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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I hate multi-posting, because I feel like I'm talking to much...

But God damn.

I use my phone almost exclusively, but I saw this on my laptop with a much bigger screen and... That face is stunning, Yuni. You've got all the little micro expressions running the whole time. He looks genuinely alive. He's breathing, for fuck's sake! I never knew how much I wanted to see what that would look like with your contortion poses. The way he bites his bottom lip... I swear you kept his pupils focused forward, even as his head moves, like living things do...

We both know how much of a fan of yours I am, but you also know I don't blow smoke up your ass. This is really, really, fucking impressive, Yuni. Don't make a minimizing joke, because you deserve praise for this. I'm telling you it got a legit emotional reaction out of me. I adore this one. The way you can almost hear his breath at the top of the loop, he's flat-out making bedroom eyes about being twisted up and it's so sensual and beautiful...

I'm just rambling now. I'm sorry. And I'm sorry I didn't look closer the first time, because it's absolutely my loss.

I'm so sorry. That's me above. I accidentally hit "send" without signing.
