarah's spending all of her time.
Her design is very minimal.
It's an eye patch and a scar.
It seems like Derek is doing most of the work.
I decide to go with silicone again.
I'm hoping that it'll look good, but I'm worried about the weight of his face and chest pieces.
Yeah.
All right, thank you.
Derek and I are fabricating the props.
I'm making some goggles, and he's making a helmet.
Hmm.
Are you doing the goggles on it? I'm thinking I am, so it saves time.
Awesome.
I ended up spending lots of time fabricating something I don't need.
Sarah looks a little frustrated 'cause we're not on the same page.
Hopefully we'll get everything tied up.
Hey, everybody, I am here with Ve.
We're gonna do a little walk-through and see how you're doing.
Let's go.
Tell us your concept of what you're creating for a superhero and a sidekick.
This character is a scientist.
He's always been wheelchair-bound.
As the brains of the operation, he really needs muscle to do all the harder work.
So the same apparatus that he would be using to make himself smarter, we're going to put onto the stronger guy, so it would make him super strong.
This guy looks very familiar.
He kind of looks like that weird guy inside that pod suit - The queen also.
- And the queen.
Now you got three of them that are very similar.
No.
Ve says, "it looks like everything else you've done.
" This is not good.
I will take note of that.
'Cause I won't be the only one that will recognize that fact.
No, no.
She's giving me a hint now.
Change this, or there's probably going to be trouble ahead.
Thank you.
Good luck.
It's never a good thing when judges come through and then say, "you should probably change everything about your sculpture.
" We're doing minimal prosthetics on her.
She has a big scar across her lip.
You might consider taking the scar down a little bit.
She probably is attractive, and you don't want to remove that element from your superhero.
Try to keep her as sexy as possible, especially if she's in that '40s genre.
I'd actually already finished casting the scar, so Derek and I look at each other.
We're kind of like, "well, let's pull it apart, see what it looks like, and then maybe we can just quick re-sculpt it.
" - We got the Dodge Charger.
- Love that.
Our characters' names are Fire and Chaos.
Fire and Chaos, all right.
And Fire is a daughter of the devil.
Chaos is sent along with her as her guardian/troublemaker.
- What color is she gonna be? - I'm sticking with reds.
But she's not gonna be solid red? - Oh, of course not.
- Good girl.
No, no.
We took the humber.
The giant tank.
The battle tank.
I'm pretty much concentrating on the hero, and he's got the sidekick.
Oh, so you did all the sculpting on this.
- You did this.
- Mm-hmm.
This is her, and she can morph her skin.
She's gonna have claws and things that-- She's just combat ready.
It looks like you're really going for it.
- I'm trying.
- Okay, good.
So what are your thoughts of Rod and Jason? They have the brains and the brawn characters.
Yeah.
He's repeating himself, you know? - A third time.
- Mm-hmm.
We don't want to see the same thing every time.
Okay, let's move on to Derek and Sarah.
I like their concept and everything, but they've really got to work on their female.
Because they don't want to make that female unattractive.
It's not gonna make for a good superhero.
Next we have Alana and Roy.
They're really kind of a cohesive group.
They've got their backstory.
They're trying to pull off a lot.
I hope they can do that.
All right, so let's move on to Laura and Tommy.
I think they're cool characters.
I don't know if it's a cohesive idea.
A superhero that can morph-- Okay, cool.
Okay, everybody, we are heading out.
It's looking good.
Good luck tomorrow.
Bye, everybody.
Bye, guys.
Okay.
After Ve's concerns about my sculpture, I'm determined to change everything in this face so nothing is similar.
So I start to reshape the entire face.
Rod, Ve wants to come back really quick.
I just want to say one more thing to you.
The judges never come back.
This must be worse than I thought.
Okay.
Ve hinted that I should change my sculpture.
So I'm determined to change everything in this face so nothing is similar.
Rod, Ve wants to come back really quick.
I just want to say one more thing to you.
Wow.
Ve coming back is serious.
I know I'm in trouble.
I like the fact that you've taken off some wrinkles, but it still looks like the same guy.
So start thinking about doing something a little bit more aquiline, to change the look of the character.
I don't want to say too much, but no droopy round-face guys.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Our inspiration is the battle tank.
So I start working on my gun arm and immediately change the idea from it being a flamethrower arm to being a grenade-launcher arm.
Boom! I go back to molding my hand pieces.
Fuck! And the mold cracked.
Whenever you have a crack in the mold, one thing's gonna happen for sure-- it's gonna break.
Cracked along the fingers.
The fingers curled up.
The piece just fell all apart, and it's too late in the day to scrap the whole thing and start over again.
So I've decided to risk it and just finish the molds the way that they are.
To piece it back together again, it looks like Frankenstein, 'cause it's all these pieces just jammed together with bubble gum and good luck.
I just keep on looking at the clock, going Mm.
I'm being forced to re-sculpt the face in a very short amount of time.
Is this square enough? And then also, is it just a good makeup? You know, more importantly, is it gonna move on his face well? This sculpt I'm just not thrilled with, but this is the best I can do in this amount of time.
- That's really coming together.
- No, it's not.
- It's falling apart - Oh.
Is the problem.
Try some epoxy.
- Some what? - Epoxy.
Thank you.
I managed to salvage the molds, so I poured some polyfoam into them to give them more stability.
I also need to keep the molds hollow for the actor's hands.
So I saran-wrap my arm And then insert my arm into the molds while the polyfoam is curing.
I'm absolutely slow.
Rod's really behind.
I'm just trying to make sure our superheroes get done.
So I have to do as much as I can, but it's just a lot of weight to carry when you know you're already behind.
I don't care what this looks like, it just needs to be done by the end of the day.
That's time, everybody! Because of this re-sculpt, Jason and I didn't get to do many other things that needed to take place.
I don't like waiting till the last minute, but we have no choice.
Okay.
It's application day.
We have four hours in the lab and then one hour left on last looks.
Jason has a silicone appliance that he has to apply now.
I have my prosthetic.
But we really need to get two neck pieces and two headpieces run in polyfoam.
All of this is using up our very limited amount of time to actually do applications.
See that flamethrower back there? - Yeah.
- That's you.
These are your headpieces.
This is what gives you, uh, your superpowers.
This is ripping everywhere.
I put a shellac coating over my cowl when I ran the foam, but I didn't let the shellac dry, and it caused my foam to burn.
If you burn foam, it's not stretchy anymore, and it will tear very easily.
Just And that's what's happening.
It's a hot mess.
We are gonna be using silicone for this project.
I've never worked with silicone, but I want to try to get that transparency that's just a little different than foam.
It's a little heavier, so I'm a little worried about applying it.
How much longer on that, Alana? Done.
I'm just waiting for it to dry.
Okay, don't worry about that right now.
Go ahead and get started on Jenny.
Alana's job is to apply the bald caps, and it's just taking forever.
Yo, Alana, it doesn't have to be pretty.
It just has to be functional.
The silicone was not the right color for his skin, so I have to airbrush the whole thing a new color.
So you kind of lose the effect that silicone would give you to begin with, which is the translucency that it has.
- Laura.
- Yes, sir? - It's just not working.
- What isn't? This whole thing.
This is coming out of the bald cap.
This is tearing up.
I'm thinking about taking this fucking thing off.
Tommy is having some issues.
The cowl ripped.
The edges were bad.
It's just a spiral of bad coincidences.
Just stick to the plan.
All this can be covered with hair, - and we'll hide it.
- All right.
Just keep going.
Just keep going.
All right.
The whole time that we're doing the application, I'm worried that I don't have enough stuff.
Everybody else has way more prosthetics or at least bigger prosthetics.
Got the beauty makeup to do, also a really cool hairstyle.
So I'm hoping that's gonna be enough.
Roy, we got 30 minutes left.
We got less than 30 minutes left.
- And that's time, everyone! - Awesome.
- That's it.
- That's it.
Time.
All right, everybody, let's go.
I'm definitely feeling a little nervous.
I'm a little worried about the jaw.
It's a little heavy.
There's a big chin.
Big lips.
And, uh, I haven't glued it down yet.
So I have to do that during last looks.
Coming up Anything can happen when you walk out onstage.
Everything about it screams comic book to me.
She just looks like she has dirty makeup on.
It's last looks.
I have one hour to complete my makeup.
I'm not happy about how far behind Rod and I are.
I still have to airbrush the whole thing and lay down his eyebrows, lay down some hair work around his forehead.
But anything can happen when you walk out onstage.
- Do you see his chin, Derek? - I'll get it.
- Okay.
- Open your mouth.
I have to finish gluing down the jaw, and it's not staying.
The jaw seems a little to heavy.
Are you about done on painting? Almost done.
I'm just about to get those flames on her, but I don't know how to do that.
Alana's job is to apply the flames on her arms.
She starts panicking a little bit.
I'm so worried about this not working out.
- You think it will work? - Stop worrying.
I tell you what to do and you do it-- that's it.
Take tape, wrap around it, pull the gloves up.
- She's done.
- You look like a superhero.
Five minutes, everybody! Five minutes! - Excuse me.
- Yeah, get the flamethrower.
Excuse me, coming through.
And that's time, everyone.
Brushes down.
- Brushes down.
- All right.
I'm not sure how it's gonna go.
We did our best.
We both know that this is not our strength.
It's not something that I'm really proud of.
Oh, my God! Welcome to the Face Off reveal stage.
Tonight one of you will be eliminated.
Say hello to your judges-- Owner of Optic Nerve Makeup Effects Studio, Glenn Hetrick - Hello.
- Hi.
Three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist Ve Neill - Evening, guys.
- Hey.
Creature and concept designer Neville Page Hello.
- Hey.
- Hello.
And joining our panel this week He's an actor, writer, and director with a huge fan following for films like Clerks, Dogma, and most recently, Red State.
He also runs a podcast empire at smodcast.
com.
Please give a warm welcome to Kevin Smith.
Whoo! Hi.
This is phenomenal, man.
I literally feel like I'm on the deck of a star destroyer.
Kevin Smith is an amazing writer/director/ comic-book enthusiast.
I love Kevin Smith.
I got into filmmaking because of Kevin Smith.
He made me believe that I could do it myself.
Well, thank you so much for being here.
Thanks for having me, man.
I'm ready to judge.
- That's what I'm here for.
- Fantastic.
Well, everyone knows that you are a huge comic-book fan.
You've even written for Daredevil, Batman.
In your opinion, what does it take to make a great superhero? You got to kill their parents early on.
- Really? - Oh, hands down.
Orphans, that's what makes a great superhero.
This week your spotlight challenge was to create a superhero and sidekick that would use the vehicles you chose.
So let's see what you came up with.
Our models walk out onstage, and I love the contrast between the two, and I am hoping that the judges realize that the contrast was deliberate.
It fits the genre of what we were going for the best we could, so I'm not sure how this is gonna go.
Overall, the look of everything and the cohesion that the characters have with the background, with the motorcycle-- we're both feeling pretty good about it.
I can't keep my eyes off of Britney.
I think she's popping.
I think she's so confident.
And Jenny is just this cute little imp and just, like, scurrying along behind her, and it just looks fabulous.
Judges, why don't you take a closer look.
I go right for the nails.
What does that say about me? Well, see the inside of your hands.
See, to me, that's kind of interesting.
This is the edge of the bald cap.
His muscles are getting so big that he's busting out of his skin.
That sculpture does not say that to me.
I'm just hoping that ve can see that I listened to her.
I changed everything.
It may not be enough.
I mentioned to Rod that all of his sculptures were looking very similar.
He's changed it a little bit, but it still looks like the same guy.
I sense trouble.
I could be the one going home.
We want to know what you think of tonight's transformations.
I mentioned to Rod that all of his sculptures were looking very similar.
I see ve talking to the other judges about the face that I did.
He's changed it a little bit, but it still looks like the same guy.
And that is nerve-racking.
Now, this is kind of interesting.
Can you open your mouth? I hate mouth inside of mouth.
I just don't know what this is.
I mean, it's undefined.
Looks like he's into scars.
Well, it's supposed to be a scar, yes.
Oh, my God.
Can I touch this? Tilt your head down so we can take a look at how this all integrates in what's going on up here.
Looks like there might have been some horns supposed to be here.
How does it feel to wear? - All right.
- That's important.
You don't want to be on set with somebody that's like, "get it off!" Move your hand.
This is the character I most identified with.
Kevin, you're a super fan.
What do you think? This is stuff I've dreamed about since I was a kid.
Back when I was a youngster, I wanted to do special effects and makeup.
You guys did a great, great job.
The judges would like to speak with each of you to learn more about your work.
Laura and Tommy, please step up.
Start us off telling us the backstory.
Arthur Flynn, AKA Kid Dynamite-- he's a special ops demolition expert, and he notices his love is captured, and he's like, "I'm gonna break her out.
" So he's lighting all this dynamite, and it blows off his hand and my goggles.
And his face gets torn to crap, but he rescues Thorn, and they both are on the run now.
Laura, I see one of the only makeups with elements of existing superheroes.
It feels like a mutant superhero.
I think that the work that you did as a team is extremely polarized.
In plain English, I like that And I hate that.
Tommy, your guy looks like a football player that got put through a meat grinder.
Laura has got a complete makeup job there.
Your attention to detail, with her nails, her fingers, everything is still on her.
She's all intact, and she's beautiful.
Boy, what a bunch of hard-asses.
They both are very evocative.
This is very Geiger-esque on this side.
This over here, Toxic Avenger-esque.
I think that's cool because it calls to mind something immediately.
But I love this.
This is fun for me.
- Please step back.
- Thank you.
Jason and Rod, please step forward.
Now, tell me what makes these guys as cool as that car back there? Um, these headpieces are what gives them superpowers.
We immediately thought, just looking at that the car, that that's a rich person's car, for sure.
And they would have a driver and that would be a good disguise to go with during the day.
Yesterday when I did the walk-through, I had a really long talk with you, - not once, but twice - Yes.
About not doing the same guy.
Let me just say this-- it still looks like the same guy.
Mm-hmm.
He's got a fat head like all the other guys did.
Mm-hmm.
And you did not change the mouth.
It still has a turned-down mouth.
I'm disappointed that you didn't think out of your little box with your fat head.
Now, as far as you go, explain to me what those pieces are supposed to be.
That's supposed to be, like, when he gets pumped up from the superpowers, his skin is splitting and cracking.
It doesn't really read like that.
It just looks like weird patches of some kind of growth he has going on.
And as far as you using silicone on his face, you've destroyed it by painting it too dark.
Your concept-- muscles expanding and skin tearing-- you didn't do a good job conveying that.
You put a coat over it, and we can't see it.
Do you mind taking your coat off? The guy's got an incredible physique.
Don't put him in a coat.
It's gonna automatically feel superhero.
The devices that you created as props are bothersome to me, because it's a cool idea, but there's no level to the detail.
It's just a flat thing.
I don't know why you picked floppy foam.
It's not even sitting on their heads correctly.
Jason, Rod Step back.
Derek and Sarah.
Real quick-- explain the concepts.
When we saw the bike, we thought Dick Tracy meets Indiana Jones.
The detail of the lower-jaw piece-- it doesn't work for me when I see that his bottom lip is somewhere buried in the makeup.
As soon as you bake in an expression, you do not give your character the opportunity to emote beyond what we see here.
Sarah, for you, it's kind of cool, but I just don't see the work.
I like the insignia that you guys came up with.
Shocking nobody else has done that yet.
This feels most like a superhero team to me.
Thank you.
The eye patch-- in your mind, how does it stay on? Glue.
Why would she glue her eye patch on? There's riveted plate all over your vehicle.
Doesn't it make more sense to have used the riveted-plate idea that was so conspicuous? Yeah, that's what you said.
Okay, guys, explain to me-- it looks like this should have been up higher.
Did it just slip? - It's just slipping.
- Dang.
Sarah, I know yesterday when I saw your sculpture, which was this humongous thing that was gonna be on her mouth-- I'm really glad that you didn't do that, but I think you might have gone a little too far in the other direction.
She just looks like she has dirty makeup on.
And that's kind of unfortunate.
Derek, Sarah, please step back.
Thanks, guys.
Alana and Roy.
This-- I can't take my eyes off of it.
I need to know the backstory, 'cause this reminds me of me and my wife, man.
Tall, hot chick, trolly-looking dude sitting at her knee trying to get some play.
This is Fire and Chaos.
Fire is a daughter of Satan, and she's curious about the human world, so she comes to the surface, and Chaos is sent along to cause trouble.
The way you did the flames is really cool.
This reminds me of a comic book.
Please give us what each of your contributions were.
I sculpted the face.
I cut out all the pieces of accuform here.
I assisted Roy in his creature suit.
And Roy did a lot of work as well.
This is the only team that represents comic-book art to me.
And I don't even need to ask how it matches the vehicle, which is awesome.
I think the two characters meld together really well as well.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
I know that you had sculpted a whole different sculpt, right? You were trying to put the flames into her head, into the makeup, and you switched over to this.
I think that was probably a really good choice.
I would love to see them driving down the street together.
That would be hysterical.
Alana, Roy, will you please step back? Thank you, guys.
Thank you, ladies.
All right, the judges have heard what you have to say.
Please head back to the makeup room while they make their decisions.
All right, guys, why don't we talk about the looks you liked the most? Let's start with Laura and Tommy.
I think that one of the strongest things about this team is that Laura's concept is very X-Men superhero to me.
Laura does succeed in making sure she fills the-- She took the comic-book thing literally.
- Yep.
- All right, let's do this.
I think that was brilliant.
The paint job was really striking, and I think she has a great silhouette.
It's very superhero-looking.
The kid dynamite thing was not nearly as strong.
The thick neck kind of throws you off.
Laura's definitely superhero, and for that reason and that reason alone, this team ends up in the top looks.
All right, let's move on to Alana and Roy.
Very colorful.
I mean, they were definitely the most colorful duo out there.
The flames on the character that she created is immediately recognizable to me as an actual comic-book character.
This week, that's making me love this makeup.
Let's move on to the looks you liked the least-- Jason and Rod's.
Jason and Rod just didn't feel like as much effort was put in.
The idea was really clever, the execution not so much.
The costume choices were bizarre, to say the least.
There was nothing, and particularly Jason-- this guy had such a fantastic physique.
Yes.
He wanted him to be the muscle, and we barely see the muscle.
It's like a little peek-a-boo sport coat.
Let's talk about the fact that he used silicone and then painted this guy's face so dark.
His face was, like, about five shades darker than his body.
Rod, for me, is failing this week once again.
I specifically said to him, "you have to change the anatomy of this character because it's the same person we've seen every single time.
" All right, let's move on to Derek and Sarah.
There's nothing happening on the female character.
I didn't care for the wee eye patch that is wood grain that has no means of attachment.
Yeah.
It would have looked badass-- one spike right through the middle of it.
It tells a story, where you're like, "oh, my God, that's how it's stuck into her head?" I was looking for anything that told me there was a reason it was glued on.
My issue wasn't with her as much as with him.
He reads as, "hey, I came from the depths of hell.
" More monster-ish.
This makeup was as muddy as it gets.
Yep.
Okay, judges, have you made your decisions? - Yes.
- I believe we have.
- Let's bring them back out.
- Yeah.
Okay, Glenn, tell us about the top teams.
Our top teams tonight are Gloria and Tommy.
The Dynamite character was a bit of a mess, but Thorn was a really cool superhero and helped hold it through.
Alana and Roy Your makeups both successfully evoked the comic-book feel we were looking for this week.
All right, so which team came out on top? Our top team tonight is All right, so which team came out on top? Our top team tonight is Alana and Roy.
You guys did a lot of work this week, and you provided us with two very complete characters, not to mention it tied in really nicely with the car, which was a huge part of the challenge.
Well done.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you, guys.
Roy and Alana, great job.
But we can only have one winner.
So, Glenn Our winner tonight is Alana.
Your character really felt like she had stepped out of the pages of a comic book-- Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
This is the best makeup I've ever done, ever.
And I know how much Roy contributed to this as well.
But I could hear the hallelujah chorus.
I'm like, "Lord, take me now.
" Alana, congratulations.
You and Roy can head back to the makeup room.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Laura, Tommy, you are also safe this week.
You can head back to the makeup room.
- Thank you.
- Bye, Mr.
Smith.
Uh, Mr.
Smith is my father, sir, so Unfortunately, that means the rest of you are on the bottom this week.
One of you will be eliminated.
Please step forward.
All right, so, Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks.
Jason and Rod-- Poor sculpting, painting, prop design, decision making.
Not a whole lot was working for you.
Sarah and Derek-- We liked the overall concept, but we just weren't sure how you spent all of your time.
It felt like so much was missing.
So who's going home tonight? The person going home tonight is Jason.
Your sculpture just didn't represent your concept at all.
The painting wasn't realistic.
All right, thank you for the opportunity.
Jason, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
The rest of you are safe and can head back to the makeup room.
You know what, man? Forget these fools right here.
Come work for me, man.
We got some light makeup work that we can do some stuff on over at Smodco, if you want to.
Excellent.
Jason, it has been great having you here with us.
If you'll please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
Thank you, guys.
- Thank you.
- See you Monday, dude.
- Bring doughnuts! - Jelly? Yes! - All right.
- Look at me-- of course jelly.
I like that kid.
It's me.
Aw, I'm sorry.
I'm disappointed with the makeup that I just did, and if I could do it again, I'd do things differently.
It sucks to go home, but if anybody was gonna send me home, at least it was Kevin Smith.
The fact that I made it this far is cool.
So I'm gonna just keep on doing what I'm doing.
