tutorial on something under the skin?

Ha ha this is probably why I'm having a hard time finding anything- I'm having a hard time describing it! It looks like you have something under your skin, like robot bits, spiderman or superman, and the skin is ripped open around it. I've seen it a lot, and I've even seen tattoos of it. If anyone can give me a name, point me at pictures, or head me to a tutorial or SBS, I would appreciate it!

Try this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpcHudlG-b4
Also google terminator face paint. Hope this is what you are looking for.

My Mr Daizy loves things ripping through skin... he has this http://www.facepaintforum.com/t5680p15-post-submissions-here from a few months ago.. I think there are more pics in the thread later on....

OOOH! How on earth did I miss that one. Tell Mr. Daizy that his design is awesome!

I love doing this look & actually got to do a wolfe brothers pumpkin on my son in 2010 (I may get to paint him 1xper year:-)


The trick for these is to make a wash of black paint(so it's very watery looking... like water color paints) & shade the edge of the design. You can also enhance the edge by adding a blood colored edge.
