My voice is my own! I will not give it away to AI nor do I consent to anyone training AI with any of my art, including my voice!

Please continue to support artists so we can easily refuse jobs like this one 🎨

Happy Trans Day! Last year I tried on a dress for the first time and recorded the experience on camera. This is also when I first transformed into a tigress with blue stripes!

Not everyone can be "visible" today, but I hope we all find some joy 🌈

Since I reduced my Ko-Fi Tiers to only 1 now, I thought it deserved a new title art :> ❄️ early access to my art and see it before anyone else does. ❄️ HighRes Files and Sketches that I won't post anywhere else ❄️ Alternate versions if done ❄️ occasional time-lapse and source files will be shared ❄️ Adoptables and YCHs will be shown before made publicly so you have the chance of grabbing them before they will be posted ❄️ -5% of any item in my Shop

Oh hey! I'm back from the winter break! I just posted a newsletter about what I'll be getting up to, including upcoming videos and my creative direction for the year.

Also, I am starting to use Ko-Fi more! And I'm thinking about changing how I use Patreon.

PAX Body Paint - Don’t Use It On Skin

Up until recently I suggested PAX, a mixture of acrylic paint and pros-aide,  as a skin-safe body paint specifically when using Liquitex acrylic paint. This was based off a variety of sources that recommended it for use on skin including cosplayers, makeup artists in forums, published sources and a SFX makeup wiki. Some of these sources specified that Liquitex was the only skin-safe acrylic paint option and the MSDS mostly supported that. Even the pros-aide adhesive website recommended PAX for use on skin! While I do my best to post accurate information, and promote safety, there is always misinformation and room for human error. 

Last month I recommended PAX in a post and I had several people message me that PAX was not safe for use on skin. I would like to thank them all for bringing it to my attention, especially arkadycosplay​  who pointed it out first. Some of those who messaged me were qualified SFX makeup artists and I really did value their feedback, but it was important for me to get responses from the companies themselves. So I e-mailed both Liquitex and Pros-Aide to see if I could get an official response. 

Below the cut:

Liquitex’s Response / Pros Aide’s Response / Apology / Cosplay Tutorial’s Next Steps  / Thanks

TL;DR:

Liquitex does not recommend their products be used on skin. This disputes the claims that PAX is safe on skin, or safe on skin if Liquitex acrylic paint is used. PAX body paint is not recommended as an option for body painting and Cosplay Tutorial will not recommend it any further.

Someone suggested using PAX/acrylic paint and mixing it with ProsAid to make a waterproof bodypaint. Do not do this!

Please check to make sure the paints you are using are skin safe before using.

Some are not meant to go around the eyes or lips. I recently made this mistake myself, so read labels carefully.

Big thanks to @cosplaytutorial for doing this research!

If I need to be waterproof, I use alcohol-based face/bodypaints. These are harder to work with, but are safe to use on skin.

Stay safe! We want to be able to transform for many years!
