The Method of Ray Caesar

We linked the wonderful Ray Caesar and his mad, vividly textured portraits of epicanthic devil children yesterday. What I, however, overlooked was the link buried in his gallery, explaining how he actually paints his beautiful monstrosities.

The answer? He doesn't. Instead, each painting is actually a polygonal model he makes in a modeling program, which he then colors, textures, casts with light and shadow and hastily runs through Photoshop:

As my work is printed I am often asked about my original, but it exists only in the computer in a dimensional world of depth, width and height. I am fascinated by the concept that this 3 dimensional space exists much as another reality and even though I turn the computer off, I am haunted by the fact that this space is still there existing in a mathematical probability, and the space that we live in now might not be all that different.

His closing statement about the haunting dimension of mathematical probability his creations live in is worth the caloric expense of your finger applying pressure to the left mouse button not just once, but until it's reduced to a bloody stub.
