This project was a culmination of my training—my final exam after completing my special effects makeup course. It was an opportunity to blend historical authenticity with creative artistry, crafting a Viking character that embodied the raw power, resilience, and warrior spirit of the era. Every detail, from the battle-worn scars to the weathered textures of the skin, was designed to bring this figure to life with realism and depth.

I am especially grateful to my SFX makeup teacher, Roman Kaboshko, who has dedicated his life to creating special effects and prosthetic makeup. His expertise, guidance, and passion for the craft have been instrumental in my growth as an artist. I am proud to have learned from such a master, and this Viking transformation stands as a testament to his teachings and my dedication to pushing the boundaries of makeup and character creation.
