maybe it's just me, but i thought this was a painting, and thought it was of lady gaga.
but thats a compliment because this is absolutely amazing.
i was looking through devArt randomly, and this popped out instantly. the color is crazy.

hehe...me too! Working with UV bodypaint is always a happy surprise. You sit in front of the normally lit mirror with tons of self doubt in your artistic skills, getting pissed because it's not turning out how you were hoping, but then when you're in front of the blacklight, it's like, "HOLY SHIT I'M A GENIUS!!!" It's hard to go wrong with pretty glowy colors....

This is really lovely! What did you use on your skin if you don't mind me asking..?

TashKouri In reply to UnderTheFlowerPot [2011-06-16 21:22:51 +0000 UTC]

I'm an airbrush bodypainter. So, it's just UV reactive bodypaint. The specific brand is Gratobian and I bought it here: [link] Then I slapped on some mascara, mussed up my hair, got in front of the 4 giant blacklights, discovered my hair glows as well (happy accident!), and had my good friend Ben take my picture.

I've found that the UV airbrush paint glow is kind of weak compared to other more traditional UV paints. You can see this here: [link]
Everything I did on Hardd is using the same airbrush paint except around her eyes, on her lip, and on her fingers. So you can see.....it's friggin BRIGHT in comparison. But you can't get the fine details going with it.


Side note....it is hard to airbrush your own face.
