The theme this year was Super Heroes and Villains. It felt like I body painted every Marvel and DC character there was... Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Batgirl, Spiderwoman, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Sue Storm, Captain America and the like. It’s amazing how many variations people come up with for these characters! A whole week of naked comic book women, it was like an x-rated version of Comic-Con!
Not everyone went the comic book route with their body paint designs. Here are just but a few of the many designs I body painted this year...
A Native American design with a dreamcatcher.
An abstract design with glitter to match her mask.
A detailed motorcycle.
An evil clown.
Body Painting at Fantasy Fest requires you to paint very fast. You have to be able to crank out high quality body paintings very quickly. Almost every design I body painted this year at Fantasy Fest was done in less than an hour. Some took only 30 minutes, some took 45 minutes, some took the entire hour to body paint. Only three designs I body painted this year took 2 hours, and those were full body designs.
Next year will be incredible as well. The Fantasy Fest theme for October 2014 is Animeted Dreams and Adventures. Only 11 months away...
