Kay Pike uses body paint to transform her model looks to that of comic book heroes and villains in what she called Cospainting, a variation on the Cosplay theme.
She is model and designer now has over 237,000 fans on Instagram and now live streams her creations from start to finish which can take up to 15 hours and cost up to $150 for just the paint alone.
Kay's work includes popular comic book characters including Superman, Spider-man, Iron Man, Robin from Batman as well as cult figures from the world of Marvel and Japanese manga.
Originally a fan of dressing up for Cosplay Events, Kay discovered that she could use her artistic skills and transform her appearance with paint instead of clothing.
After posting the initial results online she soon found she had thousands of followers.
She only started painting herself in December 2015 and it was after she did a face painting version of "Attack on Titan", a character with a skinless body that it went viral and she was invited to stream painting live online where she has been doing a body painting live stream on TwitchTV twice a week ever since.
Although Kay has only been practicing body painting for the past few years, she has always been interested in art.
Kay was a fine art painter long before she tried her hand Cospainting.
She said that she's slowly been learning how to paint herself by trial and error as it was a much more difficult medium to work on as the body paint don't behave in at all the same way as canvas paint do.
After she finished painting a photoshoot to record it and uploads the pictures and videos to the Internet.
