Homoeros - Recent work (2025) - 3

Start from Part 1 of this series

 

 

'Tavern' sees a young man sucked into a world of wealth and power, and in this image the historical dress conveys that background very effectively. It's combined with a convincing setting, too. This is an age when those who fell from favour might face the axeman, so this grovelling submission is perfectly understandable.

 

This man, Dylan, is not faced by such an extreme a punishment, but the whipping post is bad enough. 

The kneeling position is unusual, but it works visually, introducing a sense of submission.

 

 

The rear view presented to the captor is even better.

 

 

I included a 'riding the wedge' image in Part 1 of this series, It simply showed the rider and by implication focussed on the physical and mental discomfort caused by the device. The introduction of a leather clad top here, surveying the captive, brings home his vulnerability to external interference. Indeed, the restraint arrangement offers him up to such mischief, and he looks quite apprehensive about it. His relative youth and sheer cuteness suggests an experience gap which is likely to be narrowed somewhat before too long. 

 This surprising sequel opens up another dimension to his initiation. The prospect his new visitors promise seems just as scary, judging by his face, but excitement still shows elsewhere. It looks as if he's got himself into a seriously leather, gender-neutral establishment, although the setting looks like an ordinary, nightclub, out of hours. 

It was these two images that prompted me to do a Part 3 of this review. 

 

Didn't that guy do something to me in that S&M Club last night?

Homoeros does a lot of vanilla studies. This one, showing a jogger's chance encounter in the woods, is rather nice. Love is in the air here, not fetish.

 

Two men, clad in black, commit another unfortunate to the cross.

This is a compelling image of the grim moment of truth.

 

 

 

The technician stills the condemned man by sitting on his chest.

Producing an incongruous moment of intimacy.

 

The helplessness of the spread-eagled captive is apparent here.

The outstretched arm is beyond his control

 

 

When they switch to deal with his feet,

it's another significant deprivation of any sense of freedom.

 

Then callously stroll away without a backwards look.

 

 

This device is more humane, a display spreader, according to the artist.

Would that were all it could be used for, the incumbent might wish.

 

 

  In a Police Station near you, another Hoodlum submits.

Deprived of his clothing, it might be a long night.

 

 

 

A casual encounter, the locking of eyes tells a story.

It's about wills and intents, as well as attraction.

 

 

 

 

But all is not what it seemed.

Perhaps he got what he wanted anyway.

But he might look more grateful.

 

 

 

'The Hostage' seems to have been put on display.

His sinewy muscle made useless by the simplest of bindings.

Nerone - Fast Drip 065

 

 Today's images are from Nerone's 'Fast Drip' series, it's an apt tag for this image.

There's a great sense of skin to skin contact and sexual tension.

His simple, black and white sketches are greatly enhanced by imaginative colouring 

 

 

 

 

 

Nerone - Fast Drip 056

 

This artist's characters often seem to be very clearly delineated as tops or subs,

 but for the avoidance of doubt, he's brought out the ropes here.
This image exists in another variant where the top is not bearded (below).

 

 

Nerone - Fast Drip 056 (clean-shaven)

 

The warm colours here enhance the sense of intimacy.

 

 

 

Nerone - Fast Drip 066

More delving into dark, moist places here, 

a lucky dip that's caused an element of surprise.

But if you must wear white underwear.....well...

 

Nerone - Fast Drip 089

 

 Snuggling from behind is enormously comforting,

 even though it leaves everything up front unprotected.

He's too busy to care about that, right now.

 

Nerone - Fast Drip 091

Sleepy lovers greet the day with closeness and warmth,

The sense of hairiness and bulk here is so masculine.

A two gun salute would seem to be in order next. 

 

 

Nerone - Fast Drip 104

 

There's more edge here, with a grip on the throat demanding submission.

The glimpse of boots and pants tell us this is men at play, acting out their fantasy.

 

 

Nerone - Fast Drip 114

 

Casual encounters are meat and drink (as it were) to gay men.  

The fallen pants here give some sense of the excitement of them.

There's normally no such thing as sub and dom in this situation, 

although you might attribute an ambition to top in the placing of the hand.

 

 

Nerone - Fast Drip 115

 

How different this encounter looks! 

There's a compelling sense of domination,

both in the gesture and the bulky build of the man in control.

But he isn't turned on that much it seems, it's power he craves.

Asking for a rise was never like this in my Office!

 

 

 

Nerone - Fast Drip 320

Hopefully this is just a token of submission, not the start of a protracted trial!

These images vary in quality, this is a good one. 

Nice characterisation, with Italian looks and a physique that looks real.

Notice that the ball looks compressed by the thumb.

Nerone - Fast Drip 351

Just a hint of apprehension. Maybe it's his first time.
The absence of leather paraphernalia might mean gentleness

 - or dangerous inexperience.

 

 

Nerone - Fast Drip 354

This rope-work is decidedly unprofessional.

An amateur DIY job? Unrequited longing to be tied up?

If you can help, please form an orderly queue

 

 

Nerone - Fast Drip 380

Just a pretty picture of an era gone by.

Leather Art by Nerone - 1

Nerone - CP1 Man Tied to a Chair

From Nerone's Perv Catechism Series:- featuring simple imagery, a refreshingly mature subject and a naughty, teasing glimpse of hairy undercarriage that makes you wonder what you are really looking at!

 

Nerone - CP3 Man Tied and Kneeling

 

Another, unvarnished visualisation of manhood with a tang of Tagame about it. 

The hint of socks makes his nudity more apparent, the kneeling an attempt to hide it.

 

 

Nerone - CP4 Man in Chastity and Chains

With his neatly trimmed hair and beard,

 this man seems to belong to the world of commerce rather than a dungeon. 

His hands are secured to a wall ring that would safely berth a Supertanker,

the padlock and manacles making the connection being equally emphatic. 

 

The chastity jock enclosing his tackle is no less compromising.

The design eliminates any chance of outside interference.

Except by the privileged holder of the key to that tiny padlock. 

 

 

Nerone - CP28 Man Subbing His Sub With Crop

Nerone's simple black and white, sketchy technique and the realism of his depiction of the participants disguises a very frank illustration of S&M applied to a sub's undercarriage.

 

 

Nerone - CP52 - Man Domination and Worship

 There's a nice sense of play in this image, with the 'sub' unresisting both to the gloved, hand-gag 

and also to the leverage on his body, exposing him to a 'vampire' kiss on the neck.

Art by Roman AI

"We have severe punishments for streakers, you know."

 

Front Facing Arrests are a standard AI-trope, but here's one with a difference. 

Roman authoritarianism, fab muscle hunk with spirit, in bondage, on the brink of nudity and nastiness.

What's not to like? 

 

"I'm naming you 'Anilingus'.
Serve me well and I will treat you well".

 AI struggles with humans in physical contact, so it's surprising that this simple expression of subjugation is not seen more often. The contrast between the muscular captive slave and his new owner, clearly refined and wealthy, is beautifully expressed. The hand he's using to emphasise his control is clever, shame it's drawn wrong. I know it's phallic, but surely there must be places in Rome that don't have a dome in the background.

 

 

"Lucky bastard! Things like that never happen to me"

And so say all of us! Official title is 'Locker Room Bully'. 

Using his own belt on him. Don't ask why. Great jeans too.

 

Now that's what I call humiliation

 

AI has brought the great gift of weather to fetish art creators.
The belt seems to think it's a crowbar, no wonder he's submitted to it!

 

 

 

"No good running off, Barton.
You'll still get your spanking in front of the others, next time"

Imagine! Barton's a hairy hunk, the others must be disappointed he's escaped temporarily.

Thank goodness someone put 'University' up on the wall to counteract the dubious age scenario.

 

"No, I'm Not Your New Valet, Signor.
The Godfathers Sent Me"

I love the wacky bath!

I imagine it having wheels and the hit man trundling it to the nearest balcony to be emptied.

The bather is in a fix since he's naked and worse might befall him if he jumps up.

Especially if he's been playing with himself under the water.

 

Gorgeous hairy pecs, clean too. Surely they're worth a temporary reprieve!

 

 

"Keep kissing, Luigi. Then it's the belt for you next.
No-one, but no-one, laughs at my clothes!"

 I'd keep stumm about the Teddy too, if I were you, Luigi. 

Otherwise, you might find yourself kissing below the belt.

It is decidedly odd garb for a locker room.

Oh, thank you, God. He does want help with his Project!

'This can't be happening' Department.

Right now, 'his' gaze suggests he's formulating a different, strictly ex-curriculum project.

In fact, it maybe that his 'problem' is not about his project at all, but something completely different!

I can't remember anyone like this at the educational establishments I attended.

I certainly never prayed to God about it, but each to his own.

The varied style of these images is refreshing.

 

 

 

"Cheer Up Spunkimus!
It's Not The End of The World!"

I suppose you're meant to imagine a poignant parting or doomed lovers. 

Great apocalyptic imagery and nice warm colours appropriately enough. 

Have you noticed how everyone always seems to be going in the opposite direction?

"OK, OK, Smartimus, So I Was Wrong.
But We Still Have Each Other."

Looks like a cruise ship just docked, carrying the undead.

Fortunately, they will all be gone in an hour (max).

These two should charge admission, that should get them back on their feet.

 

 

 AI art has its detractors. It's too prolific, lacking in individual identity, can't fit humans' together, physically or psychologically, and hasn't a clue how eyes look or work (the most important part of human identity by a mile). It's incapable of seeing a complete image as a human sees it, but has to be told that half a train does not exist in the real world. At one point, it didn't even differentiate human backs from their fronts. Worst of all, it's totally sexless, it's programmed to be so thanks to our pathetic, lowest common denominator, corporate driven society (the only plus point for Mr Musk, although I'm increasingly convinced he has his own brand of censorship lurking in his muddy depths). AI can only produce something vaguely sexy if instructed, and cascading cum is not sexy, sorry! However, it is capable of turning out some beautiful imagery at chocolate box, schmaltz level and occasionally, very occasionally it comes up with something totally original and wacky that makes a jolly good picture, sexy or otherwise.

Roman AI is one of those surfing the internet wave, and he has produced some interesting images (many of which look a lot like other producer's images). But never mind, this listing isn't an award for being better or totally original, but just having been in the right place with the right stuff to catch my eye. To be fair, he does introduce a degree of individuality by varying his style, but it's what he asks his AI engine to illustrate that qualifies him for a mention here.
