'Working Late' revived

Mitchell - Working Late

Delighted to see StoneCrooze has transformed one of my drawings with AI at Deviant Art. My storyline was about a skinhead scallywag getting into an office late at night and being caught by an employee, who was working late. After the usual plea not to call the Police, human nature takes its course.

I've always been quite proud of the characterisations of the two men and the sinister lighting effects that imply an element of malicious enjoyment on the part of the spanker. The AI adaptation didn't quite capture that subtlety, but substituted two splendid hunks. 

 

StoneCrooze - Spotlight #4

In the AI version, the intruder is transformed from a skinhead scallywag into a rugby type with ginger hair and hairy ass, which is some way from my concept, but these are characteristics which I love just as much. The resigned, dozy look on his face is priceless. 

 

The AI version of the sadistic employee on the other hand is probably more believable than mine, albeit with the rather dull demeanour of a responsible adult than a wicked devil taking advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime.   

 

The new picture seems more like a Coach and player scenario, but that's perfectly OK. Thanks StoneCrooze!

Art by Steve Masters 3

Steve Masters - 'Silky' The Pride of the Pits (1961)

The term 'silky smooth' is sometimes applied to the smooth running of a well-tuned, well-lubricated motor engine, but the title of this piece also seems to mainly refer to the garments the guys are wearing. A great deal of effort has gone into making the driver's top look flimsy and clinging. However, silk is a fabric more associated with horse riding than oily motor sport, and in fact, a tear can be seen in the mechanic's top, allowing his nipple to show. 

The mechanic's posture, bent over and astride a tyre, has an obvious erotic significance, as does the phallic object right under his nose. The driver in the foreground seems to be preparing to engage gear with him. Even the oil cans on the floor (with leaking nipples) are joining in. A range of spanners on the wall, like the 'kill' badges on the cockpit of an air ace, suggest the mechanic has size capabilities exceeding his outward appearance.

The punchy decoration of the men's outfits with bold, but seemingly random symbols is a typical Steve Masters' technique. He commonly uses shoulder flashes, their body enhancing effect, quite likely inspired by his experience with the fashion industry. The red discs are more obscure, but this one draws attention to the driver's backside, whilst simultaneously half-obscuring the 'sucked-in' look which might imply enlargement on the far side. Its shaping also seems to reference the leather inserts of horse riding pants.

 

Steve Masters - 'Polo' The Pride of the Stables (1961)

This picture is an obvious companion piece, picking up the horse riding theme and set in the equivalent of The Pits for that sport. The reference to the Sport of Kings in the title provides an erotic pun for UK viewers (see Polo) questioning who Polo is. 'Stable Boy' is an expression of status not age, but Masters' is flirting with dangerous territory. 

Fortunately, the erotic messaging here is more muted than in 'Silky', with the Stud simply enjoying the hero worship by a fan who kisses his bicep (with some trepidation, it must be said) and his mount, who kisses his fist. Hmm. He's hiding his riding crop from both of them. 

The near-explicit rendering of the Stud's endowment reflects his pleasure at the attention. It is disguised on many surviving versions of this image and may well be toned down on this one too, but the shadow of it on his thigh has escaped 'correction'. 

I don't have the coloured version of this image, but the Stud's knee pads look like they may be more red circles (suggesting another aspect to his sexual character). The fit of his shirt resembles the treatment of the driver's in 'Silky'. 

 

Steve Masters - First Tattoo (1961)

Masters' was also interested in the direct decoration of men's bodies with tattoos, although the iconography he used was less bold than his clothing designs, being more intricate and more plentiful. In the picture above, tattooing is depicted as a rite of passage, but interestingly, it's the two mentors that exhibit sexual excitement. The figure in the foreground is actually pointing his out to us. The eagle taking flight out of his pants provides a graphic illustration of the erotic impact of well-considered tattoos. 

The initiate seems hesitant, the passive recipient of a badge of ownership. Like college hazing, joining 'the club' entails submitting to the control of the existing members. There's a hint that eagle man may be marking the occasion, too, adding a new 'kill badge' to his extensive collection. It's not a romantic gesture, more like a blood-brother ceremony with an intensely erotic subtext.

 

Steve Masters - Tattooed Man (1962)

This image shows a man's body completely covered with tattoos. It reflects an obsession reminiscent of the work of some of the Japanese Masters like Hasegawa and Mishima. However, Masters doesn't depict dense blocks of ink like them, his tattoos are delicate and in black and white they seem to emulate the effect of lace and sheer-patterned fabrics. If you look at the tattooed man's thighs, it's as if he's wearing nylon stockings. This image is an intriguing combination of male and female expressions of allure.

The man is wearing a cape*, which creates the impression that he is a circus performer. In fact, the whole background is circus-y. To the left of him is a poster about a fire-eater. He's breathing his flames over the tattooed body. That's a rare clue to Master's interest in S&M that inspired his choice of artist's name. This detail offers further insight into the ritualistic significance of tattoos for him. For the avoidance of doubt, the snake's head on the opposite side doubles up (oh so subtly!) as a hand manipulating a cock preparing to anoint the tattooed torso.

* The cape also serves as a device to separate him from the complex background. It, too, is faintly patterned, but will have been a different colour in the original picture. 

 

Steve Masters - Trapeze Artists

 Masters' had a special interest in Circuses and there are surviving images by him which show trapeze performers simply posing in their tights, without any additional erotic subtext.

 

Steve Masters - Circus Sneaker (my title)

This image seems to show an acrobat preparing to deal with a young man, caught sneaking around the 'Big Top'. The sack on the ground suggests he might have run away from home to join the circus, he might end up, end up and wishing he hadn't! 

Masters' characteristic 'random' lines create the 'double vision' impression that the youth is bare-topped, and that we can see his lean muscularity. Similarly. the detailing of his jeans around the backside is faint and ambiguous. The acrobat's top blurs the boundaries between clothing and tattoos, with looping lines creating just a sense of his hunky muscles. A 'dimple' on his backside seems to deliberately double up ominously as a flaccid cock. Notice too how the end of his belt is entangled with the youth's feet, suggesting his capture and being drawn into the acrobat's orbit.

 I published this image before in a post about little-known vintage spanking images. 

 I don't know if Masters had a personal connection to the Circus or was just picking up on the popular culture of the 50s, which produced numerous television programmes and films on the subject, (notably 'Trapeze' in 1956 which had a gay subtext). Tom of Finland also produced a Circus series around this time and featured acrobats in tights in some of his best known images.

 

Steve Masters - Circus Sneaker 2 (my title)

 This picture seems to revisit the same subject, except that the young man here seems to be exiting the tent rather than entering it. A thief leaving with his swag, perhaps. This one looks older and more muscular. The picture is obviously cropped, which means that the lines around his bicep and waist, plus the turn-ups of his jeans, are the only indication that he's actually wearing clothes. It's almost as if Masters is imagining the acrobat has X-ray vision. We can only imagine what erotic delights were chopped off by the editing process, but it's still left behind a suggestive image.

The acrobat seems to be waiting to spring his trap. He's drawn with a majestic grandeur, echoed in the eagle rising just behind him. It's a contrast with the bulky build of the previous image, but no less imposing.  

His belt is ready in his hand. The end of it curls as if he's just given it a preparatory snap. Stars on the board behind his backside seem to reflect his thoughts. His hand rests on his thigh as if he's itching to stroke himself - or just has done. Masters' has coloured a panel in his tights to simulate a posing pouch and added crease lines to suggest weight. It heightens the ambiguity between clothing and nakedness elsewhere - and possibly cloaks a more overtly erotic outline. 

 

Steve Masters -Cover Art for 'BIG'

 All Master's clothing designs look like Circus garb, but I've never seen an acrobat as daring as this. If only. It would give audiences the added suspense of him accidentally unstrapping mid-performance.

Masters was the design editor for BIG and all their covers featured 'cubicle' style* images like this 

(*see Part 2).

Medical Evidence

This one is a bit irregular too. A rating who has complained about being assaulted by the rest of the crew (a lot of them, anyway) is examined for evidence by his Senior Officer, instead of being sent to the ship's Doctor. The Officer's ulterior motive is easy to spot!

otklad - AI Spanking Art 4

1

 This is a great image that doesn't really need to be particularised. A young man in shorts is intimidated by the muscular, older man right behind him. In otklad's universe he's probably cutting a switch for his own punishment under close supervision, his offence undisclosed, but there are many other interpretations. 

 

He's already cut an enormous pile of wood, suggesting he's gardening, pruning the tree, not just a delinquent on punishment detail. I can't help thinking that he looks a lot more excited than you'd expect a gardener to look too.... 

 

Hard At Work

 

 My take, for a change, is benign. Even when they are old enough to be at work, young men often have a terrible fear of their elders seeing into their soul.

 

 

2

This one is a bit harder to fathom. The characterisations of the two men don't readily fit the 'cut your own punishment switch' scenario. They seem too mature, and the spectacles disable conventional stereotyping. 

Of course, no man is ever too old or too responsible to be spanked, and there's a certain deliciousness in that. But if he's not a pliable son, still living at home, what's he doing in his shorts in the garden?  

 

Sauna Surprise

 

I resorted to the gardener meme again, recalling those ads where women ogle the bare top hunk mowing the lawn. The spectacles give this one a bit more class. The thinking man's crumpet, but not an easy lay on the face of it.

Woodshed Switch

 

This role reversal exploits the more equal relationship in a surprising way. Normally, spanking punishment is conducted in the privacy of the woodshed, to spare the victim's blushes. These look like spacious, private gardens, but the implied proximity of the punishment to home makes the open air option much more humiliating - and dangerous too, if there is a shared secret involved, providing the leverage for the neighbour. 

 

John just has to hope that nosy, Mrs Pringle doesn't pop her head over the fence for a chat with her attractive neighbour.

 

 

3. Missed Another Practice

Ah, the locker room substituted for the woodshed and the good old, traditionalist coach enforcing discipline. He can't be left out of any spanking equation, but changes in society over the years make it increasingly improbable for younger members of our tribe. 

 

The threat of being dropped from the team is no less potent, though. Just ask any Premier League footballer.  The coach's long-suffering expression here makes this image a little bit special, and I built on that for my take.....

 

 

Home Alone

'Home Alone' was never like this, but then again, those burglars didn't find a fully grown up, young man in occupation of the house when they thought the householder was away on holiday. This one's not been left behind by mistake, but has reached an age when he makes his own holiday arrangements with his friends from Uni. 

 

This intruder has obviously done his homework and has detailed plans for enjoying their long weekend together. He's calculated that a bit of controlled aggression will ensure compliance - and it's working so far. He even brought a change of clothing and selection of toys for them to play with. Next up is adjournment to the bedroom, for a careful, military style, inspection of the younger man's shaving.

 

 

4. A Little Chat

 

Otklad draws a veil over causation here too, but the undressed 'son' in this scenario is obviously too old to submit to being spanked easily. His father doesn't look much older for that matter. Perhaps he's a step-father, in which case friction between them is almost a given. He is also allowed to be cruel. Perhaps the step-son, home on vacation from uni, is learning that the house rules have changed in his absence. 

 

It was this image that suggested the 'Home Alone' scenario to me. The father figure with the retro look here, irresistibly reminded me of one of those cute, earnest detectives from crime dramas in the days when realism played second fiddle to star appeal at the box office.  

 

  

Interview With A Victim

The keen, young detective, in his quest for the truth, asks the victim to reenact the ordeal he suffered at the hands of a cruel intruder. Being a little wet behind the ears, he doesn't realise how embarrassing his questions are, particularly for a young man who has stripped to his underwear for the demonstration - and also finds him very attractive. 

 

You might suppose that the brush was used to dish out a traditional, post-shower paddling. In fact, the intruder's modus operandi was much the same as the one above. The shower was followed by a cleanliness inspection and finding himself dissatisfied, the invader finished the job himself. With relish.

 

The victim reluctantly explained that his second cleansing included vigorous scrubbing under the armpits and between the legs. Where the brush ended up after that meant that the intruder's DNA would probably have been wiped off the handle. 

 

More to come!

otklad - AI Spanking Art 3

Two handsome men sit together in earnest discussion, one is dressed in athletic gear. On a makeshift log table before them lies a wooden spoon. I suppose it might signify the athlete coming last in his race, and they're discussing how he can improve. Cue another use for the wooden spoon. His hand is reaching towards it as if he's about to pass it to the other man, giving him permission to use it.

 

It's a wonderfully neat image, even by the standards of AI, with nice close up framing drawing attention to the athlete's open legs and the strings trailing over his bulge. Good-looking and tough, he's perfect for the spanking treatment hovering, unspoken, in the air. It doesn't really need a caption, but I like the picture so much that I wanted to embellish it with a slightly different slant...

 

It doesn't really look like an athlete with his trainer, not in this ultra-private, woodshed setting. It can't be a traditional father and son heart-to-heart, either. To me, this athlete looks like a man that can't be pushed around.  

 

An Extra Hard Bargain

My take on the scene visualises the athletic hunk as a jogger, intercepted on his routine, morning run, by a man who has enough charisma and chat up lines to entice him into his nearby den. Maybe it was cold and raining, so he was more easily persuaded. 

 

He soon notices the paddle, and his host dangles the carrot of financial gain for just a little pain, a reward for all his hard work in the gym. The money hooks him, gym fees are high, but he's cute enough to negotiate. His would-be punisher doesn't mind. His budget will be tested, but it's persuading the hunk to submit that turns him on, the swats are just the hot topping. He can compensate - fewer, but harder. It will be interesting to see how far the jogger's greed will take him, once he's feeling the heat. 

 

 

otklad - Public Spanking

 

otklad's own caption doesn't give much explanation, but it looks like a campsite and these two have obviously broken the rules. Antisocial behaviour, I suppose, because everyone will get to watch their come-uppance. The two men, who seem to be related, look out with bewilderment at the assembled audience, who are, no doubt, expressing their pleasure at being able to witness their humiliation. 

 

It's a nice composition, but inspired a very different scenario for me.

 

A Long Walk Home

Suitably chastised, the lads try a camping expedition on their own. They've picked a secluded area by a lake where they can get up to mischief and skinny-dip away from prying eyes and interfering busy bodies. 

 

Unfortunately, this is private land, and they are not the first to trespass on it. The landowner knows this is a favoured spot because he regularly finds campers rubbish there, so he makes it his business to check it. He's caught the two trespassers red-handed and bare-assed. There's a fine to pay, but they haven't got the money, so he sends them to get some, keeping their tent and gear as a guarantee.

 

For all I know, he spanked them too. 

 

Bare foot and scantily clad, they peer into the gathering gloom, imagining what terrors might await them amongst the sinister trees.  

One seems to be thinking that the men might be quite interesting. 

 

 

This scenario is pitched by otklad as a man being escorted into the privacy of the woods for a punishment that utilises the locally available materials. AI can produce lots of sequences like this that are of interest for how the participants are modelled. Regulars here won't be surprised to learn that it was the muscle hunk who caught my eye in this one. I suppose he does look as if he might be related to the man in front of him and able to leverage that to overcome the resistance of a fully grown man. However....

 

 

Hot Pursuit

 

Darren might be naive and inclined to count his chickens before they are hatched, but he's not innocent. You can't blame him for being attracted to the muscle hunk he spotted on one of his walks in the forest, both of them communing with nature. It was understandable too if he followed him to a clearing and watched him disrobe and exercise, unincumbered by the conventions, constraints and distractions of the gym. 

 

Things got a bit murkier when Darren started monitoring the clearing for return visits by his hunk and peeping at him on a regular basis. Confident in his seclusion, the hunk's 'performances' gradually became more and more arousing and Darren, watching, became increasingly excited and indiscreet. Inevitably, one day, his presence was noticed. 

 
Some muscle men enjoy being admired, but most would draw the line at unbridled lust. Darren hastily made his escape, thankful that he knew the byways of the forest so well that he could shake off the pursuit. Unfortunately, he forgot that there was only one track that led out. The hunk didn't need to be a brain surgeon to work out where to intercept him. 

 

 

The Wrong Trousers

otklad's original of this image is a conventional student spanking, centred on the sexy contrast of formal jacket and exposed underwear. Interestingly, he does not spell out Hawkin's answer. There only can be one, of course, but it signals his complete capitulation, having already been humiliated by the dropping of his trousers. 

 

I have adapted it to my pet fantasy at the moment - making grown men wear short trousers long after leaving education. It's become a condition of employment in many companies. A rule that gives the men the uncomfortable feeling that they are not yet regarded as 'grown ups'. 

 

I retained the Hawkins surname to associate the scene with his earlier days, but I don't know if his new boss has enough power to wield his cane on the employees bottoms or simply uses it to intimidate them. Making Hawkins return to his desk minus his trousers is humiliation enough for an adult.

otklad - AI Spanking Art 2

Read from Part 1 

 

 This is a marvellous, homoerotic image. It has a similar theme to the Rugby Captain in Part 1, with an idealised young man in tight vest and shorts posed with a casually dressed, mature mentor. There's an obvious paddling interpretation, with the younger man seemingly anticipating that fate and assuming the position before his serious-faced elder. 

 

otklad pairs this image with 2 nude sequels captioned to suggest there's a mutual game going on, with the punishment for losing the match being a consensual ingredient. See Loser's confession and Trainer's thoughts (sensitive content).  Sexy though this is, my thoughts took a different direction...

The older man (cum Trainer) here does not seem minded to use his bat to punish his acolyte. Rather, he is using it to cover his groin, as if the sight before him has stimulated something quite different in his mind. A secret desire that can't be ignored any longer.

 

Swat? or What?

In my interpretation, he broaches the subject subtly but assertively, like a trainer would. I think Callum's going to have his experience widened today.

There's a blunter version at 'X'.

 

  The grown up son who is still living at home and therefore can't escape his father's strict discipline is a favourite spanking meme. In this image, the son seems to be patiently explaining to his parent for the umpteenth time that their relationship has changed. But has he got the guts to stand up and refuse in the face of all that anger? If he's still calling his father 'daddy', I suspect not. He'll hesitate, then wearily shuck off his shorts, as usual.

 

Headache

 

The woodshed is not part of UK folklore, but an employer arguably has an even stronger hold over a grown man, especially one who hasn't quite grasped the whole idea of being grown up yet. The visuals in this image set off a slightly different train of thought for me. He's a waster, but I do feel sorry for this guy, having to deal with all this anger. 

 

 

The "Naked Survival" Scout Badge (for Seniors only)

 

This is another variation of cutting the switch for your own punishment. Scouting scenarios are even more liable to be fraught with age inappropriateness, but this is a great picture, so I've added a caption to steer it into the safer waters of simply embarrassing a young man who thinks he has left the torments of adolescence behind him. 

 

In my variation, grown up Ben only has to build a shelter with his switch, but without any equally naked companions to work with, just a steely-eyed, fanciable Scout Leader watching his every move, it's not surprising that he feels a bit hot under the collar! 

 

On Your Marks

Another hunky athlete under pressure. It's clear that this is another trainer who encourages his lads to greater heights with liberal doses of CP, but his exact modus operandi is not quite clear, so let me explain. 

 

You may be familiar with the latest track lighting system that paces athletes so they know if they are running fast enough to break the record (or not). This track doesn't have that, so the coach beats time by administering a swat as the runner goes by, if he isn't going fast enough. Which is more often than not, you won't be surprised to learn. That's why his paddle is so long. That's why the runner is so indignant.

'The arrest' is a well established AI and spanking meme, played out here by a hunky cop, by whom any gay man would like to be arrested. The sports shop setting gives a perfect excuse for giving him a table tennis bat, which may or may not be evidence. The scantily dressed felon looks as if he might be up for a plea deal.

otklad - AI Spanking Art 1

 

 

This is one of my favourite images by otklad, feeding my obsession with men wearing tight shorts. All otklad's art has a spanking context, and his scenario envisages a muscular jock ordered to cut a switch from a tree and report with it to the garden shed for a profoundly humiliating punishment. Fortunately, he's mature enough to escape my normal sensitivities about age and though it may have been conceived as parental disciplining, it doesn't have to be viewed through that prism. 

 

I prefer to see this as 'The Stranger in the Woodshed', a chance encounter on a jogger's morning run, but one with even more profound consequences for him than the fleeting pain of a spanking. Rather like those films from the 60s about escaped prisoners being aided by young people, an era that is bought to mind by the fashion of the stranger's pants in the picture.

 

 

The Jogger and The Stranger in the Shed

This jogger is no chicken and picks up the message immediately. He glances down, following the stranger's eye-line and checking if his own excitement is showing. 

 

 

This is a spicy restaurant where the waiters wear tight shorts. Little wonder, then, that a customer's casual caress has precipitated a spill of the Chef's, lovingly prepared, signature dish all over the floor. The waiter's apology, made with his hands in pockets and averted eyes, is a typically defensive young man, but comes across as less than sincere. Understandably so, in the circumstances, it wasn't all his fault. However, I dare say the Chef has seen him do this before and finds his trademark backside display more disturbing than his carelessness. 

 

These days, we all know that Chefs can be temperamental and fiercely critical of shortcomings in the staff. This one is hunkier than most, and in spanking land that may well be contributing to the waiter's insouciance about the squashed soufflé. The prospect of a paddling from such a forceful hunk might actually be quite appealing.

 

 This image features some very nice colour toning. The artist supplied his own caption and the scenario is so wacky (if I may use that term) that there's little else I can add, except I'm not sure about the Chef's hygiene standards for his utensils!

 

 

The Team Captain is a hell of a hunk and his stoic expression shows a steely determination to do his duty without complaint, but he is obviously dreading it. It's irresistibly attractive. His tight, cropped T-shirt provides an obvious erotic focus, but the bare midriff and neat shorts beyond repay contemplation too. The red rose tells us that these are England's top rugby players, a fine body of men, these days, well represented here. Cropped tops are not usual in English training scenarios, perhaps that's why this show-off is being made an example of!

 

The Coach is a nice creation too, he even makes jogging bottoms look sexy! The sort of man any team would be happy to follow loyally and unquestioningly. Humiliating punishments included, these guys are no strangers to public pain. The coach is so impressed with his captain's sacrifice, that he's swapping the demeaning table tennis bat in favour of treating his backside with a firm, manly hand. 

 

I've taken the liberty of changing otklad's original caption here because it didn't seem to quite fit with the visuals (see it here). 

 

 

I suppose Superman has similar, inspiring credentials to the coach above, augmented by super-everything, including his physique. I would have thought the intimidating super-paddle is a bit unnecessary, though, for a man of his strength. Sadly, he's much too decent to manifest visible excitement about the duty he's about to do, but the manner of it doesn't quite gel with his goodie-goodie image. 

 

Jimmy has a 'nice boy' image too, so he must have done something truly terrible to have earned this. Bad-mouthing Lois Lane perhaps, or dropping a clue to Supe's, true identity, maybe. Now he learns the price of going public in the most graphic way imaginable. There's a prurient interest in ginger pubes amongst mankind that he's about to learn all about. Fortunately, if Superman's conscience is pricked about what he's doing (or he feels some other distracting desire), he can always carry Jimmy off with his pants round his ankles to finish in private on the top of a (phallic) skyscraper. 

 

 Locals are getting a bit fed up with the antics of drunken tourists, spoiling the innocent fun of Oktoberfest. It doesn't help that they call everyone Hans, either. 

 

A stern official has decided to give this one a taste of another traditional practice. His son can testify to its vividness. This parade through the village is just the beginning! I expect someone will take a video of it and put it on social media and thereby create a lasting memory for the tourist, in case drink (or embarrassment) clouds his own.

 

otklad has utilised an improbable AI meme (is that the right word?) that a number of other artists have also discovered. Matt (of Jockspank), for example, who clad the characters in grey, flannel shorts of similar brevity. I like the obvious maturity of the offender in this image, it makes his comeuppance so much more profound. Those tiny shorts! I feel for him! His muscular tormentor is also hugely desirable, offering a tight shirt treat to nipple fans.
