…I feel so guilty when I haven’t posted on here in a while. It’s like I’m neglecting a child. Well, rest assured, I am indeed working– not slacking. All I effing do is work. Just not enough on the stuff that’s fun.
Here’s a little doodle from a few days ago– another cute boy with a massive member. Enjoy!
The model was a first-timer by the name of Tony. Admittedly, I am not the hugest fan of PA’s, but it was fun to draw something new down there.
So just when I’d gotten used to drawing my little caricatures of Tony, we were treated to an added bonus– namely Brandon! Two for one!
Brandon, or the walking rug, as Wabbit called him, looked a lot more buff than I remembered. He also seemed very into Tony.
A note on this final drawing: talk about challenging! The models were so hot for each other that once they really got into it, they couldn’t hold still for nothin’! It’s so difficult to draw two bodies in perpetual motion that a lot of the other artists simply gave up. But youze guys know I’m a fuggin’ TROOPER and managed to produce something that I’m actually quite proud of. I feel like I really captured a sense of movement there.
The tough part was figuring out what they should be doing and how to pose them. I mulled through a myriad of different ideas, but none of them seemed as solid as the classic X-Men splash image. You know, the type of drawing that sells millions of comic books and never fails to make fans kick themselves after discovering that only one or two of the characters from the cover are actually in the book. haha.
I also had issues deciding how exactly to make this XXX erotic (particularly because I’d already drawn them all fully clothed!) I never tire of my rollover images, so I went with that, along with that cool glowing “X” that serves as the x-ray vision peephole for you guys. I have to say that even though he is not my favorite of the 4 I chose, I am most pleased with Logan in both the clothed and raunchy versions. I think after days of mucking around with it, I finally captured that Logan snarl!
I expect massive amounts of feedback, people– this is X-MEN FAN-ART here. ^__^
This was an old Kid Sonic sketch that I reworked into Ryan. One of my latest fantasies has been the sensuality of rock stars. So now, Ryan is a singer. Who knows whether he’s actually good or not… ‘cuz even if he wasn’t, it’s not like anyone would have the cahones to tell him!
I’ve wanted to work more with pencil for a while now, like one of my idols Tom of Finland. I tend to get a little frustrated when I find that I can’t really render like him. But then I figure, I can cover that up with other assets. Like for one, I do surface design (pattern; textiles,) and I felt very early on while doing this piece that I wanted his outfit to contain some really intricate hand-drawn pattern work. It’s the type of outfit only a man like this could get away with, eh? Comments appreciated.
Aaand, fans of these boys will be pleased to know that I am indeed working on a script for an Omega Phi one-shot comic book! It’ll introduce some new characters– pledges, if you will, and make them go through some utterly grueling hazing rituals!
By that I mean they’ll get fucked up the ass.
This was for a piece of Freshmen fiction wherein an eager young lad interns at an auto garage. I actually live across the street from one and went over there to take reference photos.Hilariously Stereotypical Big Loud Boarish Italian American Guy Born & Raised in Brooklyn: YEAH? WUT SCHOOL YA GO TO?
Me: Pratt.
Hilariously Stereotypical Big Loud Boarish Italian American Guy Born & Raised in Brooklyn: OH, WHAT’S IT, SOME ARCHITECTURE SHYT?
Me: Um, yeah, somethin’ like that.
His reaction, though a perfectly normal tone for him, kinda startled the hell out of me because he was just so big and loud and projecting. It made me think for a minute how (thankfully) cutoff I am from certain cultures. The funny thing was, if he was that reactive over the lie, imagine if I’d told him the truth– that it was really for a drawing in a gay porno magazine! HEHE!
Eerily uncanny though, was that this assignment came right at a time when I was really into auto mechanics. (Refer to this post.) Remember how I mentioned the commercial for the trade school with the hot mechanic boy? Well, here he is! Yeah, I took pictures off the TV with my phone.
Humbuged had some pics that he’d drawn on his Nintendo DS. Being the annoying guppie that I am, I always have the latest tekkie gizmos. Before I got my iPhone, I had a really amazing pocket PC smart-phone that was super customizable. At the time, I was friggin’ obsessed with finding a good digital painting program for it. But alas, none of them really worked.
I dunno why I was/am so preoccupied with a portable digital painter. So needless to say, when I discovered that I could get one for my trusty lil’ DS, I jumped all over that!
The application is called Colors! and it is a homebrew game created by Jens Andersson. It keeps things incredibly simple for ease of use. And the resulting works can look really amazing. I was never a real lover of any traditional media other than a pens and pencils, but this program makes it look like I can watercolor with the beat of ’em! Haha
My favorite feature of the game is that it records every single brushstroke so you can view an animation of the progress of your drawing! I’m so enamoured with this game, it’s not even funny. The only real problem is since I only really play with it in public (on the subway) I can’t really draw anything all that raunchy. When you have a DS or PSP or whatever, it’s a given that folks are gonna look over your shoulder. I don’t know if I could take the guilt of exposing some impressionable young tyke to a giant cartoon cock.
I met Chuck years ago and did the first episode of his comic. Since then, he’s web-published 50 strips all drawn and colored by some of the hottest artists in this business. I figured, before this thing goes to print, I’ve gotta get at least one more episode in done in a more current style. It was pretty fun. My fave panel is this one pictured with all these hot boys grinding on one another!
Here’s Gonzalo, a real he-man with amazingly bulgy muscular meaty thighs and thick luscious sable locks.
The following week was Brandon who was… very very fuzzy. I had some difficulty with this model’s face which is why you’ll notice I didn’t often draw his head. He had very big features and although he was pretty cute, I had trouble rendering a realistic likeness. So, I just made him a cartoon. In truth, I think it suits him better than any attempt at a realistic likeness.
I’m finding more and more by watching some of the other artists in the group that I have a unique way of blending stylization with realism. Most of the other artists there either work completey realistic or totally stylized. Anyhoo, let me know what yalls think. Tons more are up on my site here.
The next thing I want to mention is that my previous excitement over the graphics for Street Fighter 4 is now gone. 1up.com has footage of some in-game play and I have to say… it just looks very very polygonal to me. I mean… it kinda doesn’t look any more advanced than say Rival Schools or Street Fighter EX.
Call me a purist but think I’ve rejoined the “Street Fighter works best in 2D” camp. I mean… imagine a high-res, super-high frame rate Street Fighter with traditionally hand-drawn animation in the quality of something like Samurai Champloo. Now THAT would be groundbreaking. But when asked in the latest issue of EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly) why didn’t Capcom just make SF4 entirely 2D, Yoshinori Ono, the game’s lead producer said they’ve “done all they can with 2D” and that they “wouldn’t learn anything new.” Pssh, yeah, way to dodge that question, buddy.
Finally, I’d like to babble on about one more thing. My BIRTHDAY is very close to New Years and all my life, it’s been overshadowed by New Years and to some extent, even Christmas. However, I’m excited about THIS new year because it’s 2008 and 8‘s are my lucky numbers. I was born on 01-08-80 and this year, my 28th BIRTHDAY falls on 01-08-08! So my BIRTHDAY is kindof an anagram of my birthdate! Heh heh!
Oh, and by the way… fan-art makes a great BIRTHDAY present…. ahem… (cough cough!)
So last Wednesday, I attended the Leslie Lohman Foundation‘s Queer Men’s Erotic Art Workshop for the first time and let me tell ya, it was definitely worth it! It was nothing like I expected and exactly like I secretly wanted! Haha.
Back at Pratt, I had a LOT of figure drawing. With my major being Illustration, my advisors assured me that I should get as much figure drawing as possible. So about 4 times a week for 4 years I was sentenced to render the very repetitive brigade of weirdo models Pratt hired. Let’s see… there was Morbidly Obese Eviva, Johnny One-Nut, Coked-Up Keiko, Fat-Pussied Rose, Shaved Santa, Tampon String, Out of Work G.I.Joe, Senile Old Lady, and Beatles Haircut Guy With the Shit Stained Underwear… among others. Needless to say, I’d had my fill of figure drawing by the time I graduated and was content to let my imagination do the work from there on out.
So, imagine my delight at LLF when I saw hunky, hairy Roger! He was polite and outgoing and had the sexiest German accent. (He was Swiss.)
Despite much of the workshop feeling like school, I had a great time because I got to draw this gorgeous hottie. Although I really don’t know how I (or anyone there for that matter) was able to produce anything. It was wholly difficult to focus on drawing with such a sexy subject. But like the immortal Tom of Finland said “If I have an erection while doing a drawing, then I know it’s good.” Truer words were never spoken. Haha.
I’m glad to get back into figure. I think it gives my body or work this whole new facet you guys haven’t really ever seen. I feel like because it’s from life, it’s so much more real. Granted, I do take a lot of photo reference for my other stuff– but it really isn’t comparable to what I get from life drawing. I’m posting the whole set of all 8 of these on my main site in the Extra section. Enjoy!
