Hunger Games: Katniss Everdeen (Movie/Book Hybrid)

Background: I decided that I wanted to do a version of Katniss as she is at the end of the Hunger Games because I wanted to play with FX makeup. I was a little disappointed that she doesn’t get as battered in the movie as she does in the book, so I decided to put together a costume that combined the movie version of the costume with the injuries and events of the book.

In the end, I moved the leg burn from the thigh to the calf, added blood near my ear (she goes partially deaf in the book), and cropped the jacket (because hers catches fire and burns off.) The jacket was a lot of fun to weather and tear up–it was originally fairly long, and I cut it up and burned it and used other weathering techniques on it.

The FX makeup was a blast, too. My leg looked disgusting and I thought my head wound turned out pretty well, too. I wanted to make Tracker Jacket welts, but I ran out of time. 😦

So here are some pictures. All of them are by Jimmy Burns of Angry Dog Studios.
