1:58 thank you so much I hope you enjoy let's
2:01 get started this is episode 4 of my Gore
2:05 guide series I really enjoy these videos
2:07 because I get to go super in-depth with
2:09 a certain product or method today we are
2:11 creating a full face on V prosthetic and
2:13 I'm going to share with you all of my
2:14 tips and tricks that I've learned along
2:16 the years on how to make this the
2:18 easiest and simplest way so you guys can
2:20 follow along at home to begin building a
2:23 prosthetic it's ideal that you work off
2:25 of a face cast now if you don't have one
2:27 of these I have an in-depth video
2:29 teaching you how to create one or you
2:31 could also use a mannequin head if this
2:32 isn't available to you so to start out
2:35 I'm creating a base of liquid latex I'm
2:37 applying thin multiple layers to really
2:39 build up that area and cover one of my
2:42 eye sockets because we're going to be
2:43 applying a popped out eye effect
2:47 so to create a prosthetic I like to use
2:50 a latex paste now the best way to make
2:52 this is to always put your liquids in
2:53 the bowl first that's going to help you
2:55 really mix it and get a consistent batch
2:57 so that you don't get as many lumps and
2:59 clumps I like to use a regular
3:01 all-purpose baking flour but baby powder
3:04 works just as well and they're both
3:06 around the same price I mix that in
3:09 slowly and surely until I get the
3:10 consistency that I'm after make sure
3:12 that you don't have many lumps in this
3:14 but you can't really overwork it if you
3:16 mix it too much it can get almost
3:18 rubbery and start to dry to begin the
3:21 sculpt I'm applying the latex pay
3:23 straight on to the cheekbones and really
3:24 building and sculpting those first I
3:26 find it easiest to work with my hands
3:28 but if you have a thin liquid latex next
3:30 to you you need to dip your tools and
3:32 fingers into this as well and then start
3:34 to gently massage and smooth out the
3:36 surface that's going to give you a
3:38 perfect edge
3:40 [Music]
3:45 I also recommend using small batches of
3:48 liquid latex paste because it has a
3:50 thickener in it it will dry a lot
3:52 quicker and create lumps
3:53 it will also discolor and start to go
3:55 yellow and rubbery so working in small
3:57 batches is going to keep it nice and
3:59 fresh and smooth it'll blend out a lot
4:01 easier and the consistency should
4:03 hopefully be quite similar throughout
4:04 the whole prosthetic this way you'll
4:06 definitely waste a lot less as well if
4:08 you're only mixing up exactly what you
4:10 need now if you're struggling with
4:11 getting each side symmetrical it is
4:13 quite hard when you stare at something
4:15 for too long I find it easy to turn it
4:17 upside down start to look at it as more
4:19 of a shape as opposed to a facial
4:21 feature like cheekbones changing up your
4:24 perspective is a nice little trick to
4:26 really get it even if you don't want it
4:27 to be absolutely perfect that's fine it
4:29 is a zombie so it doesn't have to be
4:31 exact but I like to get it even because
4:33 this is a zombie Santa so he's gonna
4:35 have some nice big rosy cheeks that are
4:37 also quite sunken in if it's starting to
4:39 get a little bit sloppy you can go in
4:41 with cotton more balls and also use that
4:43 to sculpt certain areas you can't just
4:45 get the pace to work with or if your
4:47 paste is starting to get too soft
4:49 because the latex paste is quite heavy
4:51 it can start to slide off of your
4:53 prosthetic if it gets too built up or if
4:56 you apply too much thin latex over the
4:58 top it can just become a really sloppy
4:59 mixture so I like to use cotton wool
5:01 balls to give a little bit more
5:02 stability with certain features of the
5:04 face letting a prosthetic dry is one of
5:07 the most important steps so when I get
5:09 about 50% of the way through I like to
5:11 lock it all in place and let it dry
5:12 overnight I'm gonna go through the pros
5:14 and cons and the true different ways
5:15 that you can let your prosthetic dry and
5:17 set I recommend doing it overnight but
5:19 you can also do it in a microwave in
5:21 10-second intervals so to start with the
5:24 process of drying overnight it's going
5:25 to give you a really soft and flexible
5:27 product it's hassle-free you look she'll
5:29 just leave it on the bench for a few
5:30 days and it should be perfect
5:32 you can pre make it well ahead of time
5:33 and it's going to give you an overall
5:35 comfort and movement to the prosthetic
5:37 the latex won't go hard and rubbery it's
5:39 going to keep nice and soft and be very
5:41 movable on your face when you apply it
5:43 some of the cons of overnight drying is
5:45 that it can just simply take too long
5:47 anyway up to two days depending on how
5:49 thick and bulky you've built up your
5:51 latex paste this can cause it to grow
5:53 mold if it's left at a hot temperature
5:54 or if it's left out for anywhere up to
5:56 three or four days plus the gravity
5:58 could all
5:59 so just make it slip and slide off the
6:00 prosthetic so ensure when you're making
6:02 a pace that it's not too runny and then
6:05 lastly you do need to make this quite
6:06 early in advance so if you're a
6:08 last-minute sort of person this is not
6:10 going to work for you some of the pros
6:13 of drawing your prosthetic in the
6:14 microwave are that it just happens so
6:15 quickly
6:16 essentially you could just put it in for
6:17 about 10 seconds at a time and it's
6:19 going to cure and bake the latex
6:21 immediately so that means that you can
6:22 continuously keep sculpting and pretty
6:24 much completed all in one day or even in
6:27 a few hours another great thing is that
6:29 you can set it through each step if
6:30 you've done a really nice nose you can
6:32 set it and zap it in the microwave or if
6:34 you like your cheekbone and you're happy
6:35 with it you can just set it immediately
6:37 and then you know that it's safe that
6:39 your work is intact and then you can add
6:40 to it as well if you want to build up
6:42 something a lot larger and bigger and
6:44 you're worried about that drying time
6:46 sadly something this convenient has to
6:48 come with the corner so drying in the
6:50 microwave has a few mainly it's just
6:52 gonna give you a bit of shrinkage it
6:53 could possibly make the latex dry out if
6:56 you dry it too much or if you
6:58 continuously zapping it in the microwave
7:00 it could also darken the latex in color
7:02 and become a deep yellow this is going
7:04 to give you an overall tougher latex
7:06 that will be less flexible and give you
7:08 a lot less movement when you apply it to
7:09 your face so the comfort factor isn't
7:11 there but that's just for you guys to
7:13 decide if you are drying your prosthetic
7:17 in the microwave it's also important
7:18 that you're not applying too many
7:19 different elements or textures for my
7:21 dragon look I created so many different
7:23 things and added so many different
7:25 materials on my prosthetic that there
7:27 was no possible way to dry it in the
7:28 microwave so I think all up that
7:30 prosthetic took three or four days to
7:32 dry and once you add things like pulling
7:34 off plastic you really can't be putting
7:36 that back into the microwave even though
7:37 they take quite a while to become clear
7:39 and soft you don't want to take that
7:41 risk
7:41 so I applied air drying clay jewels gems
7:44 stones polymorph plastic acrylic paint I
7:48 even had masking tape and lots of
7:50 different crazy elements in this look to
7:52 really bring the prosthetic to life so
7:54 these are all things that you can do but
7:55 you have to keep in mind once you start
7:57 going this far way that you definitely
7:58 have to leave it to air dry and that's
8:00 not a problem at all you've just got to
8:01 decide that ahead of time so you have
8:03 plenty of time to make that choice and
8:05 apply it on the day that you need it so
8:09 to complete the zombie prosthetic I'm
8:10 going to create a bulging eye just use
8:12 one whole cotton more ball and lots of
8:14 thin latex to saturate it and shape it
8:17 to the way that I want one of the best
8:19 parts of a zombie is the teeth and mouth
8:21 now in this video I actually created a
8:23 zombie Santa but I wanted to go more in
8:25 depth about how to create your zombie
8:27 gums and expose the teeth so I will have
8:29 to take you back to an older video of
8:31 mine this one doesn't have the quality
8:33 but it has the rough general idea so I'm
8:36 going back to this pinup zombie that I
8:37 did I think in 2014
8:39 well time flies and what i'm doing here
8:41 is mapping out the mouth area and
8:43 starting to apply liquid latex and
8:45 cotton more balls all around it to get a
8:47 really ribbed up gum and of course
8:49 that's going to expose all of our
8:50 beautiful teeth and give us some nice
8:52 rotted flesh to create my zombie teeth
8:54 back then i used fake nails now i just
8:57 buy like these acrylic teeth off of ebay
8:59 but if you don't have access to those
9:01 you can of course make the fake nails
9:02 look a lot more realistic I just didn't
9:04 exactly have the skills back then but
9:06 I'd like to think that now I do so I
9:08 might actually do a recent tutorial
9:10 using fake nails and showing you the
9:12 difference between them and the acrylic
9:14 teeth okay fast forward to 2019 we are
9:17 back so I'm now taking my zombie Santa
9:19 and as you've seen the beard and
9:21 moustache covers so much which is why I
9:23 didn't bother creating the ripped-up
9:24 gums for this look but using those
9:26 techniques I just showed you you could
9:28 easily apply it onto your prosthetic
9:30 face I'm thinking to take a slightly
9:31 thicker latex and that's going to hold
9:33 my teeth in place I purchased these off
9:36 of ebay I think and there are only about
9:37 $8 it's a whole entire pack of fake
9:40 teeth which are perfect because they are
9:42 so realistic and creepy but if you want
9:44 to do a zombie you can of course use the
9:46 nails and create more busted teeth that
9:48 aren't so perfect so it's definitely up
9:50 to you I went ahead and just laid a full
9:53 set of teeth down now is also the
9:55 perfect time if you decide on cutting
9:57 your mouth open so indent that with a
9:59 pair of scissors in between so you can
10:01 eat drink and breathe a lot or
10:03 prosthetics obviously need to be open on
10:05 your mouth but this is just for a safety
10:07 precaution while it is ideal to have
10:09 both your mouth and nose open you can of
10:11 course just have the nostrils clear of
10:13 air so that you can breathe but I
10:15 recommend always having both options
10:17 available I finished off my zombie by
10:19 applying some really funny eyebrows
10:21 because I was laying crepe hair over the
10:23 top
10:23 later I let this dry for about four or
10:25 five hours until
10:26 was completely smooth on the surface it
10:28 wasn't dry through to the core so what I
10:31 did was I wrapped this in cling wrap and
10:32 stored it in my fridge for about three
10:34 or four days that let it dry and cure
10:36 all of the way through it kept it nice
10:38 and soft and moist and then when we
10:40 applied it to the face it was really
10:41 flexible this is also the stage if you
10:44 want to apply anything crazy onto your
10:45 prosthetic like jewels and gems and
10:47 air-dry and clay and all of that fun
10:49 stuff like polymorph plastic you can go
10:51 ahead and do so
10:53 then it is now time to remove it from
10:54 the face cast the easiest way to do this
10:56 is by taking a translucent powder a baby
10:59 powder or even just flour and dusting
11:01 that heavily over the top and then
11:03 starting to peel it up by the edges and
11:05 working your way through to the center
11:06 of the face be as gentle as you can with
11:09 this part because we are almost done and
11:11 I would hate for you guys to rip or tear
11:12 it it does help if you apply lots of
11:14 those base coat layers like we did at
11:16 the start to create some nice thin edges
11:18 for blending once you've got that off
11:20 you can now powder it down I took a
11:22 large fluffy brush and just removed any
11:24 excess and also put this on the opposite
11:26 and underside of the prosthetic to
11:28 ensure that none of the little edges are
11:30 going to roll up and stick together as a
11:32 final step you will need to go ahead and
11:34 cut out your eye and breathing holes so
11:37 I only had one eye for this look and
11:39 then my mouth and nostrils as well this
11:41 is what the completed process that it
11:42 looks like start to finish I'm now gonna
11:45 cover and show you guys how to apply
11:46 this to your face and then towards the
11:48 end of the video I'm gonna give you so
11:50 many different shorts of many
11:51 prosthetics that I've made to give you
11:53 inspiration on what you can add and what
11:54 materials you can use to really
11:56 customize this and make it your own
11:58 of course we covered a zombie in this
11:59 video today but there are so many
12:01 different fun things you can do with a
12:03 full face prosthetic or even a half face
12:05 prosthetic as well I refrigerated my
12:08 prosthetic I had it in there for about
12:09 three or four days before I went ahead
12:11 and applied it so just to keep it nice
12:13 and matte irie powdered it before
12:15 application to make sure that it wasn't
12:16 sweaty or wet I then went in with a glue
12:19 stick this is just a non-toxic school
12:21 glue stick and I'm going to start
12:23 flattening down my eyebrows that's going
12:24 to protect all the hairs today for many
12:26 adhesives and make sure that they are
12:28 safe once your eyebrows are dry you can
12:30 then go ahead and measure your
12:32 prosthetic to your face and trim it
12:33 accordingly if you need to mind fit
12:35 pretty perfect so I left it as is one of
12:38 my older methods of applying it in here
12:40 a prosthetic to my face was a little bit
12:42 different to how I do it now but I still
12:44 think that birth is immigrated so I
12:45 wanted to include it in this video
12:47 I used to use liquid latex so if that is
12:48 all that you have and that's what you
12:50 feel comfortable with then you can
12:51 definitely go ahead and use it what I
12:53 did was I would mark out where the
12:55 prosthetic line went to heavily apply
12:57 latex to that whole entire area and then
13:00 I would give it a little bit of
13:01 stability and grip by ripping up and
13:03 tearing up cotton wall balls and
13:05 applying lots of latex onto the top of
13:07 that and also inside the prosthetic as
13:09 well letting that dry a little and then
13:11 firmly pressing it down into the face
13:13 sealing off any extra edges that needed
13:15 to be glued down and then going in and
13:17 blending the rest of the prosthetic with
13:18 either a latex paste or liquid latex and
13:21 cotton mothballs depending on how light
13:23 your prosthetic is and where you need to
13:25 blend it into the rest of your head or
13:26 body this is definitely an option for
13:28 you I'm currently just using Telesis at
13:30 the moment which is a brand of spirit
13:32 gum and I'm going to apply that thinly
13:34 all over my entire face this is what
13:36 I've been using to apply it lightweight
13:37 prosthetics I think that it's easy it
13:39 doesn't irritate my skin and it really
13:41 gives a nice hold I can wear this
13:43 prosthetic for hours and it won't peel
13:45 off my face so whether you use pros-aide
13:47 spirit gum or latex ensure that you
13:49 don't apply any of your adhesive around
13:50 your eye socket area it's very unsafe to
13:52 do so and it's not necessary so just
13:55 leave that out and avoid it completely
13:56 take your adhesive and apply that all
13:58 over the inside of your prosthetic and
14:00 also onto your face as well to ensure
14:03 that your spirit gum has the best hold
14:05 make sure that it is tacky before
14:07 application I like to tap it to see that
14:09 it's nice and sticky and then I press
14:11 the prosthetic firmly from the center of
14:13 my face outwards to get the best hold
14:15 sometimes apply a little bit of pressure
14:17 and just let it sit for a few minutes
14:18 and then once you think it is all ready
14:20 to go you can start blending out those
14:22 edges liquid latex is a plastic product
14:25 so it blends out best with its own self
14:27 what I like to do is apply latex around
14:29 all of the edges and if you need to if
14:31 it's a bit bulky apply some cotton wool
14:33 balls rip them up and then blend them
14:35 down into the skin as well as I said if
14:37 you have a larger and bulkier prosthetic
14:39 you might need to use a latex paste that
14:41 used to be my go-to and preferred method
14:43 my newest and favorite method now is
14:46 using skin tape I purchased this from
14:48 the drugstore and the chemist it's about
14:49 two dollars a roll and it is a medical
14:52 tape safe for the skin so it holds on
14:53 bandages and things like that it is not
14:56 irritating and absolutely works
14:57 perfectly for blending our edges whether
14:59 they are thick or thin I like to use
15:01 this now it is so much quicker and
15:03 easier in my opinion so I pop a few of
15:06 those all around the edges of the face
15:07 and then to make sure that my makeup
15:09 will apply evenly throughout the whole
15:11 prosthetic I like to seal that with
15:13 about one or two layers of latex just to
15:15 ensure if we apply for example a cream
15:17 paint but it's not going to have a
15:19 darker and more absorbent texture on the
15:21 bandage make sure that it is all latex
15:23 so that way it applies perfectly from
15:25 the prosthetic down into the skin
15:27 blow-dry that to speed up the process
15:29 and now you can paint it however you
15:31 like when it comes to applying products
15:33 and pigments on top to color your
15:35 prosthetic there isn't really anything
15:36 that hasn't worked for me personally if
15:39 I'm using a water-based paint I apply
15:41 minimal amounts of water to get a very
15:43 thick and drive pigmented mix and that's
15:45 going to see it very well you can then
15:47 blend lots of eyeshadows and grease
15:49 paints and eyeliners over the top of
15:51 that if you're having trouble with any
15:52 sort of a blood sitting well it might be
15:55 off and pull in certain areas you can
15:57 apply dish soap into your liquid blood
15:59 or lay down a scab blood first and
16:01 that's going to ensure that it sticks
16:02 well to the prosthetic but yeah that is
16:05 all the tips that I can give you guys if
16:06 anything isn't working apply a cream
16:08 first
16:09 or maybe just powder it down to get more
16:11 of a matte grippy surface so that is the
16:13 completed look at BAE zombie Santa now
16:15 this whole prosthetic tutorial so far
16:17 has mainly been about him so I'm gonna
16:19 say goodbye to my zombie and go on to
16:21 some other prosthetics that I want to
16:23 give you information about I wanted to
16:24 also include Courtney's prosthetic in
16:26 this video we did a collaboration of mr.
16:29 and mrs. Claus and I really enjoyed how
16:30 she did her two separate pieces
16:32 Courtney created an eyepiece which she
16:34 glued down and blended into the skin and
16:36 also a mouth prosthetic I thought it was
16:38 quite clever because I've recently just
16:40 been doing full face ones so there is
16:42 also options when it comes to things
16:44 like that as well which I quite enjoy so
16:47 hope you guys have enjoyed this jambe
16:49 portion of the video now it's time to
16:50 say goodbye to good old Santa mr. Claus
16:53 and move on to something bigger and
16:54 better in my opinion which is definitely
16:56 my mermaid look this was by far one of
16:59 the biggest most elaborate pieces that I
17:01 ever created and I would really love to
17:03 share with you from start to finish as
17:04 well but in a quicker sense on
17:06 I created this whole face prosthetic I
17:08 ended up cutting it up for application
17:10 but I created it in such a different way
17:12 that I felt like it was necessary to
17:14 include I really like this mermaid look
17:17 because I incorporated about five or six
17:19 different layered pieces and blended
17:21 them all into the skin including a set
17:23 of ears I have a separate video which
17:25 goes really in-depth on how to create
17:26 the ears and this whole tutorial as well
17:29 has its own video but for reference I
17:31 wanted to show you guys some other
17:33 options when it comes to making a latex
17:35 prosthetic so when it does come to a
17:37 prosthetic you don't have to sculpt
17:39 everything out of a latex paste I like
17:41 to sometimes pre make prosthetics and
17:42 then stick it on top of my base once it
17:45 is done so what I did here was used a
17:47 non air drying clay which is very oil
17:49 based and sculpted out a whole entire
17:51 bunch of these scales this took me hours
17:54 I did literally multiple of them and I
17:57 ran and casted them all just with
17:59 regular thin that latex once I had all
18:01 of those nice and dry eye then powdered
18:03 and removed them just like any other
18:04 prosthetic that I would and then you can
18:07 either lay these directly straight on to
18:08 the skin which I did for the whole neck
18:11 piece or you can even apply them onto a
18:13 prosthetic face these are really
18:15 lightweight and flexible as you guys can
18:17 see because we didn't microwave them so
18:19 that is just one of your other options I
18:21 then cut that down to the size and glued
18:23 it on top of my prosthetic when I was
18:25 about midway through and blended it in
18:27 this is a really cool way to incorporate
18:28 lots of different things so that's why I
18:30 wanted to quickly touch on that I then
18:32 removed it and then cut this up into
18:34 several pieces I did that mainly because
18:36 I wanted my lips in my eyes to be very
18:38 glam with heavy makeup so I didn't want
18:40 two prosthetic covering them I ended up
18:42 just cutting up the pieces that I needed
18:43 and applying and blending them down into
18:45 the skin and of course back then I
18:47 didn't use skin tape so I just used
18:49 cotton wool balls but I think it's
18:51 really cool to see as an artist how much
18:52 you can grow and learn from even just in
18:54 the span of a few months now to finish
18:57 off this video today I want to quickly
18:58 discuss my octopus prosthetic if you
19:01 didn't know this was actually the first
19:02 ever prosthetic that I made after I
19:05 created a face cast for myself so this
19:07 was definitely the biggest stage of
19:08 trial and error for me I had no idea how
19:11 big and crazy I could go with this and
19:12 this is what we ended up with a
19:14 glow-in-the-dark UV octopus that was
19:17 sitting on some coral that I also
19:18 created there is a whole entire
19:20 tutorial on how to create this on my
19:21 channel but I just wanted to briefly
19:23 cover it to sum up this video and show
19:25 you all of the different options that
19:26 you can do I've showed you how to do
19:28 dragons by applying jewels and gems and
19:30 mermaids by creating scales and ears and
19:33 to finish it off I used some backing rod
19:35 to create an octopus which is just a
19:37 lightweight foam and I applied some wire
19:40 through there to get it all bent and
19:42 tentacle looking and I pretty much
19:44 slapped it all together with latex and
19:46 this is probably one of the craziest I
19:48 don't know like stepping stones in my
19:49 career as an artist because it was me
19:51 trying something different and I ended
19:53 up finding my absolute passion I would
19:55 definitely have to say that creating
19:56 latex prosthetics has now become my
19:58 favorite thing just because you can be
20:00 so unique with it and apply so many
20:02 different layers and materials and
20:04 products and I just think that this is
20:06 something I'm gonna love and continue to
20:08 do for a very long time which is the
20:10 purpose behind me making such an
20:11 in-depth long video today I wanted to
20:13 give you guys as much information as I
20:15 could so that you could all get inspired
20:17 and start to create your own unique
20:18 pieces just like this one the octopus
20:25 prosthetic that I made for the face
20:26 awards has by far got to be one of my
20:28 favorite looks and I've ever done it was
20:29 the first prosthetic that I ever
20:31 actually made once I created a face cast
20:33 for myself now I still actually have it
20:36 here and this is what it looks like
20:37 it was by far one of my biggest
20:38 achievements to this day and at the time
20:41 it was very unique and crazy and I still
20:43 think that it is definitely one of my
20:44 favorite looks I just had an idea and a
20:46 concept and I really wanted to roll with
20:48 it and that's what I ended up with
20:49 there's just so many possibilities with
20:52 latex that I haven't even tried yet you
20:54 won't know if a method is gonna work
20:55 until you try it I even created a whole
20:57 head prosthetic which was my final look
20:59 for the face awards in it the second
21:01 year running so this is my full head
21:03 prosthetic that I created for my final
21:05 face awards video and I don't think I've
21:06 ever actually shown you guys on camera
21:08 other than the final video that it
21:10 actually starred in this is by far one
21:12 of the biggest and hardest things that I
21:14 have ever created again I had a concept
21:16 and I just tried to run with it these
21:17 are made out of styrofoam and all of
21:19 these bits here are polymorph plastic
21:21 and the whole thing is painted with a
21:23 mixture of acrylic and body paints sadly
21:25 I didn't film this process because we're
21:27 under such a time restraint but I do
21:29 have lots of different photos which I
21:30 can show you in this video as well but
21:32 yeah that was the whole completed
21:34 and I applied this to my friend Nicole
21:36 was a concept in my mind that I wanted
21:38 to create this crazy alien with all of
21:40 his different shapes and techniques I
21:41 sculpted the face of this alien on my
21:44 face class and then I transferred it to
21:45 a mannequin so I could do the whole back
21:47 of the head but my main goal in concept
21:49 for this was just to have an absolutely
21:51 massive scary textured looking alien
21:53 with lots of teeth and spikes and
21:55 vibrant colors that's it guys that is
21:57 the end of my video I hope you all
21:59 enjoyed this tutorial today I know it
22:01 was really lengthy but I hope you learnt
22:02 something cool if you did please give
22:04 this video a very big thumbs up it helps
22:05 me out so much my main focus was to show
22:08 you guys these starts a finished process
22:09 of how to create a latex prosthetic and
22:11 lots of different techniques you can
22:12 incorporate to make it your own
22:14 individual look I tried to make this
22:16 simple and easy but if it's a little bit
22:18 like a school project with all the
22:19 graphs and stuff I'm sorry that was just
22:21 the only way that I could think to get
22:22 it really nice and easy to explain so
22:25 it's a little bit of an art project but
22:26 this video is something that I'm proud
22:28 of I did take a really long time to make
22:29 it and I really hope you enjoyed it
