No es animación, es una clase magistral de cómo debe hacerse bodypainting y cosplay

Algunos somos un verdadero desastre al momento de buscar disfraz para Halloween, muchas veces terminamos comprando uno ya hecho que incluye una máscara y asunto cerrado. Pero al llegar a la fiesta nos encontramos con verdaderas obras de arte, trabajos que sin duda representas horas invertidas, donde sin duda el resultado ha valido la pena, y aquí surge la pregunta ¿cómo lo han hecho?

Hoy finalmente tenemos un poco de luz al final del túnel, no es un trabajo sencillo, requiere paciencia y mucha experimentación, porque sí, el arte del cosplay es complejo y maravilloso a la vez, pero cuando lo mezclamos con bodypainting, entonces son palabras mayores. A continuación veremos a una de máximas exponentes, Kay Pike, una verdadera maestra cuando se trata de personificar a un personaje de cómics.

Cuando pintarse el cuerpo es un arte

Kay Pike es una famosa diseñadora de modas, empresaria, modelo cosplayer y artista de Twitch, quien desde 2009 encontró su verdadera pasión, interpretar personajes de cómics y series animadas por medio de pintura en su cuerpo, nada más. Lo más impresionante de todo es que ella misma hace los dibujos, con resultados realmente espectaculares.

Esto la llevo a fundar el sitio CanadaCosplay, donde vende todo tipo de ropa y accesorios creados por ella; es considerada una de las artistas más influyentes de este mercado en Canadá y al día de hoy ha participado en más de 100 convenciones y ha creado más de 10.000 cosplayers.

Hace unos años, decidió crear su canal en Twitch, siendo al día de hoy uno de los más vistos de esta categoría, ya que explica paso a paso todo lo necesario para crear personajes con pintura corporal. Además, ha abierto un perfil en Patreon, donde por una cantidad de dinero, podemos tener vídeos y explicaciones personalizadas por parte de Kay, además de poder interactuar con ella.

Cada obra toma alrededor de 10 horas, y en Twitch podemos presenciar todo el proceso en directo, donde por supuesto los resultados son magníficos y dignos de admiración.

This was a Colossal effort ? See a full video on my periscope! with one facepaint lesson from @lustredust this is what you can do too! For cereal I was lent a huge palette to practice with. So this being the first day I can move in almost a week had a great activity to do ??? Things I learned about bodypaint this time around: 1:I need more than 6 brushes… I would have saved half an hour of time off in colour changes. 12 colours 36 brushes. Just do it. 2: premix custom colours for more speed. 3: Red is the devil. I’ll post more when I feel a little better ☺ #titan #attackontitan #bodypaint #bodyart #facepaint @lustredust #anime #otaku #red #muscle #anatomy #creepy #illusion #artist #makeup #yyc #attackontitancosplay #colossaltitan @attackontitan #friendship #friendshipismagic

This isn’t even my final form . Here is Golden Frieza streamed last night from http://www.twitch.tv/kaypikefashion ; This paint was so incredibly technically difficult. I wanted somthing hard to do …. and I picked the most beastly…. hide nose AND eyes AND breasts illusion plus making prosthetics, plus bald cap MONSTER I could manage. Why? I want to get better at this! Also I love Dragonball and Frieza especially. As soon as I saw Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F I got so excited to see a better prettier frieza. Its one of those characters that I have always wanted to cosplay as, but I never made the time or had money to do so. I want to thank all the twitch people that came to cheer me on and keep me going, this paint got really really into my head I just wanted so badly for it to turn out. Most of all I Would like to thank @jloucherry http://jloucherrystar.deviantart.com @NigzBlackman http://www.twitch.tv/ngzblackman De Rex and @lustredust https://www.facebook.com/LMMakeupArtist For coming over to hang out yesterday while I was streaming.

Spiderman Paint streamed last night from http://www.twitch.tv/kaypikefashion ! Peter Parker what a goof. Sorry about going down for a few hours yesterday there! We are pioneers on the internet, the staff got it all sorted out and there are many mutual loves ^ ^ In fact, shoutout: MonkeyOnStrike had the idea to poll which bodypaint I should do this week! http://strawpoll.me/6442611 Going shopping tomorrow so get your votes in! Boy oh boy this was the learning experience, @lustredust came over to do another tandem paint! She did a Carnage! https://www.facebook.com/LMMakeupArtist/ it’s a beautiful paint, please check it out! I tried some new kinds of paint and am experimenting with three different brands right now. The learning curve is wicked steep with this game. OH actually got the bald cap on properly this time, AND had way more success in the androgyny department. #spiderman #amazingspiderman #peterparker #dailybugle @marvel #twitchcreative @twitch #video #chat #makeup #bodypaint #bodyart @mehronmakeup @marvel.arts @marvel_pics @marvel_entertainment #marvel #marvelcomics #yyc @monkeyonstrike
