K.O. was a dynamic editorial shoot inspired by the iconic characters of the video game Tekken, later published in 17.23 Magazine. I was the lead makeup artist on the project, creating bold, stylized looks with elements of SFX to bring each fighter to life.
To push the cartoonish, hyperreal aesthetic, I sculpted defined ab muscles directly onto the model, exaggerating their form for a graphic, game-like impact. The makeup combined sharp contouring, vivid colours, and textured details to match the energy and intensity of classic arcade fighters. This shoot was all about celebrating character through transformation — and being part of a team that brought that vision to print was an unforgettable experience.
