Woman Transforms Herself into a Gremlin with Body Paints

Artist Mirjana Kika Milosevic is known for her amazing body painting illusions. For her latest transformation, she managed to make herself look like one of the gremlins from the classic 1980s movie of the same name.

Did someone feed her after midnight? Nope. Kika’s just got mad makeup and body painting skills. She blacked out parts of her torso and arms to make herself skinnier – a trick she’s used numerous times before – but it’s the face painting of the creepy gremlin mouth, along with the monstrous orange contact lenses, strip of white hair, and big ears that really bring it all together. Be sure to check out the time-lapse video of Kika working her makeup magic below:

Honestly, the only thing that broke the illusion for me at all is that she sounded more like a monkey than a gremlin when she started making those noises at the end. Maybe Kika can transform herself back into a Mogwai for her next trick.

2D Body Paint Cosplay: Maybe She’s Mystique

Kay Pike is a costume designer and model. But recently she’s been taking up body painting, using it to turn herself into various geeky characters. So far she’s painted herself as Rescue, Cheetara, Thanos, a Titan from Attack on Titan and my favorite, Captain Marvel.

I initially thought that Kay’s costumes only look good in photos, like the Silver Surfer body paint model. But her Patreon video proved me wrong:

Silver Surfer Body Paint: Maybe It’s Norrin Radd

A couple of weeks ago we saw a Gundam model that was painted to look like its original anime counterpart. Makeup artist Cris Alex went for a similar two-dimensional effect, but on a whole person. Cris based her project on the cover of Silver Surfer vol. 3 issue 20.

Cris said she used PPI Skin Illustrator makeup on her model and acrylic paints on the foam core rock and surfboard. Cris photographed her model in strong light to enhance the flat look.

Browser hungers, herald. Head to Cris’ website for more pictures of her work, including these goofy behind the scenes shots.
