Krev, maso, kosti, démoni. BRUTÁLNÍ bodypainting
Painting the naked body is not always evoke just pretty and poetic.
Even if true, her quirky poetic style has bodypaintový that we introduce in our gallery. It is a horror make-up when the models as being possessed by the demons reveal their bones, viscera and muscle girdle, or show off as undead beings from another world. A similar style of makeup is popular not only in the studio and studio shots, but also various recesistických zombie processes that take place in various countries including the Czech Republic.
Process Body Painting Japanese Dragon
Step 1- Preparation. For this project I had the opportunity to use the Spectrum 2000 for the first time and a brand new Iwata BC air brush. The paints used in the system were called Body of Art airbrush paints by Artool Products, which were alcohol based and waterproof. One week before the bodypainting session I was able to do a skin test on the model to verify that there would not be a skin reaction and thank goodness none occurred.
Step 4 – The scales for the underbelly of the dragon were given form using a crude paper stencil. Take the time before starting to cut a few curves in several pieces of paper so that you can be prepared for this step. Luckily the alcohol based paint that I was using dried quickly allowing the use of the same stencil for numerous iterations.
Step 5 – Another paper stencil was used for the blue scales. To help give the impression of three dimensions, the scales were cut out to be narrower at the outer edge
Step 6 – Once the scales are defined, the next step is to start free-handing some shading and highlights throughout. The claws were painted with a mix of yellow and henna brown and shaded with some red and black. The talons were generally freehanded with intent to outline in the next phase of work. A few more stencils are needed to provide some sharp whiskers.
Step 8 – Next up, make it pop out. The key to this is to add the overbearing highlights to the underbelly scales and parts of the legs and blue scales. This helps give the dragon a shinny appearance. A time consuming, but effective trick was to add tiny highlights at each scale also to give a somewhat glittery effect.
Step 11 – The photoshoot. For this session it was very important to correlate the Japanese dragon with the Japanese model. The mirror allowed us to show her oriental facial features as well as accentuate the painting on the back
