I like the toon-like style! Makes me think of al hirschfeld or mad magazine or something like that...

Shows the range of personal reaction. Good drawing, for sure, but I see no need for the "toon-like" style. How, can anyone explain, will making the characters appear funny help the erotic message... or maybe there isn't one..?

There's this fellow, goes by R. Crumb. Heard of him? Maybe check him out. Some people seem to like it.

Thanks. I regret inking it, it looked better in pencil.

Great and unique style. Love it!

I'm in a process of experimentation with my drawing style. I'm by no means the finished article, a bit more adjustments are needed - on reflection I think I was a bit heavy with the pen in that first picture for instance, but I'm getting there.

 

[djrip]

I love the inked and the pencil (I think the 2nd was pencil!), But the inked is easier to see the details, the pencil I have to enlarge and look close. Which, it's awesome when I do that. But the ink stands out more. Pencil would be great with something that was intricately shaded and 3d looking. Could do that with ink, too, with cross-hatching or something, of course.

Your skills are really good. I really like the art. Well done

 

[LiverpoolMaster]

Erotic images can convey both sexual and comedic messages at the same time. There's :no need" to just be sexual for the sake of being sexual.

And since it's art, you can interpret it however you want.

Yes, they can. An assertion which doesn't mean that either is then conveyed in any satisfying way. Just like you can add mustard to your strawberries... or a funny moustache to the Mona Lisa...

The question is: what is the point?

However, as any celebrity chef would no doubt say, "since it's gastronomy, I can of course spread the mustard interpret it however I want. There's no need to cook food for the sake of eating it..."

 

[Magineer]

This isn't a logical comparison. You eat and look at food. You look at/read porn. You don't eat porn, so it doesn't matter if you put mustard on a porn strawberry. Not everyone has to hold their dick in their hand for every bit of porn they see, so if there is one "unsavory" or "unconventional" piece (or mustard smear), they lose their boner.

Erotic humor, written and drawn, has been a genre for hundreds of years. Over a thousand, actually (ancient Rome). The "point" depends on context (social, political, religious...).

The fact that you only seem to be responding to the beginning of my message shows that maybe you just don't want to get the point of erotic humor or satiric porn (because, well, I showed you examples).

Which is fine. To each their own.

(Also still don't know how Cubik's art even qualifies as comedic just because of the style! It's just their style. I've seen so many different art styles on Twitter and elsewhere with porn. Everyone here needs to diversify what they see if you think this is "cartoony"!)

I see no fault in Liverpool's logic.

What people seem to forget is that the "drawn erotic humour" referred to is intended to be neither erotic nor humorous. That is to fall into the trap of viewing it superficially and deducing that any drawing must of course be art. This is not the intention of its producer.

The intention is visual satire. End of. It used to be called lampooning. You offer up a visual criticism, usually highly exaggerated, of your political foes/ social trends or whatever. And yes, the long history of newspaper cartoons is precisely in that same tradition. A visual polemic which is not intended to be appreciated for its artistic value.

It's been said, quite rightly, that sex and humour are mutually antagonistic. You CAN force them together in art if you absolutely insist - but there is precious little point in doing so unless, of course, you are a grandmaster in the "art" of futility.

 

[djrip]

There is a deep division of opinion here apparently. Some of you here and in the other thread about sex and humour are absolutely insistent that the two shall never meet. I, and I suspect some others, believe that humour is an absolutely integral part of the sexual experience. Sex is ridiculous on it's face. As humans we make of it a sacred event, or a farce, or anywhere in between. Laughter during sex is, to me, essential. Not all the time of course. But if it never happens? That seems very strange and a bit sad to me.

And lots of porn embraces humour, sometimes explicitly with ridiculous costumes or hokey dialogue or whatever, but I think it's best when it's a kind of subtle, tongue in cheek wink at the audience about how silly the whole thing is. Like I saw one recently about a guy's brother stealing his gf, shot from the bf's pov so we never actually see him. Brother and gf talk to him while fucking, she's apologizing, he's asking bf if he minds what he's doing with her, camera swings side to side like he's shaking his head... I don't know, I thought it was pretty funny. Didn't harm my arousal level in the slightest, may have enhanced it. That's just one example, but I feel this kind of situational humour is widespread and perfectly appropriate. In written form, there's the thing where a scene just gets so over the top, you have to chuckle and think, "I can't believe you pulled that off, author, gotta hand it to you." Maybe it's just me but I find this kind of not-from-explicit-jokes humour all the time in sexual media and I think it's great.

Oh I nearly forgot hentai! Jesus Christ can it be ridiculous. And hot. Ridiculously hot.

Really? Oh, right then. I stand enlightened.

I shall now humbly move on, obviously swayed by your assertion that you and countless others find it possible to maintain an erection while at the same time having a good old belly laugh. I hadn't realised I was in a tiny minority on that one...

You can imagine my frustration over all these years when trying to interest my lady partners during sex in my vast store of limericks, that out of some obscure and totally unreasonable motive, they would always ask me to save my would-be witticisms till later.

Anybody would have thought they were in some way too pre-occupied with... something... else...

Stupid women, eh..?

 

[djrip]

Lol. We're not talking about delivering stand-up comedy here. Just seeing and appreciating the humour inherent in rolling around with a naked sweaty human and putting body parts into each other and sometimes falling on our ass or farting or having something land somewhere funny, and laughing together because these moments highlight our shared humanity and our love for our imperfect human partner.

I disagree with the very absolute sounding assertions some have been making that sex and humour are definitely never ever compatible. It seems like you're saying humorous erotic art is valueless. If you don't like it, that's fine. But I think it's weird to paint that as an absolute rule, rather than your personal preference, especially since so much visual erotic material out there does take a humorous angle. For just one example see the "Some of my Own" thread a few down on this board, in which I don't recall you or liverpool berating the artist for daring to execute a humorous piece. Or every piece of hentai where boobs squish out around each other like beanbags while buttons cling to shirts by a fraying thread and a guy falls toward them face-first with wide shocked eyes.

But I don't want to derail cubik's art thread any further, so I'll make this my last word on the topic.

 

[LiverpoolMaster]

Yes, and flat-earthers disagree that the Earth is round.

The two are mutually antagonistic, as stated by Maginier. "Erotic" means sexually arousing. You go ahead and try, as has been said, to maintain your sexual arousal while laughing your head off. You can have one or the other at any one time. You can't have both. It is an absolute. There is zero compatibility. Only come back and try to refute this once you have successfully completed the erection experiment as suggested. Humour kills erotic intentions.

That's my last word!
