Issue 16 Autumn 2019

£6.95

Journey to Westeros with our extended feature, but stop off on the way for swamps, floods, snap moulds, steampunk, lookalikes, fine art, museums, and extreme old age. Something for everyone in issue 16!

Look out for

  • Barrie Gower of BGFX on the juggernaut that was Game of Thrones, from delicate detail on the Children of the Forest to bulk burn effects and battle scenes
  • Joel Harlow talks extreme old age makeup effects creation techniques as he ages Zachary Quinto from his forties to 135. Look away now if you don’t like creepy nails and teeth…
  • Adrien Morot takes on Alexandre Aja’s alligators-in-a-hurricane-zone big-screen drama. Think popping bones, mattress-foam-based dogs, and plenty of gore. You can thank us later
