I´m a hobbyist bass guitar player and 3 D Graphics beginner, that´s why I called myself thebasstard. However due to several misunderstandings I changed the name to BST-Art.
Back in 2005 I started with 3 D graphics and since then I focus mainly on science fiction and Pin-Up images. One of the reoccurring topics are cyborgs and mutants with which I create images in a future setting called Hell on Earth (HOE 2050,2075). During the recent months I tried to add some other serious topics to my gallery.
I started with DAZ Studio, but today I use mostly Carrara 6, with some textures and smaller objects made by me in Photoshop and Wings 3D. The most part is still based on pre-made models customized with with morphs and textures.
Being convinced, that art should rise questions about society and evoke emotions, I highly appreciate political art and satirical works.
I´ve not as much time for CGI as I´d like to have, there´s a job for a living, my political activity for my convictions and then comes CGI and the band. So it may take a while until a new image is published. My dream is it to combine as much of these fields as possible.
One of the worst things in art in my opinion is conformity. I dislike conformity in life in general and I think it destroys art. I try to give my characters a personality or at least a contrast to the cheerleader and supermodel type of figures.
A conformist superficial society is destroying the potential of people who doesn´t fit into the standard, creating intolerance, discrimination and cultural poverty while killing creativity.
On the other hand I don´t think that doing erotic artwork disqualifies for doing political work, I think both can even be combined. A problem a lot of very talented political artists have, is that they don´t get the attention they deserve and so their message is widely lost. Many people who look at and make CGI just focus on Pin-Ups and try to avoid politics.
However we can´t lock ourself into a digital Barbie & Ken world and we shouldn´t try doing that. We can avoid the consequences of politics for a while, but we can´t demand a democracy and in the same time hope somebody else will regulate our affairs for us. We live in a hierarchical economic system and when we don´t defend our democratic and human rights, somebody will sell them behind our back.
I want to thank everybody who views my images and especially those who comment on them in a critical or non-critical way!
