Design plans

Image 1

For image 1 design plan it is based around the traditional image off the Green Man (figure 1) the design will focus mainly on the face with a prosthetic leaf beard and eyebrows that blend into and ivy frame around the head. (Figure 2). This image would be shot outside with a leaf background to give the illusion of the Green Man surround full in leaves. The main difficulty for this image would be to get the colour and detail right on the prosthetics to make the prosthetic look like real leaves, trial and errors would be conducted with water paints, grease paints and air brush.

Image 2

Image 2 design plan is based on the church version of the Green Man (figure 3), it focuses on how the Green Man can camouflage into backgrounds and is a sense of he is there but not. This image would be half body camouflage into a background with the Face designed like a church carving (figure 4) there would a church inspired carving frame around the face, this image would be used with fullers earth, body paint and airbrush.

Image 3

Image 3 design plan is inspired by the Green Woman tarot card (figure 5) this image would. Be half body paint with a style wig (Figure 6) this image would rely on the lights and gels from the photography room to get the different effects for the final image.

Image 4

Image 4 is the makeup artist own interpretation (figure 7) of the Green Man and Woman this is inspired by all versions of the Green Man. This image is a full character head to toe in prosthetics, body paint and airbrush. For this image a costume would be made to blend into the skin and look like it is part of the body.
