The Art of Saolin1234

Saolin1234 - Hunter the Pirate

With muscles, bondage and erotically-torn clothing this image comfortably qualifies for posting at mitchmen. Saolin1234 is a relatively new arrival on the gay erotic art scene, but you can see he's already skilled as a renderer. This is - no was - a well-dressed pirate before those disembodied hands found him defenceless and that crisp neatness is a hallmark of Saolin's art.

Saolin1234 - Soldier76 Memories

His characters are refreshingly mature or at least, well beyond boyish. If fact one of his stock characters is the battle-scarred Soldier76, who is so old (!) he has to dream about the sex he used to have. Would that every man looked like this in old age, it's clearly a young man's perspective, but that does not detract from the sensitive quality of his image, nor the restrained depiction of some nice muscularity. Shorts are always a welcome ingredient for me.

Saolin1234 - Soldier 76, bareassed

In this image, Soldier 76 is allowed to show his best asset, largely unsullied by time and experience.

I have always thought the combination of a bomber jacket and bare ass would make for a sexy picture and Saolin demonstrates it here.

Saolin1234 - An Old Man's Love

I won't take my coat off, I'm not stopping!

That trusty bomber jacket seems to have done the trick for Soldier76 this time.

I think we must put the apparent age-ism down to language translation difficulties.

But I love the picture not least because it makes his scars a positive ingredient.

Saolin1234 - Thor

An attractive but fairly routine tentacle picture although the companion piece (shown below) has an innovative milking mechanism. Thor seems like a younger version of Soldier76. His shorts look great and the tentacles sliding underneath them are genuinely erotic. I like the white singlet too.

This image also has the virtue of not going for overkill, thus there's no anal or oral invasion.

Saolin1234 - Thor

 This sequel with all clothes gone (or going) shows that the tentacle creature utilises a skin-tight membrane for milking  and is secreting a gooey substance over the captive's body. I like that idea, but it primarily works for me because the captive human is extraordinarily attractive and thanks to those shorts I can imagine him as a rugby player in need of rescue from imminent probing.

Saolin1234 - Title not known (One is not enough?)

Another hero held as a captive has his clothes ripped apart as predators close in.

The olive coloured vest and socks suggest he's a military man

I like the detail of the ripped garments with broken threads projecting,

also the pec-grabbing hand.

Saolin 1234 - Anal Power Battle

This whimsical piece showing anal 'power' as a ring sport is genuinely original and provokes the imagination as you try to visualise exactly how the rules of this contest work. Is it about gripping strength or passive endurance perhaps? The little cameras capturing the state of the contestant's erections suggest it's actually about who comes first. Even then there's lots of room to speculate about tactics.

Saolin1234 - Title Not Known (Smokin'?)

This picture of a big boy relaxing with a ciggy won't appeal to everyone but I like the chunky thighs and unselfconscious projection of sexuality. Saolin's use of socks is a particularly sexy detail and to my mind he shows that a clothed crotch is no less alluring than the full monty.

Saolin1234 - Fuel Dispenser Leakage

This final character harks back to Soldier76 but he doesn't bear the same scars.

The heavy duty glove and translucent underwear say it all.

This artist's images are beautifully drawn with interesting characters.

The more interactive of these pictures suggest there may be even better to come.
