The dominant behavior being exhibited by the Leopard can be corrected, simply crate her up and ship her to me, and she'll be purrfectly tamed in about two to four weeks of intense, behavioral and physical therapy. Β On second thought, send them both! Β

Nah, it's perfectly safe for the kids, no interspecies mating here, just a brutal attack to kill

Wow, it looks like a lot of work for the setup, and crawling around in the straw probably wasn't much fun, either! The zebra looks like she's enjoying herself....
I really like this shot a lot! Good work!

Amazing ! I'd love to do some body paint shots !

It's great fun to shoot, but it's like watching paint dry whilst the painting is being done.

Silly me, didn't bother to take any. I was too busy getting the studio set up and trying to deal with one of the models obnoxious boyfriend (ended up kicking him out).

Extremely artistic! Love this work from sheer bodypainting angle alone! You have done a great job of composition and lighting as well.
Just a little nit, one of the models (cheetah) appears to be wearing an underwear. Was that deliberate?
Thanks

Thank you for the comment.
Yeah that was one of my big issues about the shoot too. It was put up as a casting call for nude models. Both the models agreed to pose nude. Both the makeup artists insisted they wear G-strings (due to hygeine reasons they said). I tried to argue the point that it would ruin the artistic vision I had, in the end I had to let it go.

Aww that sux. Perhaps if the g-strings matched with the body paint, it would have been VERY nice. It is still a neat concept though. Hope to see more of your works. You certainly have a great imagination

Thank you. The g-strings were painted though.
There will be lots of new work coming soon, as soon as I can get it edited anyway.

It was loadsa fun too. I'm going to revisit bodypainting again soon

This is so different! I've never thought of using the body as a canvas but will let you know if I think of a way to incorporate it into my work. You have deffinately given me an idea!

Look forward to hearing from you. I hope we can collaborate on something like that. You can view more of my work at [link]

Thank you, yes as the photographer it was frustrating waiting 5 hours before I could take a shot.

Interesting. Very "simple" painting and the background is great.

Thanks, the painting should have been much more detailed but the MUA had lots of problems with the airbrush and compressor
