Face Off (2011) s04e02 Episode Script
Heroic Proportions
Previously on Face Off Anthony swept the competition, winning both the foundation and spotlight challenges.
- Anthony.
- Thank you so much.
And Troy was the first artist sent home.
Now 13 artists remain.
Tonight, they'll take on a legendary genre.
- Welcome to Comic-Con.
- Wow! The pressure rises as they tackle their first individual challenge.
- This mask is pissing me off.
- Fuck.
Oh, my God, what did I make? Fuck.
- I don't know what to do.
I'm going home.
- Turn around, please.
- Oh, my God.
- Blowout.
What's happened to you? It was a huge waste of time.
- I really enjoyed this piece.
- That's quite genius.
In the end, only one will win the opportunity to be a guest lecturer at Make Up For Ever's academies in New York and Paris, the all new 2013 Fiat 500 and $100,000.
Who will be the next great name in movie magic? Welcome to Face Off.
- Morning.
- Eric.
Morning.
We're all standing around the breakfast table, chit-chatting.
Hey, guys, check it out.
I look over in the corner, and there's-- it looks like a letter.
"Good morning, artists, please grab a ticket and come join me in San Diego for Comic-Con.
" No way! Awesome! Comic-Con is a circus of comic book, fantasy, science-fiction, horror movie geeks, man.
- Oh, my God.
- It's all there.
We're going to Comic-Con.
I've dreamt of going to Comic-Con every day since the day I was born.
Right here.
Here we go.
Come on.
All of us love movies and pop culture and comic books, and to be able to go to the biggest celebration of that is awesome.
Welcome to San Diego and one of the world's biggest pop culture conventions, Comic-Con.
It's here that superheroes jump off the pages and onto the silver screen.
That's why we're here today.
Your spotlight challenge is to create an original superhero.
Whoo! I know it's not easy these days to come up with a completely new and original character, so that's why these guys are here.
They are two of the biggest names in comic books and co-publishers of world-famous DC Entertainment.
First, we have the man who spearheaded best-selling titles like Blackest Night, Green Lantern, All-Star Superman, and All-Star Batman.
Please welcome Dan Didio.
Hey, guys.
And next to him is a world-renowned comic book artist whose work includes Justice league, All-Star Batman & Robin, Batman Hush, and Superman For Tomorrow.
Please say hello to Jim Lee.
Hey, guys.
I just want to scream.
Jim Lee's one of my artistic heroes.
I'm just trying to hold it all in.
What advice do you have for these guys today? Well, if you look at superheroes, they really reflect the era that they come from.
Also, think about the colors.
If you look at all your main, powerful, iconic characters, they tend to have primary colors of the color palette, right? Red, blue, and yellow.
So start thinking about that.
Also, you've got to look at the character's silhouettes.
Look at the powers of the characters and how do those powers relate to the way the character looks? I'm nervous about this, because comics are definitely a genre that I'm not familiar with.
Since we heard you're gonna be creating new characters, we decided to bring some of DC's top artists to you and give you a hand helping come up with the sketches and the designs for these characters.
- Whoo! - Whoo! I can't wait to collaborate with DC artists.
They definitely will know their stuff when it comes to superheroes.
Before you guys get started on your sketches, Jim and Dan have a surprise for you that they'd like to share.
We're very pleased to announce that the winning character will appear in an upcoming DC comic book.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, wow.
That's so cool.
My daughter loves superheroes, so I would love to do this really great superhero for her.
All right, everybody, go ahead and get started.
I'm paired with Jim Lee, and it's just so incredibly exciting.
I feel like this is all a dream.
My father is my hero, and I think in-- in my character, whatever I create, I want it to reflect families.
My superhero is based off of my father, a hardworking man in a biochemical factory.
What about if he has some-- like, those tubes, those oxygen tubes, like-- right? Like, kind of come out to the side kind of thing? - That would be really neat.
- Okay.
She's gonna say, "By the power of Ra" - Okay.
- "I'm Mercury Ray.
" My concept is a flashback character from the 1970s.
If you're thinking of the belt extending down, whether this-- - I want to go down to, like, here.
Okay.
Punk rock? - Absolutely.
- Cyborg woman.
- Yeah.
- Sexy.
My concept is robot girl, a kick-ass cyborg chick.
And she will kill you.
So watch out, bad guys.
I'm trying to think of a character who is trying to kind of redeem himself.
Okay.
My first instinct is to go with a lava character.
Texturally, do something shiny here, like volcanic rock.
- Like, you know? - Okay.
My thinking is, stay away from a costume and go with a suit that's actually a living part of him.
Maybe, like, the force comes out of his hands.
Yeah.
I'm traditionally a horror artist.
Yeah.
But the character I'd like to do is a '40s, Dick Tracy type look.
Okay, yeah.
What you want to be thinking about is, what is the context of this character? Are they in a vintage, '40s metropolis kind of city? Something like that.
The character I was thinking of is somewhat of an antihero.
My concept is Elijah, Bringer of Plagues.
He's one of the sons of one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Oh, okay.
He controls all the sickness, plagues.
That's what he has dominion over.
I think I'm gonna keep it where it's very, kind of, like, pale and white.
But then I'm gonna come in with these blue washes in the darker areas, and they'll really bring the blue into it.
- Right.
- Yeah.
My superhero's name is Solarion.
He protects Earth, and he's very muscle-bound.
It's time to go to the lab.
I have Tony's sketch, and that is Robot Girl.
And I can't wait to bring her to life.
Thank you, guys.
You guys are all awesome, by the way.
Side by side once again, girl.
It's day one of our challenge, and I'm really excited.
Mine is called Freedom Fighter.
He is derived from the Twin Towers.
And I'm gonna have two of the Twin Towers here and also on the leg piece, and he protects New York City.
I want to really stick to the drawing, and I need to just get this sculpt out.
That's it.
My character is Revolt.
He's kind of just a regular, punk-rock dude, but he has the power to shoot electricity out of his fingers.
And he's still very much a person.
For my superhero, I decided to go with a time traveler from another world.
He has mental powers.
I want bold colors, also a lot of shading and highlighting.
My dude's a cop.
I'm giving him a little gut.
Everybody else is all ripped.
- It's looking like a cat.
- Yeah, it does look like a cat.
Maybe it's one of the Thundercats.
Get away.
This is really nerve-wracking.
I look around, and I see a lot of strong sculpts.
And everyone's moving so fast that I'm cutting corners trying to keep up with them.
That's messing me up big-time, 'cause I keep sculpting a cat robot.
God, what is wrong with me? The sculpt is the worst sculpt in the room.
I don't know what to do at this point.
Oh, my God, what did I make? This looks like shit.
Coming up I'm having a very hard time putting these pieces together.
They're not fitting properly.
Fuck! Ugh, this mask is pissing me off.
That's quite genius.
It was a huge waste of time for you this week.
It's day one, and my sculpt looks really bad.
It looks terrible.
I can't stand it.
I keep sculpting a cat robot, and I want a freedom fighter.
So I'm kind of getting frustrated at this point.
I thinned out my superhero's nose a little bit, 'cause a lot of comic book characters have a very thin nose.
I'm also strengthening up his jaw.
Just making him look bigger, because I know that that has to all tie in with the muscle suit.
Yeah, that's good.
What's your color scheme gonna be? My superhero is made out of big, sharp pieces of glass.
Glasses from the building all, like, break down and flying towards to him and makes his costume.
Everyone's pieces are already so epic.
I'm just making a face.
I was not expecting a individual challenge so early on in the competition.
I just hope I stack up with everyone else.
My concept is gonna be an underwater female superhero.
She's going to have the whole nine yards, like, gills and huge octopus tentacles coming out of her head and scales all over her body.
I'm still trying to figure out my sculpt, but it's not working.
Just try to finish it today.
No, I'm getting this done.
I'm asking everyone's opinion.
I'd say just try evening out - The corners.
- the points.
I want to cry right now, but I can't let this defeat me.
I spent a little more time sculpting this chest piece than I had planned to.
I'm really trying to stylize the muscle patterns of the torso and the chest.
For me, it is the most important piece for this character.
Anthony's sculpting a chest and back piece.
The mold's probably gonna weigh 200 pounds.
It's kind of crazy.
My character's gonna be wearing a mask that's supposed to resemble an old plague doctor, where they have the long nose.
That's where they used to stick the incense in, so they wouldn't smell any of the death or anything that stunk.
The incense would block all of that.
Still looking good.
What do you think about the mask underneath? I've come up with this character and her name is Silversight.
She is an animal conservationist/biologist.
I want her to be beautiful and strong, kind of like Wonder Woman with wings.
I think that's gonna be cool.
It'll be, like-- like, a lot of dimension.
- Yeah, yeah.
- A lot of layers.
That's my hope.
I'll finish this up, and I'll be getting ready to mold both of these things.
After the sculpture's finished, you need to make a mold of it.
You make a mold out of a stone-like substance; you de-mold it, clean the clay out; and then you fill it with gelatin, silicone, foam; and then you push the two pieces back together and you get a nice appliance.
There we go.
It was missing a jaw.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, I've been staring at this like, "what's wrong with it?" It's the jaw.
There's a lot more to be done, but now I'm okay.
I like the way it looks now.
As the day goes on, I started getting worried about time.
I don't have my mask done.
And I don't want to be in the bottom looks, just 'cause I was there last week.
And having two back-to-back bottom looks is not great.
Time! That's time.
At the end of the day, I feel like I'm in a pretty good place.
I'm a little nervous that mine is really super simple compared to some other people's.
I'm just hoping that the rest of the costume pieces come together and everything works out.
Oh, thank you.
It's day two in the superhero challenge.
Today, I have to get done the armor and the helmet, which I know is gonna take up a huge chunk of the day.
Oh, that's cleaning out really nice.
I'm trying to think outside the box on this one, so what I want to do is expose the human anatomy using clear domes, as well as have the lungs actually function.
- Pretty cool? - Yeah, it looks good.
Today, my primary thing is making my wings.
So I need rods, poles, wire to build the actual shape.
And I need feathers for this as well.
Nice, dude.
Alam's making these big glass shards, and it looks scary.
Those staying on? If it doesn't, I'm gonna kill myself.
I'm worried.
I have to make all these spiky things on the back.
It's really hard, because I don't know the materials well.
Oh, you fucker.
I don't know how you did all this.
I really don't.
It's not done yet, man.
I'm still working on my mask and I'm not happy with it at all.
Every cut, every fold I make just creates a new problem.
It's frustrating, 'cause I'm wasting so much time that I can't afford.
Ugh, this mask is pissing me off.
It's just not looking right.
It's still just looking like a block.
I'm not confident that it's gonna pull everything together like I want it.
I'm not feeling it anymore.
I start working on my silicon make up.
The silicon I'm working with kicks off a little faster.
That's not gonna work.
It's a complete failure.
It's too thick.
I start scrapping silicon off like a mad man.
A possible elimination I ran over, uh, just trying to help anyway that I can.
God, please! I'm worried.
This is what I get for trying to go creative.
Finally, I decide to go with foam latex and it turned out beautiful.
Awesome! We're getting towards the end of the day, and I know I still need a mask.
This mask is pissing me off.
I'm looking around in the lab when I see a spandex cowl.
This is gonna be the best bet.
I've worked with stuff like this where you make sock masks.
I'm going back to my old haunted house roots.
I feel that this is the direction I want to go.
And I'm going to cut foam eyes, put some of the detail, and then make a nose.
How much time we got left? Right now, I'm running very behind.
I have to mold the chest and back pieces.
There is that thought in my mind that I am going too big.
My character has a mask that he wears when he becomes Revolt.
And it's supposed to look a little homemade because I want everything to look as if my character made it.
I want top looks for every character.
This one particular, she's very dear to my heart.
I think she has a different style to her.
Instead of the traditional comic book hero, mine is leaning more towards Japanese anime.
The mask finally starts to come together, and now it's starting to resemble an old plague doctor.
I'm actually liking the direction it's starting to take.
Time's up, everybody.
Put your stuff down.
There's not enough time to finish the chest.
So tomorrow, I have to open my mold, clean out all the clay, get a casting of my torso piece, apply all these pieces, paint all these pieces, and have a finished piece for the judges.
It's showtime.
It's application day, and I only have four hours, and I'm getting a little bit nervous just because there is a ton of stuff that I still have to do.
I still have to finish my tentacles and my chest pieces.
The first thing I have to do is open my mold, get it cleaned out, and fill that with foam.
Since I got a little bit of extra time today, I really want to focus on a prop.
So I decide to make this bizarre-looking blaster gun for my character, and it's coming out sweet.
You can make yourself comfortable.
You're gonna be a time traveler superhero.
That's her, like, whole costume look.
My model, Jenny, has a beautiful head of hair, and getting that all tucked in to the appliance is really my biggest challenge.
It'll be kind of like a-- more of an anime flop mohawk.
I have so much to do.
I have to get the face on.
I've got to get the helmet on, the chest piece on.
And I'm pre-painting everything.
All right, sir.
You can go ahead and modify this, and I'll doctor it up real quick.
I feel like I'm in a pretty good place.
All my pieces are done.
I just have to apply them.
Some people are still running pieces.
The application is really tight.
I have to make the most important element of my character, which is the chest and back piece, but I'm having a very hard time putting these pieces together.
They're not fitting properly.
The core is sticking out slightly.
I'm, like, pounding this thing to get it down, but it's not going down.
Hopefully, I'll be okay.
I'm just gonna glue these on the side.
- Are you gonna paint me here? - Yeah.
I'm thrilled about how everything's coming together.
It looks beautiful.
She looks like a phoenix.
And I'm feeling pretty good.
We're not going home.
Turn.
Everything fits him, even the shoulder piece.
I actually rigged lights through it.
I'm struggling with the back piece right now.
No.
It doesn't want to stay on.
Maybe I'm using, like, wrong glue.
It's not strong enough.
Oh.
I think the back piece might be too heavy.
Kind of worrying.
I'll be right back.
I run to go check on the mold and pry it open.
I'm having a hard time because of the suction that's inside that mold.
Fuck! I end up smashing one of my fingers.
Fuck! I'm not able to open this mold by myself, and everybody's so engrossed.
I don't want to take them away with what they have to do.
Fuck it.
I'm not gonna have a chest piece for this character, and it's time to go with plan B.
One hour, guys! I do not feel good about this situation, 'cause the whole concept of calling him the core really relies on his chest.
And now I have to have this character standing up there with an incomplete makeup.
Time! Coming up.
I'm freaking out now.
I just don't know what to say about this.
And I really dug that.
It is just not good enough.
Last looks.
We have one hour.
The only thing remaining now is just finishing her face makeup.
Oh, dang it.
My superhero came into the makeup room with the back piece on his hand.
I don't know what to do.
It's supposed to stick on his back.
I'm freaking out now.
We're gonna do tape again.
I'm sorry.
The velcro came off the arm pieces, so I have to duct tape it.
I had a little trouble around the sides, but I believe I've left myself enough time to get everything complete.
I'm dying about that chest piece, man! When you walk, not try to move.
Time! Welcome to the Face Off reveal stage.
Tonight, one of you will be eliminated.
Say hello to your judges.
Owner of Optic Nerve Makeup Effect Studio, Glenn Hetrick.
- Good evening.
- Hi, Glenn.
Three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist Ve Neill.
- Good evening, everybody.
- Good evening.
Hi.
And creature and concept designer Neville Page.
- Hello, everyone.
- Hello.
This week, your spotlight challenge was to create an original superhero.
And we have a big prize on the line.
The winner's character will be featured in an upcoming DC comic.
First up is Michael's superhero.
Just seeing it up there, it's my baby.
That's my boy.
I'm really proud.
I'm a little worried.
I know this is a makeup competition, but this being a superhero challenge, I probably should have spent a little more time on the costume.
I'm pretty scared at this moment, just because it's, once again, not a finished paint job.
I'm extremely nervous and just wishing that the judges could have seen it complete with the chest piece.
I feel awful.
It's a disaster.
I feel like I'm definitely in bottom looks.
She's sexy.
A little bit gory.
I think it's impressive.
Totally looks like a superhero.
Her panties are on the outside.
She got a cape.
Man, she's looking like something DC could really use right now.
I love the superhero image that I made.
No one knows it's not completed, because they're not seeing my mistakes.
I just love how the lights are hitting her.
And it's really shining and throwing this wet look over her.
She looks powerful and awesome.
And her colors are just so amazing.
I think she looks great.
I know that he's not really Glenn's kind of style.
I just hope that they like him.
I'm feeling pretty good, and it's a character that I would love to see walking around on the pages of DC comics.
He comes out in full character, and I'm loving it.
Judges, why don't you take a closer look.
Does this come off? Or can you push it up? I'm a little worried when they lifted up the mask 'cause he's sweating under there, so I know that paint is starting to run on his face.
The one thing I was wondering about, the squareness of this and the fact that it was in front of a Mayan temple.
More bird God, less plague doctor.
Can you lean down so we can see the very top? I wonder why that's green and yellow up there.
It's a cool idea to go with this snake-head-y thing on top of the lava and the cracks in the paint job.
Good God almighty.
Can you just lift your chin up? Dude, just walk away from him.
There's something sort of cool about all of these steps in this neck piece and the lighting.
Other than that, I just don't know what else to say about this.
As sloppy as everything is, it feels most superhero of them all.
Can you turn around for us? Please don't make him turn around.
- Oh, my God.
- Blowout.
There was a big, giant hole on his back and there's big, giant hole in my heart.
I'm going home.
What do you think of tonight's designs? Tell us on Twitter using #FaceOff Uh-oh.
- Oh, my God.
- Blowout.
What's happened to you? There was a big, giant hole on his back.
I'm going home.
Okay.
This is cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The judges have scored your creations.
Let's find out what they thought.
Katie, House, Eric F, Meagan, Anthony, Michael.
You were the best and the worst this week.
That means the rest of you are safe and can head back to the makeup room.
All right, the judges would like to speak with each of you to learn more about your work.
House, you're up first.
Please begin by telling us the backstory of the character.
This is Robot Girl.
She was a pro fighter in the future.
And she left the lab to strike revenge on those who wronged her.
I think this is extremely unconventional.
And it's risky to do that, and I think you succeeded.
I actually liked it a lot better close up than I did from far away, because I realized that it wasn't really bloody.
It's just the under-skin of what we see.
What I'm seeing is something that's more horror than superhero.
To me, it reads a little more science-fiction, Japanese hero, and this really speaks to me.
House, thank you very much.
If you'll please step back.
Meagan, you're up.
Okay, Meagan, what's your backstory on your superhero? I basically wanted to make him out of the metal from the Twin Towers.
Is that what these pieces on his arms are? Yeah, it was glued down, but it fell off, so They look like TV controls with gaffer's tape around them.
Okay.
I'm really concerned about your sculpting efforts on this face piece because it's really terribly, terribly rough.
You could've sculpted planes and hard angles and stuff and put rivets in it.
That said, the neck thing is cool.
- I see what you were going for, it just didn't work out.
- Okay.
Meagan, thank you very much.
Please step back.
Eric F.
Explain the concept behind this.
Detective Dick Gritty was left for dead by the evil crime syndicate.
His body was brought back from the brink of death to seek vengeance on the people that did him wrong.
It's such an entertaining piece.
And how tight it is underneath that acrylic chest plate, in terms of your anatomical prowess.
I'm really, really pleased about that.
When he walked out, I immediately felt like I was in a 1940s movie.
And I really dug that.
- Thank you guys so much.
- Eric, please step back.
Michael.
Tell us about the backstory of your character, if you would.
His name's Elijah, Bringer Of Plagues.
He sucks in any type of plague, and he would spew it out of his mouth, inject it back into a villain, destroying him that way.
Am I to assume that the shape of the mask is based on a traditional plague doctor? Yes.
Unfortunately, I don't think you were very successful in achieving that look with that mask.
This was the third version of the mask, and it wasn't the best of ideas.
It's a simple shape, and you could have made it so cool.
When I look at this, I wonder, "what the hell did he do the whole time?" There is nothing there but a costume and some rags and a goofy little mask with a snout on it.
I think it was a huge waste of time for you this week.
Michael, please step back.
Anthony.
Tell us about your guy, and I want to hear his backstory.
He's from the Earth's core, and he eliminates all the people who are destroying the planet.
He initially had a full chest piece - and a back piece.
- Uh-huh.
But I was having a hard time getting it out of the mold and decided to abandon it and go to plan B.
We've had several characters with this theme, this cracking lava-type theme.
Yours is the first one that's been successful.
I really like this guy.
He actually, for me, is like a full-blown-looking superhero.
I think you turned lemons to lemonade with the problem that happened with your front piece and back piece and ironically created a strong silhouette.
The sculpture on the head is quite amazing because it's partially a makeup, partially a cowl.
That's quite genius.
I absolutely adore the way the colors come up the arms, and then you follow this exact same scheme on the face.
That puts it all together.
Well done.
Thanks so much.
Anthony, thank you very much.
Please step back.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Katie.
Katie, explain the concept of Revolt.
I wanted to create a vigilante, homemade hero.
Punk-rock superman.
Would you mind taking the mask off so we can see the sculpt underneath? I fear that you're not as well-versed at anatomy as you need to be.
There are some very arbitrary shapes that are happening.
They don't make him look more heroic or more menacing.
They make him look more deformed.
That juggalo tiki mask that he's got to cover his face looks like it belongs at a Halloween frat party.
It is just not good enough.
Katie, please step back.
All right, the judges have heard what you have to say.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room while they make their decisions.
So why don't we start with the looks that you liked the most.
How about we start with Anthony.
The gradation of the paint really saved it.
Yeah, excellent.
I love the way the black just-- it looks like the perfect cowl mask.
But it's all integrated into the makeup.
That center split with the color going down was another graphic piece that just made it a bit more unique.
Let's move on to House.
What are your thoughts? He did all of these super-cool metallic tones, and it took it away from the blood and gore and viscera and more into the cybernetic human.
All that golden metallic gave it a really beautiful, cohesive, exposed muscle tissue look, and it was kind of cool.
Let's move on to Eric.
It's a big success to me, mainly because it compels the audience to say, "what the hell happened to this guy?" Yeah.
And that is probably the single most important thing in designing a superhero.
And the fact that he was smart enough to have him come out with the scarf and the hat - and do that whole '40s thing.
- Excellent.
Okay, let's move on to the looks you did not like so much.
Michael.
I didn't agree with the fact that he's a superhero.
It is unacceptable to present a fabricated mask as the main piece of your character.
It isn't even a full makeup.
Nothing about it succeeds.
All right, let's move on to Meagan.
I am so disappointed in that.
When you see sculpting like that, I have grave concern for what we can expect to see out of her in the coming weeks.
The tape-- she actually presented something with-- - Duct taped arms.
- And it wasn't thematic.
All right, Katie.
What are your thoughts there? - The outer mask was wretched.
- It's frightening.
I can't believe she sculpted that.
She needs to learn how to appropriate her time into things that are going to make sense and be seen.
Judges, have you made your decisions? - Yes, we have.
- Yeah, we have.
Let's bring them back out tut then.
All right, Glenn, why don't you tell us about the top looks tonight.
Anthony.
Some really nice, classic superhero elements to your character.
And you did a really splendid, graduated paint job on the makeup itself.
House.
We thought that your infusion of the Japanese aesthetic into the makeup was incredibly successful.
And Eric.
You really went for it this week, and it paid off in what was a very, very complete character.
All right, Glenn, who is the winner of this challenge and the DC comics prize? Tonight's winner is All right, Glenn, who is the winner of this challenge and the DC comics prize? Tonight's winner is Anthony.
Oh, my God.
You did a lot of things right tonight, but we were particularly impressed with the sculpture of your character's head.
Very, very strong work.
Thank you, guys.
It really means so much.
Anthony, congratulations.
Your superhero will be featured in a DC comic.
Awesome.
To be in a DC comic with a character that I designed myself is just surreal.
I can't wait to see it.
Thank you very much.
You can head back to the makeup room.
Thanks, guys.
House and Eric, you are also safe.
Please head back to the makeup room.
- Thank you, guys.
- Thank you, guys.
Good job.
Unfortunately, that means the rest of you are on the bottom this week.
One of you will be eliminated.
Please step to the center.
This is scary.
All right, Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks.
Michael, you really squandered your time, and as a result, we didn't really see your concept in the final piece.
Meagan, your facial sculpt did not seem like it belonged with the rest of your character.
Katie, you spent a lot of time working on things that just made your character look haphazard.
So who's going home tonight? The person going home tonight is Michael.
You made so many bad decisions tonight, and ultimately, you just didn't give us any makeup to look at.
Michael, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
The rest of you are safe and can head back to the makeup room.
You're obviously full of creativity.
I, for one, would love to see what else you come up with.
Michael, it has been great having you here with us.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
- Good luck.
- Good luck.
I bid you all a farewell, adieu.
- No.
- Oh, oh, no! This experience is a milestone in my career.
I feel more confident in what my abilities are.
Aw! I'm very optimistic.
There's so manings to do now.
I get to go home, practice, and hone skills.
My future's not written.
- Anthony.
- Thank you so much.
And Troy was the first artist sent home.
Now 13 artists remain.
Tonight, they'll take on a legendary genre.
- Welcome to Comic-Con.
- Wow! The pressure rises as they tackle their first individual challenge.
- This mask is pissing me off.
- Fuck.
Oh, my God, what did I make? Fuck.
- I don't know what to do.
I'm going home.
- Turn around, please.
- Oh, my God.
- Blowout.
What's happened to you? It was a huge waste of time.
- I really enjoyed this piece.
- That's quite genius.
In the end, only one will win the opportunity to be a guest lecturer at Make Up For Ever's academies in New York and Paris, the all new 2013 Fiat 500 and $100,000.
Who will be the next great name in movie magic? Welcome to Face Off.
- Morning.
- Eric.
Morning.
We're all standing around the breakfast table, chit-chatting.
Hey, guys, check it out.
I look over in the corner, and there's-- it looks like a letter.
"Good morning, artists, please grab a ticket and come join me in San Diego for Comic-Con.
" No way! Awesome! Comic-Con is a circus of comic book, fantasy, science-fiction, horror movie geeks, man.
- Oh, my God.
- It's all there.
We're going to Comic-Con.
I've dreamt of going to Comic-Con every day since the day I was born.
Right here.
Here we go.
Come on.
All of us love movies and pop culture and comic books, and to be able to go to the biggest celebration of that is awesome.
Welcome to San Diego and one of the world's biggest pop culture conventions, Comic-Con.
It's here that superheroes jump off the pages and onto the silver screen.
That's why we're here today.
Your spotlight challenge is to create an original superhero.
Whoo! I know it's not easy these days to come up with a completely new and original character, so that's why these guys are here.
They are two of the biggest names in comic books and co-publishers of world-famous DC Entertainment.
First, we have the man who spearheaded best-selling titles like Blackest Night, Green Lantern, All-Star Superman, and All-Star Batman.
Please welcome Dan Didio.
Hey, guys.
And next to him is a world-renowned comic book artist whose work includes Justice league, All-Star Batman & Robin, Batman Hush, and Superman For Tomorrow.
Please say hello to Jim Lee.
Hey, guys.
I just want to scream.
Jim Lee's one of my artistic heroes.
I'm just trying to hold it all in.
What advice do you have for these guys today? Well, if you look at superheroes, they really reflect the era that they come from.
Also, think about the colors.
If you look at all your main, powerful, iconic characters, they tend to have primary colors of the color palette, right? Red, blue, and yellow.
So start thinking about that.
Also, you've got to look at the character's silhouettes.
Look at the powers of the characters and how do those powers relate to the way the character looks? I'm nervous about this, because comics are definitely a genre that I'm not familiar with.
Since we heard you're gonna be creating new characters, we decided to bring some of DC's top artists to you and give you a hand helping come up with the sketches and the designs for these characters.
- Whoo! - Whoo! I can't wait to collaborate with DC artists.
They definitely will know their stuff when it comes to superheroes.
Before you guys get started on your sketches, Jim and Dan have a surprise for you that they'd like to share.
We're very pleased to announce that the winning character will appear in an upcoming DC comic book.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, wow.
That's so cool.
My daughter loves superheroes, so I would love to do this really great superhero for her.
All right, everybody, go ahead and get started.
I'm paired with Jim Lee, and it's just so incredibly exciting.
I feel like this is all a dream.
My father is my hero, and I think in-- in my character, whatever I create, I want it to reflect families.
My superhero is based off of my father, a hardworking man in a biochemical factory.
What about if he has some-- like, those tubes, those oxygen tubes, like-- right? Like, kind of come out to the side kind of thing? - That would be really neat.
- Okay.
She's gonna say, "By the power of Ra" - Okay.
- "I'm Mercury Ray.
" My concept is a flashback character from the 1970s.
If you're thinking of the belt extending down, whether this-- - I want to go down to, like, here.
Okay.
Punk rock? - Absolutely.
- Cyborg woman.
- Yeah.
- Sexy.
My concept is robot girl, a kick-ass cyborg chick.
And she will kill you.
So watch out, bad guys.
I'm trying to think of a character who is trying to kind of redeem himself.
Okay.
My first instinct is to go with a lava character.
Texturally, do something shiny here, like volcanic rock.
- Like, you know? - Okay.
My thinking is, stay away from a costume and go with a suit that's actually a living part of him.
Maybe, like, the force comes out of his hands.
Yeah.
I'm traditionally a horror artist.
Yeah.
But the character I'd like to do is a '40s, Dick Tracy type look.
Okay, yeah.
What you want to be thinking about is, what is the context of this character? Are they in a vintage, '40s metropolis kind of city? Something like that.
The character I was thinking of is somewhat of an antihero.
My concept is Elijah, Bringer of Plagues.
He's one of the sons of one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Oh, okay.
He controls all the sickness, plagues.
That's what he has dominion over.
I think I'm gonna keep it where it's very, kind of, like, pale and white.
But then I'm gonna come in with these blue washes in the darker areas, and they'll really bring the blue into it.
- Right.
- Yeah.
My superhero's name is Solarion.
He protects Earth, and he's very muscle-bound.
It's time to go to the lab.
I have Tony's sketch, and that is Robot Girl.
And I can't wait to bring her to life.
Thank you, guys.
You guys are all awesome, by the way.
Side by side once again, girl.
It's day one of our challenge, and I'm really excited.
Mine is called Freedom Fighter.
He is derived from the Twin Towers.
And I'm gonna have two of the Twin Towers here and also on the leg piece, and he protects New York City.
I want to really stick to the drawing, and I need to just get this sculpt out.
That's it.
My character is Revolt.
He's kind of just a regular, punk-rock dude, but he has the power to shoot electricity out of his fingers.
And he's still very much a person.
For my superhero, I decided to go with a time traveler from another world.
He has mental powers.
I want bold colors, also a lot of shading and highlighting.
My dude's a cop.
I'm giving him a little gut.
Everybody else is all ripped.
- It's looking like a cat.
- Yeah, it does look like a cat.
Maybe it's one of the Thundercats.
Get away.
This is really nerve-wracking.
I look around, and I see a lot of strong sculpts.
And everyone's moving so fast that I'm cutting corners trying to keep up with them.
That's messing me up big-time, 'cause I keep sculpting a cat robot.
God, what is wrong with me? The sculpt is the worst sculpt in the room.
I don't know what to do at this point.
Oh, my God, what did I make? This looks like shit.
Coming up I'm having a very hard time putting these pieces together.
They're not fitting properly.
Fuck! Ugh, this mask is pissing me off.
That's quite genius.
It was a huge waste of time for you this week.
It's day one, and my sculpt looks really bad.
It looks terrible.
I can't stand it.
I keep sculpting a cat robot, and I want a freedom fighter.
So I'm kind of getting frustrated at this point.
I thinned out my superhero's nose a little bit, 'cause a lot of comic book characters have a very thin nose.
I'm also strengthening up his jaw.
Just making him look bigger, because I know that that has to all tie in with the muscle suit.
Yeah, that's good.
What's your color scheme gonna be? My superhero is made out of big, sharp pieces of glass.
Glasses from the building all, like, break down and flying towards to him and makes his costume.
Everyone's pieces are already so epic.
I'm just making a face.
I was not expecting a individual challenge so early on in the competition.
I just hope I stack up with everyone else.
My concept is gonna be an underwater female superhero.
She's going to have the whole nine yards, like, gills and huge octopus tentacles coming out of her head and scales all over her body.
I'm still trying to figure out my sculpt, but it's not working.
Just try to finish it today.
No, I'm getting this done.
I'm asking everyone's opinion.
I'd say just try evening out - The corners.
- the points.
I want to cry right now, but I can't let this defeat me.
I spent a little more time sculpting this chest piece than I had planned to.
I'm really trying to stylize the muscle patterns of the torso and the chest.
For me, it is the most important piece for this character.
Anthony's sculpting a chest and back piece.
The mold's probably gonna weigh 200 pounds.
It's kind of crazy.
My character's gonna be wearing a mask that's supposed to resemble an old plague doctor, where they have the long nose.
That's where they used to stick the incense in, so they wouldn't smell any of the death or anything that stunk.
The incense would block all of that.
Still looking good.
What do you think about the mask underneath? I've come up with this character and her name is Silversight.
She is an animal conservationist/biologist.
I want her to be beautiful and strong, kind of like Wonder Woman with wings.
I think that's gonna be cool.
It'll be, like-- like, a lot of dimension.
- Yeah, yeah.
- A lot of layers.
That's my hope.
I'll finish this up, and I'll be getting ready to mold both of these things.
After the sculpture's finished, you need to make a mold of it.
You make a mold out of a stone-like substance; you de-mold it, clean the clay out; and then you fill it with gelatin, silicone, foam; and then you push the two pieces back together and you get a nice appliance.
There we go.
It was missing a jaw.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, I've been staring at this like, "what's wrong with it?" It's the jaw.
There's a lot more to be done, but now I'm okay.
I like the way it looks now.
As the day goes on, I started getting worried about time.
I don't have my mask done.
And I don't want to be in the bottom looks, just 'cause I was there last week.
And having two back-to-back bottom looks is not great.
Time! That's time.
At the end of the day, I feel like I'm in a pretty good place.
I'm a little nervous that mine is really super simple compared to some other people's.
I'm just hoping that the rest of the costume pieces come together and everything works out.
Oh, thank you.
It's day two in the superhero challenge.
Today, I have to get done the armor and the helmet, which I know is gonna take up a huge chunk of the day.
Oh, that's cleaning out really nice.
I'm trying to think outside the box on this one, so what I want to do is expose the human anatomy using clear domes, as well as have the lungs actually function.
- Pretty cool? - Yeah, it looks good.
Today, my primary thing is making my wings.
So I need rods, poles, wire to build the actual shape.
And I need feathers for this as well.
Nice, dude.
Alam's making these big glass shards, and it looks scary.
Those staying on? If it doesn't, I'm gonna kill myself.
I'm worried.
I have to make all these spiky things on the back.
It's really hard, because I don't know the materials well.
Oh, you fucker.
I don't know how you did all this.
I really don't.
It's not done yet, man.
I'm still working on my mask and I'm not happy with it at all.
Every cut, every fold I make just creates a new problem.
It's frustrating, 'cause I'm wasting so much time that I can't afford.
Ugh, this mask is pissing me off.
It's just not looking right.
It's still just looking like a block.
I'm not confident that it's gonna pull everything together like I want it.
I'm not feeling it anymore.
I start working on my silicon make up.
The silicon I'm working with kicks off a little faster.
That's not gonna work.
It's a complete failure.
It's too thick.
I start scrapping silicon off like a mad man.
A possible elimination I ran over, uh, just trying to help anyway that I can.
God, please! I'm worried.
This is what I get for trying to go creative.
Finally, I decide to go with foam latex and it turned out beautiful.
Awesome! We're getting towards the end of the day, and I know I still need a mask.
This mask is pissing me off.
I'm looking around in the lab when I see a spandex cowl.
This is gonna be the best bet.
I've worked with stuff like this where you make sock masks.
I'm going back to my old haunted house roots.
I feel that this is the direction I want to go.
And I'm going to cut foam eyes, put some of the detail, and then make a nose.
How much time we got left? Right now, I'm running very behind.
I have to mold the chest and back pieces.
There is that thought in my mind that I am going too big.
My character has a mask that he wears when he becomes Revolt.
And it's supposed to look a little homemade because I want everything to look as if my character made it.
I want top looks for every character.
This one particular, she's very dear to my heart.
I think she has a different style to her.
Instead of the traditional comic book hero, mine is leaning more towards Japanese anime.
The mask finally starts to come together, and now it's starting to resemble an old plague doctor.
I'm actually liking the direction it's starting to take.
Time's up, everybody.
Put your stuff down.
There's not enough time to finish the chest.
So tomorrow, I have to open my mold, clean out all the clay, get a casting of my torso piece, apply all these pieces, paint all these pieces, and have a finished piece for the judges.
It's showtime.
It's application day, and I only have four hours, and I'm getting a little bit nervous just because there is a ton of stuff that I still have to do.
I still have to finish my tentacles and my chest pieces.
The first thing I have to do is open my mold, get it cleaned out, and fill that with foam.
Since I got a little bit of extra time today, I really want to focus on a prop.
So I decide to make this bizarre-looking blaster gun for my character, and it's coming out sweet.
You can make yourself comfortable.
You're gonna be a time traveler superhero.
That's her, like, whole costume look.
My model, Jenny, has a beautiful head of hair, and getting that all tucked in to the appliance is really my biggest challenge.
It'll be kind of like a-- more of an anime flop mohawk.
I have so much to do.
I have to get the face on.
I've got to get the helmet on, the chest piece on.
And I'm pre-painting everything.
All right, sir.
You can go ahead and modify this, and I'll doctor it up real quick.
I feel like I'm in a pretty good place.
All my pieces are done.
I just have to apply them.
Some people are still running pieces.
The application is really tight.
I have to make the most important element of my character, which is the chest and back piece, but I'm having a very hard time putting these pieces together.
They're not fitting properly.
The core is sticking out slightly.
I'm, like, pounding this thing to get it down, but it's not going down.
Hopefully, I'll be okay.
I'm just gonna glue these on the side.
- Are you gonna paint me here? - Yeah.
I'm thrilled about how everything's coming together.
It looks beautiful.
She looks like a phoenix.
And I'm feeling pretty good.
We're not going home.
Turn.
Everything fits him, even the shoulder piece.
I actually rigged lights through it.
I'm struggling with the back piece right now.
No.
It doesn't want to stay on.
Maybe I'm using, like, wrong glue.
It's not strong enough.
Oh.
I think the back piece might be too heavy.
Kind of worrying.
I'll be right back.
I run to go check on the mold and pry it open.
I'm having a hard time because of the suction that's inside that mold.
Fuck! I end up smashing one of my fingers.
Fuck! I'm not able to open this mold by myself, and everybody's so engrossed.
I don't want to take them away with what they have to do.
Fuck it.
I'm not gonna have a chest piece for this character, and it's time to go with plan B.
One hour, guys! I do not feel good about this situation, 'cause the whole concept of calling him the core really relies on his chest.
And now I have to have this character standing up there with an incomplete makeup.
Time! Coming up.
I'm freaking out now.
I just don't know what to say about this.
And I really dug that.
It is just not good enough.
Last looks.
We have one hour.
The only thing remaining now is just finishing her face makeup.
Oh, dang it.
My superhero came into the makeup room with the back piece on his hand.
I don't know what to do.
It's supposed to stick on his back.
I'm freaking out now.
We're gonna do tape again.
I'm sorry.
The velcro came off the arm pieces, so I have to duct tape it.
I had a little trouble around the sides, but I believe I've left myself enough time to get everything complete.
I'm dying about that chest piece, man! When you walk, not try to move.
Time! Welcome to the Face Off reveal stage.
Tonight, one of you will be eliminated.
Say hello to your judges.
Owner of Optic Nerve Makeup Effect Studio, Glenn Hetrick.
- Good evening.
- Hi, Glenn.
Three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist Ve Neill.
- Good evening, everybody.
- Good evening.
Hi.
And creature and concept designer Neville Page.
- Hello, everyone.
- Hello.
This week, your spotlight challenge was to create an original superhero.
And we have a big prize on the line.
The winner's character will be featured in an upcoming DC comic.
First up is Michael's superhero.
Just seeing it up there, it's my baby.
That's my boy.
I'm really proud.
I'm a little worried.
I know this is a makeup competition, but this being a superhero challenge, I probably should have spent a little more time on the costume.
I'm pretty scared at this moment, just because it's, once again, not a finished paint job.
I'm extremely nervous and just wishing that the judges could have seen it complete with the chest piece.
I feel awful.
It's a disaster.
I feel like I'm definitely in bottom looks.
She's sexy.
A little bit gory.
I think it's impressive.
Totally looks like a superhero.
Her panties are on the outside.
She got a cape.
Man, she's looking like something DC could really use right now.
I love the superhero image that I made.
No one knows it's not completed, because they're not seeing my mistakes.
I just love how the lights are hitting her.
And it's really shining and throwing this wet look over her.
She looks powerful and awesome.
And her colors are just so amazing.
I think she looks great.
I know that he's not really Glenn's kind of style.
I just hope that they like him.
I'm feeling pretty good, and it's a character that I would love to see walking around on the pages of DC comics.
He comes out in full character, and I'm loving it.
Judges, why don't you take a closer look.
Does this come off? Or can you push it up? I'm a little worried when they lifted up the mask 'cause he's sweating under there, so I know that paint is starting to run on his face.
The one thing I was wondering about, the squareness of this and the fact that it was in front of a Mayan temple.
More bird God, less plague doctor.
Can you lean down so we can see the very top? I wonder why that's green and yellow up there.
It's a cool idea to go with this snake-head-y thing on top of the lava and the cracks in the paint job.
Good God almighty.
Can you just lift your chin up? Dude, just walk away from him.
There's something sort of cool about all of these steps in this neck piece and the lighting.
Other than that, I just don't know what else to say about this.
As sloppy as everything is, it feels most superhero of them all.
Can you turn around for us? Please don't make him turn around.
- Oh, my God.
- Blowout.
There was a big, giant hole on his back and there's big, giant hole in my heart.
I'm going home.
What do you think of tonight's designs? Tell us on Twitter using #FaceOff Uh-oh.
- Oh, my God.
- Blowout.
What's happened to you? There was a big, giant hole on his back.
I'm going home.
Okay.
This is cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The judges have scored your creations.
Let's find out what they thought.
Katie, House, Eric F, Meagan, Anthony, Michael.
You were the best and the worst this week.
That means the rest of you are safe and can head back to the makeup room.
All right, the judges would like to speak with each of you to learn more about your work.
House, you're up first.
Please begin by telling us the backstory of the character.
This is Robot Girl.
She was a pro fighter in the future.
And she left the lab to strike revenge on those who wronged her.
I think this is extremely unconventional.
And it's risky to do that, and I think you succeeded.
I actually liked it a lot better close up than I did from far away, because I realized that it wasn't really bloody.
It's just the under-skin of what we see.
What I'm seeing is something that's more horror than superhero.
To me, it reads a little more science-fiction, Japanese hero, and this really speaks to me.
House, thank you very much.
If you'll please step back.
Meagan, you're up.
Okay, Meagan, what's your backstory on your superhero? I basically wanted to make him out of the metal from the Twin Towers.
Is that what these pieces on his arms are? Yeah, it was glued down, but it fell off, so They look like TV controls with gaffer's tape around them.
Okay.
I'm really concerned about your sculpting efforts on this face piece because it's really terribly, terribly rough.
You could've sculpted planes and hard angles and stuff and put rivets in it.
That said, the neck thing is cool.
- I see what you were going for, it just didn't work out.
- Okay.
Meagan, thank you very much.
Please step back.
Eric F.
Explain the concept behind this.
Detective Dick Gritty was left for dead by the evil crime syndicate.
His body was brought back from the brink of death to seek vengeance on the people that did him wrong.
It's such an entertaining piece.
And how tight it is underneath that acrylic chest plate, in terms of your anatomical prowess.
I'm really, really pleased about that.
When he walked out, I immediately felt like I was in a 1940s movie.
And I really dug that.
- Thank you guys so much.
- Eric, please step back.
Michael.
Tell us about the backstory of your character, if you would.
His name's Elijah, Bringer Of Plagues.
He sucks in any type of plague, and he would spew it out of his mouth, inject it back into a villain, destroying him that way.
Am I to assume that the shape of the mask is based on a traditional plague doctor? Yes.
Unfortunately, I don't think you were very successful in achieving that look with that mask.
This was the third version of the mask, and it wasn't the best of ideas.
It's a simple shape, and you could have made it so cool.
When I look at this, I wonder, "what the hell did he do the whole time?" There is nothing there but a costume and some rags and a goofy little mask with a snout on it.
I think it was a huge waste of time for you this week.
Michael, please step back.
Anthony.
Tell us about your guy, and I want to hear his backstory.
He's from the Earth's core, and he eliminates all the people who are destroying the planet.
He initially had a full chest piece - and a back piece.
- Uh-huh.
But I was having a hard time getting it out of the mold and decided to abandon it and go to plan B.
We've had several characters with this theme, this cracking lava-type theme.
Yours is the first one that's been successful.
I really like this guy.
He actually, for me, is like a full-blown-looking superhero.
I think you turned lemons to lemonade with the problem that happened with your front piece and back piece and ironically created a strong silhouette.
The sculpture on the head is quite amazing because it's partially a makeup, partially a cowl.
That's quite genius.
I absolutely adore the way the colors come up the arms, and then you follow this exact same scheme on the face.
That puts it all together.
Well done.
Thanks so much.
Anthony, thank you very much.
Please step back.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Katie.
Katie, explain the concept of Revolt.
I wanted to create a vigilante, homemade hero.
Punk-rock superman.
Would you mind taking the mask off so we can see the sculpt underneath? I fear that you're not as well-versed at anatomy as you need to be.
There are some very arbitrary shapes that are happening.
They don't make him look more heroic or more menacing.
They make him look more deformed.
That juggalo tiki mask that he's got to cover his face looks like it belongs at a Halloween frat party.
It is just not good enough.
Katie, please step back.
All right, the judges have heard what you have to say.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room while they make their decisions.
So why don't we start with the looks that you liked the most.
How about we start with Anthony.
The gradation of the paint really saved it.
Yeah, excellent.
I love the way the black just-- it looks like the perfect cowl mask.
But it's all integrated into the makeup.
That center split with the color going down was another graphic piece that just made it a bit more unique.
Let's move on to House.
What are your thoughts? He did all of these super-cool metallic tones, and it took it away from the blood and gore and viscera and more into the cybernetic human.
All that golden metallic gave it a really beautiful, cohesive, exposed muscle tissue look, and it was kind of cool.
Let's move on to Eric.
It's a big success to me, mainly because it compels the audience to say, "what the hell happened to this guy?" Yeah.
And that is probably the single most important thing in designing a superhero.
And the fact that he was smart enough to have him come out with the scarf and the hat - and do that whole '40s thing.
- Excellent.
Okay, let's move on to the looks you did not like so much.
Michael.
I didn't agree with the fact that he's a superhero.
It is unacceptable to present a fabricated mask as the main piece of your character.
It isn't even a full makeup.
Nothing about it succeeds.
All right, let's move on to Meagan.
I am so disappointed in that.
When you see sculpting like that, I have grave concern for what we can expect to see out of her in the coming weeks.
The tape-- she actually presented something with-- - Duct taped arms.
- And it wasn't thematic.
All right, Katie.
What are your thoughts there? - The outer mask was wretched.
- It's frightening.
I can't believe she sculpted that.
She needs to learn how to appropriate her time into things that are going to make sense and be seen.
Judges, have you made your decisions? - Yes, we have.
- Yeah, we have.
Let's bring them back out tut then.
All right, Glenn, why don't you tell us about the top looks tonight.
Anthony.
Some really nice, classic superhero elements to your character.
And you did a really splendid, graduated paint job on the makeup itself.
House.
We thought that your infusion of the Japanese aesthetic into the makeup was incredibly successful.
And Eric.
You really went for it this week, and it paid off in what was a very, very complete character.
All right, Glenn, who is the winner of this challenge and the DC comics prize? Tonight's winner is All right, Glenn, who is the winner of this challenge and the DC comics prize? Tonight's winner is Anthony.
Oh, my God.
You did a lot of things right tonight, but we were particularly impressed with the sculpture of your character's head.
Very, very strong work.
Thank you, guys.
It really means so much.
Anthony, congratulations.
Your superhero will be featured in a DC comic.
Awesome.
To be in a DC comic with a character that I designed myself is just surreal.
I can't wait to see it.
Thank you very much.
You can head back to the makeup room.
Thanks, guys.
House and Eric, you are also safe.
Please head back to the makeup room.
- Thank you, guys.
- Thank you, guys.
Good job.
Unfortunately, that means the rest of you are on the bottom this week.
One of you will be eliminated.
Please step to the center.
This is scary.
All right, Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks.
Michael, you really squandered your time, and as a result, we didn't really see your concept in the final piece.
Meagan, your facial sculpt did not seem like it belonged with the rest of your character.
Katie, you spent a lot of time working on things that just made your character look haphazard.
So who's going home tonight? The person going home tonight is Michael.
You made so many bad decisions tonight, and ultimately, you just didn't give us any makeup to look at.
Michael, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
The rest of you are safe and can head back to the makeup room.
You're obviously full of creativity.
I, for one, would love to see what else you come up with.
Michael, it has been great having you here with us.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
- Good luck.
- Good luck.
I bid you all a farewell, adieu.
- No.
- Oh, oh, no! This experience is a milestone in my career.
I feel more confident in what my abilities are.
Aw! I'm very optimistic.
There's so manings to do now.
I get to go home, practice, and hone skills.
My future's not written.
