Dagon Is Hungry

snacking on women

This image is named Dagon, by the artist Tim White. White is a British science fiction artist with an extremely extensive listing of works in the International Science Fiction Database, mostly dating from the 1970s through the 1990s. The Dagon painting was used for cover or interior art on more than 10 different publications, most of them different editions of an H.P. Lovecraft omnibus:

As recently as 2015, Tim White had an official artist website; it’s gone now, but seems well-preserved by the Internet Archive. He is also the subject of a fairly detailed entry at the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, which somewhat unkindly opines that his work subsequent to 1990 “generally seemed less inspired.”

Robotic Sex Machine

This artwork is by the prolific hentai artist known as “lilish”, whose primary web home is apparently on Pixiv, here. The artwork (Pixiv login required) may be seen in lilish’s account here, where it is titled/captioned “機械姦 : 気持ちよさそうなもの描きたかったの” (machine translation is “Robotic: I wanted to draw things that seemed comfortable”).

Lilish has an older web presence at this link that’s predominantly in Japanese, although warnings there suggest it is disused and that most current work is at Pixiv. Considerable volumes of this artist’s work are collected elsewhere around the web, including more than 500 pictures here at Rule 34 and more than 1,300 images in this e-hentai folder.

Nurses Make It All Better With Drugs

The image above is a still from the 2003 movie Party Monster. A closely-related frame appears in higher resolution on this page along with the caption “This week I saw an amazing movie called Party Monster from 2003. It is based on a true story of an extravagant guy who was party organizer but whose life became a downward spiral of all popularity, drugs and murder.”

A very brief glimpse of these same good-time party nurses can be seen about one minute and twenty-five seconds into this movie trailer available on YouTube:

Tentacles For Jill Valentine

The artist identified by the signature “Yu-Ta.18” on this artwork has a web page in Japanese here. This page identifies the character failing to escape from the grasping tentacle-fingers as Jill Valentine from the Resident Evil gaming and movie media franchise. Yu-Ta.18 has actually done an entire tentacle-sex-themed art set featuring Jill Valentine that’s called Jill’s Report, although this particular artwork does not appear to be part of it:

Two small galleries featuring additional work by Yu-Ta.18 (including tentacle-sex images) may be found at Danbooru and Rule 34.

Up Up And Away

This disembodied monster carrying off a pretty girl is from a movie poster concept painting by Jack Thurston for the 1966 (1967 in US) movie “It!” According to this page from an auction site:

19×23″ Crescent illustration board has 10.25×16.75″ tall image area painted in tempera and signed in lead pencil at lower right “Thurston”. Striking image of Swamp Thing type character carrying terrified blond wearing only slip towards viewer. Art is bright and Exc. and extremely well done. Lower right side has small pencil note “Bill Gold Charlie Gold Agency For Warner Bros”. Note refers to poster designer Bill Gold who became head of poster design at Warner Bros. in 1947 and opened “B G Charles” with his brother to do movie promotion with Charles in Los Angeles and Bill in New York City. The 1966 film “It!” was made by Seven Arts Productions for Warner Bros and features the Golem of Prague as its main subject. The film starred Roddy McDowall, Jill Haworth, and Paul Maxwell. Herbert Leder was producer, the screenwriter and director of the film. He also directed other movies including “The Frozen Dead” in 1966. See previous item #2103. The film was first released in Great Britain in 1966 and released in the U.S. in 1967 when Seven Arts Productions acquired Warner Bros. communications company. It was released as a double bill with “The Frozen Dead” and became available on home video in 2008. Author Theodore Sturgeon did a sci-fi story titled “It” for the August 1940 issue of “Unknown” about a swamp creature roaming the country side and destroying everything in its path. Born in 1919, Jack Thurston served during WWII as a sculptor doing scale models of enemy terrain. He was an art director in Rochester and besides movie posters has also done numerous illustrations for book covers. The Jack Thurston iconic poster art of Raquel Welch in “One Million B.C.” from 1966 sold at auction for $77,675 in 2008. A superbly done painting.

An actual promotional photo from the movie seems… somewhat less terrifying, as you might expect from a film about the most terrifying thing you’ll ever hope to get when you put a bunch of rabbis in a room and ask them to do dark magic:

carried away by a golem

There’s a page in German here that tracks and displays half a dozen different pulp-magazine and movie-industry uses of the Thurston artwork, which doesn’t itself appear to have have ever been used to advertise the movie for which it was created. My favorite is probably this appearance of just the head on the front of an edition of Famous Monsters of Filmland, which of course this critter manifestly never was and never got to be. Anything to sell magazines, right?

not a famous monster of filmland, but got impersonated by a golem once

Ascent, With Girl

girls girls girls movie poster

As is self-evident from the artwork, this is a movie poster for a movie called Girls Girls Girls. Somewhat difficult to research due to a 1962 Elvis Presley movie by the same name, the poster refers to an entirely different movie, the details of which are tricky to pin down.

The most comprehensive and detailed (ha!) information on this Girls Girls Girls movie comes from German-language DVD seller Tabu Film, which offers a postage-stamp view of the DVD clamshell art and a brief synopsis of the movie:

Ein Sex-Road-Movie der Sonderklasse! Exklusive Drehorte, ungeheure Aufnahmen, ein Spitzenaufgebot neuer, wunderschöner und hemmungsloser Mädchen sowie eine Spitzenstory von Alan Vydra – das ist “Mädchen, Mädchen, Mädchen”!

The German machine-translates to:

A sex road movie of the special class! Exclusive filming locations, tremendous shots, a top cast of new, beautiful and unrestrained girls and a top story by Alan Vydra – that’s “girls, girls, girls”!

Tabu Film gives the production date as 1981. (However, I do note that the copyright date on the movie poster is 1979.)

Encylo Ciné (a French-language source) says that the movie was a hotbed of aliases and alternate titles, including Teenager In Love, Amies de papa (les), Deux Américaines à Paris, and Flocons d’amour. The Teenager In Love poster:

Although none of this is living up to the psychedelic disco alien space biker glory of the original poster, the new title leads us inexorably to videotape cover art and screenshot thumbnails:

What any of this has to do with striding above the fogs of the Golden Gate with an armload of blonde, I am powerless to say.

Terrible Nurse

This image is by the Ukrainian photographer “Flexdreams”, and is titled “Terrible nurse with a syringe with blood in hand” on Shutterstock. It is the first of four related images available in a Shutterstock stock photography series:

The Flexdreams photographic portfolio is extensive and has much to offer in the way of surreal, beautiful, and disturbing imagery.

Topless Cheerleader, Well-Goosed By Tentacles

According to a page at the Rule34.xxx site, this artwork is by the artist Gagala, who has a “Secret Lair” art site and is Patreon-supported. The cheerleader in the artwork is said to be Bonnie Rockwaller, a classmate and archrival of the animated character Kim Possible in the Disney Channel TV series of that same name.

Almost 375 artworks by Gagala are available on Rule34.xxx.

Inside The Nude

Provenance research does not in this case reveal a definitive source for this image, but it goes a long way toward animating a robust theory about the nature of such a source:

bent over skinless poser figure with skull top removed

In a variety of dead ends where reverse image search engines proclaim that this image used to be found, and in at at least one place where related images are found, the relevant URLs include the string “Pix3D” which probably refers to three-dimensional modeling or animation software such as Poser. At one time, “Poser art” and “Poser porn” were pretty big deals on the web, and it was common for people to take existing 3D models and make image sets (sometimes porn image sets) with them by posing them in a variety of custom skins and textures and sets and backgrounds. The Poser software was expensive commercial stuff (though often pirated) and there were many competing freeware, open-source, shareware, public-domain, and budget alternatives of varying capabilities. My theory is that this image is the product of that “Poser art” world.

The link above bolsters the theory, I argue, by bring us essentially the same figure with the same (lack of) skin textures in two new and different poses — something that was pretty trivial to do in Poser-type software. Note that someone has superimposed standard anatomical images from Gray’s Anatomy:

Also at the same link (not shown here for reasons of aesthetic disdain) are four more images where someone has attempted to clad the same human model/figure with skin, and with clothing textures to stand in for underwear. (They may also have contorted the model manually, beyond the poses its underlying modeling was designed to support.) This effort is artistically much less successful. I’m being polite; the results are hideous, and the most plausible explanation is that the artist was trying to stretch a software art tool beyond both its capabilities and their own.

Very Large Conehead Zombie Surprise

You wouldn’t know it from this photo, but the role of the enormous bloody deformed conehead zombie creature is to save the nude lady from an evil mad scientist:

Eddie Carmel as a cone head zombie monster

Two different blog posts assure us that this is a publicity photo (no such scene actually appearing in the movie) for the 1962 mad science horror flick The Brain That Would Not Die:

The Brain That Would Not Die movie poster

The movie itself is in the public domain and is viewable at the Internet Archive. More information about the film, including a detailed synopsis of the plot, is available at Wikipedia.

The monster-conehead-zombie was played by Eddie Carmel, a 7-foot, 3-inch tall giant known as “The Jewish Giant”. One website about him offers a tiny and watermarked version of this photo that has been cropped less than any of the others available on the web. (Although the clothing and bodies below the “Giants And Girls” legend appear crudely Photoshopped-in, the model’s belly button looks possibly original, indicating that there’s just a smidge more of the original photo in this version.)
