Anti-Heroes Join the Big Boys

By | Anti-Heroes, Caleb, guest art, muscles, Tai, wet, xxx, Zeke | One Comment
While going through RSS feeds just now, mindlessly marking all the Roids and Rants & Shirtless Superheroes updates as “read,” (honestly those dudes update like 12 times a day! hehe) I came across a brilliant shining surprise. My good buddy Chubtoons who runs the blog Big Boy Toons did a spectacular fan-art of the Anti-Heroes!
I am in love with his technique in general. He always has these sharp, crisp lines in everything he does. So much detail and carefulness goes into his inking that I always enjoy seeing a no-color inked version of his pieces.

Each Anti-Hero has Chubtoons’ signature stylization yet seems maintain the personality I gave them. It’s such a treat when I get these unsolicited because 1) I LOVE it and 2) I’m super embarrassed and shy about asking my favorite artists to do them. It’s like– well, if they don’t know my characters, why would they want to draw them?

So yeah, it’s super flattering that Chubtoons did this and I hope he knows I appreciate it very very much! Thanks again, Jason!

Jezza Smilez
Jezza is an amazing artist doing work in our field. I have the pleasure of knowing him in real life and am honored to be pals with ‘im! He’s the one who did this drawing of the Anti-Heroes: (which I originally posted in my Guest Art Bonanza last month here.) You need to check out his Thundercats, which are, quite literally, the sexiest renditions of them I’ve ever seen!

TheNookieBlog
NookieDog has been posting steamy erotic work on his blog for about a year now. It’s a great composite of original hotties and fan-art, but all rendered in warm, realistic style. I am pleased to show you guys this present he gave me today. It’s a fan-art of the Anti-Hero, Tai, done by NookieDog’s careful hand. He has a way of blending these really stark, stylish graphic elements (like this awesome background, and the thick contour line surrounding the figure) with subtle academic rendering techniques (like the texture in Tai’s skin and that beautifully rendered body hair.) Thanks NookieDog for a great gift and a great way to kick off this 3 day weekend!

Guest Art Bonanza!

By | Anthony Gonzales, Anti-Heroes, Caleb, guest art, muscles, Tai, xxx, Zeke | 6 Comments
Leave it to me to inspire tons of awesome talented artists to send me their porn drawings! HAHA– just joking. Most of these aren’t even porny– but still great, each in it’s own particular way. As you guys know, I adore seeing the Anti-Heroes rendered by other artists. So, without further ado, I’ll present the collection I’ve amassed over the past few weeks.
These two below are by Anthony Gonzales, a great friend and amazing artist. The Power Suit Caleb one, I plan on getting a better scan of, eventually. And the Black and White one is for me to color eventually– although I like how the inks look as is. BUY ANTHONY’S BOOK!

Next up is another by Jeremonkey. (You may remember, he did a cute drawing of the Anti-Heroes back in May.) This time, for my birthday, he gives us his version of one of his favorite scenes from issue #1. He’s really captured both of their personalities here. Also love his coloring style. Looks like a lotta work!


This piece is by my good buddy Kitt Mouri. She sketched this one out while helping me run my booth at the Gay Erotic Expo a few months ago. Tai, I sometimes try to convey, can be a little elvish. Elves are something she specializes in. Good fit!


Here’s a great one I actually got a while back and forgot to post! Yikes! But back when Charha drew it, Tower posted it on his blog. It’s Tower’s characters Ractus the rat, Lange the fox, Revedian the tiger, and Tower the wolf doing cosplay of Zeke, Locus, Camili-Cat, and Tai respectively. Locus and Cam are (of course) Class Comics characters. Whenever I look at this one, it makes me wanna get into furry.

Next up, here’s Power Suit Caleb as drawn by Iceman. Recently I’ve connected with Iceman after being a fan for many years. We agreed to art trade– I did MidnightMan and he did Caleb. Great action pose and lighting.


Here’s a piece by a new friend I’ve made recently named Jezza. No website up for him just yet, although we’re workin’ on it! Jezza can draw pretty realistic, but I was floored when I saw hi more cartoony take on the Anti-Heroes. He’s got a fresh, unique style. Can’t wait to see more from him.


Lastly, I’d like to treat you all to a REALLY special treat. I’ve always been interested to know what the Anti-Heroes would look like as genuine bona fide action figures. So, I decided to commission Tobias Trost over at Imatoy.

I had been corresponding with him via email for a while and always knew in the back of my head that he’s who I wanted to make my Anti-Heroes toys. He does really great work. Tobias said that these were some of his favorite pieces to create. Indeed they are unique because he’s working in a larger scale and using more sculpting and painting and accessories than ever. It’s all made for some really great models of my favorite hot hung horny hard-bodies. My favorite of the three is definitely Zeke. There was a lot of back and forth and experimentation with him, but he came out pretty amazing.

It’s funny because I have these on my shelves with my Marvel Legends and Sota Street Fighter toys, and people ALWAYS double take when they see the Anti-Heroes amongst them. Like, “Woa! What X-Man is THAT supposed to be– with the big bulge… oh wait… that’s one of your characters!”

Thanks to everyone who sent me Anti-Heroes art. You don’t know how much I truly appreciate it! There’ve been days lately where I’ve been feeling like this whole art thing isn’t worth the effort, so when I get great gifts like these, not only does it make me feel good, it also validates my staying in the game. As long as someone out there likes it, I’m gonna keep on doin’ it! THANKS! SMOOCHES!

The Anthony Gonzales Fan-Art BLOWOUT!

By | Anthony Gonzales, Anti-Heroes, Caleb, guest art, muscles, Tai, xxx, Zeke | No Comments
I’ve been sitting on this for a while, but I think now is the time to reveal my pal, Anthony Gonzales’ massive fan-art collection of the Anti-Heroes!

I spoke about Anthony in an older post in response to a few fan-arts he did of my original characters. Little did I know then that he’d give me a TON more!!! I wanted to display ALL of it right away but that was during my hellish-no-time-for-anything-pray-I-don’t-shoot-myself period. Now that I have a little breathing room, I feel like it’s finally time to show you guys Anthony’s awesome masterpieces.



I draw with Anthony at the Workshop, and fell in love with his style early on. He has a way of really capturing a man’s masculinity and virility with nothing more than a sexy pose and naughty facial expression. And he’s a speed demon! No joke, I’ve seen my man sketch, pencil, ink, and color a piece to artistic completion in less than 20 minutes. That’s why even though I was super-excited to get these, I wasn’t too surprised at the volume. I bet he can do 5 of ’em in a night!

Some of these are colored by Anthony. Others are colored digitally by me. We make a good team, huh?


He even showed me some of his thumbnail sketches for pieces he didn’t end up doing. (The two below this paragraph.) He was going to toss them but I begged him to let me hold onto them! They’re pretty detailed sketches, dude!


I also love that he’s into more than just the 3 main characters. He’s a big X-Men fan just like me and thusly likes my mutant rip-offs, the Bomb Squad. Below are a few of his sketches of them.


One thing I always marvel at with Anthony’s work is his incredible attention to detail. He has a vivid imagination and not only comes up with the figures from his head, but also the props! I kinda don’t love drawing props and doodads, but you can tell Anthony is a pro at it. Just look at this illustration on the right– so crazy detailed, I couldn’t even think about coloring it! (The offer to anyone who wants to is hereby officially on the table!)

I’m a little glad that I held off from posting these for as long as I have because it allowed me to time this post with the release of Anthony’s first art book. Published by Bruno Gmunder, Bronx Boys is a collection of some of Anthony’s best work. Every piece is unmistakably set in New York City. Anthony seems to have captured the very essence of what makes the men here so frikkin’ irresistable.

ANTI-HEROES #3 Available Now!

By | Anti-Heroes, Caleb, muscles, Original Art, Tai, xxx, Zeke | 8 Comments
And so… at long last, I’m finally pleased to announce the launch of ANTI-HEROES Book #3!

They never thought it could happen, but it has! The Anti-Heroes get captured by the Bomb Squad– a team of super-powered bounty hunters!, led by a woman called Parasite. Learn the true secret of Caleb’s “baby’s mother” and why she wants him dead! Will Caleb’s awesome cybernetic power-suit be enough to escape? Find out in this, the first Anti-Heroes book with full pornographic nudity on more pages than just the pinups! And speaking of pinups– there are twice as many as usual in this book, including some in mind-blowing 3D! 3D glasses included!
I am extremely proud of this book, gang. My art has improved tremendously. I took a lot of care in drawing all the action scenes in such a way that’s exciting, dynamic and (of-course) erection-inducing! This is precisely what took this book so long to come out. I actually had much of it done a very long time ago, but then decided it wasn’t sexy enough. So I went back and redrew most of it, revealing the boys’ drippy dicks and heavy nutsacks as much as possible! I even show a bit of female nudity! This book had to be my raunchiest yet, and thusly, the page count ballooned to an almost unmanageable number. Because of the length, I opted for perfect-binding with a spine, as opposed to stapled binding. In the end, this issue physically feels more like a graphic novel than a short-form comic book.The color this time around is beautifully rendered by the artist, Silvano. His hard-edged, bold shapes really compliment my sharp line, lending the art in this issue more toward cel-shading than a traditional comic book. It ends up looking like stills from some hot steamy cartoon! Fans of animation will really appreciate this book.Oh yeah… and did I mention this puppy’s got a few pages in 3D?! I admit, this was a last minute decision, urged through my friends and partner. He is the one mainly responsible for converting the 3 Splash Pages that have a 3D version. And let me tell ya, if you forgot how awesome anaglyphic 3D really looks, these few pages will definitely remind ya. It’s a little trippy.
So, take a trip over to my online shop and grab your copy of Anti-Heroes #3. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you may even spooge yourself!

Here are previews of 2 Splash Pages I’m working on for issue #3. In the coming days, I will post more preview pages now that I’m getting the colored pages in.

All I can tell you is that it’s something that has never before been seen in the pages of gay erotic comic book…

Everyone Should Draw Orc-Sized Cocks

By | Anti-Heroes, Caleb, guest art, hairy, muscles, Tai, twinks, xxx, Zeke | One Comment
The other day, I was delighted to find this masterpiece of fan-art drawn by a Jeremy Thew in my inbox! In his words, he wanted to prove to a friend that he could draw orc-sized cocks!

Jeremy puts the Anti-Heroes in their outfits from Issue #1 and really seems to capture all the little subtle details I stick in those guys. I love how adorable he made Tai, what with that cute anime smile! I also really love the way he renders nipples… very pluckable!

He has two more galleries online that I think deserve a looksie. His DeviantArt site features a lot of cool Sailor Moon fan-art while his Y!Gallery site has some great xxx pics of pretty boys and their pretty dongs.

Thanks again, Jeremy! I LOVE the piece and am happy to have been introduced to your work!

Anti-Heroes by Aneros

By | Anti-Heroes, Caleb, guest art, muscles, Tai, xxx, Zeke | 3 Comments
I love to support other artists working in the field of gay erotica… and I also love seeing my Anti-Heroes depicted by other artists. Such is the case here, a piece I commissioned from Aneros. I’d followed his work for some time and am a huge fan of his depiction of the Blue Bomber. So when I saw he was taking commissions, I dove in!

Aneros drew each of the Anti-Heroes separately and then combined the single images into the sexy masterpiece above. Tai looks extra heroic holding that sword and Zeke’s pose and expression are positively adorable. But I think where this piece really shines is on Caleb. The coloring on the figure is very rich and the weapon design is awesome! it’s different from anything I’ve ever drawn, and yet, I could still picture my favorite cyborg megalomaniac toting it with no problem!

Please visit Aneros’ Labyrinth to see each of the figures separately as well as all his other delicious work. And a big special thanks goes out to Aneros for officially joining the Anti-Heroes guest artists club! Now who’s next?

The Vault Reopened

By | Anti-Heroes, Fan Art, Marvel, muscles, old works, Original Art, Tai, twinks, X-Men | 9 Comments
So I’m in an annoying state right now where I have tons of drawings only halfway done. I like to work on more than one thing at a time but usually they’re are all at different levels of completion. This time, everything I’m working on is kinda far from being finished.

Looking back, I shouldn’t have been so post-crazy during the month of January. I doubled my normal post rate that month instead of saving things for a time like now when I have absolutely nothing to post. But ah well, it was all stuff I wanted to share immediately and anyone who knows me knows that patience is not my strong suit. bleh.

Cue this latest barrage of ancient drawings! This is all stuff you guys have never seen– all stuff from my drawers and folders and sketchbooks from the past. I’ll show them in chronological order. This first one is circa 1999. I was in my 1st or 2nd year of college and was busy writing erotic stories about X-Men and posting them on the web. This was one of the ones I illustrated as well. All I remember about the story was that I wrote a really good closeted Iceman. HAHA.


Next up was this strange idea I had circa 2002 to create a team of magical heroes based on Sailor Moon— except they’re all boys. I think maybe halfway through the sketch, I realized how gay this was and abandoned it.

This Tai drawing was probably done around the same time. I used photo reference to draw all three of the Anti-Heroes as realistically as I could. I really hate the way Zeke and Caleb came out so you guys can’t see those.

Lastly is a sketch of Nightcrawler I did maybe 4 years ago. Hope you guys enjoyed this blast from the past. I get so worried showing old stuff because I definitely feel like I’ve progressed much farther than this. I hope new visitors to this blog don’t think this is representative of my current work. I guess that’s more incentive for me to post something new ASAP!

Patrick Does TAI!

By | Anti-Heroes, guest art, muscles, Tai, xxx | 6 Comments
If you read the comments on this blog, then you’ll know that the incomperable Patrick Fillion was working on a drawing of my character, Tai. I recieved this present in my e-mail a few days ago and I have to say, I nearly fainted upon actually seeing it!

Patrick is, without a doubt, the most accomplished illustrator working in the field of gay erotica today. Class Comics, created and run by Patrick and his partner Fraser, has done a lot to progress the discovery and exposure of other artists in this industry. All of us, artists and fans alike, owe thanks to what these guys have done and continue to do.


All that said, now you understand why I was FLOORED upon seeing Patrick’s rendition of Tai! His steady hand and attention to detail are phenomenal. Playfulness, innocence, and exuberant libido are all things I try to convey with Tai. Patrick’s seem to have captured them ALL with this one! Please comment and let him know what you think, and don’t forget to stop by his blog too!

And thanks again, dude! You rock the cock! (I haven’t heard that expression in about 10 years, but I still think it’s appropriate in this case. ^____^)
