Bulgy Toons

By JC | anthro, classic cartoons, Fan Art, old works | 8 Comments

I used to be obsessed with a little cartoon series called Tiny Toon Adventures. A lot of my drawing style and humor is influenced by that show. There was a lot of adult humor in the cartoon– something that was very innovative at the time.

I used to draw the characters all the time. But as my drawing style changed, so did my renditions of the characters. Below, you’ll see something I recently dredged up from my folder of old stuffs. No, I never drew the Tiny Toons fucking, but when I finally realized how sexy I started drawing them was when I kinda stopped drawing them.

I did however draw VERY provocative versions of Gadget for money.

Lusty Pirates

By JC | Capcom, commission, hairy, muscles, toys, twinks, Unzipped Media, video games, xxx | 8 Comments

*EDIT 5-25-07: I’m taking down 3 of the illustrations until the issues of [2] hits stands.

So here’s the latest thing I’ve been working on: a group of illustrations to accompany a story about pirates in [2] magazine.

Basically, it’s about a beautiful blonde male model who is getting shots taken on a fake pirate ship in the Bermuda Triangle. But then, of course, lightning strikes, and the model is mystically transported back in time to a real pirate ship.

Of the four drawings, my favorite is the one with the group of pirates all ogling the pretty boy tied to the mast. I had fun designing the characters. My partner said I made the Black one look a little too insane– LOL. It’s the eyes. I definitely wanted them all to look crazed.

I’m also proud of how the captain came out. I was worried I’d have trouble making him appear as gruff as a pirate captain would be while still trying to make him as attractive as the story describes. Hopefully, it worked. I’d join this guy’s crew before Jack Sparrow’s any day! (Not to put down Johnny Depp, who will always be high on my list of doable Hollywood!)

For an added bonus, below, you can see the reference pic I took to visualize the group shot piece. A Street Fighter gangbang– wouldn’t that be hot?!

Be Quiet

By JC | muscles, wet, xxx | 7 Comments

Here is a new piece for you guys. This one is entitled “Be Quiet,” so says Mr. Upper Management who just happens to catch Mr. Blonde Intern goofing off late one night at the office.

Where do I come up with them, you ask? Well, while I like to think I have a vivid imagination, the premise for this piece is actually an unused sketch for an older one. Remember Fantasy Fright? Well, here is one of the scenarios I almost ended up using. I am very archival about my work– even sketches, as you can see. One of my teachers in art school said this was a bad thing and that I should be more disposable with my work. I can’t be that way though. Especially since I believe I can NEVER draw the same thing twice. So I save every little morsel of art that I do.

I took that sketch and slightly redrew the guys. The boy at the computer is Richard, one of my generic characters whom I’ve used a couple times before. The older guy is made up.

Then, of course, I had to come up with some sorta new background. Since this wasn’t for any particular job, I wasn’t about to draw one. (JC no like drawing backgrounds.) I figured photo collage will work and did a search for offices. The pic below worked perfectly even though I had to tweak the hell outta the perspective to get it to match.

And then, to blend it all together, I finished up with my new ultra-dramatic coloring/lighting style. This has always been a secret fantasy of mine… workplace seduction. All I need is a hot coworker and the imagination starts a-flowin’. Good thing I don’t have a job– LOL.

Bunk Buds

By JC | commission, muscles, Persuasions, Unzipped Media, xxx | 12 Comments

Here’s what I’ve been working on for the past few days. It’s for Freshmen and it’s to accompany a story about two college roommates who share a bunk bed, but of course, end up porking each other.

And next is a sketch I did on a flight a few weeks ago. It was really annoying because there was this guy who was one of those “I-need-attention-so-I-talk-to-strangers” types, and he kept trying to peek over my shoulder and see the drawing and make conversation with me.

Miami Review

By JC | hairy, muscles, rant, xxx | 8 Comments

POST EDIT (5-01-07): Colored the other two pieces.
Anyone liking this pastel look?
POST EDIT (4-27-07): I colored the “DEREK” character. Have a looksie.

So I’m back home. My partner and I jaunted down to sunny South Beach in Miami, Florida. It was very relaxing. The food was great and I saw enough fake titties to last me a lifetime.

For some reason, I was expecting the gay scene down there to be a lot more happening than it was. I had this idea that South Beach was one of the more infamous gay locales in the U.S. We ended up grabbing a few tourist guides before we went, and they further emphasized that South Beach has become more “straight” than it used to be. But it didn’t really hit me till we actually saw it.

It was still fun though– I mean, hell, I got to sleep on a beach every day! Of the few gay clubs that still existed, my favorite was Twist. No cover, eight bars, and hot gogo boys = a smashing good time. One thing that kind of disappointed me though was that the clubs and bars down in South Beach are very low-key any day but Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. You’d think that since Sunday is still a weekend day, that there would still be something going on in the clubs—but nope. I guess I’m spoiled living in New York where the clubs are in full effect every night of the week.

You’ll notice a few hot-guy drawings I put up along with this post, all inspired by my stay in South Beach. Oh yeah, that’s another thing that shocked me about that place—the lack of hot guys! Well, I’ll admit, the percentage of scantily-clad muscle boys did increase on the weekends. But during the week, the beach was pretty flabbalicious. My partner and I concluded that many of the locals must specifically come down to South Beach on the weekends only.

I’ll be coloring these pics eventually but for now I’ve got a ton of work to catch up with.

Hey kids. Just wanted to get one quick post in before I go on vacation for a little while. Enjoy this drawing of Zeker I just whipped up while watching Flavor of Love. (LOL)

Mii Obsession

By JC | Anti-Heroes, Caleb, Nintendo, rant, Tai, video games, Zeke | 3 Comments

So we bought a Nintendo Wii a few months ago– not because there are any cool games for it or anything– just to keep up our appearance as the obnoxious gay yuppies that have every new tekkie thing to come out.

One of the coolest thing about the Wii is the interface. You can create little avatars called Miis and play as them in certain Wii games (like WiiSports and WiiPlay.) Of course, I made the Anti-Heroes, as you can see below.

And below, take a look at some of the other Miis I made. Back Row: Large Marge and New York. Middle Row: Ripley, Two Weeks, and Nomi Malone. Front Row: Rhoda and Rosie O’Donnell.

Happy B-Day, Kitt

By JC | commission, elves, Fan Art, muscles, Unzipped Media, xxx | 12 Comments

So here we have a birthday present for my good buddy, Kitt. She is like the female version of me– into games, comics, animation) and is a fellow artist. I’ve been promising her an ElfQuest fan-art for months now and finally figured, hey, I’ll do it as a birthday present (since I’m extra-broke these days! haha)

I admit to never really being into ElfQuest. I remember my uncle had cases and cases of the original comics and when I was a kid, I’d sneak looks at them. For some reason I thought there was something implicitly dirty about ElfQuest. Something about it just made me embarrassed to admit I was interested in it. Maybe it had to do with the effemininity of the male characters… or the fact that they were quite often bare-chested. Whatever the reason, I didn’t really get into it.

We actually met the creator of Elfquest at NY Comic Con a few weeks ago. She and Kitt were going on like they’d known each other for years– it was weird. Anyhoo– this is “Cutter,” the main character of the series. Of course, on my site is the nuder version. (Natcherly!)

And next up is a piece I’ve done for Freshmen magazine. Hopefully my working relationship with them will become more regular because not only is getting paid a great motivator (heh,) it also makes for some interesting pieces for my portfolio. The story here is about a high school kid who gets “invaded” by a mysterious masked intruder. Again, on my site is a raunchier version.

The Heat is On

By JC | chubs, Daddy+Boy, hairy, muscles, Persuasions, twinks, wet, xxx | 8 Comments

The scorcher above was originally an unused sketch for a job. I figured I needed some more variety of genres and man-types in my pin-ups so I modified the characters and turned the sketch into a promotional dealy. Inter-generational man-sex, dude. That’s a thing, supposedly. Oh but the young guy is over 18– promise! haha.

Aaaand, I’m also ploppin’ in the two drawings for Persuasions that I left outta the last post. Now that I know someone actually read it, I feel more confident giving up the cum-soaked “piece de resistance.” haha.

Persuasions: PHASE 1

By JC | hairy, muscles, Persuasions, twinks, xxx | 12 Comments

So after months of fiddling with it, I’ve finally decided to knuckle-down and launch this little thing I’ve been working with called “Persuasions.” You can find it in the EXTRA section of the Anti-Heroes site.

It’s an online gay erotic cartoon soap opera! …

I’ve always liked the soaps and I’ve always wanted to create something similar. I figured since there aren’t really any gay ones out there, I’d try that out.

The format is inspired by video games (hello, it’s ME!) Particularly RPGs or any game with a story mode where you see little icons representing the character that’s speaking. I love it when their facial expressions change according to their emotion.

Also, with Persuasions, I figured I’d give you guys a taste of my erotic writing. You know, I used to write and illustrate X-Men slash fiction and it was pretty well received on the internet. Of course, then I went through a “boycott all fan-art” phase and took all the stories offline. Wish I could find them– or better yet, the drawings I did with them.

Many of the illustrations in Persuasions were created specifically for the series. Some of them, I ended up being so proud of that I’ve started using them as promotional pieces. Particularly the one with Preston and Marq on the bed and the one with Brody and Seb in the shower. There is also one XXX pic that I REALLY REALLY like embedded within the story that I’m not including here on the blog. Why? Incentive for you guys to read the story!

There are also some older illustrations sprinkled throughout PHASE 1, some with new things added. This is because I really wanted to include some of my previously created characters in the story instead of making all new ones.

So hopefully, someone out there will find this series compelling– or hot. Either is fine with me. This is only PHASE 1, meaning that I will put out more installments in the future. I’ve got plans loosely strung about in my head, but am open to suggestions. For instance, like if you guys really despise a particular character, I’ll kill them off.

Haggar Lays Pipe

By JC | Anti-Heroes, Capcom, Fan Art, muscles, video games, wet, xxx | 2 Comments

Glorious nostalgia was once again brought to me as I popped “Capcom Classics Collection” into my PS2 a few days ago. Me and wifey were in the game store and wanted to buy something but were peeved at their selection. So we bought a used copy of CCC becasue it was cheap and actually had the original Final Fight on it. I figure since I’ve been going on and on about Streets of Rage, I might as well remind myself of the game that originally got me into SOR.

Everyday after school, I’d stop by the local bodega where they had the Final Fight coin-op and popped in as many quarters as I had left from my lunch money. Some days, I purposely ate light just so I could have enough money to play it sufficiently. I never got very far. But I always picked big ‘ol Mayor Mike Haggar. He was my favorite. I don’t know why– I wasn’t into bears or big burly men or anything. Maybe I was just responding to what an ingenius character the guy is. This former Street Fighter, now Mayor of an urban hellhole, takes the law into his own hands, along with a couple knives or pipes.

When Street Fighter 2 replaced Final Fight at the corner store, I was awestruck and immediately forgot about Final Fight. Little did I know back then that Street Fighter and Final Fight were created by the same guy. And get this– SF2 was originally supposed to tie-in to Final Fight with the inclusion of Haggar! Sometime during production of the game, however, Haggar was changed into a new character, Zangief. This is the real reason why Zangief and Haggar have the same moves. To explain this in the storyline (now that Final Fight and Street Fighter are truly united) it’s said that Zangief and Haggar trained together. Sadly, Haggar hasn’t been playable in a Street Fighter game yet even though all his lackeys have. So this is my tribute to my favorite Mayor and a truly awesome game. (Which I finally beat since Final Fight on Capcom Classics Collection has unlimited continues! It’s almost the equivalent of popping about 10 bucks into a coin-op! ^___^)

I’m also including another censored Splash Page preview from Anti-Heroes Issue #3. This one features Nuke, whom I talked a little about in my last post. Enjoy!
