I live on a mountain in the middle of a desert. Even thousands of feet in the air, there's still natural springs that constantly flow and make creeks that eventually turn into little waterfalls when they hit a cliff. It's like the neverending water features in a Zelda game. I look down and see nothing but sand and scrub brush, but it's shockingly green and lush up here most of the time. This pic really reminds me of a specific place up here where one of the fountainheads comes up from the ground and it is super lush all around it. This is really calming, and I love the painterly style of it.
Somehow it brings joy thinking that this image might be connected to something real beyond my imagination. I've been living in the same room for over three decades, only stepping out once a week to buy food, even though I don't have any valid reasons, physical or mental limitations - just feelings of total disinterest in every aspect of this world. Not some puny "depression" - the favored label of money-greedy charlatans - but a profound inability to see a single reason why this whole reality exists in the first place. But somehow it always brings joy when others are able to appreciate beauty that eludes me.
There's something so sweet and cozy about this series that's so satisfying. It has a perfect cliffhanger ending that's not frustrating. This is awesome. Thank you.
This was the first picture I actually made of Noah in the laundry and I was so thrilled about how it turned out (lol) that I immediately wanted to make more :D
Again, perfect. The only thing I'd ask for is a picture of him in that dress - with and without the corset like a before and after. The freckles on his chest are such a beautiful touch as well. This whole series makes me so happy.
I remember our talks back when we first met. It's amazing to think that in 2024, TBJ asked me to create an image of someone twisted 360° with an hourglass corset on top of it! Truly, "if you stare for too long into the abyss, eventually you might find yourself becoming a mountain climber, or maybe a cave explorer" :D
Again, simple and perfect. I always love more Noah, and this is an embarrassment of riches. The story is an awesome serial that keeps me riveted for each "chapter". This is really a showcase of your numerous talents, aside from porn.
I'm very happy that you liked the series! Once I thought of this idea of merging contortion twists and wringing out clothes, it was impossible to make just one! :D
He's so beautiful. I adore Noah so much. I can't help but think of the insane ninja laundry scene from "Batman Forever", but that just makes it better.
Thanks you so much for the comment! I haven't actually seen that movie, but after looking it up, it appears that they borrowed that entire scene from an early Hong Kong kung fu film: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymLrsOudpNE
I believe that Noah's recreation of that scene with contortions would be absolutely insane. I really wish that instead of stealing ideas and whole movies from all over the world, Hollywood would finally make an action movie with some kind of a contortionist protagonist, haha. Something like this has only been done in a couple of movies like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Battle Angel Alita (less than 10 seconds of contortion footage combined). But until then, fingers crossed for more backbreaking cinema! :D
A new Yasha! I love the story, but it means I wish Yan was in the picture as well. It's fine because Yasha looks really good here. The pose and angle is so dynamic that I almost missed his waist. And that face, and those eyes, are such beautiful determination. I love all of this.
Thank you for your kind words, tbj. Yasha always looks amazing, no matter what he does - even when it's something mundane like washing dishes or going grocery shopping, he still makes every rubberneck in town pause and watch him whenever he walks by.
Yan definitely needed to show up, but you know how these stories are often written after the picture is finished, but sometimes there isn't enough content from the picture itself to make a good narrative, so I need to add in extra characters and events. But I also often write stories in hope of inspiring more artwork in the future, so who knows, maybe Yan will pop up in one of the upcoming pics.
One of your big strengths in your writing is atmosphe. It's not something a lot of writers can or will do. There's a lot of "...this person said this, that person said that, and they're in a bar, by the way" or way too many adjectives used for everything. You'd think they would sense a problem when every noun also comes with a minimum of three descriptors - "...and then a tired, haggard, exhausted Jim climbed exhaustedly into his messy, unkempt, bed and ran strong, calloused, firm, fingers through his unwashed, oily, matted, hair...".
They have environments that are just backgrounds in a cheap movie - not good or substantial enough to tolerate the characters interacting in any way. The camera can't move or you'll notice it's a cheap matte. It completely puts the reader outside of the story because it forces a third-person perspective no matter how it's written.
You set a stage in a given environment, then notice how your characters would interact in that environment. The sun and the rocks are just as much characters as Remy is because they have impact on the story. And you do it without a thesaurus and a crippling need to prove how smart you are to the reader.
I loved and ill shut up now.
Thank you for the compliment! I'm very glad you enjoyed the atmosphere of this story! Though I admit creating such an environment isn't always intentional, there's definitely some intuition at play. It's like the golden ratio, I don't measure it as it's sort of easy to see when a picture lacks a balance and the way I feel the balance intuitively doesn't match the golden ratio anyway. Just like that I can often sense when a narrative feels dull or overly complicated. I haven't delved deeply into any real writing techniques, the instincts are enough to guide me somehow... ;D
But as you said, "The camera can't move or you'll notice it's a cheap matte." That's the reason why I'm trying to add some stories - without them, the pictures look like billboards on a matte background, so to speak. Some artists may opt for complex 3D environments to achieve immersion where you can truly move the camera around, and I find it really funny how beginner artists think that pictures should be self-explanatory and that it should be like a rule for every artist in the world. If art is self-explanatory and you're supposed to make your own interpretation of it, then what's the point of looking at art? Art is supposed to bring something new, not just let your old self judge it. So I personally prefer focusing on storytelling as a means of creating the world inside the reader's mind without using complex methods like 3D worlds. And I'm glad when it works as intended - to make the picture deeper, raise the "waterline" a bit in the viewer's mind :P
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you need some muscle to balance the rubber, or maybe even enhance it. I always love when you bring a little beefcake to the table.
LOL! Think I'll follow my gut instead! You know the ability to stick around for so long comes from just letting things flow naturally 🌊😄
I really thought I'd left feedback on this... You're trying to get me to accept Lichard, I just know it. This has been some of your best lore building (including in the comments) that now I really want to read more. It's also not fair that you're doing your damnedest to make him beautiful.
Well, I think everyone deserves to see themselves in a positive light, even if they have their struggles ;D Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this piece! And who knows, maybe one day we'll get more stories about Lichard and his journey.
I remember one where he used to be quite a villain but then a couple of his new slaves talked him into taking a break and going around the world with them, so maybe it was on one of those days when he tried to enjoy some silly lifestyle away from his creepy castle ;D
This is decidedly awesome. Even the pic... he is hauntingly beautiful. Sheesh.
I know right!? He's such an interesting character because he has this duality to him - one side being that creepy, skeletal figure with the hollow stomach and then the other side being the sweet sexy boy who just wants to be loved. 👻💞️
From garbage monsters to contortionist battles of Helm's Deep... Jesus. That was legitimately gripping to read. And that butt needs a nibble. Like a salt lick.
Oh man, thanks for helping me to realize that I accidentally made up a whole lore about stunning local hotties taking on foreign garbage 😅 But yes, after all that tight cinching, we should definitely give that bottom a good pinching to keep things healthy down there! 😜
I think my browser was messing up, and I didn't see these originally...
The satin shirt against his skin is a sensuality cheat, but why not use it if it works? Because it does. The eyes are really what kills me here. I can stare into those eyes forever. Good lord, he's beautiful.
Oh no, initially there was just one collective photo, but since you requested it, I shared all of the individual pictures as well! It made me super happy to see how much you liked them! :D
I think you made me fall in love with Martin all over agains with this one. A) I'm a sucker for a Tommy Wilde reference, and this is a good one. B) Those lips should be illegal...
But it's the "mistakes" that sell this. The slight crook of a tooth, one eye is slightly more open... those are the things that sell realism. I could stare at this all day because he's just beautiful.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I try to put as much detail as possible into my works and reduce the overly generic look... It's definitely an interesting challenge! :D
This picture is the one I wanted to see bigger, and I was right. I love the design work on the bodysuit. The seams running down the front, the flame looking pattern running down each side... Those legs! And I always love a callback to Don't Turn Around. I love that one just as much as when it was new, and this one improved on it.
Sorry. I never know what to say when a piece is really good because there's so much to compliment and bring attention to. I'm also super biased because it's Martin... but I think these might be (at least some of) your best Martin pics. I can't stop looking at them.
Thank you for such kind words! Martin is definitely one of my favorite characters, I'm always excited to create more artwork featuring him. I'm very happy that you still remember the old pictures of him like Don't Turn Around :D
This one is just unfair. There's something about Martin where he looks beautiful in old pinup style pictures. Like, I'm sure at least one Hairforce plane has Martin painted on the nose... But the lighting, fur, and general composition is a very '70s style and you made it beautiful instead of corny. It's a simple photography trick to use fur as a tactile cheat because you're a physical creature, your brain immediately tries to fill in physical sensation to translate and this kind of portrait gives it a roadmap. There's also something primordial about furs and incongruity, like using them to convey softness instead of ferocity, still gives you a sense of some wildness just under the surface. Combined with the Harry Langdon halo backlighting and you instantly have a portrait of an innocent angel that also knows how to fuck.
And that kind of thing is probably what I love most about your work. I don't know how much of an art historian you are, but it's super clear you've consumed a ton of art and photography and understand them. It's one thing to say I love Martin's fat cock, but this picture can be critiqued from strictly an art appreciation standpoint, and it holds up without a problem. Anyone can draw a cock, but you know how to make one that is breathtakingly beautiful because you know your craft.
Thank you for such detailed feedback! It's really interesting to read your thoughts on these pictures! You know that we've basically built Martin's character together over all these years, and whenever I write a story or work on a picture I feel like I'm building upon everything we discussed before. Of course, I add some random stuff from my own head but I'm sure if it weren't for you, Martin would have remained as a simple picture of a femboy laying on his giant teddybear. And now look at him, he's probably got more stories about his life than Yasha, as well as the coolest tomboy girlfriend, awesome uncle, a big ol' wang and a massive mansion where he can do whatever he wants. Of course, not everything I make comes straight from our chats, but you always give me inspiration to make new stuff and then feedback to correct it and make more sense out of it.
I don't think I'm an expert in art history or anything, but I sure do love checking out different types of art when I have the chance. And yep, it seems like photography has some interesting shortcuts - you know, throw on a fancy fur coat and put a big lamp behind you to create an instant sense of ethereal beauty, haha! :D
I effing love this! This is your best writing yet and I've been waiting to feel better to tackle it.
Your writing always has a good flow, very poetic, but this really feels like proper storytelling. I don't know if that makes sense...
I love the lore. I adore the idea of using cinchers and corsets in the place of magic wands. I keep thinking about the fights in the first Dr. Storage, and an army of contortionist using their bodies instead of their hands would be brilliant.
On to the next one. I'm so excited!
Haha, thank you so much! I didn't know it was my best story yet but for me this one is important because it finally features the new concept I had for waist-cinching and contortion, with them being actual important practices in this world. So I guess this story kind of splits the lore to before and after, in a way :D
Yeah, I'm usually inspired more by the format of short stories like "The Thousand and One Night" or the tales about Robin Hood, etc, than long ass novels. Novels are great but it's not something I can do, I guess it's like powerlifting, there are world class athletes breaking records and then there are regular fit people. Here I tried to lift a bit more and span it across several chapters, but I think it only worked for 3-4 chapters, the later chapters are not so well connected and just talk about their own thing ^^;
I'm very happy to know you liked the lore, hopefully it will be fun to expand with more ideas over time! :D
The story is so amazing I forgot to mention the art. I'm so sorry... and you're doing a great job of doing... is there a word for twinks but with muscles? Also, how long did all the touchup work take?
Again, I'm sorry for the extra post. I had to tell you that muscles and the cinching... that's not a bad look. You're winning me over.
Wow, thank you so much! I don't remember how long it took, I rarely finish something in a single day because on the next day I usually see some mistakes and potential changes, so I retouch it over and over, then at some point it's hard to make a change without making it worse, so there I stop :D But if I had to estimate, maybe 5-6 hours in total? But it's really hard to say as I made lots of refinements here and it was over the course of a few weeks.
I mean I know this kind of art that involves the use of ai tools is hard to properly measure in terms of "effort". We just have to live through this ice age because in the future there will be no such a thing as art that doesn't involve ai tools, artists will just learn it as a standard part of the process.
I also enjoy that combination (muscles and wasp waists), also wide hips and thick legs make it even hotter. Nothing against skinny guys either, would suck a ribcage any day, haha :D
