🏫 Benducation

I'm absolutely enchanted. You know me by now and how much I love this fantasy of "casual" contortion, far away from performances or showing off and more along the lines of it simply being weaved into the contortionist's daily life. After all, we all have bodies, right? And they're used nonstop all day. It's only natural for someone who cares about going past the norm when it comes to being able to move their body, to incorporate that naturally into the way they move and act, especially if it's associated with a pleasant sensation! I simply love the picture, an excellent work! So evocative, and Yasha is simply gorgeous.

Yeah it's great to think of bendy ways to do casual things and guess there's no end to the possible ideas! Can make for a great distraction if the stretch is outside the comfort zone, so can do some casual activities to be able to sustain it for way longer and sometimes even forget how much you're twisted when distracted by some book, lectures or stuff on phone or even music. Of course nothing beats video gaming while tugged into a pretzel or any other fun challenge...XD

Very glad that you enjoyed the picture!! Yasha sure can't afford losing to his rival-boyfriend, no way he'd let that brat start bragging about getting ahead of Yasha in something because then he'll never shut up about it! :D

🌗 Fifty Fifty

This is incredibly interesting, I was thinking just recently about a similar idea! The 3d rendering technique makes his body look so damn good in that tight suit, I can barely stand it hahah! Absolutely stunning!
--Alldenspa
Guess we have similar thoughts lately, you of the extra pair of arms and I'm of the lacking waist 😆 I'm super happy that you enjoyed it and looking forward to seeing your idea if you're still up for drawing it! 😊

💪 Belted Wrestler

I'm stunned! He was always one of my favorite chars of yours... The way the rimlight peeks around his body is wonderful, and my oh my those muscled legs-- extremely hot! In my eyes, a beautiful masterpiece!
--Alldenspa
So glad you like him! :D He is an elf which means he's got some regeneration powers, as well as inborn hypermobility in the joints and spine, but similar to how some elves are raised in barbarian tribes, he was raised in a ninja clan, so his muscles were also polished to perfection, which is not the norm for elves :3

😺 The Legend of Spineless Jack

Such a great feature of this lovely character, I'm enchanted! I've always loved this pose... Made my evening to see this posted! The lighting is beautiful too, Great work!
---Alldenspa
I'm so happy that you enjoyed it! If only contortionists were so highly valued by kings and princes, I bet the world would be very different... Imagine paintings and sculptures of bendy youths as you walk through the palace of some ruler, or legends of simple peasant boys who gained a high status thanks to their unusual hobbies 😁

💪 Ruppel Pushups

I'm liking this version even more than the other, the perspective is so GOOD! And somehow I'm enchanted by his chest muscles I can't take my eyes off them! Wonderful.
--Alldenspa
It's amazing when bodybuilders and athletes get into backbending, contortion always adds so much on top of already amazing bodies! I always loved to work on muscled characters but somehow I always need a kick to do that, and in this case our conversation gave it to me, so I'm glad you also enjoyed the result of it! Always eager to see new pictures of your own guys! :D

☣️ Anna Starfall

I'm sad to hear your previous post wasn't well received, I for one really liked the throwback to your older style. And this new one is just as elegant! I sure hope you're not being discouraged from drawing traditionally (in 2d) now that your 3d renders have been so successful... Personally I find all of your work to be very instructive for my own art, and especially the 2d drawings since 3d rendering is still too advanced for me and I can't really pick anything up there...
In any case, Anna sure is an intriguing character! Putting her own twist into contortion by going even beyond what the "healthy" body's range of motion is meant to be, huh? Certainly exciting!
--Alldenspa
I'm very glad you like my works, but for the old style it's best to look at the hundreds of old pictures, I guess... It's a bit too demanding after all and my health is far from perfect after these 20 years of making so much art, often for hours a day, on top of an already stressful job, so I better try to find ways to make art that don't ruin me further... 3D is a good compromise that's easier on my system but I can still add some painting to add more life and soul to the picture.

Hmm, going beyond the healthy range of motion sounds kind of creepy but I guess not creepier than my own description XD I just thought she could kind of dislocate something harmlessly to try some whole new ways to contort but didn't mean it to sound like self-abuse or anything...

🛀 The Flexorcist

I can't believe what I'm seeing! I already loved Yan Feng Gu as a character but this just topped it off for me, absolutely wonderful art and text! The elusive jelly demon... How I'd love to meet him one day hahahaha! Actually I remember the first jelly demon picture you made, it was one of my first favorites of your artworks!
Also, this is very interesting for me personally because I was planning to do a picture with a very similar pose myself! How curious, what a coincidence! I had thought about this kind of "oversplit with the back leg interlocked under the other" for some time now, seems you beat me to it!
Absolutely wonderful work, I'm loving it!
--Alldenspa
I'm so happy you like this fella! Indeed how fortunate would be to meet the jelly demon after already being an advanced contortionist! Yan Feng Gu is just the right guy for the career of a flexorcist, not only doing his job so carefully but also being incredibly lucky with opportunities or at least knowing the most 'lucky' places to go :P

Haha! But I'd love to see a similar pose in your athletic style! :D (also it's already been done in Helmut's Daily Bend July 2021, so nothing new here)

🐰 Fold the White Rabbit

Even with how much I adore your flexible characters and how infinitely bendy they are, I was very surprised and touched (in a positive way) to read that there are still differences in how far each one can bend. This idea that Leslie is being inspired by Helmut and Nate to train hard for the pose those two can already do is so sweet and adds, in my opinion, a lot of depth to these characters and their relationship! In recent time all of your characters seemed to have simply unlimited flexibility and while I love that and celebrate it, this other tone of them reaching limits and pushing themselves is also very intriguing. Thanks so much for these two cool posts!!
--Alldenspa
Well, the situation is that I basically start the software and do whatever random stuff until I can find a good direction that feels interesting and leads to a good picture... So to put it bluntly, all my pictures are "random"... But in stories I can use the fact that one picture was finished earlier than the other, in this case Helmut "did it first" and Leslie here seems less extreme than what Helmut did, not because he can't get the feet down but because the bare feet on top of his head look so cute XDD But in the story could say that he's still training to get them all the way down, haha... because why knot.

🥳 Funny Renaissance

A wonderful pic, and for some reason I found the story really touching! I'm rooting for everything to work out between his mother and him. This friendship between the two lads is so adorable! And damn, if only stretching was that effective irl... I'd start practicing right away! XDXD
-Alldenspa
Thank you so much! When posting I thought this story kind of failed to turn out interesting but if you think it's good, that makes me feel better about it 😊

🌄 Knots & Cliffs

Honestly these Leslie drawings have been through the roof. This is in my opinion some of your best stuff in recent time, I just love it. Absolutely wonderful and inspiring!
--Alldenspa
I'm very glad you enjoyed them so much! 😊

🥜 It's Just Nuts

Omg! Stunning! I knew you'd make another rendition of a combination front/back bend eventually but it's surpassed my expectations easily. Simply wonderful, I hope we can get to see more of him in the future!
-Alldenspa
Ohh! It included a frontbend! I didn't realize that until now. Thank you so much!! I'm definitely counting on Leslie to spread the horizons of contortion 😛

🐟 Jack-O Pose Fynn

I commented on this yesterday, not sure what happened to my comment..? I was writing about how thrilled I was to see Fynn, since I like him a lot and the pic you linked has been one of my long-time favorite works of yours, so I'm very excited to see you're working on a 3D asset for him and I hope we'll see more of him and the ADoRBS squad in the future! Can't wait :D
The pic is lovely, I've been thinking about ways to make that meme pose a bit more contortion-y but you beat me to it! A very cool variation of the pose, and honestly much cooler than the original xDxD Stunning work, I'm super happy to see it!
--Alldenspa
Omg! I can't believe my eyes! I love Fynn, and the pic you linked is one of my favorite works of yours! I'm so glad to see more content of the ADoRBS squad!
I've been thinking about how to turn the Jack-O pose into something a bit more extreme or contortion-y but you definitely beat me to it! A very cool pose, I'm loving it! Seeing that you now have 3D assets for Fynn makes me so excited, I can't wait to see more of him. Great job!!
--Alldenspa

🦪 Two Pearls

It really took me a moment to even realize what was going on here! I can't for the life of me decide which version I like better, both are so cool! It's a pleasure to see Rouge again in a picture, I was already missing him xDxD
Stunning stuff as always, and I'm amazed by the pose!
--Alldenspa
Ah, crap, now I remembered why I stopped making versions of pictures like 10 years ago, it's because every comment is always about comparing them! 😂 It must be some transcultural brain feature, like all the people around the globe at any moment in the world's history laugh exactly the same. I mean it's always hehehe and hahaha, but never something like kuakua, unless we're watching One Piece...

I'm not ranting, just thought it's interesting! I'm glad you enjoyed both pics, I made the other one to make sure it's Rouge because he doesn't look like himself here 😅 And very glad you liked the pose! :3

🌟 DISCOntortion

I'm loving your Danny renders! His more muscular physique fits really well with these insane bends, it's stunning! Please keep up the awesome work!
--Alldenspa
So glad you enjoyed it!! I'm starting to really enjoy the muscled contortionists after seeing your works! Hopefully there will be more pictures of Danny, specially that I love the idea of him cosplaying a flexible Conan the Barbarian :D

Think I should try to read Howard to see if there any stories that Danny would adapt to his liking 😜

🦵 Leg Day

Glad to see you're putting the ideas you got from my DA page to such good use! I had no idea Danny was this bendy, it's incredible! Fantastic stuff, I'm loving how the anatomical details are still so clearly visible despite him being muscular. Very cool!
Alldenspa
Yup, I just love your muscled flexible boys!
www.deviantart.com/alldenspa/gallery
Every day can't wait to see more of them! Such fresh ideas and beautiful bodies, most of your artworks I remember by heart and can remember them just closing my eyes.

And yeah, Danny was super flexible as a kid before his bodybuilding practice, so I thought why not keep him super flexible after? His favorite role model has always been Conan the Barbarian, I bet he'd absolutely love the idea of cosplaying a "bendy Conan" sometime, combining his two huge passions.

I think I'll even add his tag to my Conan pic just because the character looks so much like him already :P

Melonie's House

I found your conversation with Shifty above very inspiring and an educating read. Also, I'm glad you put the picture back up instead of keeping it offline! I too always look forward to your posts and check your page daily for updates. You're certainly one of my main inspirations! So I hope you continue to post and only get better and more stunning at it. And don't stop uploading your stories with each picture either! I enjoy them very much.

I'm very happy that you like our new hero! 😁

🙃 Ups and Downs

Wonderful! Another fantastic idea, so original and fun! I'm loving it! Thank you for your continuous stream of stunning artwork!

Thank you so much!
