EPIC.
I have never understood why the codpiece is such a omnipresent accessory in the world of comics. I know it's a "vital" organ, but how about some armor over the heart or lungs.
ReplyDeletenice, you managed to out-gay the chest hair contest post

ReplyDeleteTo think I thought I had a career in film FX back then....
Blackie wins though - especially as the firework one fucked up once and shot his ball hair off...
And Rygar = its so comic artists dont have to draw ball sacks or gruesome dick bulges.
Sadly as a porn graphic novelist -
I have to draw the whole caboodle. Still for every cock - I get draw a dozen minges. And at least I only draw my own ;o)
Wow, stargraves.
ReplyDeleteI'm equal parts impressed and creeped out. Nice.
