For years we have analyzed how that particular arc of Akira Toriyama’s manga and anime has become a matter of constant obsession For fans of the old and new school.
The tributes in the field of Fan Art and cosplay around that story and all its characters, both heroes and villains, are counted by lots. There is such a degree of saturation that when an artist achieves a remarkable session, he stands out much more than in all other scenarios.

Dragon Ball Z: Android 18 receives its best bodypaint tribute thanks to VanetSan
To be honest with the local context, the cosplay scene and bodypaint artists in Latin America is much more compact and discreet than in the United States and other latitudes of the planet outside the continent.
That is why the great regional celebrities of said medium have a few thousand followers when at the opposite end of the territory there are exponents with much more robust communities.
That is how VanetSanWith her little more than 8,000 followers on Instagram, she is considered a celebrity thanks to the support of her followers on other platforms such as Twitch and Facebook. Having in her portfolio impressive sessions like this tribute to Android 18 from Dragon Ball Z:
Except for the shoes and an understandable decision to disguise the underwear as a belt, the rest of the components in the wardrobe of this cosplay session are done with bodypaint.
We see how the look and appearance of Android 18 is recreated, with some relative liberties, in the Cell saga. Where body painting recreates the character’s wardrobe in detail.
Although there are some aesthetic decisions that differ from the original design, as in the case of the hair, we find ourselves before a spectacular session in honor of this character.
We highly recommend visiting the social networks of this artist. The tributes in her portfolio are admirable.
