A Celebration of Artistry and Beauty
Hosted by the beautiful Rebecca Romijn, "Skin Wars" is a competition show that pits body painting artists against each other in a series of challenges. Verdicts are delivered by a panel of judges.
Each season, the producers try to throw more varied, more difficult, and more imaginative tasks at the artists. Such challenges can include camouflage work (where they attempt to make the model disappear into a background image), themed challenges (which can involve anything from super heroes to scenes from nature), or images inspired by the artists' own stories.
I love this show because it really illustrates the incredible talents of these artists. Painting is difficult, in general, but painting on a curved, movable surface presents some specific, harder challenges.
They also use different types of models. On one episode, they painted inspiring images on breast cancer survivors, which was very empowering and extremely beautiful.
It's nice to have television shows that celebrate artistry and beauty. "Skin Wars" is one of the best.

Love the concept; hate the judging
The shows concept is a really cool idea. However, the judges make it more about creating drama between the contestants than actually focusing on their artwork.
Why aren't the right winners chosen?!
I love this production, the art is amazing, Rupaul is one of my favourite characters of all time, but unfortunately I really don't think the judges picked the right winners of each season
Competition or Charity show
The idea and concept the this show is stunning seeing some of these amazing artist preform incredible pieces can be awe inspiring at times. So throughout the show competitor are reminded over and over this is a competition you are her to win, some forget that and others stay hard and true. Since the judges keep reminding the cast this you would think they would keep to there word but they don't. Low and behold finishing the 1 season the artist whom I believed should've won who had pure talent was disqualified even after following everything asked of the last challenged and taking what was learned and told told of him to change in his art style and brought out a amazing piece of art, now understand that this artist was always at the top almost every challenge but the judges still rejected this artist in favor of an over a horrible artist who throughout the entire show was in last or almost dropped out and skated along by sheer dumb luck and puffy eyes and didn't even follow the last challenge requirements but put a "what I like" on the canvas. At the end of the day the Artist you showed true talent, dedication and Confidence was denied in favor of someone who kept saying "but I worked real hard" threw some puffy eyes on and throw in some BS emotions and OMG the Judges found there charity.
