Art by Catweazle - 3

Young men seeking to be famous heroes sometimes discover, all too soon, 

that glorious deeds are not to be their lot in life.

Catweazle - Chained Hero In Danger 11

"No! They can't kill me! Not on my first mission!"

That was Jerry's final thought as his quest to rescue his brother from the Orcs

ended ignominiously on the very first day.

Catweazle - Jurassic World 06

"Yeah! Let's be 'aving you!"

These men all set out with the best of intentions, with lovingly cultivated physiques

and bags of enthusiasm, imagining that was all they needed to succeed.

Catweazle - Captured Hero 01

"Got you, my fine beauty!"

Not realising that there would be forest dwellers out there that don't want to fight and kill.

They love to collect fine, human specimens, using guile and magic to snare their game intact.

Catweazle - Roman Warrior v Worm 2-3

"Aaaargh! What a dirty trick! Not fair!"

Lucius set out to slay the creature that was killing his army comrades, wearing nothing but a shiny, steel pouch. He felt sexy and heroic, never imagining that the hunter could be hunted too. Nor that the creature would flout the rules of combat by attacking him from behind. It snatched him up, crushing his ribs in a ferocious grip. As he formulated his escape strategy, he felt it bite deep into his back. 

Catweazle - Cage Wrestling

"It's so tight!"

Even when the cherished dream of valiant, face to face, hand to hand combat can quickly sour.

The iron grip of an Orc is escapable and soon starts to hurt. A lot. And they smell awful too.

Catweazle - Sword and Sorcerer Contest 0608

"I didn't know it had spines"

Wriggling out of entwining tentacles is not so easy 

when they have bony spines that have already dug into your flesh.

Catweazle - Ruined Castle

"Come back and fight, you coward!"

It's humbling and humiliating when a hero's brain tells him to 'cut and run' 

Preserving his precious hide but making a mockery of his muscled image.

Catweazle - Hunk In Danger

"Gulp. How did it do that?"

Bitter still is the pill when escape and cowardly survival seems assured,

only for the opponent to produce the unexpected.

Catweazle - Water Monster Fight

"I'm gonna drown before I even get close!"

Fighting a creature in it's own environment is the epitome of bravery.

But many the hero realises with a sinking feeling that it's also the depths of foolishness.

Catweazle - Fight With The Snakes 2

"I didn't realise they hunt in packs!"

Against a lesser opponent, a careless stumble is all it takes to level the odds.

The creatures of the forest will show no mercy to a fallen beast.

Catweazle - Osher vs Ork (sic)

"Puny human - die!"

Past successes, fighting humans in the Arena breed false confidence.

An Orc champion can despatch a budding hero quickly and suddenly.

Catweazle - Minotaurus Victor

"What fools these humans are!"

So many of these gallant adventurers discovered too late

That a beautiful body and a sexy outfit cut no ice with a beast.

Catweazle - Dariuzs and the Sea Dragon

"If it closes it's mouth I'm done for!"

At least death in combat is better than the ignominy of being carried off helpless.

Destined to be a predator's next meal, consumed at leisure in it's lair.

Catweazle - Dead Hero Cart 01

"Heh, heh, more fertiliser for my crops"

Worst of all, is the fate of becoming just another failed hero, 

one of many who sallied forth and simply disappeared, 

and were soon forgotten by those who waved them off.

Defeat and Enslavement - Art by Theurges pt3

Theurges - Niamh v The Alpha 

This artist's depiction of human encounters with fantasy 'creatures' produces some memorable imagery (see Part 2) but this struggle between humans - Niamh and The Alpha - is the most substantial work at his  web site (link at the foot of the post) and arguably his best story-telling. 

Niamh is the ginger-haired, former hero and leader of a combat-based culture. He is recalled from retirement and marriage by the goading of his successor Buck, The Alpha, who has risen to power by ruthlessly eliminating his rivals and now wants Niamh to be his final and most valuable scalp. 

Theurges - Niamh v The Alpha 

Forced into hand-to-hand combat, Niamh's courage and experience is no match for the overwhelming size and strength of his opponent. In this image you get the measure of the daunting imbalance as he seems to be enveloped by hairy fleshiness in an intimate, vice-like embrace which he cannot escape and prevents him fighting back.

Theurges - Niamh v The Alpha 

At one point, The Alpha upends him and pins him to the floor, gripping his throat in a suffocating grip. It's a position which seems to foreshadow the fate he has planned for the hero once he has been defeated.

Theurges - Niamh v The Alpha 

Niamh's resistance is ultimately broken when The Alpha reveals that he holds his family as hostages. Niamh is forced to kneel in an imaginative restraint apparatus (which looks like it might double up as a wallpaper pasting table when not required for sex).  Thus immobilised The Alpha allows his cronies to use the hero to satiate their brutal lusts, one after another. Niamh's family look on witnessing his degradation which climaxes (so to speak) when he is seen to be responding sexually to the assault. 

Theurges - Niamh v The Alpha

This marvellous domination image is one of the highlights of the series. 

It shows Niamh voluntarily entering into The Alpha's service as his slave in order to save his family. 

He kneels at the foot of Buck's bed awaiting his new master's first instruction.

Theurges - Niamh v The Alpha

 

The defeated hero is forced to service the victor. This image seems to capture his stoic resignation and passive acceptance of the humiliating role he must now perform.
It is the start of a long and varied ordeal.

Theurges - Niamh v The Alpha

In the end Niamh seems to develop genuine feelings for his captor and responds to him.
He deceives himself into thinking it is a relationship based on mutual love.
In reality, The Alpha simply enjoys exploiting and controlling a strong and handsome man.
Inevitably, he eventually tires of the game.

 

 

Theurges - Niamh v The Alpha

Niamh is cast into a dungeon and forgotten by his 'lover'. 

He becomes easy prey for all the low lives and criminals who follow The Alpha. 

But his spirit has been broken .

Theurges - Niamh v The Alpha

These men use him cruelly, however they wish.
He cherishes the hope that one day his lover will return
and that his sacrifice means his family are safe and unharmed.

Theurges - Niamh v The Alpha

Then one day the Guards come and chain him into an X-frame
Finally Buck does reappear but only to tell him that he has no use for him any more.

The poignant scene is telling depicted here.

Domination Art by Paragon Illusions

Paragon Illusions - Acquiescence

A young man prepares for his first fetish experience. His hands are clasped behind his back, submissively anticipating restraint, but his teacher has decided that first he must learn unquestioning obedience and so, symbolically, he gags him. No questioning now, no answering back.

Great image!

Paragon Illusions - Weekend Play Toy

On a lonely road at night an expensive car draws up. A man gets out and stands, looking around. Then he begins to take off his expensive clothes - his jacket and tie, his trousers and shirt, carefully folding them all and storing them in the boot of the car (the trunk). After a second or two of hesitation, he takes off his underpants too and drops them on top of the pile. 

Next he opens the box that was delivered to him that morning. He takes from it a length of chain, winds it tightly round his ankles, as instructed, and secures it with a padlock, making very sure that the chains are tight, because he doesn't have the key to release them for a second attempt. He takes a second length of chain from the box and winds it round his wrists, which is more difficult, he has to use his mouth as well for this, but he practiced it (as instructed) before he left home. This time though he has to finish by closing the padlock, After that there will be no going back.

His decision made, he closes the boot-lid and hobbles round to the front of the car to wait, standing between the headlights. It's a cold, cloudless night and he shivers. He arrived a little early, wanting to be sure he had time to do everything just right. The man who is collecting him is probably watching him right now, but he won't show himself before the pre-arranged time. He may even turn up late, that is his prerogative. They have the whole weekend in front of them.

Paragon Illusions - Fantasy Fulfilled

In the first two fantasies, the subs offered themselves up completely naked. Clubland pick-ups usually come ready-packed in leather gear so it's a rare luxury for the top to be able to clothe a new acolyte to suit himself, in his own taste. For the newcomer, spread naked and waiting in the dungeon chains for the scene to begin, the buckling of someone else's harness tight across his chest, entrusting him to wear it, is an exciting expression of acceptance. The securing of the top's chastity device between nervous legs is an unsubtle assertion of his total control. These introductions complete, he is free to assess the man at his disposal for what is about to unfold. 

There's an inter-generational element to this image which changes a conventional 'training' scenario into something more interesting, with genuine mentorship and learning. 

Paragon Illusions - Board Bound

The training of mature men is no less exciting than instructing the uninitiated young. In fact, maturity and bulk in a sub add a suggestion of humbled pride to his act of unforced submission. This top seems to be making the most of it, pausing to observe the sub's reactions before securing the fourth and final limb in the fetters. He's clad his student in a bulky steel collar and mounted him on an uncomfortable, crude but strong open frame in symbolic containment of his superior, physical size. 

Now he can start to assess his inner strength and devise his training strategy.

 Beards on young and older men have become more favoured in recent years and this artists work reflects that with a pleasing spread of ages and nice balance between realism and ideals in body types. His participants all look different and, in their own way, desirable.

Paragon Illusions - Dare Taken

A strikingly attractive man bends his partner over a leather horse to make him pay a hot bottom forfeit. Somehow the artist has managed to capture a good sense of his forcefulness and their struggle.

The playful title here implies an equality of status that isn't evident in the imagery, with the shaving of a man's head being a classic degradation technique. Some subs do it for themselves which seems to miss the point and undermines a top's control. Perhaps that is the 'dare' at the heart of this piece.

Paragon Illusions - Disappointment

This misty image is a beautiful statement of forced submission. It owes a great deal of course to the imagery of captured agents and interrogation chairs in spy thrillers where the audience is split between those who fear their hunky hero is about to experience unpleasantness and those who desperately hope he will. That source does not detract from this artist's interpretation, the muscular captive's bowed head here is particularly expressive. However, it does make the adaptation to a leather/biker scenario a little confusing. 

You can interpret this as a biker gang boss rebuking an underling for a mission failure, but a studded paddle would be an unlikely interrogation tool for such a man, particularly when faced with a seated captive. In the fetish world, folding chairs like this are more likely to be found in the wrestling ring than a dungeon.

The artist's title is typical of his work, suggesting a deeply involved, consensual but strictly hierarchical power relationship between these two men. It seems to have gone off-script here with the dominant partner left nursing a bruised lip having been obliged to reassert his control. The remedy seems to be to sit the cowed offender down for a dose of Daddy talk (laced with emotional blackmail) after which he will agree to lower his thick leather pants for a spanking he'll never forget.

Whether you buy that or not, it's still a great picture.

Paragon Illusions - Factory Fantasy

The mysterious imagery of abandoned factories has a special place in the world of fetish where the vast, enclosed but neglected spaces and their trappings of chains, machines, furnaces and mobile cranes provide a wealth of intimidating atmosphere and kit for any would-be dominator. The setting was memorably featured in the Zeus 'Steel Dungeon' videos (1995) while 'Shooting the Past' by Priapus (2017) provides a gentler, more recent example. 

Paragon's take on the theme captures the spooky essence of the setting rather well, with the dark, misty lighting and invading undergrowth creating up a great sense of remoteness and isolation, that guarantees privacy for the protagonists or, if you prefer, eliminates any chance of rescue. His title cleverly damps down any suggestion of impropriety in what is about to happen whilst leaving the story of how this man came to be here naked and chained and his relationship (if any) with his 'captor' cloaked in ambiguity.

Paragon Illusions - Lesson in the Rain

The natural world in this piece becomes an even more active participant in the fetish experience, with a sub forced to stand outside, naked in (sleety-looking) rain. His top watches him from the warmth of their sitting room, able to enjoy his discomfort but also the embellishing effect of the gleaming water on his skin tones. It's very reminiscent of the work of Okawa and other Japanese fetish artists who put their subs out in the snow. I'm glad to say Paragon's victim looks a a good deal older and more than able to look after himself. This is one of my favourite images by this artist.

The artist's commentaries visualise a consensual contract that permits this sort of humiliation as a honourable, character-enhancing experience for the sub, much as Military Training does. Amalaric by contrast is rather good at thinking up other, thoroughly disreputable ways to persuade strong men to do want they wouldn't do otherwise.

Domination Art by ClydeChristie

This image sums up fairly succinctly the domination theme that pervades ClydeChristie's fantasy fan art (and it's clean enough to head up the post!) .

The beaten man is stripped of his armour and dominated and there's a slight suggestion that he'll be called upon to provide a very special service shortly, when the dust has settled. The victor is actually chained and collared like a criminal, and it seems, has vented his rage on an intruder who has stumbled into his reach.

The domination becomes even more exaggerated in this image where the artist employs what seems a fairly traditional practice where the winner places his foot on the subjugated man's throat to demonstrate to him the completeness of his defeat. The victor's overdressed companion joins in, placing his feet on the fallen man's chest.

Meanwhile on the left, feet are also used to force a warrior to kneel and await his fate.

This image shows where defeat may lead, The vestigial armour of the captive - collar and gauntlets - is dramatically contrasted with the regally-dressed warrior who has taken possession of him and towers threateningly above. This artist tends to draw his tops like the classic, square-jawed superhero types of 50's American comics. The naked captive here is a much softer, modern concept with sexy stubble. He takes his painful humiliation rather bravely with arms defiantly spread wide, a stance that appears to confuse his new master. 

This scene is depicted as something of a ritual. I'm not sure if the whirl of markings on the floor (in blocks of 7 if you exclude the strikethrough) are a record of the slave's daily torments or a more general count of prisoners processed in this fashion.

Superhero encounters in straight magazines are frequently framed as contests of strength, but involving very complex personal motivations and emotional involvements so it's hardly surprising that gay fan art interprets this with a sexual dimension and this one is a beauty because it doesn't resort to explicitness.

 We don't know if Captain America is going down on the Winter Soldier out of lust or because he's been made to. Take your choice! The artist's restraint in executing the idea lends it a disconcerting sense of reality, as though this might have happened in an original, straight story. If you check out this picture on his twitter account you'll see an animated gif of the porn scene that inspired it which makes a sexy coupling but also demonstrates how controlled this vanilla interpretation is.

 

This image gets us even closer to the nub of his art with the top using his boots to trample the very manhood of the unfortunate loser who's been stripped down to his underwear. There are more explicit images in this chain if you follow the links at the foot of the post.

These less fantastical, more real settings pack more punch for me although the dominant top here, Darius, with his prominent facial scar is still a classic gaming character. 

ClydeChristie also draws on the unbridled, ruthless power of a pirate captain to amplify the sense of crushing power over lesser mortals. This particular unfortunate is seemingly the loser in a tavern brawl or maybe a deserter brought to book. He's tied up for this humiliation, suggesting it will be protracted and may be followed by transfer to the Pirate's ship..

The artist also uses the idea of a 'human mat' in this image. It's a more private encounter, possibly located on board the ship where the Captain's power definitely is absolute. 

The gag here suggests that the naked victim may be the Pirate's booty, carried off against his will in a dawn raid. Possibly something like the previous picture. However you get the sense that he is not entirely dismayed by this plight!

Here the trampling seems to have evolved into an elaborate sexual ritual 
involving members of the crew too.

It's just a shame that pirates have a nasty reputation for 'letting crew members go'
in the middle of the ocean. I'm just saying!

This image takes in the world of leather fetish. The extensive selection of stinging flails lining the walls seem to have already been used to stimulate the prisoner, judging by his pinked skin. However they take second place to the booted foot when it comes to the final intimidating coup. At least this prisoner is accorded the dignity of being chained up to receive his punishment. 

There's a sense of anticipation here which his very erotic.

Visit the links to witness his squashing.

This is possibly my favourite with the helplessness of the victim firmly established by the use of open-legged, feet-off-the-ground restraint. There's a nice extra detail of dressing him in a simple, rope, upper-body harness. 

We can see that the threat to his well-being has been progressively demonstrated to him - by undoing his pants and exposing of his cock - by the foot placed between his thighs, menacingly nudging his balls - and the thumb invading his mouth and tipping his head back so he can't see what is coming next. 

Very clever. 

Despite the Christmassy reference I like the use of red ribbon used to restrain this naked 'slave'.

The image takes a different slant on the foot fetish theme with the sub contributing more directly, acknowledging, possibly embracing, his domination rather than being the passive recipient. 

Perhaps he's a 'Christmas Criminal' who hoped to steal the presents from under the tree and ended up being one himself (there's a link to my spanking take on this scenario in the sidebar).

Darius, the scarred protagonist in may of these pictures, likes to throw his weight around in the gym too. His bound victim here has a pretty muscular body but looks suitably dismayed at his humiliation

Embarrassed too perhaps that his cock has shown a weakness he's rather not advertise quite so publicly!

Is this the nerd's revenge? 
It looks like the culprit has stolen one of Darius' trainers, to savour the memory in private.
With the tables turned, Darius reveals his own fetish response to bondage.

This final image is another model of artistic restraint. In some ways it's the modern equivalent of the dominated warrior, the motorcyclist with his flashy motor bike and high performance, very eye-catching white suit being humiliated by a more traditionally attired biker. One imagines the show-off dandy finally exhausting the patience of his fellow bikers. His humiliation does not require the elaboration of sexual humiliation, well not yet anyway. 

The use of chains to bind him are a very nice, fitting detail. 

This is a very refined view of S&M with exquisite artwork.

These pictures are from Scrappy vs Braden Charron and Jaxton Wheeler (Rip 'n Strip) at Wrestler4Hire and when I first saw them I was amazed and aroused.

That reaction was initially sparked by the amazing sight of Scrappy's muscular back and mighty buttocks as he is lifted into the air by Braden Charron (in 18 and 19 and then again in 25). 

The yellow thong of course looks fabulous on him.

Secondly I was struck by his multiple, facial expressions of surprise, dismay and agony as he is put though a series of manoeuvres by the other two guys in  prolonged, 1-sided contest.

For, this isn't the usual, confused free-for-all you get with three men in a ring, but a calculating 2 on 1 attack inflicted mercilessly by much bigger men on a bodybuilder who is no pussy himself.

Scrappy isn't the prettiest boy on the W4H roster but he does have a great physique and has developed a classic wrestling persona of the vain narcissus. Braden Charron and Jaxton Wheeler have much bulkier physiques and they both can look like mean toughs which makes them ideal for the job of overpowering Scrappy and putting him in his place which is what they do in a series of amazing images.

I couldn't resist the temptation to weave a story round them. It's entirely fictional of course and not intended to say anything about the character of the wrestlers who act as my models.
