PHOTO ART & DEVIANTS
This thing was done did.
Just a quick scan from that Pee-rot Museum, using 15 quick and dirty photos. Here’s the thing:
And here’s one of the photos that helped generate this scan:
On the flip side, I have some new models to post. I need a little time to much with the photos and then I’ll post ’em.
Stay shaggy you fools.
All the work I’ve been doing on 3D scanning, photogrammetry and my vintage photo collection have been coming together.
There’s still so much more to do, but I feel I’m finally in place to put some pieces together to see how they fit. Thus, the “sketches” you see above. I wouldn’t call them successful or finished. But they’re necessary for me to evaluate the next steps.
3D scanning has been occupying my thoughts. I’m desperate to get to the next level, whatever that may be, of my work. Getting an accurate, detailed, photogrammetric scan of my subjects is the first step. I’m hitting the wall of my tiny kidney bean-like brain though… and my wallet, seriously… this this is getting expensive.
Still, the work goes on and I’ve made many prototypes of lighting rigs (lighting is my main enemy at this point). The necessary components of a good photogrammetric scan is control of the depth of field and maintaining focus in indirect light. There’s been some success though, I’ve included a few small scale test scans below, but you can see more on my Sketchfab site:

But I bet this 3D tomfoolery isn’t what you’re here for. You probably want to see some nekkidness… amiright?
Here’s a few more for the portfolio.
I’ve been talking about using your patronage to do 3D scans, to scan in models for use with my art and described the art as Baroque hentai mixed with pop culture, Monty Python and other strangeness as well. Fun words, I get that it doesn’t mean much though…
Which is why I’ve been putting together this “sketch”. I want you to see the process of creating this work: the failures and successes, the evolution of the concept, the influences and the things I steal directly from. I don’t want you to think of this as “concept art” as concept art needs to represent the final look and feel in some fashion. This sketch isn’t representative, it’s a fluid prototype – a tool for me to block in the composition, shapes and directions. It’s used for experimentation and play too. And over time as I home in the final piece, more permanent assets will be dropped in, placeholders replaced with final art and objects. Of course, the stand-ins will be replaced with the 3D scans and personalities of my models.
This first one, which I call “Daikichi” for now, has the primary figures in place. The flow seems to work so far. The lighting and environment are coming up next as I work on it. I’ve been out taking reference photos, scanning in elements. The renders below show some of the process.
Even now, as I look at it, I can see that it’s too complicated on the right and not complicated enough on the left. There’s still more blocking in to do.
Those Patreon contributors at the highest level will get an exclusive limited, signed and framed print of their choice of any of the completed pieces.
With your Patreon support I can continue to develop this piece and so many more (I’ll be sharing those sketches soon!). So whaddya say? Help a fellow perv nutcase create 3D art from photos and scans. Just click the button.
I’m bouncing around so many web sites, trying to get the word out about my new work and drumming up support for it, that I’m dragging behind on my actual web site.
So here’s some updates:
I’m in heavy recruitment mode right now. I want to shoot, a lot. Like tons. Fresh faces, new bodies, perverse minds – if you’re interested send me a note.
I’ve been scanning a lot of headstones lately too. Gathering assets for some of my upcoming work. Here’s an example of a test scan. Plenty to fix, but that’ll happen when I shoot the object. I’m learning with every scan. Anxious to expand this tech to include scanning of models… the anticipation. Ugh!
What about the photos? That never stops. What about the books? That never stops.
FYI – Patreon supporters get to have some sneak peeks, behind the scenes goodies. Dontcha’ want to be a part of that? (https://www.patreon.com/misterdevious)
