MODELING

One of the reasons I'm able to do above-average photoshop eyes in my TF stories is that I act as my own eye model, so I can take photos of my eyes at all kinds of angles, looking in all kinds of directions, with all kinds of expressions.

I wrote up this instruction on how to serve as an eye model so that your own eyes can appear on this blog after a fan expressed interest in having her eyes appear in a story.  In the end she got cold feet, which I totally get.  However, I took the time to type up these detailed instructions, so I thought I'd leave them here just in case anyone else wanted to volunteer their eyes to my work.

Anyone interested in sending in photosets of their own eyes, so that their eyes can star in a TF story, is encouraged to do so (although there will be no guarantees on how quickly a story using your eyes might appear)!  What follows is a set of instructions for any interested eye models, outlining exactly what needs to be included in an eye modeling package, and how to go about getting it!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

There isn't much that you'll need to be an eye model, but there are three things that not everybody will have:
  1. A digital camera - It doesn't have to be an expensive one, but a cell phone camera will produce results that have the right resolution or clarity, and more importantly, you aren't going to be able to get the right angles if you're holding the device that's photographing you.  Most digital cameras will have a timer function on them, so you'll be able to press the photo button and the camera will wait 5 seconds before taking a photograph (or even a quick series of photographs), giving you time to pose.  When you take your photographs, set your camera to its highest resolution.
  2. A well-lit area where you can look like a goofball - The photographs shouldn't be taken with flash on, so you'll need to be well lit from other sources.  You'll probably want a private area, because you'll look pretty silly while doing this.
  3. To be at least eighteen years old - Self-explanatory.  I know these are just photographs of your eyes, but I can't use them in my art if you're underage.  If  you're underage, you shouldn't even be here.

THE EMOTIONS

For each emotion that I'll need your eyes to portray, I'll need versions from different angles with your eyes looking in different directions.  This is fully explained in the next section, "The Angles".  This means that each of these emotions will need 15-23 photographs, and keep in mind that it is often hard to capture these angles correctly when you're your own photographer - you might need 5-10 tries for each shot to get it right, meaning that each emotion will possibly involve posing 100+ times!

My major piece of advice would be that you shouldn't try to just act with your eyes - it won't look right.  Make these expressions with your whole face!

The following are the emotions I'll need expressed:
  1. Wide-eyed shock - Think the shot in the vagina TF story where the vagina is being pleasured for the first time, or the shot in the toilet TF story where the toilet is being used for the first time, or the shot in every TF story where the victim first realizes what has happened to him/her.
  2. Anxious fear - Think the shot in the vagina TF story where the tormentor is threatening to pleasure the vagina, or the shot in the toilet TF story where the tormentor is threatening to use the toilet.
  3. Resigned sadness - Think of the shots in the TF story where the victim is resigning themselves to the permanent loss of their humanity, and they just want to cry.
  4. Orgasmic pleasure - The part of the TF story where the victim is learning how good it feels to serve his/her new purpose.
For each of those four emotions, I'll need the full gamut of 15-23 photographs outlined in the next section.  For the following additional emotion, I'll need only three photographs:
  1. Wide-eyed, cross-eyed shock - Think the shot in the vagina TF story where the vagina is out of its mind with pleasure and just staring at the dildo and/or penis that is penetrating it.  For this shot, I'll only need a portrait view with eyes looking down and cross-eyed (just stare at the tip of your nose), a three-quarters view with eyes looking down and cross-eyed (again just stare at your nose), and a tilted view with eyes looking down and cross-eyed (ditto).
These are the emotions I'd like to receive in a package from any aspiring eye model.  In addition, the following emotions would give me more options in my stories, but are not required:
  1. Anger - Usually in my stories, my victims are more terrified and submissive than angry, but once in a while it's good to have an angry eyes shot.
  2. Boredom - Usually my stories don't go on long enough to get to the phase where the victim is feeling resigned boredom, but it's good to have these shots as well.

THE ANGLES

For each emotion you're doing, you'll need a whole set of photographs of your face from different angles, with your eyes looking in different directions, so that I can place your eyes into all kinds of different positions in space.  Don't try to get too close in on your eyeballs with the camera - just take photographs of your whole face.

PORTRAIT VIEW

This is a view of your face pointed straight ahead into the camera.  From this position, I'll need to have a photograph of your eyes looking:
  1. Straight at the camera
  2. Up
  3. Left (or right)
  4. Down
You don't need to look both left and right, because the portrait view is symmetrical.  If I need portrait eyes looking left and have a photograph of them looking right, I can always just reflect them in Photoshop.  In addition to the necessary eye positions, the following bonus eye positions would give me more options:
  1. Up and to the left (or right)
  2. Down and to the left (or right)

THREE-QUARTERS VIEW

This is a view of your face turned slightly away from the camera to the left (or right).  Here, it's important that your face isn't pointed too far away from the camera.


The test for whether you've turned too far is that your nose should not be blocking any element of either of your eyes.  None of my TF victims still have noses, so I can't use a partially-blocked eye in any of my stories!  I need to fully capture both eyes.

From the three-quarters position, I'll need to have a photograph of your eyes looking:
  1. Straight ahead (in the direction your face is pointing)
  2. At the camera
  3. Up
  4. Left
  5. Right
  6. Down
Note that I need shots of the eyes looking both left and right here, because the three-quarters view is not symmetrical.  In addition to the necessary eye positions, the following bonus positions would give me even more options:
  1. Up and to the left
  2. Down and to the left
  3. Up and to the right
  4. Down and to the right

TILTED VIEW

This is like the portrait view of your face, but with your head tilted back slightly (so that the camera is looking up your nose a little bit).  Imagine, for example, that I'm doing a chair TF, or a vagina TF where the woman who owns the vagina is laying down - I need a shot where the face is pointed up into the air.  Like with the three-quarters view, it's important that this angle be subtle.  Say 20 degrees tilt or so.  It's important that the nostrils, the cheekbones, etc. don't block any element of the eyes (just like it's important that the nasal ridge not block any of the eyes in the three-quarters view).

From the tilted view, I'll need to have a photograph of your eyes looking:
  1. Straight ahead (in the direction your face is pointing)
  2. At the camera
  3. Up
  4. Left (or right)
  5. Down
Note that the tilted position, like the portrait position, has left-right symmetry, so I don't need both directions.  In addition to the necessary eye positions, the following bonus positions would give me even more options:
  1. Up and to the left (or right)
  2. Down and to the left (or right)

SUBMISSIONS

The file size of your collection of photographs is probably pretty big now.  Bundle them all up in ZIP files by emotion, and send the ZIP files one at a time to my email address at anonysteve@gmail.com.  Or, if you have an account on a photo collection site somewhere where you don't mind temporarily posting these photos, just send me a link to that.  If you have privacy concerns about sending me a bunch of portraits of yourself, please feel free to crop all of the images around your eyes, eyebrows, eyelids, and surrounding areas.  However, it may be easier if you just send them to me and I use Photoshop to take the material that I need - this way, you won't risk accidentally cropping too closely around your eyes.  In either case, no one but will ever see these photographs but me, and once I'm done extracting your eyes in Photoshop, I'll delete the photos.  I'll be as careful with your identity as I am with my own.  I've been running this blog for five years now, and no one in my real life has any idea it exists.

Let me know if you've got any questions!  I'm not expecting a huge number of people to be interested in doing this (in fact, it's likely no one will ever be interested), but I thought I'd put it out there to everyone just in case!
