Dynawash by Niceman and Asian Dyna

Every now and then it just doesn’t seem like enough to imagine mad science. You want to do it, even if just a bit.

So, in between scenes in The Apsinthion Protocol a little extra in the form of a mad artistic experiment that combines two different techniques for making erotic mad science images. Lovely Asian Dyna, who has spontaneously created her own live-action mad science images in the recent past, graciously modeled for an image, and was then transported into the world of my own mad-science imagination through the 3D art wizardry of Niceman, who has created all sorts of remarkable imagery for this site.

The result was truly striking.

The specific Gnosis College universe reference is to a story-within-a-story that I discuss in this post, (and more indirectly here) for those who are interested.

I think this was an eminently successful experiment, and am greatly pleased with Dyna and Nice’s work here.

Steampunk Chimera Genesis

Back when I first commissioned the Chimera Genesis image for this site’s first anniversary post, 3D artist Niceman thoughtfully suggested that he could do a steampunk variant on the same theme. I put that in the mental folder of “interesting idea, must think more about it.” Chimera Genesis proceeded to storm to triumph, being featured not just here but also in a post by überblogger Violet Blue. Around that time, Niceman’s proposal swiftly departed the limboland of “interesting idea” for the blessed region of “I’d be a fool not to do this.” I told Niceman, in effect “I won’t even ask exactly what you’ve got in mind, I’ll commission the steampunk version.”

And I would have been a fool not to have, to, seeing the stunning image Niceman came up with.

The story here is the same, but the historical setting is different. Mad science is being used to turn two women into one with the memories and skills of both. There’s a lot to love about this image: the fact that a lady mad scientist seems to running the show here, and the shocked “I didn’t sign up for this” look on the faces of one of the experiment’s subjects. Even the nineteenth-century underwear has a nice fetishy appeal, somehow.

You know, given how much fun steampunk and dieselpunk and all that are, I really ought to do more with the history of Gnosis College. I mean, as you can see from the college seal (recently worked up for me by Lon Ryden, thanks Lon!) the college was supposedly founded in 1844 (the year that Nietzsche was born and Marx wrote his Economic-Philosophical Manuscripts), and those Victorians could get pretty darn kinky when you looked closely at them.

Must write more…ever more…

Mad Science Anniversary!

It was one year ago today that Erotic Mad Science’s introductory front-page post went up, the one which closed with the words “So perhaps I shouldn’t say just welcome to all and sundry. Instead, welcome friends.”

Well friends, now we’ve made it through a year. And I feel celebratory. And why shouldn’t I feel so? I haven’t just seen the passage of time here. We’ve had seven long parascripts, three paracomix chapters, 24 pieces of bespoke art (not even counting the new one in this post), and something like 379 posts go up here in the past year. I’d say that’s a good year’s work, except that it didn’t feel like work. It felt like fun.

There’s nothing like having a post go up every day, a little registration of yourself in the world, a little act of insubmission against all the hateful forces in the world that would render you small and insignificant and (shudder) normal. I hope this past year will turn out to have been the first of many to come.

So in recognition of the site’s birthday, I’ve commissioned a special piece of bespoke art from Niceman, one which has to do with a mad science birth. It’s called Chimera Genesis.

The “birth” going on here is the deliberate creation of a “chimera,” two women being made into a single one with the finer attributes of both, the thing that happened by accident to Jill and Maureen in Gnosis Dreamscapes and which here is being done deliberately by a mad scientist. The two figures are allegorical here: “Thauma” and “Philia,” and they are becoming Thaumatophilia. I very much enjoy the way Niceman rendered these. Thama looks like she might be enjoying her (apparently terminal) experience; Philia not so much, but Thamatophilia looks the sort of girl who will have a bright future.

As for Erotic Mad Science, I hope there will be a lot to look forward to. Work is progressing on more bespoke art (comix adaptations especially), and more scripts. (I am also hoping for more comments in the coming year, hint hint.) And as I discover more and more fetish fuel out there, I hope to have it to present it to you all as well.

And as always, welcome friends.

Michiko art by Niceman

Niceman, who’s work we’ve seen many times before, graciously agreed recently to participate in an experiment of my proposing (hey, it wouldn’t be mad science if we didn’t do experiments). The experiment was an open-ended commission in which, instead of my pulling something I liked out of the scripts and asking him to render it, I asked him to leaf through the scripts himself and pick his own commission.

I think he made an excellent choice.

Do we all recognize this, thaumatophiles? It’s Gnosis Dreamscapes, and Michiko is about to show off her awesome ability to invade a young man’s dreams.

INT. Monitoring ROOM – DAY

The room has low light, just like the previous room. The opposite side of the one-way mirror visible in the previous scene in the laboratory takes up part of one wall.

In the middle of the room there is an object resembling an illuminated glass bathtub with wires and cables snaking away from it and a few inches of a gel-like substance within it.

WILLIE and PROFESSOR REBECCA WAITE are concentrating on a screen as Michiko enters the room.

(Note: Willie and Waite are the same characters as appeared in Progress in Research)

As Michiko enters, Waite looks up and smiles.

WAITE

Excellent, brisk preparation of the subject, Michiko. Are you ready yourself?

MICHIKO

Thank you, Professor Waite. Give me just a minute here.

WILLIE

Professor Waite was just commenting on how good you are at the job.

Michiko steps out of her sneakers, then removes her lab coat. She is wearing nothing underneath except a push-up bra.

WAITE

Not just any woman could serve so well as a female neural template in the Dreamscape.

Michiko removes her bra and throws a seductive glance at Waite.

MICHIKO

Because I am so amazingly sensual?

WAITE

If you wish to put it that way, yes.

Michiko crosses her arms in front of her chest and frowns at Waite.

WAITE

You disagree, Michiko?

Michiko steps into the tub and eases herself slowly into the gel as she speaks.

MICHIKO

Oh I am ever so sensual.

(squeezes her breasts together before continuing)

It’s just that I never wanted to play to the stereotype of sensual Asian woman.

Waite grins.

WAITE

I am sure you’ll have the chance to shatter stereotypes with what is about to happen. Are you ready?

MICHIKO

Ever so.

WILLIE

Then let the dreams begin.

Pleasant dreams, Michiko!

Niceman’s Ashley transformation art

Tireless and resourceful CG artist Niceman has rendered another key scene from The Apsinthion Protocol for me, here Ashley Madder’s sudden and unexpected transformation into a statue, right in front of the astonished Edmund. Through the magic of a double render, he manges to capture her right in the moment of transition between flesh and stone:

Ashley Transformation by by Niceman, commissioned by Dr. Faustus of EroticMadScience.com is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License (Click on the image for a larger version.)

In case you’ve fallen a little bit behind on your script-reading, the scene is this:

Ashley begins to tremble. A fine sheen of sweat appears. She begins to pant.

EDMUND

Ashely, are you feeling alright?

ASHLEY

No, no, stay back. Draw. I want to see you draw, and I want to feel the moment.

Edmund tries to draw. Ashley’s breathing quickens.

(Note: Through the following speech Ashley’s excitement continues to mount toward orgasm.)

ASHLEY

I want you to draw because I want you to put down how beautiful I am so that that can last forever, so that there can be more eyes, eyes throughout history. Eyes looking with longing and saying what pretty boobs, what wonderful nipples, what a lovely belly, what gorgeous legs, what a sweet cunt. Me. I want them to say that about me, not be a good girl. So many people, deprived of beauty to look at…I wasn to give it to them…I want them to have it… I want their eyes on me…I want my beauty to last forever…

EDMUND

Ashley!

ASHLEY

…forever…

EDMUND

(standing up, alarmed)

Ashley!

ASHLEY

…forever…beautiful forever…and…

(crying out orgasmicly)

…my…wish…is…coming…true!

SFX: Ashley’s flesh and hair turn to pinkish stone. Her hands freeze with her palms turned outward, her face is turned upwards, eyes close, lips parted, an expression of ecstasy.

Ashley’s last cry dies away as her transformation is complete.

Be careful what you wish for!

Niceman’s Moira Encounter art

Niceman has done some more excellent CG work for Erotic Mad Science, this time producing another illustration of a scene from The Apsinthion Protocol: Moira Weir‘s rather exciting inter-species encounter in Professor Corwin’s off-site laboratory.

Moira Encounter by by Niceman, commissioned by Dr. Faustus at EroticMadScience.com is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. (Click on image to see full-size.)

Readers of The Apsinthion Protocol should remember this being from a scene that starts with something like this:

Two more tentacles, very slender ones, also move through the water.

ANWEI

Try extending your hands slowly, as we discussed.

Moira does so. The slender tentacles move forward and gently brush against her fingertips.

Moira gingerly extends one hand further. A tentacle slowly wraps around the tip of one one of her fingers.

MOIRA

Strange feel. Not slimy or scaly, but sort of…sleek-feeling if that means anything.

The tentacles move forward and begin entwining themselves around the fingers of both of Moira’s hands.

And proceeds, perhaps inexorably to something like

MOIRA

After all…oh…it makes sense…ah..to go…oh my…where the most nerve endings are.

ANWEI

Moira, this is leading…

MOIRA

Yes, yes, yes. I know. And it’s wrong, and it can’t be and I won’t…

Moira opens her legs on the stool. A larger phallic tentacle moves between them.

MOIRA

And I mean I will…I mean…

(moans deeply)

…oh…inside me…

The tentacle thrusts back and forth

And still further thence as Moira has quite the encounter, observed (for SCIENCE!) by Professor Corwin and Anwei, who you can see in the watery background here. I can see no objections: after all, they’re all consenting adults.

Well, maybe the tentacle creature isn’t. Did anyone think of that?

New Apsinthion Protocol art by Niceman

It’s very gratifying, just after having run a ten-post series “on making your own,” to be able to demonstrate a little bit of practicing what I’ve preached, by posting some new art I was able to commission from Niceman.

Apsinthion Dissolve by by Niceman, commissioned by Dr. Faustus at EroticMadScience.com is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. (Click on image to see full-size.)

The scene should be familiar — Li Anwei and Professor Corwin providing Nanetta Rector with a very convincing demonstration of the viability of a functionalist theory of mind in action, via the apsinthion protocol. If you’ve read the script, you might recall:

The rise of the fluid continues to the point where it has reached Anwei’s abdomen. She has disappeared up to her mid thigh.

NANETTA

What is going on here? What is happening to Anwei?

CORWIN

(mildly)

What is going on here is perfectly safe.

The fluid has reached up to Anwei’s breasts, and Anwei has vanished up to her crotch.

Sound of a loud CRY from Anwei, muffled by the tube.

NANETTA

She is in pain!

CORWIN

Cries like that might indicate…something rather the opposite of pain.

NANETTA

This is insane! Stop this! Stop this right now?

CORWIN

But My dear Miss Rector, didn’t you hear? To stop this now would risk death to Anwei.

Nanetta rushes up to the tube and pounds on its sides with her fists.

NANETTA

Anwei! Anwei!

What is left of Anwei pays no attention to Nanetta.

That was fun to write, but even so, the gratification was considerably heightened by being able to see it in an explicit visual realization. Niceman may modestly describe himself as “just a farmboy nerd” over at Deviant Art, but he has a deft hand with rendering software and very much the right sort of vision for thaumatophile art, as the result above shows. So if you like what you see, by all means pay him a visit over at Deviant Art or, if you’re a subscriber, at Renderotica. You’ll be glad you did.

On making your own V: The power of technology

πρὸς τοῖσδε μέντοι πῦρ ἐγώ σφιν ὤπασα…ἀφ᾽ οὗ γε πολλὰς ἐκμαθήσονται τέχνας. (“I gave them the gift of fire…and many arts they shall master thereby.”)

—Prometheus Bound, lines 252-4

Of course, as long as we are discussing the making of one’s own as Promethean act, we shouldn’t ignore the power of technology, which is now giving us such splendid mad-science visual representations as this:

That’s”Feel the Power” by Niceman, whose work we’ve seen before here at Erotic Mad Science, and gosh but he hits so many right notes here: a mad-lab setting, an erotic pose, a tube girl and possibly a created woman to boot. And he did it with software. (If you’re interested you can see a lot more of his work either at Deviant Art or Renderotica, although both sites might require some sort of registration to see the best material.)

Although I’ve written hopefully on the subject of computer generated art as a way of creating bespoke erotica I must confess to only have dipped in very little (some messing around with MakeHuman and Poser). Still, I’ve been following computer-rendering for a while now and the signs are good. If you compare the computer-generated image in this old post with Niceman’s work above, you can see that we’re getting across the uncanny valley bit by bit. The images are better, and the software is doubtless getting easier and easier to use. You might want to become a user now, or you might want to follow developments. I’m sure they will be worth following. With a little luck, you might have Pixar on your desktop in a decade.

In the meantime, I should also note that CG artists themselves also often take commissions. Be generous!
