You probably know Kay Pike’s work, you just didn’t know it was from her. That’s because the artist is able to completely transform herself into a myriad of characters from beloved franchises via bodypainting, and the results are marvelous indeed.

Kay uses a combination of photoshop digital work to get the look and colors locked down and then does the physical part with body paint. The highlight and shadowing work she does is what makes it so realistic, and then when she starts moving around it’s like a comic come to life.
She’s covered so many characters at this point, from Poison Ivy and Bizarro to Frieza and Captain Planet. You can catch the process live over on her Twitch channel, and you can see some of her other work over on her Instagram.
