The finished look can be done in any single or multiple colors: from actual skin tones to bronze, marble, your favorite color or even clear.

It can be finished in silicone, plastic or plaster (I don't recommend plaster due to its weight and being fragile, but still an option).

Look at the pages here on Hands and Feet for a few examples.

In most cases piercings may be left in place.

Note: if you, or someone you know, had a casting done with plaster placed directly on the skin, look inside to see if there is more detail inside than on the outter surface. If you're seeing detail then maybe that can be used to bring out a clearer surface version. Ask about that possibility when contacting me.
