I just saw the story, and it's cute as hell. I can't help but think of them as the world's weirdest helicopter parents.

Two things:

1. They are super cute together. Like really, really, cute - quite aside from any naughtiness . They're just fun to see together. I can't put my finger on why, but I want to see more of them together.

B) I can't think of how it would work, but I keep thinking of a map of Yuni being used as an erotic Twister game somehow. Maybe it's wherever you finally land when you lose, that's an act you have to emulate...?

I'm just following suggestions on the last thing I looked at...

I'm not a Tolkien fan (I don't generally like fantasy as a genre), but those movies are so brilliantly made that I've seen them all more than once, despite not caring a bit about the plot...

You've done a brilliant job of making it a little cheeky and funny, but it's also a really well composed shot. There is an underlying sinister feeling there for sure, and it's really uncanny.

I can't stop thinking about Mr. Ice Guy making all the terrible puns from Mr. Freeze in "Batman & Robin".

Side note, it's one of my absolute favourite movies of all time (for real, unironically), but how did they not have Arnold say "Frosta la vista" even once?

I really love this, especially with as long as I've been bugging you to do a Yunia version of a Monster Manual. One of the things I love about your sense of humour is that you're unabashedly corny and cheesy, because you do it in such a clever way. You elevate the art form.

Also, I bet that barrel hole comes in quite handy for a number of things.

This was suggested under "False Mermaid", and I had a flash of that scene, a variation of which has to be in every Terminator movie, where Arnold walks up to someone in black leather and says, "I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle..."

This is cute and so is the story. I love when you do bratty characters who are a little full of a hot air. :)

I'm not good at finding hidden images, like that one that's a candle stick or two faces, which is what makes this more terrifying... I see what looks like teeth, tentacles, and hair, but I can't tell what it might actually be. That's what makes things really scary at night - the ability to "unsee" something creepy. Oh, it's just my coat hanging on something in the dark. What sticks with you is when you can't rationalise what unscarry thing you might be looking at.

This is really brilliant, and I don't think I'll be looking at it again. Hahaha...

I'm picturing a Siegfried and Roy mashup with Aleksi, and his act is out-contorting the big cats while also performing magic. Like a never-ending scarf from his bellybutton, or he stands up and a thousand foam balls fall out of the crook of his back...

Thanks for lifting my mood considerably, Yuni. I'm really grateful to you.

Martin, Tommy Wilde, bendy... It's like you made the picture by playing artistic bingo. These two have really hit me right in the feels and made me genuinely smile for the first time in a while. I don't know how I'll ever pay you back, but I super owe you.

I'm assuming you modeled this one on "The Boys Of Wilde Island", which is such '80s VHS schlock... I love that it's supposed to take place on a tropical island, which amounts to throwing a couple potted ficus plants on a patio.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. :)
-tbj

Hahahahahaha!!! I can't believe you finally got around to doing it! You mashed him up with Tommy Wilde!

The bigger version of "Birthday Suit" will always be my favourite version of Martin, but this made me very happy. I'm serious... This has absolutely made my day, if not month, in a lot of ways, and I deeply appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time, and thank you for sharing it.

Here's the music video, in case you lost it. It's not a "real" music video - it was specifically made for a porn he was in called "Head Bangers". It's really him singing, though, and it's my understanding he did try and make a go of a singing career for a while.

Seriously, thank you.

I love the mythology. The image is disturbing AF, and I still kinda love it. ;)
-tbj

Wait... Is Martin his photographer? I could see him having a stable of models and being something of a Pygmalion.
-tbj

God damn, this is good. I love everything about this. World building, character building, and outrageously beautiful images. I can't be more specific, because it's all just good and works. I do love the metaphor for self realisation.
-tbj

I'm loving this so much.

It's got a real Capcom feel, I think? It really feels like it's art from one of those amazing, in-between, consoles like Neo-Geo or Jaguar?

I think this is you creating a new genre, like Vaporwave - it's something that feels super nostalgic, but didn't really exist in its own era. It's improving on nostalgia. I hope your muse inspires you to do more as real box art. Maybe invent your own fake console for them - and it has to have a weird hook. Like PS3's cell computing, or the original Genesis's insane audio processing capabilities...

The Yuni-Vision was the successor to the original, fairly obscure, Jahi Calumniator Computing System (CCS). It was a 24bit system that had motion controllers and a version of the Kinect, but way back in the '90s. It even had early cell computing capabilities that let you "daisy chain" them by plugging a big, thick, cable into the rear. It came bundled a game that mostly involved having to twist your body to make it through tubes and forming your body into shapes that appeared on the screen at the right time as a combat mechanic, kind of like a DDR and Arkham Asylum mashup.

Since then, the fan community has kept it alive with new games and the proliferation of 3D printing has brought all kinds of peripherals that would have never been allowed on the shelves of a K-B Toys. For some reason the rights are held by Tenga, who has no plans to produce an homage system like the mini systems.

Sorry, that was me above.

This really made me smile and was a lot of fun. Thank you for sharing it, Yuni. I didn't know it would be so interesting to watch you work, but it is!

Damn it, that's just beautiful. This is one of the rare ones where the story is better than the picture, but only because the story is so good.

I don't want to be dismissive of the picture, and I won't be. You did something a lot of people can't manage — do short fur around, say, the torso to show off definition, and don't make it look like skin out of laziness.

God damn Basil makes want to do nasty things to him.

This kind of reminds me of the old Rumplemintz from back in the day. They were always in Playboy, I remember. Just google "rumplemintz valkyrie" and it'll come right up. I always wanted to have a van to put that on side of.

I hope you have more to keep going with this. Seriously...

Last... You couldn't move Basil forward just a little bit toward Archie's deliciously furry thighs and made that pose functional? I think that's what it is... Your pictures are always so sensual and have a weird virtual tactile sense, and fur over muscle is such a great feeling. I just want to spend all day running my fingers through his fur!

Shut down all the garbage smashers on the detention level!?

This is so cute and it makes me very happy. Thank you! It's weird, super bendy, whatever, it's just fun and I love it.

I love the idea of Martin. That's the point of a fictional character — putting them in different situations. There's never been a real model for Martin. He looks super different from pic to pic, and that's fine. I think all your characters are "anthology" characters, meaning there's no set canon or character model, there's just ideas of what can happen in Yunia. Like Link and Zelda. Same characters, but also not.

I love this Martin. He just needs that equine-like bulge. It's like every Batman always has to have the cowl and cape, that's Martin's beautiful giant cock.
