Brave New World - Human Hybrid

So when I typed in Human Hybrid into Google this image appeared

This above is a Woman slash some kind of Lizard, well that is what I think. You can see the key elements that make you think of Lizard is the skin texture - it looks like scales. Also her Face is very Lizard like, she doesn't have a nose and again she has scales all over her face. More apparent is the spikes sticking out her back. However what makes her human is her body shape and also her hair.

When I was looking for images of other Human Hybrids I tried thinking about films I'd watched that had Characters that were Human Hybrids.

Lord Voldemort - Human/Snake Hybrid

Voldemort is Half Snake and Human. As you can see there are subtle elements that make Lord Voldemort half snake, for example he doesn't have a nose, they had to create this in special effects after as there was no way of flattening the nose. His tongue if you look at the third image down his tongue is the same as a snakes.

The dotes on his face helped to digitally flatten his 
nose and create the slits without Prosthetic's.





When they were creating the Make up and SFX for Lord Voldemort originally his character had Red eyes however they decided later on that this would take away the expression from his eyes. Costume designer Jany Temime made his costume very light and slight skin like, she created lots layers of silk that helped to make the cloak look like it was floating (made him seem like a spirit) When it came to nose part which made the whole character look part snake part human they weren't able to do it with Prosthetic so they ended up doing it digitally. They digitally flattened his nose in order to replicate the look of a snakes nose and created slits on either side of his nose. They covered him in tattoo transfers to create the look of veins all over his body and head. Ralph Fiennes didn't want to be covered in makeup as he wanted to feel free, he had some prosthetic's above the eyebrows to block them out. He shaved off his hair completely in order not to wear a bald cap
