Ep 8. Twisted Tales

In the eighth episode of season 1 of Face Off, titled "Twisted Tales," the remaining contestants are challenged to create a character based on classic fairy tales with a dark and twisted twist. The contestants will be judged on their ability to create an original and believable character that fits in with the twisted fairy tale theme.

The episode begins with the contestants meeting McKenzie Westmore and Michael Westmore, who explain the challenge and introduce them to their models. Each contestant is given a fairy tale to base their character on, ranging from Cinderella to Little Red Riding Hood. The contestants are also given a box of materials that they can use to create their character.

The contestants begin brainstorming and sketching out their designs. Some struggle with coming up with a unique twist on their assigned fairy tale, while others quickly come up with bold and creative ideas. Once they have a solid plan, the contestants start sculpting their designs using clay.

As the contestants work, McKenzie and Michael Westmore check in on their progress and offer advice and critiques. They encourage the contestants to push their boundaries and take risks with their designs.

Once the sculpting is finished, the contestants move on to casting their creations in foam. This is a critical part of the process, as it lays the foundation for the final makeup. The contestants must be careful to avoid any air bubbles or imperfections in the foam, which could compromise the final result.

Next, the contestants move on to painting their foam creations. This is where the characters really start to take shape, as the contestants carefully apply layers of color and shading to bring their designs to life.

Finally, the contestants add finishing touches such as hair, accessories, and prosthetic elements. The contestants put the final touches on their designs, striving to make their characters as impressive as possible.

Once the final makeup looks are complete, the judges arrive to critique the contestants' work. The judges are impressed by the creativity and boldness of the designs, but they are also quick to point out any flaws. They look for originality, attention to detail, and overall believability.

In the end, one contestant emerges as the winner of the challenge, while another is sent home. The remaining contestants continue on to the next challenge, one step closer to being named the winner of Face Off.
