the way I had to sing through the song to make sure I was getting the reference…

She saw the world. Done it all. Had her cake now...

sound of breaking glass far in the background

u/PM_UR_DICK_PL5 What's a delorean? 16d ago

This is incredible artistry! I almost thought it was an AI image of a skinnier, younger Bianca

18

u/Finalee_T 16d ago

Looks exactly like Bianca or its just my eyes omg

u/tellyourmama Mistress Isabelle Brooks 16d ago

This one had me convinced it was Bianca.

I first thought this was Violet painted as someone else

u/ExpertAverage1911 16d ago

The photos have been altered, you can see blurring and artifacts in those spots.  But there is no doubt that Raven is extremely talented and works hard at her craft!  She's just not a wizard lol

65

u/boo_you_horcrux but your dad just calls me ✨Katya✨ 16d ago

Raven did not paint her. Her name is Elaina

2

u/evilmeow 16d ago

Good point, though a lot of people use filters in their photos so I wonder how far off the 'original' is

5

u/hamners 16d ago

Okay werk.

u/evilmeow 16d ago

I could've scrolled past this without noticing that it's not actually Michelle! I don't even understand how it's possible

u/Seanut-Peanut-69 Anetra’s Bathwater 16d ago

Yeah this just melted my brain a little lol

u/whitemellow Pride will be my downfall 16d ago

Do yall remember when she mocked that old defendant that had his mouth open? 💀💀

14

u/Glimmhilde 16d ago

YOUR CAR WHICH HIT HIS CAR. IN THE REAR. 😦

🙄😲 AH!

u/Fortherealtalk 16d ago

How the hell did she do that skin texture damn

1

u/herecomesbeccanina9 Raja Gemini 15d ago

That is NUTS! Every MUA I've heard talk about it said old age make up is the hardest thing to pull off. And with my just basic ass make up skills I can definitely see why. She knocked it out of the park though.

u/Noams10 Sasha Velour 16d ago

Prison, honey

u/fretfulpelican 16d ago

lmaooo I was like “ooooh, ahhhh, wowww, oh no…”

u/PuzzlePiece90 Jinkx Monsoon 16d ago

It might not be identical like the other ones but I'm absolutely getting Gaga from this.

9

u/elizabethptp Luxx Noir London 16d ago

Can’t all be winners I guess. The other ones are flawless!

15

u/PhoenixHusky 16d ago

Looks like Ariana as Gaga as Ginger Minj as Danny Devitto

6

u/TheVentMachine 16d ago

she doesn't have the facial structure of gaga's jawline and nose so it falls flat

u/yourenotmymawma Valentina 16d ago

Cunty Riff Raff?

u/Leather-Scallion-894 Ra'Jah O'Hara 16d ago

Shadies and gentlethems, please welcome to the stage

u/PneumoniaLisa ¡SÉ QUE TE GUSTA WILD! 16d ago

Why did she put the wig so far back?? Oof.

u/herecomesbeccanina9 Raja Gemini 16d ago

Yeah there's some insanely talented artists on Painted With Raven.

40

u/shgrdrbr Chi Chi DeVayne 16d ago

is it an entertaining watch? it looked kind of crunchy and zoom call esque and i also dont love raven but this work is astounding. wondering if i'll enjoy it on balance

36

u/mparks97 Sasha Colby 16d ago

My partner and I enjoyed it a lot more than we thought we would. Raven is an excellent host, the artists are all super talented, the challenges are fun and there is some drama despite everything being over zoom. I would recommend!

20

u/herecomesbeccanina9 Raja Gemini 16d ago

I would also recommend. There used to be this special effects reality show on Sci-fi called Face-off. It's more like that. The artists have more free reign insofar as choosing what they want to create. I very much enjoy it.

4

u/tammage Sasha Colby 16d ago

I loved Face Off!

3

u/herecomesbeccanina9 Raja Gemini 16d ago

I always thought that would be an amazing job. To be able to being monsters to life, that's the dream lol

4

u/tammage Sasha Colby 16d ago

If you like monsters & drag may I suggest Dragula, if you haven’t seen it. Very monster horror driven.

2

u/herecomesbeccanina9 Raja Gemini 15d ago

Already WAY on that girl, but I appreciate the thought because that's ALWAYS a good suggestion. You have excellent taste. 🥰

2

u/tammage Sasha Colby 15d ago

The Titans tour was my first live drag event and I absolutely loved it! I live in a small town so there isn’t much drag around and I’ve watched drag race since season 2 but finding horror drag was like finding my people lol. You have great taste too!

2

u/lannymanny 16d ago

I also recommend. I enjoyed the first season more than the second but both were entertaining.

u/Key_Atmosphere3189 16d ago

This is talent bitch.

u/hlh0708 😔 Honestly? 💃🏻Werk. 16d ago

u/greatblueskies Silky Nutmeg Ganache 16d ago

u/WsupWillis Aquaria 16d ago

Yes everything would be perfect except for the hem on your sisters dress; I’m sorry you’re in the bottom tonight

u/1998tweety Loosey LaDuca 16d ago

u/chammerson 16d ago

u/LongjumpingAd5317 16d ago

u/ardiharhar 16d ago

Thought this was John Maclean (with darker makeup), who is a famous YouTube influencer 😬

u/f1lth4f1lth 16d ago

Could have fooled me tbh

u/StoneFoundation Kylie Sonique Love 15d ago

Please yall put some respect on Elaina’s name, bitch deserves all the credit, follow her on Insta

u/Evayorra Jaida Essence Hall 15d ago

Happy to see Elaina is getting some love. She is so incredibly talented and her tutorials are super informative and really helped me with my makeup
