What this video covers

This tutorial by Madeyewlook recreates the eerie tree-form transformation of Fran Bow, the protagonist of the indie horror game Fran Bow. The look combines multi-brand body paints in earthy and cool tones to build a bark-like, nature-infused character effect across the face and body. A DIY hair piece fashioned from a black beanie adorned with leaves and flowers completes the character-accurate cosplay. The creator is a self-described passionate fan of the game, and the enthusiastic tone carries throughout the roughly five-minute video.
