Mind-Blowing Silver Surfer Body Paint That Looks Like a 2D Comic Cover
Last month, we posted 2D artwork that manipulated blue notebook-style lines to create the illusion that the art was popping off the page. Today we have a project that does the exact opposite: taking something three dimensional (a guy wearing nothing but briefs and body paint) and making it appear like 2D artwork. Makeup effects artist Cris Alex used PPI Skin Illustrator to create the makeup for this amazing Silver Surfer cosplay photoshoot. She then photographed the model with strong light to eerily mimic the flat feel of an old school comic. Ron Lim’s art for Silver Surfer Vol. 3 #20 was used as inspiration, and I’ve included the cover below the photos for comparison.
