bodypainting character

A few images of my body painting creatures both of them are modeled by the amazing dancer Jana Castillo. The first one is a crazy rabbit woman that came 2nd in the Weta workshop fantasy creature makeup section in Wellington, the other one is Kali the Hindu goddess of destruction she also came second in the Auckland section for fantasy and creature special effects.....judged by the weta folks again....i had to make those bloody second pair of arms, what a mission...phew...all the prosthetics and extras were hand made by me on both creatures its alot of fun but extremely time consuming and messy, ps the lunatic in the halo is moi
