For a cover that I am producing, I need to create pubic hair in the shape of a logo. As this will be printed, it needs to look really good.
I tried different stuff like stamp tool, patch tool even hair brushes. But I am having a hard time, getting it to look realistic, especially because it's not a flat surface, but three-dimensional.
I also tried creating a toupet with hair I cut off a brush and glued to tape. But it also looks more funny than good.
Do you guys have any ideas how to get this right? If you suggest 3D is there anyone of you who is able to help me?

I'd have thought clone stamp with a similar image would have been the best option + adding brushed in edges to fix.
Can you share the image or at least a crop of the section that needs editing?
- I will photograph the image on Saturday, have a tight deadline then (delivery next Monday). I will try the clone stamp, I guess.SimonFFM

Try AE - you can make a large comp size and export png.
- Thank you! But damn, I don't have AE (and don't know how to use it). I only have the Photoshop subscription.SimonFFM
- ah....shapesalad
- This is very impressive work. I didn't even know this plugin existed.CyBrainX

- I said it looks funny. I usually prefer things to be hand-made than done in computer. But when it looks like this, I don't know...SimonFFM
- I love that you thought this was a good ideascarabin

Have a look at this Simon, pretty simple if you edit in your own image https://openprocessing.org/sketc…
-- Sort of works https://i.imgur.com/…PhanLo
- how do I define the shape other than the spider?SimonFFM
- Create a template in Photoshop of the logo, save as a jpg upload to imgur/online then follow these steps https://i.imgur.com/…PhanLo
- Thank you!SimonFFM

- Good stuff. I didn't see a change from any of layer styles she applied before the pattern. Also, the gradient map will wipe out any color previously applied.CyBrainX
- All of this depends on the fur brush which you have to join Deviant Art to get.CyBrainX
- It looks amazing!SimonFFM
- The only thing is the lighting. This will be on the cover of a magazine and the light on the logo has to match.SimonFFM

Blender is free and hair is pretty easy to wrap your head around. I've never made a map of Tasmania with it but this tutorial covers one method for 3d pubes.
Another 3d asset you can control with transparency maps from this deviantart thread:

God speed
- I could not understand how to operate Blender. It really is too difficult for me.SimonFFM
- Change your mindset Simon - tell yourself "I've got this, I'm smart, I can figure this out" nothing worse than giving up with a bad mindset.shapesalad

I think you have to go sagmeister on this and diy a practical solution vs a digital one. Manicure that kitty and take the photo.
- These are my thoughts. And I actually put a lot of effort into this as I already have 2 good covers and this will be my 3rd proposal.SimonFFM

- u know the rest:
take photos, use the chroma key.sted - It sounds super easy, but the photo will be shot in daylight and I need the light and depth of field to match. The model has no pubes, damn...SimonFFM
- Plus the shape is pretty precise, hard to achieve.SimonFFM
- nothing holds you back from taking the photos in the same environment plus you can make the stuff larger and resize that.sted
- you can also use printable glue paper to achieve a more precise shape... you will get a nice high-res life like result.sted
- ask the model to hold this paper where you need it and take 2 photos, one with this stuff and one without.sted

- So grossscarabin
- yeah I made a few curly randoms, for extra realism.shapesalad
- I need this in perspective on a body in a photo and with realistically looking hair.SimonFFM
- yeah - so you use distort transform in photoshop, get it to fit on your model, photoshop from there. obviously tweak it first in AE.shapesalad
- Point is - something I learnt in motion design with 3D - get something roughly ok, then colour correct and photoshop the hell out of it.shapesalad

I guess I will create something else.

- Thank you for your effort. Unfortunately it doesn’t look realistic enough. I need to think of another visual. But thank you!SimonFFM
- Do not encourage me.palimpsest
- realistic enough! Man you go to do a tonne of work in photoshop to get it realistic. Things like painting in individual hairs, add bevel on them to light themshapesalad
- etc. Even if you went with C4D or blender - you'd still need to do a decent amount of work in photoshop.shapesalad

i would shoot someone with pubes, shave 'em off, then shoot again. make a logo-shaped mask in photoshop on the furred shot, overlaid on the bald one. retouch the edges a bit.
during the shaving process you have a chance to try shaving the logo on the subject directly
- if the client's playboy, they should be able to afford a pubic stylist to try it out for realscarabin

Mate - you want it 'realistic'... shave your pubes, or your GF/Wife's into the logo you want. Pose and light and match as close as possible to the photo you want these pubes on. Take photo. Spend some time in photoshop masking in your pube photo, doing colour correction etc.
- Now he's going to moan about how his or his Mrs pubes don't match the hair type of the model he's trying to add this to.shapesalad

- This and your other approach look really nice.SimonFFM

You could do it as a practical effect:
Get an acetate sheet (transparency), some spray adhesive and some cut bits of wool yarn (or cut some pubes), then print a logo template to go under the transparency to act as a guide. With fine tweezers, place small clumps of wool/hair inside the logo template until you have a good density. Set aside. When all the glue is dry, you can go in with some fine scissors and a pick to trim/art direct your merkin 'til your heart's content.
Or learn to use blender and you can make a dozen variations in 20mins.
