AI Art by Pelonjefe 3

 Previously:- Beach Bullies by Pelonjefe


In this article, a look at other sports and interests
with power play bias. 
 
Locker Room Hierarchy by pelonjefe
 
  This somewhat comical, little vignette, expresses the idea of power and submission more directly than other works by this artist, rather bluntly in fact. It's all the more powerful in that the stature of the participants seems so evenly matched, on the face of it. This isn't a man dominating a boy. On top of that, the artist has persuaded AI to sail within a gnat's whisker of being explicit.

Pelojefe - Jock Hog Tied

Probably just a team jape after an evening training session, 
but training alone late at night leaves a guy open to all sorts 
....no need to shower tonight then!
 
Be sure to look at the Jockstrap Reveal variant
it's bizarre, silly but sexy.
 
Pelonjefe - By My Balls
 
This handsome young man is the best of Pelonjefe's bound jocks for me. Quite apart from his looks, the bondage is so neat and economical. And that backside...what can I say? 
 
This image is the basis for a number of light-hearted videoettes, with tweaks to the visuals and dialogue, try 'Costly Arrogance
 

Pelonjefe - I Felt Something Move Down There (1)

This item is something completely different. A young man is tying up the locker room hunk, a role reversal apparently, but we can't really tell how the hunk feels about it. 
 
The video (below) actually makes a decent fist of showing the ropes being tied, they usually magically appear in AI sketches. To be fair, conventional video makers are not that good at it either, some show every fumbling knot and laborious feeding through of very long ropes, others just leave it out altogether. 
 
Pelonjefe - I Felt Something Move Down There (2)

Midway through the action, the hunk, looks furtively aside and then, in a whisper, reveals his secret feelings. His partner proceeds to do a bit of feeling of his own - but blink and you'll miss it!

Pelonjefe - Brad becomes Bound Muscle

 The saga of Daniel and Brad revolves around a TV gambling game where the highly successful Brad loses everything he has to his incompetent landscaper, Daniel. The only way he can avoid being thrown out of his own house, onto the streets, is by reversing roles. 
 
Daniel humiliates him. As well as maintaining the grounds, he makes Brad his plaything in his 'free' time. Here he's being used for Daniel's shibari practice. His hairy muscular body is an ideal subject for it. His humiliation is documented at some length.
 
Pelonjefe - Stay

Hairy muscle in bondage is the subject of another video, 'Stay'. There's a jungle setting with a roaring fire right behind the captive suggesting that unpleasantness lays in store for him. The video follows his realisation of capture, anger and submission, but it's the movement of his struggling body that supplies the sexy entertainment. A sort of theme and variations.
Watch 'Stay' and a selection of stills
 
Pelonjefe - Ropes of Desire

Pelonjefe's refreshing attention to big, hairy men extends to more mature models too with this unusual, retro-styled, bondage duo. They don't look as if they are delighted about being tied tightly together, stark naked and crotch to crotch. Complete strangers perhaps, selected at random and manipulated into this predicament. 
 
The passage of time might change things, as they get used to feeling the unwavering, warm, furry pressure of their partner against them. It would be interesting to observe what happens when they wake after a night spent tied together like this. Older men still get early morning woods!
 
Pelonjefe - Come Closer, I'm Yours
 
This artist does not neglect younger man in his exploration of bondage imagery. This complex upper body harness doesn't seem to have subdued this one's self-assurance and bravado. He's dripping with water and other variations of this image reveal a shower head just above, so you could read this as residual defiance after a sudden deluge has dampened his arrogance.
 
 
Pelonjefe - The King's Taxes Are Due

The power of beautiful young men to ruthlessly command their elders is caricatured in this fantasy, with a grotesquely emaciated slave kneeling before a sovereign who flaunts his body shamelessly before him. His ragged loincloth suggests he is not total obsessed with wealth and the finer things that his position in life grants him. Rather that he will accept his taxes in various currencies. 
 
Naked men with headgear can often look ridiculous (as in my Ministry of Silly Hats series) but this crown doesn't look silly at all (unless I'm getting old!). It bestows immunity and power on the wearer in this scenario, which enables him to do as he pleases. For as long as he is young anyway. Present day Royalty presents a wonderful demonstration of the ultimate folly of such hubris. 
 
 
Pelonjefe - New Boy - Obedience Training

 There is certain natural order in life that a young man can benefit from when he's old enough, and it readily asserts itself in gay erotic imagery. 
Having a collar put on symbolises this man's submission to a master who will train him in his particular discipline.
 
 There's a recurring motto in this artist's work, "Obedience is new to you, but I will help you get it right" and it's not only directed at young men as Brad discovers when he falls under the control of Daniel (above).
 
 
Pelonjefe - New Boy Lessons

 As well as learning from his master's skills and experience, in exchange for compliance and submission, the acolyte benefits from a certain closeness and intimacy and the joy of being valued, by a man who he can admire.
 
 

  

Pelonjefe - Truth or Dare

The boys in this piece turn the tables on an older man 
in this joyous piece. He 'playfully' soaks their tighty-whiteys with his hose, (presumably he's the janitor hosing down the pool area). Then he teases them with a 'truth or dare' challenge to do press-ups. I have to say, their press-ups are not impressive, but the Janitor seems quite satisfied. I imagine he is more interested in looking at their wet backsides. However, these dumb jocks are cuter than he thinks. Watch 'Truth or Dare'
 
 
Pelonjefe - Sun's Out, Buns Out

This artist also has a romantic side of course, with this relaxed, idyllic scene. Luckily for this hunk, this artist doesn't do spankings - or underwater monsters!

Miloinvinculis - The Strange Disappearance of Patrol 27


 Eight Men and their Sergeant went out on patrol,
but none returned, and no trace of them was ever found.

Except for nine uniforms, complete with underwear,
piled up in a clearing, deep in the forest 

 

Miloinvinculis - Peat Bog Sacrifice

The Art of Uruonurun - 2

 Read Part 1 of this post

Uruonurun - Ninja 02

Uruonurun's 'Ninja' series depicts the capture of a young warrior by two determined-looking men. Ninjas are men to be feared but they strip him of the ceremonial clothing that defines his calling and hides his identity. He's revealed as a man like any other man, dressed only in a curious shirt of net-like material and a scanty loincloth, his 'Fundoshi'. Then, as if to mock him, they tie him up, shibari-style. with one leg raised and doubled back, the other stretched out behind, suspending him in that, uncomfortable, position. In Western eyes this pose suggests a mythical hero (or his modern day, 'super' equivalent) about to take flight. This man is going nowhere. His tight loincloth gleams as though it is wet and the outline revealed betrays feelings that do not entirely chime with the embarrassed, angry look on the humbled Ninja's face.  

The characterisation of the two 'villains' here is contrasting. One is portrayed like a malevolent, uncouth torturer - overweight, masked and scantily dressed - the latter a device to intimidate the captive but also to protect his clothing from any mess as he goes about his unpleasant task. His pleasure as he tightens the ropes on the protesting captive is evident in his face and even more so further down. 

By contrast, the other captor appears cultured and well dressed, a person of some standing - he might even be the Ninja's mentor, training him to be more resilient. However, what we can see of his face suggests dark intentions indeed. The only clue to his inner feelings is his hand, resting on top of the captive's tensed thigh, emphasising his control and maybe something more. 


Uruonurun - Ninja 06

If this is simply about training, it's going to be tough indeed for the young acolyte. The rope man has revised his restraint to incorporate the highly decorative, repeating diamond pattern (hishi), running from the neck down to the crotch. But it's not just decorative, when tightened up, it's compressive, restricting the captive's breathing. 

Red wax drips from candles, ceremoniously suspended above and around the Ninja, it stings his skin with an intensity determined by the melting point of the wax (red has a wicked reputation) and the distance it has to fall. It solidifies on contact, cooling into blobs that remain attached to his skin and mar his beauty after the pain has passed. 

The captive has also been seated astride a wooden 'wedge' or horse, which mocks his pretensions to the status of a Samurai. It will increasingly torment his groin with the passage of time, especially if his feet have been weighted down. (Don't try it at home!)

In the face of all these challenges, the Ninja's torso cascades with perspiration 
his pouch is translucent with spilling desire.

A number of posts at mitchmen blog feature the 'wedge', 
click on the label 'Riding The Wedge' at the foot of this post to view them


Uruonurun - Bandana Ryoushi 08

Uruonurun reaches back into Japanese artistic tradition for this group of images showing a fisherman menaced by a giant octopus that he has unwittingly caught in his net. Although he's still clinging onto the net ropes here, it's obvious the octopus must have climbed aboard under it's own steam. One of it's tentacles is draped over Ryoushi's* knee (compare with the top image). The remains of the net encircling the creature seem to have assumed the shape of a bikini pouch, as though attributing human characteristics to it (in that particular department anyway).

Notice the artful, traditional styling of the water, now calm. 
Ryoushi is a well-known anime character, bandana is as in English 


Uruonurun - Bandana Ryoushi 09

The creature's tentacles turn out to be surprisingly dextrous. It's able to undo the fisherman's trouser flies which part to reveal a interesting shape in his underwear. Another tentacle slides inside his tank-top vest. The fisherman, we can see is exceptionally well-muscled underneath. Perhaps he did haul the octopus aboard after all! He responds to the creature's groping with red-faced surprise, embarrassment and a certain amount of trepidation.


Uruonurun - Bandana Ryoushi 12

In the images that follow, all of Ryoushi clothes (except his bandana, gloves and boots) are removed by the creature. At any rate they all disappear. It's tentacles become increasingly intimate.

This sexual intimacy parallels the famous artwork of 'The Dream of The Fisherman's Wife', but the narrative of Uruonurun's picture is almost the exact opposite, this is not a subconscious fantasy but a real assault that appears to be entirely unwelcome. It's not a dream, it's a nightmare.


Uruonurun - Bandana Ryoushi 16

The nightmare deepens as the creature completely entwines the naked fisherman with it's tentacles, lifting him up but still holding on to his dick (now spent). This raises the terrible possibility that it intends to return to the sea (as eventually it must) but taking the terrified Ryoushi with it. In the final image of the series however the creature seems to dissolve away as though it really has been just a dream. There's a similar conclusion to the 'Hero's End' in Part 1 of this post.

There are many other posts at mitchmen that depict Octopi capturing men, it's a branch of the tentacle genre, but usually carries more menacing overtones because of the well known strength of the creature and the risk of drowning for those that cavort with them.


Uruonurun - Omawari-San 02

This cheery fellow is an Uniformed Officer of some sort, possibly a policeman. The imagery that follows suggests this is the case, but the happy, relaxed pose here does not conjure up the law enforcement aspect of that role. 


Uruonurun - Omawari-San 03

The artist shows the cop to us in various states of undress. This is one of the most interesting, conjuring up the sense of a very physical man, despite the wide eyes which seem to belong to someone much younger - and more naïve.


Uruonurun - Omawari-San 10

This image shows him with an erotic awareness and confidence that is endearing. 
The dissolving table is (I think) an augury of the nightmare that is about to descend
 on this inoffensive young man.


Uruonurun - Omawari-San 22

In the sequence that follows the Officer is taken prisoner by two hooded criminals. He is beaten and given a full lesson in dark desires. The dramatic picture above showing him suspended in shibari ropework is the culmination of the incident and best image in the set. The others are to graphic for this blog but you should have no problem finding them via the links below.


Uruonurun - Shoubou-san (Fireman) 02

All the series mentioned previously in this post consist of 4 or so images which are subjected to variations to create a storyline in which the main character is confronted with challenges from a variety of other beings. The Fireman, has a simpler storyline - a single character subjected to bondage and clothes removal by an unseen captor. This image shows him in full rescue regalia, hard at work, strapped up and training with ropes. He's a picture of manliness, grit and determination. Confidence bordering on arrogance.

Uruonurun - Shoubou-san (Fireman) 03

The artist re-imagines this hero without his trousers on. His projection of manliness is undiminished, rather, his shorts bulge with excitement. The seams of his underpants seem to simulate his loins being trapped in complex, shibari ropework. This strip sequence continues to nudity.

 
Uruonurun - Shoubou-san (Fireman) 09

 In the second sequence we see him gagged and and tape-bound, hot from an incendiary incident with all his rescue kit on - overalls, boots and harness. His cocky confidence seems to have drained away, replaced by puzzlement as he sees the array of strange items around him. Equipment that is foreign to him, more suited to starting fires rather than extinguishing them.


Uruonurun - Shoubou-san (Fireman) 10

The Fireman is a modern day successor to the Sailor and Cowboy of yesteryear in the pantheon of homoerotic iconography and the tight-fitting, blue T-shirt, showing off his musculature and usually sporting a professional badge is perhaps the most indispensable element of his signature outfit. Our captive's manly frame seems to be well up to the task of filling it.


Uruonurun - Shoubou-san (Fireman) 11

His clothes melt away demonstrating that the muscularity beneath them is genuine.
Classic white underwear is all that remains. It projects through the strapping of his harness.
It's as if the wearer is dimly aware of what those strange items represent.


Uruonurun - Shoubou-san (Fireman) 13

His captor eliminates his underpants and demonstrates the kit to him.
Plastic discs cup his muscular pecs, his nipples begin to tingle.
Seven blue balls (coloured to match his shirt) are squeezed inside him, 
one after another, they accumulate inside, packing his ass.
By then his hose is ready, nay eager, to slide into the lubricated sleeve.
He gives himself up to heavy breathing and ecstasy.


Uruonurun - Shoubou-san (Fireman) 17

When next we see him he is completely naked.
All the clothing and gear that represented his proud profession are gone.
The restraining tapes have also disappeared, no longer needed.
He's a different animal now, focussed on the fiery pleasures of the flesh.

Art by Catweazle 2

Read Part 1 of this posting

Catweazle - Cables

 Whilst Catweazle's forte is for muscular heroes fighting scary, mutant creatures in fantastic worlds, he does venture into other areas and this is a fairly logical extension with humanoid aliens tormenting a muscle man in their laboratory. The scantily clad, hairy captive is hooked up with cables which are monitoring - or possibly 'stimulating' him. There's also a selection of other, highly original devices encircling him whose purpose is not clear. The skirt-like device around his lower leg is particularly intriguing. He looks resigned to his fate, but not particularly comfortable with it.  

The aliens meanwhile look excited by him and seem to be dying to get their hands on him, 
although they seem to lack sexual organs as we know them (Jim). 


Catweazle - Shark Attack

The artist uses the same pose to startlingly different effect here, with the captive facing a more obvious menace lurking in the water around his lower body and completely unable to defend himself. The title implies that the lurking is about to become something much worse. The captive looks suitably terrified.  By some accident of fate, the floodwaters are discreetly covering up his fishing tackle, but in the sexiest way possible, leaving just enough pubic hair showing to stir the imagination of on-lookers.

Quite how he came to be chained up naked in this flooded, ancient cellar is unknown, likewise how the cellar came to be flooded, let alone how the floodwater came to be shark infested. It's as if some catastrophic, geophysical event occurred after the captive was parked here. 
Now it seems he's about to become beyond rescuing. 

This simple image knocks those AI one-handers, oozing with shiny hunkiness, into a cocked hat, 
although on reflection 'one-hander' is perhaps not the best term to use in this context.


Catweazle - Streetfighters in the Rain

This image is standard rendering fare but the star fighter looks pretty cute and is sexily attired. The addition of rain adds a more unusual ingredient although, sadly, the artist passes up a golden opportunity to show us more of what's hidden in those wet pants, just a hint of a bump is all we get. The bent back, falling pose is sexy in it's own right, however and it fits into the arch of the kicker's open legs in a way that is interesting, not just in artistic terms but it's also erotically suggestive. 
The crazily angled wall accentuates the drama.  


Catweazle - Fistfighter iv

This is also a fairly commonplace fight image, but combination of muscles, military garb and cute characterisations is appealing. Catweazle has angled the viewpoint nicely to suggest a close quarters struggle and convincing impact. The swampy background (promising more wetness) gives the feel of a jungle with all it's mysterious dangers, but it's not completely successful. It feels like they ought to be splashing around a bit.


Catweazle - Man Beats Monster

This image is so wacky that it deserves more than to be treated as just another 'man and monster' image. The technique is different too, that's a real photograph (of the man, not the monster) and the blending of the two styles is excellent. Nice, low-slung jeans too. Maybe that's what distracted the monster, leaving him open to the sucker punch. (Would be sucker?)

Catweazle - Geiger 5

This is a great image, a beguiling marriage of muscle, allure and sensitivity, of crude strength and artistic delicacy. The Chippendale-esque garb is cleverly toned down, no sparkle, just pure black and white. That gives the man an air of distinction whilst showcasing his essential masculinity. His tousled hair adds a touch of artistic wildness. The violin keeps his hands fully occupied, well away from his discreet, black briefs which tantalise us with their lack of detail but do highlight his bulging thighs. 
This is pure render but the muscles have a nice naturalism.


Catweazle - Pergola Musician 2

   Here the violinist is juxtaposed against two women, entertaining them and teasing them with his physique.  I mentioned in Part 1 of this article how Catweazle uses women in his pictures without letting them take over. The narrative seems to suggest that the musician is at their disposal, providing a service, but there is no sense that they are in control.  Instead they seem mesmerised by him. He is the centre of interest, relegating them to the role of desperate housewives.


Catweazle - Like Gaultier.

Here he's transformed the woman into a predator, inverting the traditional roles and fulfilling the fantasy of many who  have seen Gaultier's, homoerotic TV ads. She is overwhelming the bare top sailor with her lust and in this close proximity she can hardly fail to notice his sexual response, whatever it is. 

It's sexy for us, but it's far from clear that he likes being bent back over a top rail that looks like a cheese cutter. He doesn't seem to be reciprocating with his hands either. It's as if reality has suddenly intruded into the fantasy. Like the violinist, he has a job to do, and a position to protect on the ship. There's an appealing kindness of spirit in what seems like patient tolerance. Would it seem the same if the woman was replaced by another man? Perhaps not.

If this was produced by an overtly gay artist I'd say the post immediately beneath the sailor's backside is an deliberate indication of what he'd really like to have at this moment, but I sense that Catweazle doesn't think like that!



Catweazle - The New Slave

In this picture the male is reduced further to being the helpless captive of a seemingly powerful woman. However, she seems to be in awe of her new acquisition, adopting an alluring 'come and get me' stance. Rather than dominating him, she's dressed to kill as if she is the one in need of him. Even the dragons seem to defer to the man, even though he's naked and kneeling submissively before them in his fetters. One of them even dips his head to lick his body, like a pet dog making friends.

Catweazle seems to be illustrating the very traditional idea that a woman's power emanates from her sexual allure and like The Harpie in Part 1 of this series, having power over a man is motivated by lust for his cock. Even in captivity, this man wields the power and it produces an image that is unexpectedly homoerotic. Compare this image with with 'After Work'


Catweazle - Through The Swamp

To be fair to Catweazle, he does also portray men as the hapless helpmates of strong women. The man might even be her slave here, judging by the disparity of dress between them. If so, she must have very strong control over him to be able to trust him with a sword. 

In this nice atmospheric picture, he looks very sexy in his loincloth. This swamp creature has good taste. Could he turn out to be a stud under a spell who only needs a special touch from a hunky man to regain his human form and beauty?



Catweazle - Planet of the Apes 2f

There's a much more powerful sense here of the man being subservient to his captor ,who looms above him, militarily impassive and threatening. The iron collar and manacles he is wearing are more than mere restraints, they acknowledge the strength of his bulging muscles, containing them and controlling him. It's as if that is where his value to his new master lies. 

His shaggy hair suggests he's a bit of a beast, but his sexuality is clearly of no interest to his non-human captor and so that too seems to have been subjugated. His body is shaved, completely hairless and his reproductive organs are tucked away in a tiny, lovingly-detailed, leather pouch that, for me is very sexy.

This man is not in control, he's going to meet an unknown fate
 The birds circle overhead like an augury of doom.


Catweazle - Roman Slave 10

Here, Catweazle gives male slavery a historical treatment. I'd love to know where these soldiers found this muscle-hunk with his capacious loincloth and showy, ethnic hair-do. Unfortunately he seems to have been found wanting by the judge standing behind him. It must have been quite a shock to find death in charge of all these Roman Soldiers (another wtf? moment from this artist). There was never much doubt about the verdict he was going to deliver, but it seems the dirty work has been delegated to someone else. The shocked and confused captive is led away at the end of a very log rope to meet his grisly fate, urged on by angry guards.
