I’m interested in hearing different techniques in adding nictitating membranes, besides using the artificial ones…I have heard of some using the real ones.

I have tried using the real ones and really didn’t like the finished look. Maybe I just didn’t know what I was doing:/ I have scuplted them out of Apoxie sculpt and they look ok just have never found something that looks real enough for me. Hopefully this will get some good feed back and help me also.

Good question. It would have to be very thin and very flexable. Ill try some apoxie paste and see what happens.

If it is just for commercial work, Mike has already used clear milk jugs or soda bottles and cut peices of them to shape since it is already slightly curved plactic and then fiinsh over them with paint and clear.
