Innsmouth Inhabitant
Creature Design | Silicone Prosthetic | 2023
This Innsmouth inhabitant is inspired by the short story written by H.P. Lovecraft (The Shadow over Innsmouth), in which most of its residents suffer from physical anomalies that make them unwelcome to the surrounding population.
The concept, sculpture, and silicone casting of the prosthesis were completed over four weeks, under the supervision of Micka Arasco (FX artist). The application and makeup, which required four hours of work, were done with the assistance of Maryse Kanarellis (makeup artist).
There certainly is a strange kind of streak in the Innsmouth folks today—I don’t know how to explain it, but it sort of makes you crawl.
