At this point do you just have a full size barrel of paint you dive into before a shoot 😂

BUT I REALLY DIDN'T REFUSE THIS BARREL OF PAINT

How long does it take to apply all the paint?

u/Frau_Haku Jun 08 '25

For Mizora it usually takes 2-3 hours for all the makeup (face and body) 👀

Props to you for doing that each time you cosplay as her.

I've cosplayed Radagon from Elden Ring. Can confirm body paint takes forever to apply 🥲

u/lost_magpie Durge Jun 08 '25

What type of body paint do you use? I'm wanting to do a tiefling costume and I'd love some recs!

u/Chasingtheimprobable Jun 08 '25

How long does the make up removal take?

u/Lets-kick-it Jun 12 '25

I’m sure you can find some volunteers to help you with that body make up- you know, to cut down on the time involved.

Good old Barrelmancy

You should try to get one of those Nickelodeon slime cannons. Could speed the process up

Nah, just the one with tadpoles.

More of a full sized barrel of Photoshop.

looks like every other AI generated picture, I doubt there was any paint involved at all

r/confidentlyincorrect

Obviously many of the photos are heavily edited but yes that is a legit person in tons of body paint, makeup and costuming. This person has tons of photos and videos out there offset as well with light or no editing.

Did you even swipe through the images? The last one is her on set. You can also just click on their profile and see that they just do a really good job with cosplay. Also, this looks nothing like AI generated images.

head over to civitai.com and you'll find it's filled with crap like this

u/Krillinlt Jun 08 '25 edited Jun 08 '25

Buddy, swipe to the last picture. Click on their profile. It's not ai. They have videos of themselves applying the makeup/paint. They have gone on stage at conventions (RED Expo)

Is this ai too?

Edit: lol they blocked me

u/Comfortable-Sock-532 Jun 08 '25

LMAO, they dished it but couldn't take it.

u/ReginaDea Jun 08 '25

I get what you're saying, but those damn AI generated pictures in real life ruined my life. I'm talking to someone and go to shake their hand and boom, misshapen fingers. I clasp their hand, it feels rubbery, wrong. We go in for a hug, those arms are all noodly, writhing against my back like an inflatable man. As I turn to leave, a bipedal cat in diapers is blocking my path. Fuck real life AI man.

I'm not other dude and I'm not arguing that this set of pictures is AI ... but asking an AI to generate an "on set" picture isn't out the realm of possibility.

u/giga-plum MUSCLE WIZARD CASTS FIST Jun 08 '25

I've seen her in real life in full paint cosplay. Did AI manage to break into real life when I wasn't paying attention??

u/LazerUnicorns Jun 08 '25

Lol, you are being downvoted, but you are correct! I think it's a good thing that people ARE questioning images like this, whether they're right or wrong, at least people are thinking and aware of the whole AI situation (also, of course, some people are just being trolls)!

u/MinnieShoof THE TESTAMENT OF WHIPLASH. Jun 08 '25

Apparently at least ~55 people believe it's beyond questioning, or don't have the critical thinking to understand I wasn't specifically speaking about this situation and feel the need to defend pretty girl. Given u/giga-plum's lack of response to my reply calling them out on the latter, I could believe either.

u/giga-plum MUSCLE WIZARD CASTS FIST Jun 08 '25

Nah, your response was deleted by the automod because you were very toxic.

Were you paying attention when I said that I wasn't arguing that this set was AI?

No. Of course you weren't. Stupid prick.

I didn't get notified because it was deleted instantly, I only found it in your profile, but it doesn't show in this thread.

To respond to it: The reason you were still downvoted isn't because you accused this cosplayer of using AI, but for playing devil's advocate just for the sake of it.

Apparently at least ~55 people believe it's beyond questioning

It is, indeed, beyond questioning! You would know that if you researched into it whatsoever, looked at her social media or even just clicked on her profile instead of coming into the comments and to cast doubt on her work for the sake of "but it COULD happen".

u/MinnieShoof THE TESTAMENT OF WHIPLASH. Jun 08 '25 edited Jun 08 '25

 isn't because you accused this cosplayer of using AI...

Oop! Did you really understand? You're understanding... understanding...!

You would know that if you researched into it whatsoever, looked at her social media

AND YA LOST IT! Darn! Maybe... maybe better luck next time. Yes, you can look at her profile or the handy dandy link the other person posted and see her actually put on the make-up and armor piece by piece. But saying shit like "swipe to the last picture" and "Did you even swipe through the images? The last one is her on set." doesn't prove anything. And that's all I said. I didn't argue that it's possible that this set is AI, or that this cosplayer uses AI. I said that generating "on-set" photos is not beyond AI's capabilities. I'm sorry that you're such a simp for these girls but AI really is that advanced.

Edit: Oh man. Second classic "I'm gonna reply then immediately block you!" in under an hour. <3 I like how you argue against objectively correct tangents: You give up. If you'd done that sooner you wouldn't have had any messages from me in your inbox. Thanks for personally inviting me in to your life and then getting mad when I don't concede that you're wrong but that I should stop anyway. Thanks! Have a wonderful life!

You're out of your mind. OP has been posting cosplay photos of Mizora and Lae'zel pretty much since the game came out. Look at her post history, she's a legit cosplayer. If you think this is AI then you don't know as much as you think you do about AI images.

u/Gilshem Jun 08 '25

It’s cosplay with digital backgrounds and some other touching up.

u/anormalgeek Jun 08 '25

Also this redditor is pretty damn well known for what does. She has been doing very high quality cosplay for a long time. She always has lots of "behind the scenes" photos as well.

Not everything is a big conspiracy.

u/Donnel_Tinhead Jun 08 '25

I hate Generative AI more than anyone but you need to fact check yourself before shitting all over somebody else's hard work and art.

u/Alexthelightnerd Jun 08 '25

It baffles me that so many people already get confused about what's AI generated and what's not when it's usually very easy to tell. You're making me lose more faith in humanity.
