Art by Dragontattoo

Futuristic Space Pilot

I have always thought close fitting Astronaut suits with wide open necks that accommodate globe-shaped helmets make a sexy combination. Dragontattoo takes a completely different direction with this naked, muscular, Space Pilot. His idea for an erotic component of the life support system seems equally unconventional and on the face of it more likely to distract the Pilot than enhance his performance. The girth of these fittings is testament to the qualities expected of space men in this era. There's a splendid curved line uniting the front and rear fittings.


Battle Deck (Spaceship)

Sexual excitement seems to be the driving force behind this Spaceship's combat capability. One can readily understand the latent power of that, if not the means by which it is being harnessed. The whole crew are giving their all here with the man in the background somehow managing to direct it against the enemy, despite the distractions around him.
 

Martian Lab Rat

These frantic efforts at sexual distraction are understandable in the light of the electrifying fate that befalls those captured by the Martians. This image gives a new meaning to 'turning up the juice'. The green men must appreciate their victims arriving already undressed and in a febrile state.


Space Driver 2

This variation on the Space Piloting arrangement keeps the frontal draining arrangement discreetly hidden and puts the 'driver' in a more dynamic pose, like an athlete in the starting blocks. One wonders what purpose the tube attached to the face mask has!


Cum Buster

This image transforms the piloting console into an entertainment arrangement. It's not explicitly linked to the other space images, except by the boots and goggles but it's easy to image the Space troopers turning to this machine after a heavy turn of duty thrusting in the cockpit. I'm assuming the machine only rewards them if they score a kill. It's intriguing how they have to be strapped into these devices. It must give quite a heady experience! 


Gay Space

Thankfully the guys can still get together in the old fashioned way. Nothing beats the wonderful warmth of enclosing human flesh.  No kissing though!

More Art by Rent-A-Dude

 Read Part 1 of this mitchmen post on Rent-A-Dude's encasement art


Rent -A-Dude - Statue 25

Trapping men in a glass container is a well-trodden path in gay erotic art.
Often it's for brain-washing or milking purposes.
This variation seems to involve some kind of hi-tech gold plating process too
Luckily it doesn't involve immersion in a bath of chemicals. 
A small compensation though, for being turned into a statue.


Rent -A-Dude - Statue 90

Clear perspex or resin is a perfect encasement medium for display. 
The setting time here is clearly short enough to prevent escape
but slow enough to catch and preserve that last frantic lunge.


Rent -A-Dude - Bot 58

An unconscious male subject is laid out on a bare metal table
for examination by semi-organic, robotic arms prior to his bot 'transformation'.
You might think those feelers look as if they are burrowing inside him.
I couldn't possibly comment!


Rent -A-Dude - Bot 64

That sense of disturbing processes going on continues here
with more conventional technology and scalpel wielding arms this time.
What's more the subject is awake and aware.
A predicament that's not for the faint-hearted.


Rent -A-Dude - Bot 68

If you are not aware of Rent-A-Dude's male-transformation agenda, this looks like a clumsy alien assessment programme is in progress on an unfortunate astronaut or abductee from earth.
However creating a bot poses issues of accommodating and integrating the robotics 
This installation seems to involve a somewhat perverse brand of keyhole engineering


Rent -A-Dude - Bot 79

This scanner technology skirts round the practicalities in favour of unfathomable tech wizardry.
Seemingly it's capable of brain re-programming to adapt the human to his new purpose.
The contribution of the impressive circuitry in the arches and bed is less obvious.
This device would not have looked out of place in a 50's Marvel comic.


Rent -A-Dude - Bot 91

It looks as if an entire crew of a spaceship is being processed here.
It's only their bodies being processed, by a similar non-contact transformation technology.
Their individual containment is erotic in it's own right
They don't seem unhappy about it!



Rent -A-Dude - Doll 05

Rent-A-Dude revisits his encasement techniques in the 'Toy' series.
The medium looks like latex but it becomes rigid plastic as it suddenly 'cures'.
It looks like you can use it in your own home and it doesn't stick to upholstery.
Spray-on plastic would be ideal for restraining an unruly boyfriend, 
or detaining the cute workman who came to fix the leak.
But only if you get him to take his clothes off first!



Rent -A-Dude - Doll 37

This image visualises total encasement within a mannequin.
A perfectly fitting outer skin that includes a new head.
I suppose the last detail is to throw the Police off the scent 
if they come looking for that handsome jogger who disappeared nearby


Rent -A-Dude - Doll 42

It's nice to have, but what can you do with such a doll?
Put him it on display of course.

These images are ca 2010 and I have note in my records suggesting the artist may be 'Brian'
No links I'm afraid. The web site referenced in these pictures no longer exists and I can't find the name in search engines (which isn't unusual these days with old material, sadly)

Art inspired by Fallout 4 - 1 Bodywork


The artwork in this article was inspired by the computer game Fallout 4 which is set in a post-apocalyptic world. The game surrounds a survivor of the devastation in search of his abducted child and vengeance for a murdered wife. So far, so clichéd and oh so hetero, but the styling of the official game artwork (above and below) featuring blue, ass-revealing uniforms has inspired a great deal of homo-erotic fan art.


Another feature of the game which has driven much gay creativity was the Power Armour which could be used for especially difficult tasks and protection in hostile environments i.e. Fallout from the holocaust.
 

Naurdor - Bernard, The Engineer

Naurdor's splendid re-imagining of the armour here has a gloriously steam-punk feel, reflecting the fact that the only men still capable of servicing these monstrous gadgets are quirky, old-fashioned engineers like Bernard here. 


SavrenX - Power Armour

This contribution by SavrenX demonstrates the sheer bulk of the outfit. 
How can a man still look sexy in all that gear?
Note the sinister mist.


Iamnotavirgin - Power Armour 1

The bulky armour also inspired this more fanciful imagining from Iamnotavirgin. 
His catwalk-style modelling pays tribute to the versatility of the armour's power system. 

The breast plate here does not quite cover the warrior's pecs - admittedly they would need a lot of covering up - but it looks like his muscles are out-growing the armour. Maybe that's down to mutations wrought by the radiation and pollution (hinted at here by the pink sky).

We also discover (unsurprisingly) that it's sensible to wear as little clothing as possible underneath the armour.  Even in this bikini combo you can see he's sweating profusely. He's wisely retained the armoured jock plate and I'm sure the knee pads will come in useful too.


Iamnotavirgin - Power Armour 2

Seen from the rear the coverage is even more sparse, 
The thong avoids VPL when he's in his tight blue uniform (see top picture).

.

SavrenX - Dwarfed by his Armour

SavrenX shows a man dwarfed by his armour. 
The wry logo on it's breast plate pops up periodically in this art. 
A black joke on the disaster that has befallen this world. 

The under-armour gear is shown as a lightweight alternative - helmet and jock essentially, 
plus the essential impedimenta of soldiering - harness, gun belt, gloves and boots.


Sit - Personal Protection

Both SavrenX (above) and Sit (here) show men wearing astronaut helmets.
They give protection from the sometimes poisonous nature of the atmosphere
evidenced here by a pea-souper hue. 

Apparently bare skin offers adequate protection from the gloopy stuff on his arm,
It seems to permeate the air here and deposit itself on passers by. 
Perhaps it's that substance that has eaten away his suit.


Sit - A Clear Day

If so it's been highly effective.
I've always thought Astronaut helmets look sexy.
Pairing them with a metal groin protector is inspired.

Even this world looks a better place on a clear day,
But walking to the pub must be pretty depressing.


Sit - An Evening in the Bar 1

But when you get there, this happens!
This world is populated by some very odd characters.


Sit - An Evening in the Bar 2

I'm not sure if this Military/Chippendale combination counts as mutation.
But there's something quite sinister about this character in his shades and peaked cap.


Sit - An Evening in the Bar 1


The reveal when he jettisons his jock does not dispel that strange feeling.
Submissive-Aggressive? Or just up front and open?
The gleaming highlights are quite clever.
Suggestive of magical properties.



These pictures were found on a Fallout 4 artists forum.

The Muscle Art of Stefan

I only have two posts at this blog reviewing body-builder photo-morphs - IFNB (2018) and 'Built By Tall Steve' (2017) but they are amongst the most popular articles here. Back in the mid 2000's the artist 'Stefan' was experimenting with similar ideas, putting beefy posers into richly erotic situations and clothing them in costumes that were skimpy to the point of downright rudeness. 

Stefan - Out and About
I love this image showing a mature and highly masculine-looking man squeezing himself into a sexy, near-transparent G-string on the beach and finding himself being observed by two younger muscle guys who are more conventionally dressed and watch him with serious, enigmatic faces. 
It's as though they are shocked and he himself is embarrassed by his desire to be an exhibitionist.   

Stefan - Check This!

Body builders are exhibitionists almost by definition and not necessarily modest in this day and age. 
Many flirt with the audience on stage wearing skimpy costumes made from exotic, glamorous materials.
Stefan's take on that imagines a smug-looking competitor showing-off the daunting girth of his love muscle as well, which matches the meaty bulk of the rest of his body. It seems as if there might be an equally impressive length dimension, but it's held back, compressed even, by the material of his G-string. Not quite enough to fully cover the root, however, leaving one to imagine a concertina-like expansion on release.

Stefan - Dream Ass

In this picture the overall bulk of the competitor's body is emphasised rather than his muscle detail.
Stefan re-imagines this chunky man in a backless thong with sexy side-strings which seem to cry out for a fan to creep in from the wings and give them a sharp tug to see what will spring out.

The garment gives extra exposure to the impressive gluteal development mentioned in the title.
It's front pouch looks tiny by comparison and is even cut away at the sides for added (revealing!) brevity.
It's rubbery look and bulbous, rounded shape give an impression of serious containment.

Stefan - Beach Routine
This man's garment is reduced further to condom-like proportions, with a serious risk of side-spillage.
That concern seems to be reflected in the beach hunk's face and inhibiting his outdoors work-out.
Dismayingly, his exercise excitement has lifted the pouch away from his body, giving a glimpse of an abdomen area which is normally hidden behind it. It's a very sexy moment.

Stefan - Come Closer

Despite the near-nakedness of body builder displays, they are normally safely separated from their admirers by a stage or a camera, set apart like the Gods of masculinity they hope they truly are.
The caption suggests the muscle man is drawing in the camera (which is the principal channel for the love affair with the fans) so that he might be admired in intimate close up. The skimpy, root-revealing Gee-string is clearly not excluded from that invite.

The image suggests an appealing desire to loved by the multitude of faceless followers, coupled with the equally attractive confidence to permit it and enjoy it. A slightly different take on the voyeuristic, adoring relationship between body-builders and their fans.
~
There is an alternative reading of this image, equally evocative to those of a 'mitchmen' turn of mind. You can imagine this exceptionally bulky, gym fanatic looking down at the tiny pouch, perhaps not quite realising just how inadequate it actually is, and exclaiming "do I really have to wear this thing?"

The camera man of course has a repertoire of persuasive arguments to quell any real rebellion.
Controlling a strong man for pervy pictures by manipulating his vanity is perhaps a more exciting challenge than getting models (who really need the money) to reveal more than they intended.

Stefan - Teaser


This man has a very nice body indeed, with beautiful proportions and competition-standard muscularity, mellowed by a modest layer of fattiness that sensualises the skin texture by concealing the veiny, gritty detail deemed essential by true BB enthusiasts. Set against this perfection, the prodigious bulk of his poorly-hidden cock is almost shocking, the elephant in the room you might say.

   Stefan's title here seems to suggest that these hunky chaps are deliberately being provocative when posing, as though their desire to be admired is not fully fulfilled by their success in developing their bodies. Simply by substituting minimalist posing outfits for the more conventional clothing he draws attention to a hidden vein of earthier needs. In this particular image Stefan cleverly dips the top line of the pouch just that little bit further to give the bearer generous credit for his good fortune in the reproductive department and a warning to would-be beneficiaries.


Stefan - Muscle 21

In this delicious image he even conjectures a desire to shock and intimidate the other competitors.
Challenging by example their courage to go the extra mile (or extra inches perhaps I should say).

He's also intimidating them with the possibility that the judges might be tempted to add that final, crowning part of the male body to their Competition marking sheets (a la IFNB). In which case they might be found wanting in comparison with the mighty beast flaunting himself in front of them.

Competitor 104 certainly looks as though that thought might be in his head.
Number 108 already looks a no-hoper in that department, and seems genuinely impressed,
perhaps he's thinking about accepting a different sort of challenge.
 
Stefan - Untitled
Stefan is adept a choosing evocative images to manipulate - not just ones showing a man with a great body, but ones that catch a sense of personality or here a reaction to a significant moment.

This hardy character has entered the gym dressed in a typical Stefan gee-string of fairly conventional design but made of a lycra-like material that leaves nothing to the imagination. At least it doesn't now after a few vigorous exercises have got the blood flowing and sweat pores open.

It's a garment that would create a stir in the average gym at the best of times, although you can see in the background that trunks are acceptable here. I suspect our hunk might have gone too far with this little number and has been approached by a member of staff or fellow user who is unhappy about it offending other users or leading to unacceptable soiling of the apparatus.

Thus we get the image of a mature man of intimidating proportions looking cowed like a schoolboy as he is being told off for wearing gear more appropriate for someone half his age. At any rate his face and the out-of-balance pose suggests he's being told something he doesn't like and is at that delicate moment when he has to decide whether to accept gracefully and retire in humiliation or erupt in a bullying, steroid fit of anger.

Of course the explanation may be more prosaic. The next user asking him to get a move on or an admirer asking how he gets that lower body definition, or a lurker asking if he can buy his pants.


Stefan - Get Ready
This is a slightly softer variation of the themes we have seen above. The body-builder seems to be preparing to remove his pouch for the photographer to record evidence of his amazing dimensions. His look of concentration and fumbling is sweet, he's human underneath all the muscle tissue.

The photographer is already poised for his shot as though wary that the moment of exposure may be too fleeting. After all, the beach is deserted at the moment, but this modest chap might be spooked if any dirty old men or jealous body-builders notice what's going on and close in for a better look.

Stefan - Soviet Spaceman
Stefan's flair for putting real naked men into interesting and sexy fantasy situations finds a rather more artistic expression in this image combining a beefcake pose from the sixties with iconography relating to the great scientific adventures of that era. I'm pretty sure that body and sexy posing pouch (which has not been altered) belongs to the great Vic Siepke. The face does not however and it's possible it belongs to a real Russian astronaut. They briefly enjoyed the status of global, heroic pin-up celebrity in that era, although it's hard to believe such a thing could ever have happened now.

Deconstruction of uniforms and working gear usually yields sexy results and I have a weakness for sexy astronauts and their discipline myself. It's no surprise to see Stefan pairing astronaut kit with one of the briefest, legal Gee-strings ever seen. However in doing so he's making a quite profound connection between being gay (in an era of oppression) and having - and achieving- the highest human aspirations. It's not clear whether he's elaborating on that and encouraging young gay aspirants or cocking a snoop at the whole idea by putting a toy rocket into the  cosmonaut's hand.

You get a glimpse in this image of Stefan's wider abilities in artistry, design and style and I will explore this further in another article soon.


 This image doesn't have Stefan's signature and it's more grainy than his usual style, but it's a neat postscript, drawing on the same themes, arguably more emphatically. This body-builder seems to be hot with embarrassment and almost on the verge of tears as he struts his stuff in incredibly revealing posing briefs before an enthusiastic audience of men and women. The artist has tweaked his facial features to create a slightly awkward, geeky effect although the models chin, lips and nose are actually very sensually shaped. This has the side benefit of obscuring the identity of the original model, which is probably for the best.

Reinaldo Angra
I'm not sure if this is a morph at all, the model's endowment seems too modest for that
(although miniaturising is a sexy joke an artist might play on a muscle head).
His smooth, shaved abdomen accentuates the diminution, but real or not I find it sexy.

The slightly out-of- focus effect suggests some age for this photo 
but I can't find any trace of the model under the name given in the image details.
