Royale Studio Revival?

 I have been documenting the work of the British 'Royale Studio' (1958-1963) for some years now, both here at mitchmen (click on GIU/Royale label at foot of post) and more recently at the Royale Studio blog and gallery. In this post I present mitchmen's imaginary 'Neo Royale Studio' (NRS) 

If Royale were around to day, I imagine this would be the sort of imagery they might produce. It would be heavily based on uniforms, with a touch of modern daring.

  

NRS Models waiting for their pants to be tailored

Royale tailored garments below the waist to make a tight fit. This trio of models, quite possibly servicemen posing for pocket money, will probably be supplied with close-fitting riding breeches or tights. 

NRS Models Meet Up For Their Shoot

  Two regular soldiers meeting for the first time and learning they were slated to pose together. Many friendships must have been born in the Royale dressing rooms (though I doubt the changing facilities back then were as professional as this). All these men might be wondering if their storyette will involve a spanking scene.

Royale imagery frequently featured quirky uniform combinations, presumably to suit what was available in their wardrobe.

Jovial Dragon 2 - Elias & Ushrev

 Read Part 1

 

Jovial Dragon - Torture Training

 

The first images in this post are extracts from the story of Elias and Ushrev, two agents who work together but are also lovers. They are recruited for a dangerous, secret mission to investigate 'The Silent Cold'. It's so dangerous that they have to be trained to withstand torture before they can start.

 

Jovial Dragon -Information Broker

The agents spend considerable time seeking information and leads from the street folk of the city. 

 

Jovial Dragon - Dungeon Distress

 

But, as their superiors seem to have anticipated, they are both captured by their sinister enemy. Stripped of their clothes, they face the evil of The Quiet Warden.

 

Jovial Dragon - Laboratory Lock-Up

 

Their interrogation is shared. It is protracted and terrifying. 

Finally, the Warden gives Elias a truth drug, and he remembers.....

 

Jovial Dragon - Bare Breakout

An equipment malfunction gives the guys a chance to escape.

Elias is reassured by the sight of Ushrev's ass leading him to safety. 

Jovial Dragon - Bathhouse bliss

 

With their mission complete, the two lovers can relax.

They probably have sex too. 

 

 

Jovial Dragon - Naughty List, Interesting Fun

As time goes by, it transpires that their time in captivity has awakened a secret desire in Ushrev. 

Elias decides he cannot deny him.

Jovial Dragon777 - Captive 055

A naked man looks back in dismay,
as he is hustled away to begin a new life in service.

A series with a hint of Missionary Boys 

 

Jovial Dragon777 - Wild West 048

An outlaw is brought to justice, taken by surprise in the way we always wanted when we were kids.

Jovial Dragon777 - Wild West029

A law man who knows the best way to apprehend an outlaw and gain a confession is by talking his own language. But it looks to me as if there is to be no plea bargaining before he gets his just deserts.

 

Jovial Dragon777 - Wild West022

Facing justice in appropriate style -
in leather briefs that chafe as he goes to his punishment.

 

Jovial Dragon777 - Western0044

 

Ranch hand caught in the liquor store.

Manly men, embarrassed by their interest in female panties, are a weird fantasy of mine. Of course, in the hypermasculine world of cowboys, he might face more than mere embarrassment.

The Cocky Server by MachMuscle

 Sam's the main attraction at the all-night diner.

His customer service is exemplary and he's happily embraced
the establishment's policy of making servers wear shorts.

To the delight of all

He's not fazed by provocative comments.

 

Customers find his openness stimulating.

 

They want to engage with him

 

It's all in a night's work for Sam

Leo-Art - Captured Barbarian

 The inhabitants of a remote jungle village have been taken prisoner by the military. One by one they are restrained and interrogated. 

This X-spread is a favourite Leo-Art meme.
The dangling ball is a very clever visual device, concealed but revealing. There's a better example later in this post 

 

Leo-Art - Fighters Club

Two hunky men present themselves for naked inspection in a glamorous bar. They are confronted by an angry man who clearly has considerable control over them. One looks at his companion as if what they are being told they have to do is not what he expected. 

But there's no backing out now. 

 

 

Leo-Art - Dean Milked

 

In this Sci-Fi scenario, 'Dean' finds himself in an equally irreversible situation. Captured by a humanoid alien and suspended in an uncomfortable, reverse bondage he is induced to provide milk for them (a process which greatly interests aliens for some obscure reason). In fact, they seem to expect him to produce a considerable amount of milk. The glowing collar may be providing encouragement, but this may take some time. Hang on Dean!

 

 

Leo-Art - Devil's Castle 1

 In this picture, two adventurers, have been captured by a devil whose wickedness proved to be more than a match for their young confidence. Stripped of his arms and shackled in a cangue (a sort of portable pillory), the cute one is forced to watch his comrade being humiliated. No doubt his turn will come soon enough.

 

You'll notice that this artist has a considerable predilection for rear views.

 

Leo-Art - Devil's Castle 2

 Twas ever so, there's no gain without pain.

 

 

Leo-Art - Beach Fight

A beach bully gets his comeuppance - at least, that's the interpretation if you believe that blonds are innately innocent and good. I prefer to believe that this is a beach bully doing his worst on a hunky, innocent bather whose Speedos were grabbing all the attention on the beach. 

 

Wrestling scenarios are quite hard to do most mediums, the close interactions and unusual body contortions are a challenge to reproduce and even in photographs it's hard to capture clearly what is actually going on in the tangle without losing the sense of genuine struggle. This image is quite an achievement on that level alone, but it is also a terrific drama, showing power, domination and subjugation. 

  

 

Leo-Art - Warriors

As promised, another dangling ball whose bauble-like appearance belies its fiendish purpose (which I hope I don't have to explain). This render is not as pretty or technically skilled as No 1, but the bauble is more convincingly hung. The different viewing angle is also surprisingly sexy, its effect heightened by some clever close cropping. Obviously the clarification of the frontal threat helps too! 

 

Leo-Art - Greenskin's Dungeon

This scenario, with captives turned into beasts to pull their master's wagon is a popular scenario in art and gay photography (see examples below). Leo-Art's take is slightly comic but has great energy and excitement which picks up the drama of the chariot races and stagecoach chases in movies of yore. The slaves must be asking themselves if this contraption has any brakes.

  

In other versions of this scenario, the slaves usually they use their hands to pull the cart or carriage (as in Pony boys by M.Carcel and AMG Pony Whip), Roa used a chest push in Jim's Pony Duty, Etienne used a waist belt to harness his enslaved sailors to a plough, but here another cargue/pillory device serves as a halter, so the boys have to use their shoulders. The desert setting reminds me irresistibly of Chirenon's Captured Airmen, visualising this as their ultimate fate.

I thought it prudent to censor this one, the original was already spoiled by Japanese-style zig-zags.

 

Leo-Art - Varane - Whip

If you like your men well hung, Leo-Art's your man. 

Varane is one of his characters, the olive green loin cloth suggestive of a military man. Leo always shows the feet pointing down which adds to the stretching effect.

 

Leo-Art - Glory Hole 1

This image and the next show that Leo is equally imaginative with more down-to-earth interactions between men. You'd think this has been done dozens of times, but I'm struggling to think of a memorable example. The interaction between the two 'users' adds something extra to the narrative, as if this is a club with different layers of membership. No prizes for guessing who's got Premier.

 

Leo-Art - Glory Hole 2

 

Renders provided the first ability to automatically change the viewpoint of the imagery and often resulted in an oversupply where the artist was unable or unwilling to choose the best. That's gone into overdrive with AI, but I thought this variant was worth including as it shows us the faces of the two men and with it a clearer narrative. 

 

 

Leo-Art - Foot Fetish

It's quite unusual to find an artist who embraces the fetish of the foot quite as enthusiastically as this. Even Etienne treated supplicants as respectful samplers of a rare delicacy. The pointing finger of the master seems quite unnecessary in this case, which diminishes the kick he gets out of it himself - unless he likes to ration his sub. 

 

From the artist's point of view, the demands of picturing a foot in this situation are also diminished, most of it is hidden. That may explain Etienne's approach, he simply loved drawing feet.

 

 

Leo-Art - Brian the Soldier

This unusual close-up of the abdomen of a man firing a rifle speaks for itself in both artistic and erotic terms. Renderers often surround their subjects with vast, empty spaces which drains the erotic value. Leo-Art is much more attuned to the art of selective cropping. 

Very nice.

Leo-Art works closely with BrosFate and their styles are similar, but I'm surprised to find I have only posted Leo-Art's work at mitchmen once before: Another Whipping back in 2021

A Lonely Ride

Virgil rode the elevator up to the 25th floor with an anxious feeling in the pit of his stomach. A summons to the President's Office usually meant good news, a promotion or a raise. But a summons that required him to attend wearing just his underwear and after everyone else had gone home? No, that was not good news.
