Domination Art by ClydeChristie


This image sums up fairly succinctly the domination theme that pervades ClydeChristie's fantasy fan art (and it's clean enough to head up the post!) .

The beaten man is stripped of his armour and dominated and there's a slight suggestion that he'll be called upon to provide a very special service shortly, when the dust has settled. The victor is actually chained and collared like a criminal, and it seems, has vented his rage on an intruder who has stumbled into his reach.



The domination becomes even more exaggerated in this image where the artist employs what seems a fairly traditional practice where the winner places his foot on the subjugated man's throat to demonstrate to him the completeness of his defeat. The victor's overdressed companion joins in, placing his feet on the fallen man's chest.

Meanwhile on the left, feet are also used to force a warrior to kneel and await his fate.




This image shows where defeat may lead, The vestigial armour of the captive - collar and gauntlets - is dramatically contrasted with the regally-dressed warrior who has taken possession of him and towers threateningly above. This artist tends to draw his tops like the classic, square-jawed superhero types of 50's American comics. The naked captive here is a much softer, modern concept with sexy stubble. He takes his painful humiliation rather bravely with arms defiantly spread wide, a stance that appears to confuse his new master. 

This scene is depicted as something of a ritual. I'm not sure if the whirl of markings on the floor (in blocks of 7 if you exclude the strikethrough) are a record of the slave's daily torments or a more general count of prisoners processed in this fashion.



Superhero encounters in straight magazines are frequently framed as contests of strength, but involving very complex personal motivations and emotional involvements so it's hardly surprising that gay fan art interprets this with a sexual dimension and this one is a beauty because it doesn't resort to explicitness.

 We don't know if Captain America is going down on the Winter Soldier out of lust or because he's been made to. Take your choice! The artist's restraint in executing the idea lends it a disconcerting sense of reality, as though this might have happened in an original, straight story. If you check out this picture on his twitter account you'll see an animated gif of the porn scene that inspired it which makes a sexy coupling but also demonstrates how controlled this vanilla interpretation is.


 

This image gets us even closer to the nub of his art with the top using his boots to trample the very manhood of the unfortunate loser who's been stripped down to his underwear. There are more explicit images in this chain if you follow the links at the foot of the post.



These less fantastical, more real settings pack more punch for me although the dominant top here, Darius, with his prominent facial scar is still a classic gaming character. 



ClydeChristie also draws on the unbridled, ruthless power of a pirate captain to amplify the sense of crushing power over lesser mortals. This particular unfortunate is seemingly the loser in a tavern brawl or maybe a deserter brought to book. He's tied up for this humiliation, suggesting it will be protracted and may be followed by transfer to the Pirate's ship..



The artist also uses the idea of a 'human mat' in this image. It's a more private encounter, possibly located on board the ship where the Captain's power definitely is absolute. 

The gag here suggests that the naked victim may be the Pirate's booty, carried off against his will in a dawn raid. Possibly something like the previous picture. However you get the sense that he is not entirely dismayed by this plight!



Here the trampling seems to have evolved into an elaborate sexual ritual 
involving members of the crew too.

It's just a shame that pirates have a nasty reputation for 'letting crew members go'
in the middle of the ocean. I'm just saying!



This image takes in the world of leather fetish. The extensive selection of stinging flails lining the walls seem to have already been used to stimulate the prisoner, judging by his pinked skin. However they take second place to the booted foot when it comes to the final intimidating coup. At least this prisoner is accorded the dignity of being chained up to receive his punishment. 

There's a sense of anticipation here which his very erotic.

Visit the links to witness his squashing.



This is possibly my favourite with the helplessness of the victim firmly established by the use of open-legged, feet-off-the-ground restraint. There's a nice extra detail of dressing him in a simple, rope, upper-body harness. 

We can see that the threat to his well-being has been progressively demonstrated to him - by undoing his pants and exposing of his cock - by the foot placed between his thighs, menacingly nudging his balls - and the thumb invading his mouth and tipping his head back so he can't see what is coming next. 

Very clever. 


Despite the Christmassy reference I like the use of red ribbon used to restrain this naked 'slave'.

The image takes a different slant on the foot fetish theme with the sub contributing more directly, acknowledging, possibly embracing, his domination rather than being the passive recipient. 

Perhaps he's a 'Christmas Criminal' who hoped to steal the presents from under the tree and ended up being one himself (there's a link to my spanking take on this scenario in the sidebar).



Darius, the scarred protagonist in may of these pictures, likes to throw his weight around in the gym too. His bound victim here has a pretty muscular body but looks suitably dismayed at his humiliation

Embarrassed too perhaps that his cock has shown a weakness he's rather not advertise quite so publicly!



Is this the nerd's revenge? 
It looks like the culprit has stolen one of Darius' trainers, to savour the memory in private.
With the tables turned, Darius reveals his own fetish response to bondage.



This final image is another model of artistic restraint. In some ways it's the modern equivalent of the dominated warrior, the motorcyclist with his flashy motor bike and high performance, very eye-catching white suit being humiliated by a more traditionally attired biker. One imagines the show-off dandy finally exhausting the patience of his fellow bikers. His humiliation does not require the elaboration of sexual humiliation, well not yet anyway. 

The use of chains to bind him are a very nice, fitting detail. 

This is a very refined view of S&M with exquisite artwork.

I find it evocative how the Dom always seems to have way oversized armour when wearing it.

Is it in relation to the Dom's exceptional *supposed and fantasized about* phallus side?

Plus, these dudes have really, really large shoes/feet. That is also a fantasy related to cock dimensions, as well.

Love the Cap America and Winter Soldier scene. That is Hot!

You are quite right! It must be a cultural thing, even Sonic the hedgehog has big feet!
