Sketches: Kurofai Shibari nc-17

[bottan]

Soooo... thanks to uakari120 for the hint that I can upload naughty pictures on blogspot! :D I never knew what to do with all the porn I drew (photobucket didn't like it very much) and ended up sending it via mail to people, but as things are, I decided to do a massive upload on old stuff! <3

Warning: No graphic depiction of "private parts," but, uhhh... sexual situations? XD

Let's do this in chronological order! :D Save for the first one, all of them are drawn from references.



#1 This isn't Shibari and it's OLD, but let's upload it, anyway. XD Drawn on 19th of April 2011.


#2 Reference used. (Sloppily used, but let's be honest and link it. XD') Basically, I wanted to know more about Shibari and started drawing it. From here, I worked my way through different photographs, drawing in order to find out more about the knots, where the ropes go, and how to compose pictures containing shibari. All of the below were drawn on the 7th and 8th of June 2011.



#3 Again, drawn from a photo. I JUST MADE THE GIRLS MEN. Interested in knots, anatomy, and composition.



#4 Reference used. Interested in how to position ropes in suspense so as to not cut into the flesh, too strongly. I still find suspense extremely beautiful. And Fai bendy enough to pull it off. :p



#5 Reference used. HAD to draw this one, god, the way the ropes are used to draw attention and contrast with the curves of the thighs!! Read: I only wanted to draw Fai's butt.



#6 Reference used. Loved the non-sexual, relaxed atmosphere in this one. I'm such a fan of non-sexual shibari, as of many things that centers around the beauty of the human body.



#7 ...reference used. Can't link this one, as it was, uh, a video. *coughs* The actress looked much less happy than Fai does. WHATEVER. XD *throws at you and runs*

That's it for today! :D

Ah, god, these are gorgeous. Simply gorgeous. The shibari binding is such an interesting technique... I tried to read about it, but I couldn't find a good site that could explain how it developed as an art form.

And while it's true that you've made Fai godawfully flexible and beautiful (ESPECIALLY THAT "SUSPENDED" PIC, HOLY /SHIT/) I think it's picture #3 that is the most striking. There's something about how large and muscled he is... the bindings bring him into a posture of submission and beauty that he'd never otherwise achieve. But by knowing the character and looking at the facial expression you gave him, I just feel like he's thinking "submissive, my sculpted ass" and that inherent rebelliousness just make the drawing even MORE powerful and striking.

...and now I feel stupid. So I'll finish by saying how feckin' adorable it is that Fai looks so happy in the last one.

rieke these are AMAZING and i love you forever and ever. like. seriously.

also i hope you don't mind but i kind of maybe sort of wrote some 100-word drabblets for them >>

#1 -

He knows Fai's there before the blond touches him, feather-light brushes of fingertips against his side, the heat of his body against Kurogane's back. He feels open and exposed, naked and vulnerable for it, and his cheeks are hot with a mix of shame and arousal. His fingers tense around the ropes binding him to the ceiling, and he tucks his face behind one aching bicep, hiding it from sight as Fai nuzzles the fine hairs at the nape of his neck.

"See something you like?" he asks, gruff.

"You," Fai replies, and he can hear the smile in the idiot's voice.

#2 -

The first flash of light is unexpected and leaves afterimages dancing across his eyelids, and instinctively he tries to twist to find the source. His bonds are tight and secure - why did he ever teach the idiot to do this? - and all he can do is loll his head, hoping he at least looks indignant. His teeth tighten around the gag, already spit-wet, and he narrows his eyes at the mage.

"Sorry," Fai says, although he doesn't sound it. He shakes out the Polaroid. "It's not my fault Kuro-chan looks so good all tied up, though!"

And he grins, triumphant.

#3 -

His shoulders protest the angle his arms are bound at, but it's a good pain, a clean pain. He keeps his head bowed and his limbs as loose as he can. Fai is a presence at the edge of his vision, fully clothed and prowling, eyes shining catlike in the dim lighting.

The ropes are tight around his chest, but not too tight, and it doesn't even worry him that his throat and belly are exposed. There's only Fai here. It feels like trust.

"I was right," Fai tells him, his voice darkly amused and threaded with want. "The red suits you."



(I'll probably end up doing the rest too, just gotta eat food)

Damn. *stares*

*drools vacantly*

I'm truly in awe. Fai looks quite good tied up...especially in the suspension one. *stares and drools some more*

[chilly-3x4.livejournal.com]

Excuse me,

I have a new interest to research now. XD

Seriously, this shows the beauty of the human body. Not only does it capture form but it capture motion, at least the potential for motion. Kurogane and Fai also have this nice, peaceful, come-hither expression in every picture. (I read to many doujinshi with archetypical stereotypes of a screaming/pained uke and a predatory/angry seme... Who honestly wants that?) This is such a nice recourse from the norm.

Another odd sex hobby for poor Syaoran to walk in on.

As everyone's said before these are gorgeous. I love just how human Kurogane looks #2 and #3 and Fai doesn't really look submissive, it's more of a serene/loving look.

Also this means someone needs to fill that shibari prompt over on the meme now. Pretty sure its kurofai too.

[yuui-nyanko.livejournal.com]

wow... just... wow...

I mean, I could drool hopelessly over your anatomy (which is amazing) but the facial expressions are just... so them

my hat off to you :)

[notasinglesoul5.livejournal.com]

no words, really. simply perfect! and gorgeous. the way you drew their bodies, god! I really admire your drawing style...
what's the next kink you are going to try *wink wink* (now you can't say NO! you know you want it!)

[zelinxia.livejournal.com]

I rarely see porn art that is so sensual yet so aesthetic. Like everyone else have pointed out, I like how the shibari accentuates the natural wonders of human anatomy. My favorites would have to be #3, 4, and 7 for their body expressions and poses. I love how Fai looks being suspended upside down. And the serenity and happiness in Fai's face in the last one is very priceless.

[fieldofclover.livejournal.com]

Sweet mother of mercy, your anatomy is gorgeous. I mean, wow, all those sketchy, beautiful details are just so quietly powerful, I can't even describe them any other way.

The ropes are gorgeous. Red and blue and perfect colour contrast, and I love that sense of... freedom this has, that complete and utter trust and loss of inhibition.

That suspended shot of Fai just makes me think of Cirque du Soleil, in a completely non-sexual manner- just the rope and the bamboo, and that easy, flexible sensuality that you've captured in the line of his body.

And Kurogane just looks so relaxed, especially in the third one- relaxed and open, but still this sense of 'I'm waiting' and uhh, can't even think any more. *_*

Their expression says it all really- their bodies are gorgeous and beautifully drawn, the robes and knots highlight the tension of their forms and contrast beautifully against that sense of trust and submission, but those eyes... god. I just can't.

*loves this, forever and ever and ever*

...You just made my day. And I really needed a pick-me-up.

♥_♥

[alprax.livejournal.com]

Ugh these are all so breathtaking and I want to save them to my comp sooobadly, but alas I'm on my phone so I'll just stare and try to refrain from saving any of these on here as it will most likely end up as my background.

Damn tease. D':

I don't know how to express how much I like the way you depicted them in the pictures. I know other people expressed how they liked that neither of them looked like they were in pain or being forced into something humiliating and those are the reasons I love these. I also admire how well you did the ties. I looked at the reference pictures and still wow. You did a amazing job. Each time I look at #6 I am reminded of a baby still in the womb, it feels very safe and loving.

May I use #7 as a userpic to go with Birds and Bees?

On a side note I have seen the reference pictures you used for #5 before. I think it was a different site... maybe. It is one of the more interesting ways to sell shoes.

[tarmachan.livejournal.com]

It seems like an echo now, but yes. THIS. They're all just so beautiful.

I think this is actually the first time I've looked at pictures of shibari and not felt at all uncomfortable (usually, I'm just not into bondage all that much). Because this is just amazing. The way they're posed, the expressions on their faces, not to mention how much I want to run my fingers through Fai's hair the way you've drawn it... it's just gorgeous. I agree with the above comments; I think it does really come down to whether you can see that sense of freedom, despite the physical restraint.

My favourite is tied (ohohoho) between #3 and #4, because there's something in the expressions of the two there that just enraptures me. Thanks for sharing these.

[puck]

Your images keep coming up in my noodling around with Google for shibari references, so I thought I'd finally comment. These are all so gorgeous! I really love how you've shaped their bodies to go with the patterns of ropework. Shibari is so wonderful and artistic, and I enjoy these a lot. Great work. :)

Permission to Repost?

[ianboheme]

Thank you for making them male. I rarely if ever see any shibari, rope suspension or anything of that nature with men in them. May I write an article and/or post a link referencing this page and set of pictures? It will not be professionally or for any newspaper or magazine I just wanted to essentially blog about this on another site.
