🕑 Added 2022-05-31 04:35:17 +0000 UTCHello friends! I'm back with a LOT of new content. The first post (the one you are reading) will be at the 2.22 tier, and include TONS of new photos from Phoenix Fan Fusion.
The second post will be at the 11.11 tier and include some behind the scenes photos showing how I created the shoulder pieces and attachments.
The final post tonight will be at the 15.15 tier and include nude body art from his test session.
All photography is by Dave Kelly, Mark Greenwalt, Andrea Hippauf-Reynolds, or Brandon McGill.
Hello friends! I'm back from the Con, specifically Phoenix Fan Fusion (Formerly Phoenix Comic-Con)!
This has been my favorite stage to paint on since 2016, when I debuted Cthulhu with Tyler Monzingo. This time I brought my frequent collaborator Spencer Llewelyn, and assistant Leigh Zagorin to create some magic.
The 4 models (besides Spencer) were: Elley Ringo, Griffin Maria, Tayler Vomacka and... (asking, will edit)
The 4 artists (besides myself) were: Mark Greenawalt, Brandy Wise, Danielle Devonn, and Carrie Esser
Here is Spencer and I on the runway after we finished a strong show.
Are you ready to see how we did it? Of course you do! First we had to attach the shoulders prosthetics (wanna know how I built them? Check out the next post)...
Was very happy I was able to detach it from the mannequin and get it on Spencer successfully! Leigh and I began his big transformation. Also I wore a fun wig like I was a grown up Deku or something. XD
We only had 2 hours to do this, which is why I had my assistant help! I mostly had him help me with the black and white stripes, but he also stoned the artwork at the end. For my part, I had to paint like the wind, while also talking to the audience and acting as the DJ. It was a lot of fun! Want the playlist?

The next three photos were shot by Dave Kelly, a well known local photographer here.
People don't realize we're out in the open too! Everyone is watching our every move.
When I create, it's like nothing else exists except myself and the person I'm making art with.
And I think this one really surprised some people! It's campy and fun!
The back of Spencer's underwear were pretty cheeky until I added artwork. :P
I remember flying through it though, until Mark announced "10 minutes left until you have to put your brushes down!"
I think we did pretty great given the time limit, and I loved everyone's artwork! What did you think?
Here is everyone once more, so you can see our artwork next to each other!
Lots of beautiful art? Have any favorites?
Quite a show right?
If you're interested, the next post at 11.11 will include more photos including construction shots of how I built the shoulder art less than 24 hours before the show! No matter the tier, thanks for your support (and I love your thoughts).
With appreciation,
Brandon
