SHAAK TI - Creature Design and Prosthetic Appliance History

Shaak Ti's appearance was conceived by concept artists Dermot Power and Ian McCaig, who designed her as a Jedi in STAR WARS: Episode II Attack of the Clones.  Head of Creature Department Jason Baird and George Lucas, both approved the final paint design of the prosthetic, which i modified to make more wild and striking.
A head and shoulders body cast was taken of a very patient and talented Israeli model, Orli Shoshan, who was then encapsulated in a full foam latex prosthetic appliance - all but for her mouth, eyes and nose. This was a complex and difficult Prosthetic Appliance, and Orli was very dedicated to her performance within it. I was given a deadline of '2 weeks' to sculpt, mould and fabricate the multi-tentacled prosthetic appliances.
No 'test make up' time was considered necessary as there was only two days of on-set performance!
Promotional photos for books and a 3D body scan for Toy Figurines were
 taken of Orli wearing the Prosthetic Appliance make-up from the first 'test make-up' ...
The make-up and performance were so well received that Orli was asked to reprise her background role as Shaak Ti during the filming of STAR WARS: Revenge of the Sith, also filmed in Sydney a few years later.
