Hello,  I'm Tim Baker,  I am a sculptor, makeup artist and specialty prop

All done with Shrek now... it went pretty quickly, had the molds prepped and had kept all the mixed colors and washes. Kinda fun job too, just wish they had wanted something slightly different, not exactly like the toy, then I could have added something at least.
