The Art of Turquine (An Update) 2

 This is one of Turquine's older pictures, but one of his best, with striking design elements, attractive colouring and dramatic masculine imagery taking centre stage. Not everyone will find the socks sexy but that's part of the humiliation of the victim. The workmen at the window observing this private moment of 'mentoring' unseen by the participants are reminiscent of Jonathan's spanking art. The one on the left is a joyous creation who you'd want to drag in to take his turn.

One of the most interesting of Turquine's recent ventures is 'Appleland'. It's a departure from his normal fare, a story about a cop, who goes undercover in a prison with a new identity, renamed as 'Lucky', but his former life comes back to haunt him there.

 As you might expect, there are numerous spanking scenes, the prison disciplinary system is built on them, but for the most part these play second fiddle to a genuine, crime investigation story with a decent plot. Nevertheless the threat of retribution by sore bottom hangs over every secret move Lucky makes in his investigations.

Along the way the (very heterosexual) Lucky meets some crazy characters like Dr Richard (Finger) Bottoms who treats the inmates every ailment and examination in identical fashion. Lucky's ashen face is a delightful detail here, but sadly the follow-up picture in this scene seems to have been left unposted by Turquine!

 

 Then there's sexy swimmer Mike, who arranges a secret meeting and turns out to be the prison dealer. I love the foot rubbing detail here suggesting he's got a touch of nerves in such close proximity to Lucky's strong personality.

 Turquine constructs a clever climax in which the conflicting strands of Lucky's life collide. It precipitates a humiliating spanking finale for him and he is obliged to endure it, helplessly awaiting the machinations of the storyline.

 

Turquine takes the trouble to depict him undressing, garment by garment, in preparation for his fate. This nicely paced sequence is a treat for voyeurs and helps to create a sense that he's trying to delay the inevitable. You can almost see him thinking about it.

 

The sense of domination and threat to him is tweaked up most effectively (above)

Unfortunately, in a story like this, there is a limit to how much humiliation can be heaped on the hero without destroying his role within the plot. So, in the end Lucky endures it with good humour like true man and hides any deeper embarrassment he may feel .

Read the story: Appleland.

This locker room picture harks back to Turquine's early style with echoes of Franco in the awkward spanking position. However, the styling of the cop on the left and the presence of a black athlete are more modern signatures. In Turquine's imaginary world, adult spanking is commonplace, but still unwelcome to men anxious to maintain their masculine image. This one gets the opportunity to join a spanking club where the cops ass will be up for grabs.

This final picture is a simple one but extremely erotic. Two men simultaneously submitting to punishment alongside each other attributes enormous power to the spanker. In the story here, Mike, the nearest bottom, arrives for a scheduled, disciplinary review to find the previous session with Terence has not yet finished. Suddenly understanding his fate, he is told to take his place alongside his fellow student. It's a gesture that equates his offences and drains his individuality. These men do not know each other but have to their witness to each others punishment. Turquine's dialogue always embellishes the impact of his pictures and the slightly puzzling description of the punishment to come can only add to their mutual and anxiety. 

Great stuff! I recommend a visit to Turquine's blog
