Highly explicit 3D-rendered portraits are going viral on Tumblr, and the youth are obviously responsible. Inspired by "philosophy, black metal and the human body," a German digital artist who goes by the profile girls-unawares, is crafting these surreal sexualizations, taking commissions from other Tumblr users to make renderings based on their profiles. His charged works portraits carry a layer of social commentary that centers around the ecosystem that birthed them; painfully vivid close-ups of genitals, colored with acid greens, purples, and reds, that explore issues like body dysmorphia and how and perceptions of beauty and self-worth.

The artist's statement takes the form of an open letter: “Dear human body! You are our willingness clay! We feed you up or slim you, we stretch or shrink you, we add or cut something off, we even switch your gender due to our needs! You are our media-morphed, sexually-reduced, ad-aesthetical and fetishized perception of ourselves!”

girls-unawares started making these portraits back in 2014, after a girl on Tumblr asked him to make a portrait of her. In reality, she thought all of his other works were based on real models, due to the fact that he had named them. After he posted the portrait alongside her written requests, others began asking for their very own. Since then, he’s made around 100 portraits, with new requests coming in every day.

“When I start portraying someone I first have a deep look on the people's tumblr-profile looking for her style, likes, selfies, personality etc. [sic]," girls-unawares tells The Creators Project. "That’s usually enough information I need. There is no personal discussion or nude pics necessary!”

Overall, girls-unawares portrays the Tumblr generation as open-minded, self-aware, and politically active; young people who challenge conservative expectations of sexuality and cultivate new dialogues about diversity. Then again, maybe he's just really into sending random CGI porn to randos. You be the judge.
