The Elusive Ninja

I hate my ninja... there's nothin' worse than slapping black all over a kids face
Here's what I do but was wondering if ya'll had anything better....

be inspired by:

If I wasn't on my way to bed - with no intentions of doing so with black facepaint or spend time washing it of - I would try it. Maybe tomorrow...

Oh! I like that... nope... 10pm at night is not a good time to try that out... I have a dentist apt tomorrow & think I should go black free... Maybe tomorrow afternoon...

Ohh I like that too. I have a weird thing for ninjas, along with other things weird......

It might be good to do a mask only with the Japanese symbols above ala the Ninja Turtles....only black.

My first Ninja try. I did take some step-by-steps, but I can not upload until I get the cable to connect to the computer (it takes too long uploading from the telephone). Think it is okay, but there are some things I would change. Firs ask the child if they want black all over. Maybe they just want a (Ninja turtle) mask or maybe a red band on their forehead is what they are looking for. Else I would rip the fabric more, to show more of the teeth.
But is was fun trying =)
(the symbol should say "Ninja", but it is a bit hard writing looking in a mirror!)

all i can say is wow!....excellent!!!

Great Lone!! I generally talk the kids out of "ninjas" but this has planted the idea of how to do one that looks good!! Thanks.

Holy cow! That's awesome!!! I know exactly what my ninja will be looking like from here on out.

I am happy - and a bit surprised - that you like it

Lone that's super amazing! Thank you for sharing! OK, now you need some of that wrinkle cream for around your eyes
I'm waiting for a moment to try this... I can't be all black yet today... stupid meetings

Yes, I did feel quite old *lol*

Looking forward to see your version

GREAT job! You erased the feminine so well I forgot it was you! You've inspired me yet again!!

Lone, you are awesome!!
I have never done a ninja, nor been asked to do one... I wonder if I can convince any one to let me try.. love it!! The wrinkles totally finish it off!

YAY! luv it

Love it!

love your ninja!

jeez Lone, I'm not even going to attempt whatever it is you did around your eyes. But it is amazing.

Lone that's incredible. Totally amazing Ninja

I finally had a chance to give it a try(and then the mailman came & I had to answer the door as a ninja )> HeeHee!
But, here's my take on it:

I tried writing the symbol for smoke w/ my glitter gel....

Scary! Would have loved seeing the mailman's reaction!
One thing I would say is try to make the wrinkles in softer shades - like light brown instead of white and a lighter colour brown - and look at real ones to see how they go. It is always better to see the real ones, than other peoples interpretations of it (:

Hee Hee! Those are my real wrinkles... I scrunched up my face & tried to follow the lines... it didn't work real well(it does for my dragons).
I also tried to do it from the pic & not your design. I think I like how you brought the design in at the sides of the eyes better than how I did it.
It's still way better than those poor kids at the beginning of the post!
Thank you for the inspiration!

OK, is anyone else going to give the ninja a try?

But I guess they are all not the same thickness? ;-)

THATS SO COOL!!

Lone Wolfe, I showed your picture to my husband and said "this is what I want to be able to do one day," and he says I think you could do that. . .if you leave off the teeth, but it wouldn't look as good on you as it does on that guy" I had to convience him your wrinkles were paint! Lol! Fabulous Job!

Linda! I would have loved to see the look on the mailman's face too
