How to Make Mermaid Gills | Halloween Special FX Series 2016

This tutorial from Madeyewlook walks viewers through creating realistic mermaid gill effects using sculpting wax and alcohol-activated paints. The look is built up in stages — shaping wax into gill slits, blending edges seamlessly into skin, then painting for a convincing aquatic texture and color. An optional blood paste step and a bent paper clip can be used to push the effect into darker, more dramatic territory for a 'hooked mermaid' concept.
