Transformers and Mermaids

Yay last minute bookings! I'm keen on finding some Transformer and full-face mermaid-esque designs...would love to see if you guys have those in your portfolios! I know Shannon's posted her Optimus Prime (?) somewhere...

Thanks in advance!

reminds me of this little girl on Saturday asked me for a transformer...I said uuuuh...uh how about a pretty butterfly!? Thank goodness it was easy to change her mind lol

Ha! That's what I don't want to happen I already had to turn down Iron Man last week...

But considering this party is a split between Tinkerbelle and Transformers, I figure I should have some designs just in case...

Thanks Suzi! Those get the juices flowing!

You can always have a stencil ready too if the transformer full face takes too long. I have a transformer in my airbrush stencil collection I can show you...if you have a burner to make one.

Is why I loooove my crackberry.... internet resources wherever I go! Of course, it's usually to remind myself what those Kiss guys look like.

If it's Tinkerbelle, then don't you want some fairy designs? If so, I have a whole line of fairies that I could show you that were inspired by the tinkerbelle movies. I've seen them all... the neighbor girl I babysit for watches them like they're crack and she needs her next high.... it's ridiculous.

I do a mermaid just like a fairy crown except with water droplets and seashells. Sometime with a few fish scales down the sides . Sorry don't have a pic.

Shannon does it again! Haha thanks!

The fairy stuff I'm not worried about at all - I can whip out fairy-esque faces like nobody's business...haha. I always have a few more issues with boy designs. Still love to see them though!

@ Debi - I don't have a burner, but I would still love to see it!

@ Jenn - I have my BB too - and I've totally used it on the job - but I want to try out some faces before getting there

@ Tash - ooh, yes. Good idea. Will play

Heres the transformers....actually I had tat intl. makes these ones. I think sometimes once they make a stencil they may put in in their library. If you're interested you can see if its there to purchase.


This is what it looks like airbrushed (girly style ) but I have used my stencils with face paints too.

Can you post a like picture Debi done in face paints if it isn't too much trouble? I would like to see the difference between the two!

This brings up a good thought. I might try and see if I can make a stencil (one time use) using my Cricut. It won't hold up long since it will only be on cardstock, but it could be interesting to try.

I don't have a pic of the transformers in face paint right now but I can do one later on...or did you just wanna see what it looked like in general in FPs? Heres a soccer ball done with a stencil and FP and of course you can see the flames are hand painted in... then the next one the yellow bolt was sponged and then hand outlined in the blue and white.

Thanks Debi! I appreciate your posting samples!!

Did you use a brush or sponge with the stencils?

Those are great, Debi! Thanks

Debi do you have a link to the site with the stencils? I'd be curious to see everything they have available.

Thanks!

I use a sponge when using the FP on a stencil. Heres the link that will take you to the stencils. http://www.tatstore.com/categories/stencils

Thanks Debi! I really appreciate the info.

Thanks for the link and all the info!!!!!

Here is a pic of a mermaid I do....really simple and the girls like it alot. I usually do it on the arm and sometimes across the face.



Excuse the kitty... lol

Love the kitty:-)

Bumping this thread.

I never did get around to learning any Transformer designs. ABHOR them.

Today (oh maaan was today fun... ) I got asked for the Autobot logo. Fine. Whip out my Blackberry, and it takes me a little while with all the symmetrical lines and whatnot, but with a little outlining and some highlights, it looks pretty decent.

The next boy wants a full-face. And not just any Transformer - he wants Side Swipe. I have never even heard of this one (his mom was one of those helicopter parents I can't stand, who keep making inane suggestions about designs that I've never been asked for before and have never done). I try to pull up a picture but I can't find a close up face on, and the one image where he's almost facing straight out, it's a full body so by the time I zoom in it's all just pixels.

His mom pulls it up on her iPad (iPad at a birthday?) (it takes a good 5 minutes to even find a wireless signal and a photo) and I spend too much time trying a design where the photo is too small and it comes out looking like I've never held a brush before in my life. (Maybe a slight exaggeration.)

It was bad. And how much time it took led to other things I won't get into now, lol.

Anyway, he wasn't thrilled (helicopter mom kept asking, "do you like it?" and he would shrug so she'd ask again...and I just wanted to move on to the next kid).

I'm looking for any new, fast, recognizable Transformer designs! They are driving me out of my tree crazy. I haven't felt that bad about a design in a long time, haha.

Here you go this is my optimus It is hard to detail my son as well as any other child as he has ADHD It has changesd a little this is one I did when I just started face painting about 4 weeks in when he still let me paint him

heres the one I just did for the challenge

my optimus is a little different now. but I love doing transformers
would have a crack at sideswipe but lack volunteers and bumblebee was the first time I ever painted myself. will see if I can muster up a child as they come out better when not on myself.
now they dont take that long espcially bumblbee but I know them without thinking - My boy loves transformers and so did I as a kid!!!

What is the full name of the company you are referring to that made the stencils? Trying to find them online....

When I kid asks me for something I am completely unfamiliar with and/or don't want to attempt... I say "Sorry I'm afraid I don't know that one, it there something else you would like".

You can say "no" .... really, lightening won't strike or anything like that.

I refuse to do hockey logos... too much detail. So I just tell the people that ask that those are Licensed images and I can't paint them without permission (BTW that only works if you haven't been hired by the team... FYI )
