Hi all. My previous Predator costumes were worn over my skin which I painted up with creme application costume make up. My husband convinced me to use a body suit because he could paint it up and get more color and detail. I was not happy with the body suit because while it might have offered a more prominent skin color pattern, it definetly lost a lot of my natural cleavage..... er.... features. Which I think is an important part of the costume.
My suit is currently under construction once again for the zillionth time and I am reverting back to my natural cleavage... err... skin... for the next costuming events...I even have all new chest armor, and am working on .... umm... losing weight.
At any rate, I have loaded up with my creme make up for full body painting, but I was wondering... is it hard to learn to air brush?? I know absolutely nothing about air brusing at all. I know we do have an air brush, and that's about it. I don't think we have a small compressor, which I am assuming you kind of need to air brush? What kind of paints would you use to paint your body (you know, that actually comes off without a wire brush and paint thinner!!!), and would it be difficult to air brush my body? I think it might prove physically challenging to air brush my own back or back of my thighs, but I mean in theory, is it hard for a complete novice to learn to air brush? Would that be a good idea to do that? It takes me close to an hour to do the creme make up as it is, and if I go detail crazy with the creme and make up pencils, drawing on spots and stuff, it takes a good 2 hours just to do the skin, so I don't mind spending the time. But I am not sure I am capable of learning to do something like airbrushing out of the blue with no prior exposure to it.
Suggestions? Thanks!
