Description If it's war you want, it's war you'll get. I've played nice, but now I stand my ground. Don't underestimate me, I'll show you just how deadly my sting can be.


Inspired by a girl I saw putting on makeup on a train, it was a pretty bumpy ride, but she knew exactly what she was doing, eyeliner in one flick, lipstick gliding in a perfect circle, I swear she also stopped just before a really bumpy bit, like she knew. Honestly I thought even if it did go wrong, like she got lipstick on her cheek, she would just roll with it and turn it into warpaint. She had that kind of determination, it already looked like she was applying warpaint!

Trying to get better at painting soft and lose without being too blurry... hmm.. the girl is called Ash, she happens in some drawings from me. Generally when in need of some kick-ass attitude

Peace, love and warpaint,
~Blue x

Great work of art first off!   You come up often in DA's What's Hot category.

That reminds me, there was a 1961 UK hit song by the Brook Brothers called "Warpaint" in reference to overdoing makeup. I don't like to drop links in someone else's page, but the info I gave should be enough to search it out on YouTube. Kind of upbeat as early 60s rock tended to be.

I know this is like 3 years old, but this is honestly my favorite piece of art ever
Better than the mona lisa tbh
Whenever anyone asks me "Do you have a favorite artist/drawing?" This comes up

I was wondering

Is it possible to get a print of this?
I checked out your shop, but I live in America, so I can't buy it with pounds.

Yes, but in that manner I get a very crappy home print job and miss out on an autograph from one of my favorite artists

Here's what I thought it meant:

Girls are pressured to look beautiful and wear makeup. However, you can see that the girl is not wearing lipstick. She's sick and tired of having to conform to what others believe so she smears the lipstick on her face in an act of defiance to resemble warpaint.

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning!
Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up aSPECIALROOM to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died.
Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death.
Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best day of ur life tomorrow. u will either get kissed or asked out, if u break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room tonight. in 53 mins someone will say i love you or imSORRY

This reminds me of the scene in Inglourious Basterds where Shosanna Dreyfus is getting ready for the premiere. Her blush almost looks like warpaint before she blends it in. XD
