I've started to use more black which I think makes it look more gruesome as it looks dirtier or like dried blood.

I tried different ways of applying the tissue in the latex and I experimented in the last pair of photos with using sawdust to give more ridges and lumps. I also mixed using tissue and cotton wool for different parts of the wound(second pair of photos). I used tissue for the areas of skin as when it mixes with latex it goes wrinkly. I ripped open some of the latex and put cotton wool covered with latex inside, this made a different texture compared to the outside.
