Siproites Transformation Art - 2

Siproites - One Bite of the Apple 02
This is an example where Siproites employs a well known magical device to initiate the transformation which gives the idea rather more substance, but the Disney-esque witch prevents it getting too serious. The ages of Siproites subjects varies but this youthful and naive muscle-hunk is an interesting one and it makes for interesting comparisons with the conventional version of the storyline.

Siproites - One Bite of the Apple 13
 He is not destined for years of sleep, however, to be awakened eventually by Prince Charming's kiss (although that storyline would not be without interest). Rather, there is a rapid transformation into a luscious sex siren. Notice how his boots have transformed into kinky knee length numbers and his jeans have shrunk into skimpy, ripped shorts. This particular victim seems relatively at ease in his new skin. Provocatively dressed, he seems to be throwing himself at another hunk who is happy to respond, not suspecting the true nature of his new friend. It's a comparatively romantic outcome compared with the explicitly sexual examples I used in part 1. You can also see this as a tale of 'coming out' in terms of both sexual orientation and gender identity. The unleashing of a voracious appetite for sexual intimacy is a not uncommon consequence. I imagine that bi-leaning men would find this highly erotic but I'd prefer to see a little more residual connection to the original male identity.

Siproites - Candiru 04
In this set of frames from 'Candiru', the artist explores a rather more scientific basis for the transformation phenomenon. He uses a parasitical fish that invades it's unsuspecting host and naturally it's by using a sexual passageway. This entry cleverly foreshadows the fate that awaits this particular part of this man's body - which is to be used for penetration post-transformation. Those of you who are tuned into sexual iconography will have already noted the proximity of well-endowed ethnic Africans and you can probably work out the rest.

'Candiru' is possibly Siproites master work amongst his publicly available pieces, having a tight, classic storyline. His unusual viewpoint breathes new life into sexual (and racial) stereotyping that is thought-provoking.
Siproites - Substitute Witch 9
 The Pizza delivery boy is standard fantasy fare, a younger and potentially more naive version of the tradesmen who routinely come into our homes to do their jobs (into our lairs you might say) and thus appear to present an opportunity for seduction and more. They rarely come in cute packages like this unfortunately (or perhaps those that do rapidly discover the pitfalls!). In these frames and the ones below Siproites deftly captures the young man's innocence and post-adolescent obsession with his own, still-growing body.
Siproites - Substitute Witch 11
He doesn't seem aware of the feminine attractions of the home owner, but as it happens, this young man has stumbled into a witch's lair. One who is seeking a substitute to stand in for her while she takes a holiday.
Siproites - Substitute Witch 12
 The image of the hunky man unconsciously displaying his attractions unaware that an unwished-for, shocking fate is being planned for him is the stuff of teen-horror films and classic 'danger' story-telling. You can see there's an appropriate element of apprehension in his demeanour and his right hand is most interestingly positioned.
It's highly erotic.

Siproites - Substitute Witch 16
This transformation begins with shrinking hands and fingernails which not only get longer but acquire a laquered finish. This view of what makes a woman could only belong to a man I think. Siproites rises rather well to the challenge of imagining and depicting what it would be like to feel your sex organs shinking back inside your body.

Siproites - Chrysalis 03
'Chrysalis' was the first work by Siproites which I stumbled across and it's one of his best, particularly interesting for those of us who enjoy fetish flavours in our fare. This butch little elf is a marvellous, sexy creation. He's shown here lusting after some fairies, thereby establishing his hetero credentials. The threat posed by a giant scorpion is another of those adventure story, danger scenarios full of erotic overtones. However in heroic fantasies (their customary domain) such creatures usually stop short of explicit, erotic attack, so this tights-ripping ploy must be as worrying to the elfin hero as it is unexpected. For us, this method of disrobement has the advantage that we can view the whole process, unobstructed.

Siproites - Chrysalis 04
 These chase images with the bare-assed elf fleeing from a nasty sting are very homo-erotic but his refuge, in a flower that closes upon him, comes from the classic iconography of female parts.
Siproites - Chrysalis 05
 These pictures, of the fugitive breathlessly sheltering and then discovering he's fled into another danger and is in fact trapped, are very pretty and very evocative. I can recall a fantasy island film in my younger days where a semi-naked youth is chased by a giant bee, takes shelter in a honeycomb and is sealed into it by his pursuer. Siproites take on the idea rekindled the excitement I felt then, though I'm not sure I have any idea why it works on me like that. I suppose in fetish terms it combines caging with a sort of mummification. In the end the captive elf becomes a (female) fairy and is then released to fly away, watched by another cute, mini-rugby-player on the ground below, who is destined to take the same path.

I confess I find Siproites work very sexy, despite the prominence of the female form in it. The psychology of it, though familiar, seems to be at the same time deeply mysterious (possibly for the same reason). I can only recommend you to explore it further.

Siproites Transformation Art - 1

 Just over two years ago I profiled the transformation art of Yomero which strikingly depicting white and latino men mysteriously transforming into blacks with all the stereotypical body changes you might expect from such a process. Siproites work also deals with transformations - not racial but gender, from men into women. This isn't a subject I'd normally think of covering here and you'll be relieved to know that I won't be showing large numbers of ladies in this article, but I confess I find the psychology intriguing and there will be some. But there's another reason for featuring this artist......

El Meyor Prevenir (The Best Precaution)
I find Siproites depiction of men very appealing and worthy of inclusion in this blog in it's own right. The sample above is a nice example from a comic strip promoting the use of condoms. In the story line the hunky stud on the left is shown getting ready for a night out. His reflection in the mirror keeps reminding him to take condoms with him but is ignored. Exasperated, he steps from the mirror and thrusts them into the foolish lad's hand. This is a different sort of transformation of course, not unlike the statue coming to life in Platter's art, Etienne also did it.

Running
This conventional sketch of a man running shows Siproites skill with human anatomy. This is the first frame of a series in which he gradually transforms, first into a normal-looking woman and then into an extreme stereotype of womanhood with hourglass figure, flowing locks, luscious lips and (naturally) big boobs. It's a heterosexual man's idea of the ultimate woman and so exaggerated that for me it actually passes beyond being objectionable.

Woo Woo
Thankfully Siproites is equally adept at applying these exaggerations to the male figure and I love the combination of square-jawed stubble and rosy roundness in his face. This example hints at sexual ambiguity with the man's colourful costume.  He's meant to be a wrestler and in the preceding pictures is shown holding a typical over-sized Championship Belt. We see it here transforming into a bra which, by the end will be restraining melon-like breasts. During the process his tights split apart into panties and leggings and shrink to a very skimpy size. Bizarrely, the boots also transform into high heeled, dominatrix form.

Miss-ter Universe 1
Similar things happen here but as you see, the muscle man shrinks first (everywhere!) before the female parts of his new body begin to make themselves seen. 
This story takes place during a body-building competition. The conversion process is triggered by a fairy(!) who seeing the wonderful muscles on display, drops her wand which melts and begins to alter the hero from the feet up. Other bodybuilders in the vicinity are similarly affected but they are all seemingly unaware of the change.......

Miss-ter Universe 2
At least until the judges and audience begin to show their surprise, pleasure - and arousal at the unexpected display of voluptuous creatures posing before them. Hopefully I've prepared you for this picture! Personally I find this depiction of women so unreal that it doesn't trigger a negative reaction. In its extreme exaggeration you get a sense of the scale of the shock the men inside are experiencing, having become, not just women but the highly stylised female sex objects of their own fantasies. The public exposure here before an all male audience, heaps humiliation on their misfortune. Being part of a group, all equally affected, adds a curious twist of availability and vulnerability.

Pride Goeth....... (1)
 The title and captions on this piece flesh out the feeling that the transformations are seen as punishments by the artist which might suggest it's a woman's hand, but no, his name is Victor. 

Pride Goeth....... (2)
 His views of men's personalities, wedded to their 'junk', are as uncomplicated as his over-developed women. On other occasions, however, he does however put a good deal more thought into causations than this particular example, which shows a mysteriously vague magical effect.
Equally uncomplicated.....I love nice pecs in tight vests!

Pride Goeth....... (3)
Bewilderment and fear as a man senses his very essence changing. 
There's an S&M theme here but attaching it to gender and, dare I say, sexual orientation is very thought provoking.
Men's Room 1
 In Men's Room the subject's masculinity is enhanced by showing his muscles straining at his clothes and a virile moustache. This time we have a mysterious ray effect embedded in the urinal itself, at the very heart of a man's world! It brings about immediate penis shrinkage preparatory to transformation taking place. Siproites exploration of well-known male fears embellishes these pieces with a wry humour that's most enjoyable.

Men's Room 2
The transformation takes place in an empty toilet but as soon as it's finished other men arrive, including this dishy number. Finding a half naked woman in their space they naturally assume that service is called for (well I said it's uncomplicated). In erotic terms however this is the logical outcome of the body-builder scene as well, it's what sex objects are for. The female version here doesn't tie in very closely with the appearance of the original hunk which slightly undermines this highly significant moment where he experiences sex at the hands of another man. It's more obvious if you view the complete series however. Unexpectedly erotic

Hunk Hunt - Mitch Colby 9


Mitch's career in erotic wrestling  continues up to 2015 at least, as far as I have been able to discover. In a couple of these later bouts he's matched against young, slender men which I confess are less interesting to me on the whole than the hunky brutes I focussed on in the last episode, but they do still produce some interesting moments.


We've seen a goodly ration of bulge nuzzling already in this series of articles and Mitch Colby's orange trunks too, but away from the centre of attention in this image it's Rafe Sanches' slender, lightly-sculpted waist and skimpy trunks that makes this picture sing. It's an inviting unattended sight that fires the lustful imagination. That's what young men are meant to bring to the party of course.


 Reese Wells (aka Brody Hancock on other Wrestling sites) has a baby face that belies his wild film persona. This is a great image in it's own way and the hold is normally a favourite of mine, but I find that visual imbalance between the older, bigger man and his lightweight junior in this piece rather disconcerting.  I'm happy to see a bigger man being ground down into submission but it seems a bit too uneven here. Mitch's apparent determination to make it hurt (yes I know it's not real!) doesn't really fit with the way I like to see him.


 Reese is allowed his own moments of domination in this video but this image seems to sum up the mismatch quite succintly and the playful way of expressing it is great.


These images from Colby's match with Billy Lodi pose the same issues for me. This backbreaker is supposed to hurt but I'm glad to see Mitch isn't pressing the point on such a frail-looking body.


I do like this picture. Mitch's backside always looks great (even clad in orange) and here, back turned, it seems to express his disdain for a weaker opponent who is simply, embarrassingly trapped by superior strength


 The 'carrying off of the victim' is the ultimate expression of conquest, a moment to savour. But this vanquished opponent here with his ill-fitting trunks and skinny legs looks more like he's being rescued. Sorry Billy!


Christopher Bruce steps in to provide some real man meat in this sexy, jockstrap combo. He's visually inspecting Mitch's pouch close up while simultaneously nudging the big man's rear end with his own bulge. Meanwhile his unattended and exposed rear provides fantasy material for the viewer, just like Rafe's frontage in the first picture above.


This hold is the same as Reese Wells was subjected to above but Rio Garza is older and more muscled and the result is great. You can see the difference if you compare the two lads trunks for shape and fit. Rio's big enough for this test.


He's gets the chance to dominate Mitch as well, this super shot of Mitch's buns being one happy consequence of an otherwise rather puzzling move.


In the end though, Mitch's strength prevails and Rio being the handsome creature that he is, gets to be carted off to be given extra-curricular training of some sort. And he hasn't even broken into a sweat - yet!


Rio wears a distinct air of resignation in this clip!
Look out for his golden butt too. Great stuff.



I'm not a fan of triumphalism and I've described this pose as a cliche elsehwere in this series, but having built up Mitch Colby's heroic credentials over 9 episodes and watched him often suffer a great deal for our pleasure it seems only fair to allow him this salute in parting. This image shows his mature beauty rather well and without undue flattery, while his trunks are equally generous to his manhood.

A true hunk worthy of his place in this series

The End

Hunk Hunt - Mitch Colby 8

Mitch Colby's appearances opposite porn celebrities Rusty Stevens and Aryx Quinn slotted into the same time frame as his memorable fetish film appearances (see Part 1) between 2009 and 2012. In this period also, his casting opposite two less well-known wrestler names also produced some interesting imagery.


 Brook Stetson's hairy, fleshy muscularity makes a supreme, dominant foil for Colby's 'regular guy' persona. He seems full of dangerous masculinity. It's not necessarily alluring in the same way as Rusty and Aryx, but represents a blunt sensuality that's impossible to ignore.


Stetson's sweaty bulk strains at a frail-looking jockstrap making the rearward-facing head-scissors position seem more potent than ever as a humiliation hold.

With the scissors reversed those hairy pecs sighted over the mound of Stetson's jockstrap must give an overwhelming impression of irresistible strength that makes the hint of bondage here seem almost superfluous. No wonder Mitch is sweating.

 

 In contrast, Colby's meeting with the austere but handsome Vlad Varek is notable for some conventional combat imagery that gives Colby's own brand of masculine appeal a chance to shine through. If you think wrestling is entirely faked, take a closer look at that impact area.


Mitch is forced to wearily confront his opponent's assets in the traditional way for losers. 
These images also provide an interesting object lesson in trunk selection. Mitch's traditional blue flatters his physique, but Vlad's co-ordinated red outfit seems to have the opposite effect. His chunky thighs ought to stand out in this image but somehow they don't.

This knee-drop move is captured at a perfect moment. Vlad's straining face acknowledges his opponents considerable size and we can see his muscularity for ourselves from this angle. These daunting qualities have been completely overwhelmed however. Mitch is lifted into a precarious position that epitomises forced subordination and inescapable pain ahead. 

 

Mitch's encounter with Skotch English provides similarly potent moments. This man's shaved head and chunky physique promises a bruising physicality and merciless determination that's amply represented in this striking image. His relative lack of defined muscularity compared with Stetson (top above) suggests a street-fighter's rawness, unrefined and unpredictable. Meanwhile Mitch's trunks are working well for him.


The dramatic role reversal seen here is the stuff of wrestling of course, the brute turned into a baby. Colby seems almost majestic here, casually imposing his strength through a simple hold whose efficacy we have probably all experienced and can readily comprehend. His face shows a calmness and confidence that is both warming and attractive, demonstrating that maturity isn't always a downhill process.


 This is perhaps a less convincing sequel move, but for me the combination of Skotch's arched-backwards and involuntary, offering-up of his body, plus his tight, square cut, butt-enhancing shorts plus the intimate conjunction with Colby's crotch adds up to a highly erotic moment. One that the preceding images have not prepared us for.


Colby's dominance is not destined to last in this story but with the assistance of those terrific trunks he is able to show us that his male attractions are not dimmed by staring defeat (and his opponent's nether regions) in the face. His broad back defines his strength but is now wet with sweat which symbolises how his power has been gradually drained away by his opponent's superiority. 
Lower down, the artful disturbance of his trunks tells the same story. His coyly revealed, single ass cheek is actually equalled in eroticism by the chunky shaping of the trunks round the other cheek, those diagonal crease lines are amazingly sensual.


 They say that nobody likes a loser, but I don't think that's true here. 
I'll let the image speak for itself. That's a hunk! Yum!

To be concluded next time.

Hunk Hunt - Mitch Colby 7

 

In 2010, the year after Mitch Colby made his debut in Titan's fetish films (see Part1), his erotic wrestling career acquired a touch of glamour in a pairing with the notable porn star Rusty Stevens. If  Colby has a mild, mature and often bewildered look about him Stevens' persona is decidedly hard and dangerous. You'd have expected him to be there, dishing out more humiliation for Colby and the BGEast studio duly reward us with some trunk chewing which Stevens enforces with impressive effort and muscularity. 


 He repeats the humiliation later on in the film, having swapped the dubious leopardskin trunks for a natty grey jockstrap. Mitch gets a faceful of sweaty crotch-wrapping.


As you might expect, Stevens' porn star physique gets much showcasing in this production and an extended bear-hug administered by Colby from behind suits that purpose very well. Stevens acting performance and natural assets in this sequence manage to dispel my normal disinclination to linger over this hold.
 

 There are some lollipops for feet fetish fans in this film and this moment where Mitch traps Stevens' legs in a figure-4 using his crotch is unexpectedly sensual. Colby's chunky buns and thighs create a crudely dominant impression and make his opponent's lean muscularity seem quite boyish and vulnerable by comparison.


 Not every man can wear a jockstrap as well as Colby does here and it adds erotic gravitas to his domination of poor Rusty. The conjunction of crotch, crack and feet here is fascinating. You can believe that Colby's bulk could keep his opponent trapped like this for some time, while he enjoys a bit of foot frottage.


In the end Rusty acknowledges his master and Mitch gets a reward that you might not have predicted at the outset.

  ~

Mitch has another celebrity encounter 2 years after this and it's worth departing from my previous chronological sequencing to take it in here. 


Aryx Quinn, also known as Tristan Balwin appeared on the Buk Buddies site way back and makes regular appearances in conventional gay porn. That's him above seeing to Gavin Waters above. Like Colby, he has a significant parallel career in erotic wrestling, but unlike Colby he has cultivated an extroverted, mean guy image that you can glimpse in the shot above.


When Aryx and Colby run into each other in BGEast 's Ring Wars #20 the bad boy's reputation might have you salivating over the possibilities for humiliation of the older man. 
Indeed the customary crotch-led greeting is not too long in coming. 


So far things seem to be following the anticipated pattern. Aryx is wearing a purple thong for this encounter. It's a garment that has similar butt-exposing properties to a jockstrap but also carries associations of flamboyance, a characteristic that gives a special, unpleasant twist to domination manoeuvres like this face sitting.


However, when dealing with a big chap like Colby, exposing the butt is a double-edged sword and provides a temptation that's much harder to resist than the sportsman's more utilitarian jock. Even without the spanking ingredient here, Mitch's scissors hold on Aryx's neck creates an exceedingly erotic picture.


Mitch goes on to give his opponent a series of punishing discomforts, including a dose of Aryx's own, trademark, back-breaker hold. Those skimpy briefs begin to look a little foolish now! (Although I confess I also find Colby's orange favourites less than flattering to him). As we saw with Rusty Stevens, Colby's mature muscularity dwarfs his opponents' litheness at close quarters and it's very sexy, particularly when they are temporarily unable to escape.


 In the end, an exhausted (but still sexy) Aryx is hoisted by his thong strap ...


.....and escorted from the ring, presumably for a ritual forfeit whose nature you must imagine for yourselves since the film ends with the two men disappearing from sight together. A nice device.

~

I have brought these two films together here, not only on account of their shared 'porn celebrity' status, but also because Colby's meetings with these two men led me quite by chance to a link back to my last 'hunk hunt' which featured Brian Bodine. It transpired that Rusty Stevens and Aryx Quinn both got the chance to work Brian over in the same Can-Am video 'The Arena, Part 1' (2010) 


Good quality images of this film are hard to track down, but as you can see from the cover, Brian gets to suffer nakedly and valiantly at the hands of both men, who were warming up for their own bout the next day to make The Arena, Part 2. It would have been nice to tie this diversion neatly back to the subject of my present series but sadly I can find no trace of Brian fighting Mitch Colby or indeed any other wrestler after this gruelling experience!
