Maya from Borderlands bodypainting
Maya from Borderlands gets the realistic bodypainting treatment, and the results are nothing short of amazing, blending cell-shading style and realism to deliver a final product that is both stunning and surreal. Both the Borderlands Maya and the Borderlands 3 Maya are included in the art, with the bodypainter impressively transforming into both characters with stunning accuracy. Maya is just one of the many characters from the game that the bodypainter has painted on themselves, with past bodypaintings including Cortana, and a version of Maya with the All Seeing Eye.
The Borderlands Maya bodypainting starts with a mix of water-activated bodypaints for the skin and regular acrylic paints for Maya’s signature red hair. The artist then begins to blend into their skin the signature outlines and curves of Maya’s body, creating a surreal and almost otherworldly effect.
The artist receives many compliments for their talent, with many users expressing disbelief that the bodypaint is real rather than CGI. The painted wig also adds to the overall effect, with one user noting the incredible detail in the hair with specific compliments to the black stripping.
Many users express their love for Maya as a character and their disappointment at her absence from Borderlands 3. A few suggest that the bodypainter would make an excellent cosplay of Melinoe from Hades II. Another humorous comment suggests that aiming the camera lower would make the post a front-page gaming sensation.
Otherwise, there are many comments in support of the bodypainter’s work and the character of Maya, with many comments expressing excitement about the upcoming Borderlands movie and the hope that it will take a similar artistic approach.
There are a mix of positive and negative comments, but overall the bodypainting is met with a lot of admiration. It’s worth noting that some users make jokes and light-hearted comments, but there are a few that make inappropriate remarks about the bodypainting and Maya herself. The artist acknowledges some of this support but also thanks those who have made comments that cross the line.
