Armed with an array of body paint and brushes, Kay Pike can transform into any superhero or villain.
The Canadian cosplayer paints on her own body to make herself look like 2D characters from TV and comics, including Marvel's Spider-Man and Cheetara from ThunderCats.
Pike walked Tech Insider through her truly trippy work. Take a look below.
Pike has been a skilled painter since she was young, but she started cosplay body-painting (or "cospainting" as she calls it) in December. She sharpened her craft with the help of fellow cospainter Lianne Moseley.
She now live-streams her process twice per week on Twitch. More than 15,200 people viewed her latest livestream of She-Hulk.

Marvel's She-Hulk.
Pike uses a water-based face paint and a special makeup to help it stick. She says she needs 10 to 15 bottles of paint to create just one character, which runs between $80 to $150.
