AI art by Guy Winfield

Guy Winfield's art reproduces classic, 'guy in trouble' scenarios. 
That means there are lots of men tied up in their underwear.
All captions here have been added by me, but I link to the unaltered originals.

Guy Winfield - Unexpected Visitor

'The lone camper' is a theme that exploits isolation and vulnerability and draws on the horror library of rednecks who don't welcome uninvited guests. Sometimes the camp invader is a figure of authority or a lawman, enforcing the rules of a protected wilderness. It's not clear whether this man fits into that category, but his muscles and tattoos create an intimidating effect without any need for a uniform. It looks like the camper won't have the option of refusing his invitation anyway, and I dare say he won't be putting on his clothes for it either. 

 

There's another example of the genre in my post about tru3ai, also in otklad part 3, Stonecrooze and a video realisation starring Logan Vaughn in The Cabin. The take by Jonathan featuring camping buddies is one of my favourites.

Guy Winfield - Cop captives impersonated

The perils of the wilderness are not solely reserved for the young and fit (as was graphically demonstrated in 'Deliverance'). These two unfortunate cops seem to fall in-between those extremes. Their patterned underwear gives their plight a comic twist as the villains speed off in their uniforms and car. No doubt heading for a role-playing convention. If they had left the cops in their tighty whiteys or less, it would have created a very different effect. However, the men who roam these woods at night are probably not that discriminating.

Guy Winfield - No Trespassing

Both captor and captured alike in this variation seem to be dressed in military garb, which doesn't quite gel with the artist's title. Infiltration by the other side isn't usually regarded as trespass. Perhaps civilians who are caught on military land in these parts are punished by automatic induction into the armed forces. The camp guards must carry supplies of army underwear to get them started. I guess that's their civilian clothes going up in smoke in the background.

(or perhaps a companion who suffered an even worse fate, Sci-Fi style).

 

 

Guy Winfield - Overpowered Pilot

This is one of a series, which the artist seems to see as a hijacking scenario. Another uniform-based impersonation scam. However, there are rather dark associations with that since 9/11. My caption visualises a more frivolous scenario, the result of an on-line, Christmas shopping spree by a distant, very rich potentate.

Guy Winfield - The Real Guides (1)

 The artist has also produced a number of variations on this theme, based on the idea of villains stealing the uniforms of two safari guides, so that they can rob the tourists booked in for the trip. 

 

The image is capable of less innocent interpretations than that, of course. It looks as if these two men have been parcelled up and are waiting to be shipped out.

 

Guy Winfield - The Real Guides (11)

 

The crossed legs bondage in this variant is more severe and seems to imply more than simply detention and immobilisation. It's a punishment reminiscent of unethical POW treatment in some parts of the world. In the safari context, these men might be poachers, caught in the act and awaiting shipment to prison. Could be a bumpy ride.

 

 

  

Guy Winfield - The Real Guides (5)

This variation (see artist's unaltered original) seems to depart from the Guide impersonation scenario completely, unless this is an forlorn escape attempt to raise the alarm. 

 

It might be another poacher punishment, of course, but it reminded me of the 'Stud Hunt' scenario of Amalaric (see 'The Thrill of The Chase', image 507 onwards). 'The Hunt' (2020 movie) had a similar plot line. In my variation, the quarry is severely handicapped, suggesting near-certain capture by the pursuers. However, the hunting mode is non-lethal, so that the hunters can enjoy their catch afterwards, however they wish. 

 

There's a slightly edgier caption in my X-post from this group

 

 

Guy Winfield - Impersonated

 

This image of a delivery van being hi-jacked, and its driver stripped of his uniform, has created a splendidly dramatic underwear exposure.

 

However, I get the impression that this hijacker is going to take his captive with him - for his own private, nefarious reasons - or maybe to spare him the night terrors of the forest. He might even be on a mission, sent to collect this man who was caught by a male-order recruitment squad, while innocently walking his dog in the early morning. 

 

If you look closely, you'll see that the captive has an unusual, non-organic shape in his underpants, rather like the base of a well-known sex toy. That may provide an additional explanation of his discomforted expression. His introductory training has already started.

 

Guy Winfield - Stripped For The Uniform

Despite the title, it looks like this chap has been stripped for more than just his uniform. It certainly doesn't look like his attacker is about to leave without him. His fierce expression does not exactly suggest he's got everything he wanted. I don't suppose he wants to leave all that rope behind, either. 

 

It's possible that he has just informed his captive that the polka dot under-shorts will not be needed where they are going. It's no good, looking at us for help, mate. We don't like 'em either!

 

Guy Winfield -First Day in Detention

The artist's understated title here leaves the way open for the usual cracks about cute guys being popular in the prison - with the guards and with the scary inmates. The tape gags might be taken as a none too subtle hint of severe disciplinary standards within the walls, with no talking back tolerated. 

I wanted to find a different slant for my caption - see below.

 

Guy Winfield -First Day in Detention

Escape Rooms are supposed to be fun, bonding adventures according to the blurb. But what would happen if men with dubious motives got hold of the concept and made it rather more difficult? 

These three buddies were probably not expecting to be stripped like real convicts, but it really added atmosphere to their experience. The handcuffs and gags would obviously make puzzle-solving and collaboration more difficult but, hey, they were up for any challenge. Still, the electrified belts seemed a little unfair, they hadn't expected to be punished if they got the puzzles wrong or didn't behave as they had been instructed. 

It was only when they were locked up in separate, sound-proof cells that the truth began to dawn...... 

 

Guy Winfield - Arrested Gangsters

 These two, cute gangsters have come to the jail house dressed in rather nice matching shorts. Tape gagging arrested men isn't normal, but I expect they deserved it. It stops them getting the same story lined up. Could make for some interesting body searches and interviews too. No wonder their expressions are so grim!

 

Guy Winfield - Dutch Football Team in Trouble

 For some reason, soccer players don't have quite the same appeal to me as their burly rugby equivalents. Their shorts always contrive to disguise their undoubtedly chunky thighs. However, this image scores with its tight bondage, pec effects and with No 2's semi-excited reaction to being tied up. They are all peering up into the sky, as if a helicopter is coming in to land. Coming to take them away?

Art by Steve Masters 4

Steve Masters - Greasing The Saddle

This image can't be found in the beefcake publications of the sixties, it's far too suggestive. Master's title seems to imply this is a regular rendezvous for the cowboys, a male brothel perhaps, which would account for the dodgy wallpaper and the rather deprecating title!   

 

'The saddle' doles out lubricant to a cowboy whose intense gaze and thin smile has a pretty scary look about it. Particularly when he's holding his belt like he wants to use it on someone's ass. In fact, you can interpret the image as showing that he just has done so, the rent boy rubbing his bruises rather than lubing himself. Luckily, the other cowboys seem up for fun rather than tormenting their steed. 

 

I've seen this image with the eyes of the two central cowboys blanked out (like the nipple shapes here). I'm inclined to think that could be the original version, because I can't think why anyone would make such an alteration, retrospectively. To modern eyes, it adds a menace that is coldly inhuman rather than lustful. The image above is a more complete version anyway, showing the bed in the foreground. That would have been a controversial ingredient in its day, sex in a bed is intimate and personal, not just a discharge (for which heterosexuals could be excused).

 

The styling of this image has a look of the 50s about it, the chair design being a part of that. The 'hollowed out' drawing style was later the trademark of the British artist, Bill Ward, in his cartoons.

 

 

Steve Masters - Men In a Bed

 

This picture illustrates perfectly the heightened intimacy of getting into a bed with a man. They are not actually having sex, but it's strongly implied. This looks like a hotel room so we can bung in the word 'seedy' as well. 

 

The sailor with his cap still on and sweetheart tattoo epitomises casual, 'rough trade' but this looks pretty affectionate and genuine. The highly stylised, drawing style has produced a picture that is more sensual than might be expected for such sparseness. It cocks a snook at the Peeping Tom in the background, conservatively dressed and looking very disapproving. 

 

 

Steve Masters -Matelot

 

I've censored this image to meet the blog rules, 

but you can see it unspoiled on 'X'

 

This early image in the same style is self-explanatory, a bit of R&R between men of disparate sizes and exceptional physiques. The title of this piece is probably derived from the cockleshell hat, the rear man is wearing. Masters associates it with fishermen in other images. He's also wearing a (just visible) rolled-up singlet with horizontal hoops, a nautical style (a la Gaultier, below). 

 

The background imagery looks like conventional room furnishing, apart from a rope-like construct that disappears through an elaborate hole in the wall like an anchor cable. The subs raised arms give a 'come and get me' tang of the bordello again.

 

Matelot Hoops

There's a further, early image in this style at my 'X' account that ceases to have any meaning if it's censored, but it's actually more interesting for its fetish ingredients than its dix. It features a biker with a captive in a baseball cap (subtly roped round his ankles). Masters uses his 'double vision' technique to disguise a sharp object as a book.

 

 Masters' proclivity for S&M is well-documented and his early images as 'Kurt' feature leather dungeon scenes, which unfortunately are too extreme to show here. The examples I have are poor quality reproductions anyway.

Steve Masters - Cop and Biker

This image bridges the gap to Masters' better known style. The biker cum matelot reels back in wonder at the cop's enormous package, which has a pouch hidden in it, like a kid's picture puzzle. The cop's assets are supplemented by a truly 'bent' handlebar, which curls over his hip like a spare part at an orgy. 

 

The biker is wearing a matelot striped top that is sexily cropped. His jeans are already undone, but both men seem half undressed anyway, as their clothes seem to dissolve away below shoulder level, revealing nipples and abs. A bulbous fuel tank beneath the biker, between his thighs, signals the erotic momentum. 

 

 

Steve Masters - 'Lands End'

 This seems like a typical 60s surfer image at first sight, more wall hanging than erotica, with tasteful nudity. In fact, the two protagonists in the foreground are bikers, one a serious enough enthusiast to wear goggles. His discarded clothing, meticulously detailed in the foreground, is erotic in itself. No underpants! 

 

Masters employs a hybrid outline/shaded technique for the clothing that is fascinating technically. There's a slightly unreal quality that contrasts with the wearer's realistic nudity. The towel trailing between his legs looks wet and seems to show an appropriate outline beneath, but it's well disguised. 

 

The middle figure seems to be gazing out to sea as he undresses. His cap is not the conventional biker style, but more that of a seafaring captain, the nautical theme Masters often returned to. However, the jock suggests he's not pondering the mysteries of the Ocean. He's holding his belt stretched tight, suggesting tension (and perhaps a desire to unleash it). The end emerges from his clenched fist upright and looking like a banana, but I don't think it's his lunch. Not literally. His clothes also dissolve into outlines.

 

 The reclining figure in the background probably is a surfer or sunbather. There's a collage-like disconnect between him and the other figures that suggests to me that he, or his (sanitised) tackle, is the true object of the middle biker's attention. As though these are sketches for a larger, wide landscape picture.

 

I must admit I didn't know where Land's End was in the States*, although it turned out I'd actually been there a few years back. It's on the Pacific Coast side of San Francisco, not far from the Golden Gate Bridge. A popular cruising area, I believe.

 

*My efforts to find the answer to this seemingly simple question showed just how much Google has lost the plot as a search engine in recent years. It's much vaunted AI feature insisted there was no such place in the US, but, surprise, surprise, there was a clothing company of that name that I ought to know everything about. 

 

Thankfully, Wikipedia came to the rescue further down the page with that priceless commodity Google is no longer interested in - information. I can't wait for someone to launch a proper search engine again that supports research rather than advertising, I'd be willing to pay for it.

 

Steve Masters -Showers

I love the secret bottom-touching in this playful and fairly well-known locker room image. It's the best example I have seen of a coloured Masters picture. Authentic or not, I don't know, but it hasn't come from a magazine, it's an original picture. It looks as if it has been exposed to water damage, but that has fortuitously created a compensating effect of steaminess.

Captive

This muscular man is being held prisoner. He's been stripped to his underpants and ritualistically tied up in shibari-style rope work. A bare topped captor silences his protests. The sun streaming in through the window cruelly mocks his captivity. An array of instruments in the background suggest other torments lie ahead.

 

Cop

A cop in his office pauses from his paperwork for a coffee (product placement!) and a snack. He, too, is mightily muscular, filling out his uniform with every part of his body. Tight enough to show us that he isn't wearing any underwear. Some Offices have that as a rule. The doughnut he's nibbling provokes ribald comments about licking tasty rings from his colleagues. 

 

He might easily be the captive of image 1.

 

Convict

It's easy to visualise him as a prisoner. Restrained with handcuffs, forced to wear the humiliating stripes of a convicted felon and made to submit to intrusive searches at the whim of his jailers. His resentment is apparent, but futile. They will have their way. 

 

Victim

It's even harder, out there on the streets. Danger lurks in every alleyway, and even a street-wise man can fall foul of what lurks there, waiting for an opportunity to sate its lust. 

 

Sportsman

 The sports field should be a place of refuge from the world's evils, a place of relaxing, healthy exercise. But even there, a muscular man is at risk. Teams bend the rules, ostensibly to be the winners, but no sporting triumph can beat the thrill of scoring in the goal that lies hidden in every opponent's shorts.

 

Locker Room Lollipop

As the Cop with his doughnut discovered, things that melt in the mouth can stoke an appetite for savoury treats. There's no shortage of men eager to give them instruction in the locker rooms. It's not only narcotics that get you hooked.

 

Fetish Date

The discipline of team sport is good preparation for the rigours and training for formal servitude. Every journey begins with the first step, but this hunk can scarcely have imagined where that lollipop and curiosity would lead him. 

Juicy Fruits

Temptation abounds in every profession. Stoked by unscrupulous employers who impose quick-release uniforms on their workers. They are designed to assert their power over them - and, by a happy coincidence, satisfy their tastes for eye candy of the masculine kind.  

 

Underwear Inspection in the Army

It's no different in the army. The uniform is prescribed and regularly inspected. Even a soldier's underwear is inspected periodically to make sure it is clean and without creases. The Sergeant thinks it helps with unit bonding.

Office Boss

Some Offices make their employees wear shorts. In this one, the roles are reversed on 'Dressing Down Friday', with the workers finding skimpy shorts for the Boss to wear and showing him what it's like to be the underling. It's all taken in good spirit usually but, as with any Office 'do', it's wiser to not drain his patience completely. 

 

 

Office Suspension

For those that go too far, there's Suspension Saturday. This happens quite often to employees who happen to be good-looking. They can't show their contrition by writing out lines, of course. Instead, the Boss comes in to see them when he thinks they've had enough and extracts whatever he wants from them on the spot.

 

Office Dicktation

Men with exceptional credentials and malleability may even get promoted to be the head honcho's PA. Their duties mainly involve looking hot when doing the filing and sitting on the bosses knee to take his dicktation. Little extras in their pay packets are their reward for allowing access to their play packets. There's also a bondage bonus if they have to stay late for 'over the knee' overtime. He doesn't take no for an answer. 

 

 

Office Primer

 Some new employees find this culture difficult to adjust to, but primer courses are helpfully provided for promising entrants. In the privacy of the medical centre, they are shown what will be expected of them and how to make the most profitable use of their natural abilities. They are also taught some unnatural ones that might come in useful, too. It's a hard and sweaty induction.

 

 

Milking Medic

The highly experienced medical staff are well-equipped to allay their patients' anxieties about the sometimes-invasive procedures. Their expertise always gets the best out of their charges, who leave exhausted and drained, but with happy memories. 

 

 

Office Restroom

 The pressures and tensions of such jobs are enough to drive any red-blooded male to seek respite in the restrooms. There they can find relief - if one of their equally-aroused colleagues doesn't find it for them first.

Hongd542 posts enormous quantities of art and surprisingly rude versions of his images at his Hongd542 Deviant Art site 

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.

Tom of Finland - Stable Boy (1985)

I've seen this described as Tom's best picture. 
There's an endearing feeling of nostalgia as Tom's musclebound cop (his 'alter ego'),
extends a hand to the younger generation, each dressed for their own era. It brings new meaning to grooming. Tom was 65 when he drew this and AIDS was at it's height, decimating the gay community, so it seems an appropriate gesture. Note the envious horse!
