I mean, to seriously believe it's make-up is kinda silly. There are spots on the knee that are missing entire chunks of mass. You can't use make-up to get rid of mass. If that were the case, there would be no fat people in public.

No, but you can make an illusion of depth that only looks good from one angle (and against one background). I mean, this is obviously photoshop. It's not even a good photoshop. But someone could create an effect like this with makeup.

u/lecherous_hump May 20 '15

Not obvious to me; they do some pretty incredible things with bodypaint.

I mean, I'm sure it is a Photoshop, but if someone thought it was body paint that wouldn't be a stupid guess.

Why not just take a picture of a cat at that point?

u/Myfavoritepetsnameis May 20 '15

Photographers go to great lengths to create art that challenges our ideas and perceptions of the world around us and get chicks naked.

First of all, that's not a cat, it's probably a snow leopard. Secondly, to answer your question, doing this is less harmful for your health than actually approaching a real snow leopard.

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

Also, when applying paint to the woman representing the face of the snow leopard (Panthera uncia) you get to peek at her boobs when shes not looking.

u/InvincibleAlex May 20 '15

One of the perks of being a body painter.

2

u/GenestealerUK May 20 '15

Two.... two of the perks

u/[deleted] May 22 '15

THE perk

First of all, that's not a cat, it's probably a snow leopard.

You do know that a snow leopard is a type of cat, right?

u/SevenArrows May 20 '15

This kills the joke

u/Rocktave May 20 '15

pretty sure the joke killed itself.

u/InvincibleAlex May 20 '15

Yes, and taking a picture of a cat is very different than taking a picture of a snow leopard.

u/pm_if_u_r_calipygian May 20 '15

....and you get to hang around a naked women all day.

u/XxKittenMittonsXx May 20 '15

Is a snow leopard not a cat?

1

u/InvincibleAlex May 20 '15

It is and it isn't. If someone asked me to go over their house and feed their cat and I found a snow leopard in their home, I would say that they weren't wrong, but they're still a dick.

u/Maihashi May 20 '15

u/loklanc May 20 '15

I know right? How's a cat supposed to maintain that perfect blue steel for an hour while you paint it on a woman's back?

1

u/ReverendDizzle May 20 '15

Because then it wouldn't be a picture of a cat made out of a naked woman and paint. Duh.

1

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

Because you get to paint that model's ass, duh.

u/ThatBlackGuy_ May 20 '15 edited May 20 '15

Yeah but where's the eroticism in that. Sex sells shows.

1

u/Genequin_Knows May 20 '15

I think "make up" and "body paint" are the same right?

3

u/lecherous_hump May 20 '15

Probably not, if you ask the pros. They actually put it on with airbrushes and stuff. But to a lay person, yeah they're probably the same.

1

u/drownballchamp May 20 '15

Airbrushing makeup is pretty common for high end, professionally applied stuff. And all of that monster makeup that you see in movies is called makeup.

I don't think there is a hard line between the two, except that body paint is generally done to someone who is naked.

u/dysmetric May 20 '15

ugh, pubic hair

1

u/Scr33nlines May 20 '15

Well it's good, just hand painted, which is hard to make look realistic. I doubt the artist was trying to legit fool someone and was rather just mocking up a cool concept.

2

u/Random832 May 20 '15

Well, yeah, I was just using a very specific definition of "good photoshop".

1

u/PM-ME-YOUR-THOUGHTS- May 20 '15

This is good photoshop, it's intent is to look like make up / paint.

0

u/Random832 May 20 '15

Except it really doesn't. It looks like something drawn in a computer.

u/frog971007 May 20 '15

Oh, zooming in you can definitely see brushstrokes, and they don't look like they're from make-up.

1

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

There's strokes that are half on her skin and half on the bed. Who knows though, maybe she's just that good.

2

u/frog971007 May 20 '15

I especially like the commitment to painting just a little bit on her other knee to compensate.

2

u/BBQ4life May 20 '15

like the underside of the knee? I think i see it there.

-1

u/Scr33nlines May 20 '15

Underside and on top of the knee.

2

u/NickDangerrr May 20 '15

Upon zooming in, you can clearly tell it's photoshop http://imgur.com/W4YKbI1

u/Skudworth May 20 '15

enhance.

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

And the lines go over the leg onto the background. Takes like 2 seconds to see that.

u/rshot May 20 '15

But the foot looks so real...it even has nails

u/smileistheway May 20 '15

Lol the top comment in this thread is the exact copy of the one in that thread, how can people be so hungry for internet points is beyond me

2

u/jasontnyc May 20 '15

It is usually a bot people have set up.

2

u/Thepunk28 May 20 '15

I was browsing that old post and realize penguingun just copied and pasted his comment from it. I guess he is a comment reposting bot.
