# Animalistic Hand Paintings Lara Hawker Transforms Her Hands into the Face of a Tiger By M | Published 2014-08-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-of-a-tiger References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2014/08/25/Tiger-Hand-Painting/) & [larahawker.deviantart](http://larahawker.deviantart.com/art/Tiger-hand-painting-477482514) Artist and face paint extraordinaire Lara Hawker posted this amazing photograph of her visage covered by hands with the painted face of a tiger. The image breathtakingly merges the immaculate animalistic face paint work with Hawker's own face making her seem like some kind of superhuman tiger girl. Hawker has made a name for herself as a special effects artist and her talent for recreating all sorts of lifelike things from paint. In this image, Hawker has recreated the face of a tiger onto her hands. One of her hands features a design of a tiger's mouth while the other features a print of the tiger's orange eye. When her hands are stacked onto her face, they make it look as though Hawker is half tiger and half human. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Animalistic Face Paint:** Opportunity for face paint artists to explore new and creative designs inspired by animals. - **Special Effects Makeup:** Innovation opportunities for special effects artists to incorporate animalistic designs into their work. - **Hybrid Face Paint:** Potential for face paint artists to experiment with transforming human features into animalistic characteristics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Entertainment:** Opening up possibilities for artists to showcase their creativity in animal-inspired face paint. - **Film and Television:** Opportunity for special effects makeup artists to create realistic animalistic makeup for characters in movies and TV shows. - **Cosmetics and Beauty:** Potential for makeup brands to develop animalistic face paint products for consumers interested in unique and bold looks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Leftover Househouse Paint Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-drop.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Human Hair-Made Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/range-of-pots.md) - [Tiger-Inspired Alcohol Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhang-enli.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Human Nature-Themed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-im-awake.md) - [CGI-Generated Brand Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiger-beer-1.md)
