Body Painting Set - Disruption Pattern (supplemental)

Jun 07, 2010 08:08


After posting the first seven pics from this set last week, the model, Rinjii, asked for four specific additional photos from that set to be cleaned up and prepared for display for her. It was a few extra hours of work, but what the heck. There's no reason why she shouldn't get the photos she wanted from the set she posed for, right? And so...

I've used that design element in a lot of my designs (the sort of "fingerless gloves" look), but I do think it looks better here than in a lot of my designs.

They look great, but since I am unbelievably picky when it comes to looking at friends art, there is something off with the shading on that first image to my eyes. It makes her chest look faintly caved. Please don't take it as a criticism. It is not, it is more of a heads up on something fixable in case you were actually looking for input.

Please don't hate me! The body painting is flawlessly beautiful and you have truly done the model justice. I hope you get to use her again.

Well, if the weather holds up (and it's looking good at the moment), we do hope and plan to do an outdoors shoot with her this sarurday, down at the local nude beach.

I kind of see what you're saying about the lighting there, but I really think it's just a question of the way the light was falling on her (combined with my fiddling about with the light levels), and there's not a lot I can do about it without sacrificing the artistic effect I was going for.

Oooh, will you be sharing the pictures for the new shoot? She is such a good model and you have a wonderful take on body painting that seems to be unique to you. I have seen enough with clothing and animal marks, but not really any where the models seems to be a living canvas for something more than decoration.

That is probably more than enough in the way of enthusing wildly over your work, but I am an artist and should be forgiven my moments of 'squeeee!'

Thank you for taking. My previous comment in the spirit in which it was meant. I don't think I have ever wavered so much before hitting the enter key! I understand completely what you mean about not wanting to interfere with your artistic vision. It really is a wonderful pose.

Yeah, so many body painters just want to re-create something that already exists on their model's body. I, on the other hand, want to create something entirely new and unique with each set I do. I don't want the model to just have a work of art ON them; I want them to BE a work of art. That's my guiding principle.

Not that the other approach doesn't have its place; it just holds no interest or appeal for me.

What does the cleanup process involve?

Odd and ends. Odds and ends.

As a result of time constraints, it's generally impossible to get every line as sharply-defined, every angle as precise and every border as concrete as I would like. I always need to do a bit of polish in that respect.

The paint that I use has a couple of unfortunate shortcomings; one is that in some areas, it will chip, crack and smudge where there's a lot of movement. I do what spot repairs I can during the photo shoot, but there's always bits that need some fixing up in photoshop.

And finally, there's contrast and colour balance issues which are common to any photo shoot, which require some fiddling.
