As I've noted elsewhere, I use custom 3D models I built myself based on actual guys I've drooled over (but usually never got to fuck.) An exception are my selfies. I have several self portrait models, each of me at a different age. I thought I'd show you how that's done.
To begin with: here's the Foo at age 32.
A nice pic but no good for modeling. What's needed are two pics of the same approximate age, one full profile and one full face, like so.
(The Foo at age 25.)
From there you superimpose a grid over the face side by side with the target model, also with grid. Next, you rig the 3D model with hair and a skin mat that resemble the photo as closely as possible. Start shaping the skull and face first, getting progressively more detailed. It's not just about reproducing the mechanical details of how big is the chin, how closely set are the eyes, etc. - you have to step back from time to time and take in the whole effect.
Here's the finished model, the Foo at age 18.
As you see, I'm almost always wearing glasses even in these real pics I was wearing contacts.
Skin texture is key. Me at age 24:
Me at the same age, as a Planet of the Apes character:
And me at the same age again, about to not get any older:
I hope you enjoyed my little show and tell!
