For this character inspired by the movie "The Mummy" (1999) I started by sculpting the mummy's face in Monster Clay Medium based on the previously taken model's face cast. The prosthesis consists of a single piece plus some elements such as eyes and nose that have been created and applied under it to simulate the now decomposed tissues. To create the prosthesis I used latex and cotton to reinforce some parts of the structure while the teeth were applied on the finish and created with acrylic powder. Beard and beetle (amulet) were sculpted in mouldable eva rubber and colored by hand to then be integrated into the character. The bandages were aged with various techniques to vary the visual and aesthetic effect while the prosthesis was colored with greasy colours. Below are some images of the sculpture created and of the making off of the mummy.
