🐓 Feathered Snake

I've re-read the story a couple times, and I can't tell if he's supposed to be like Nuv or Jack. He doesn't look right if you were going to make him limbless... Then I saw your above comment. It's a credit to your work that my brain jumps to "limbless" before "basically a bust portrait". Hahahahaha... You've got me thinking zebras when I hear hooves now.

No, I was just trying to make a portrait/composition of sorts, using his arm as a picture frame :D

🎀 The Moebius Boy

Is there a contortionist-related saying for jumping the shark? Like, "they triple back bended it," or something? Whatever it is, you finally found a way to do it. I'm genuinely impressed, with your portfolio, that it's even possible.

I don't know why this makes me so happy, but it does. I love seeing how you cheat anatomy to put so much realism in your pieces. I also really love when you get weird.

Sometimes the best ideas just come out of nowhere. Like, I was trying to take a break and work less, but then this idea popped into my head - "a human knot", they say, but what if I turned an actual knot into a human? And I just couldn't shake it off. It's pretty much 100% of my art that's made like that - I mean, I'm just trying to relax and do nothing, but then these ideas come along and I can't help but drop everything and go for it.

It's kinda crazy. Like, I was sitting there wondering how Wolfy would push Helmut's stomach against the back of a chair like a tube of toothpaste, and then Helmut would have this blissful grimace on his face. And I just couldn't resist. But not every idea is worth pursuing - like, drawing a person in the shape of a cone? Nah, that one didn't really grab me. But pushing a cone into a person? Oh yeah, that's gold. Sometimes you just gotta play around with ideas until they hit you just right.

That's my art journey in a nutshell - always on the lookout! :D

🧸 Teddy Bear is the Best

I'm so mad at you for this... I really, really, like this version of Martin and I know it's going to be another long wait before you draw more...

One, that poem is so weirdly hot. Seriously.

Two, that hair, that face... I'm at a loss to compliment you on him in any detail because it's all so beautiful. My only criticism is that his pouch isn't big enough.

I don't know where this is going, but I am rapt.

Oh I didn't expect you'd enjoy it so much, since Martin looks super different, "not my style" and blah blah.. XD But I'm very glad you liked!

That poem, thought it sounds like a struggle between his cute childish side and the horny teen side... I think we all know what side will take over XD

🎄 mAgIc is here...

I think it comes down to people misusing tools. Remember the controversy over Photoshop, and how it's not real art unless it's graphite and paint?

It reminds me of the screentone sheets manga artists used to use. For anyone who doesn't know, the dot shading in manga is called "screentone" "halftone" and "amatin". It's literally sheets of the stuff you had to cut out over the original picture. It's a pain in the ass, but saves a ton of time over hand shading.

Nobody talks shit about Masamune Shirow using the hell out of the stuff, because he's still a fantastic artist and storyteller. We don't begrudge people shortcuts when they're worth it... Except people who have genuinely no talent and come from a line of people with no talent. These are the fucks screaming about how you have to do everything the hard way because they're so bad at everything, maybe they'll get by just because people see them trying. Then they get shitty at people who have a talent with something, and don't appear to struggle. They're too stupid to know how much work a cheat is, sometimes and have never accomplished anything. They're the people who become low-level managers. I wish a real plague would come take care of the stupid people.

The AIntichrist

I don't even know... What the hell? I HAVE to see more of this, please?

🖤 ANAL OGY

Naomi Campbell, not Tyra Banks. Damn it. I'm losing my mind.

This is the specific photograph I was thinking of. It's by Herb Ritz, starring from left to right:
Stephanie Seymour, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington (top), Tatjana Patitz (bottom), and Tyra Banks, fool.

Sorry, some people were into sports and I was into fashion models. I wish they'd made supermodel trading cards.

The Starfish

I'd almost forgotten about this one!

I may be misinterpreting it, but I get the feeling that Sponge is showing off and trying to get Patrick to join. Patrick is like, "This is as close as I will ever get, this is boring, let's go..." and then he spots the pouch and decides maybe he can get into this.

I love that he's the "smart" one here. The way you've made your Sponge in the various pics, I get the feeling that he couldn't seduce a pervert. He's just too dumb and naive. And, like Patrick, I just want to get him dirty.

Super Weenie

God damn it.... HAHAHAHAHA!!

Screw you, because it's only funny because it's done with your talent. For once, I'm surprised you didn't sneak a snail into this, of all pictures. I'm so lucky I wasn't drinking anything when I clicked on this.

Bikini Bottom

This one is old, and is still one of the hottest you've ever done. You need more of him. I love that his hair is fluffy? I can't explain it, because I don't think I understand it, but his hair is different than how you usually did it at this time, and it's an outstanding feature.

Speaking of outstanding, that pouch is perfection. Don't you just want to cup it in your hand? Just hold it?

Also, another thing you do so well is lower bellies. Between the bellybutton and the dick is such a sexy area on the body, and you draw them so well. Just the right amount of roundness to tell you he's fit, but he's going to feel soft.
