For the Dragon Con version of my Prince Xizor, I made certain refinements. First, over the course of four weekends, I finished patterning the prince's over coat. I formed an arm band from armature wire and treated it with varying gold effects. I lined Xizor's puttees—boot wrappings—with Velcro to keep them from unraveling. To better blend the latex of my mask to my face used a concoction of the prosthetic adhesive Prosaide, latex paint, and the micro powder thickening agent, Cab-o-sil. The make-up took two hours to apply and two long hours to remove. The finishing touch was a this pair of custom teeth;

I designed these fused teeth with Xizor's reptilian race in mind. The molding, sculpting, fabrication, and finishing were all completed by my friend and special effects advisor, Joe Lester. I cannot speak highly enough of the amazing sculpting abilities of this man.
