Tumblr favorite #1834: Monster jalopy

Original post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Δ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Δ 002 – Monster Jalopy.” Here is what Bacchus found.

According to this post at Comics Alliance, the apparently-untitled artwork seen here was drawn by George Webber for sale at a 2010 fundraiser called “The Monsters Project” for the benefit of the Comics Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF). This item at Sketchcollectors.com is in accord, attributing the art to “George Webber – NoCashComics.com” and calling it a “Sketch Card for Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, October 2010 Monsters fundraiser”.

The NoCashComics URL currently forwards to Storage 21 Arts, offering similar work by “gWebber”. The artist explains:

I’m a cartoonist, painter and illustrator working out of a 5 x 7 foot storage unit, number 21 to be exact (thus the name “Storage 21 Arts”) in the second most expensive city in the U.S (San Francisco).

I’ve been drawing and painting for over 40 years and my work often has elements of cartooning and illustration creating images that often have a “Story Telling” element to them.

And while my artworks have been featured in many national magazines and are proving to be popular among collectors of “Lowbrow” and “Kustom Culture” artworks, every day is a struggle to keep it moving forward and to continue making art.

But with enough fans and supporters I can keep creating the things you have come here to enjoy.

Tumblr favorite #1833: Monsters

Original post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Δ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Δ 001 – Monsters.” Here is what Bacchus found.

This artwork is the blown-up upper-right quadrant of a work that appears on Flickr attributed as “Monsters by Michael Lark”. It’s unclear whether “Monsters” here is intended to serve as a title or as a description:

Although the attribution on Flickr could not be specifically confirmed, it nonetheless seems highly plausible. Michael Lark is a prolific and long-serving comic book artist whose FaceBook photo albums contain a great deal of art that is quite similar in style to these Monsters. The one-word “Lark” attribution offered at the source Tumblr is in accord.

Tumblr favorite #1832: Rocket Man

Original image here. This image was the subject of a pulp art re-creation by Lon Ryden and before that was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Γ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Γ 064 – Rocket Man.” Here is what Bacchus found.

This image is a cropped and cleaned portion of a painting by Alex Schomberg that appeared on the cover of the UK science fiction magazine Science Fiction Quarterly #24 in 1954, or perhaps 1952 per another source. There is an extremely high-resolution photo of the cover on Flickr:

Tumblr favorite #1831: Sewing her own seams

Original post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Γ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Γ 063 – Sewing Your Own Seams.” Here is what Bacchus found.

Although this Bride of Frankenstein themed artwork is sometimes to be found on Pinterest and elsewhere attributed to cartoonist Dan DeCarlo, that attribution appears incorrect. Cheesecake cartoonist and self-described pencil-jockey Rock Baker posted it to his blog under the title Preymates as part of a themed set of six cartoons with this explanation:

The idea was to do a series of Dan DeCarlo style horror-themed pinup cartoons. Jeff Austin and I have thus far completed these examples.

For interest, one of the other cartoons in the series features a sexy hooded executioner fielding pleas from four different chained men competing to be the next customer for her beheading ax.

Tumblr favorite #1830: Fantasy armor works!

This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Γ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Γ 062 – Fantasy Armor Really Works!.” Here is what Bacchus found.

Original post here. This image was uploaded to Imgur during the last week of July, 2014, and has subsequently exploded across all social media. Although there are nearly 500 results for it in Google Image Search alone, virtually all of these results appear to post-date the Imgur posting. No image credit was provided on Imgur by RedShotRonin, the uploader; and a look at his posting history does not suggest that he’s in the habit of posting his own work or claiming what he posts as such. As one commenter points out in the Imgur thread, it’s an update of a very old visual joke about fantasy armor for women that originally appeared in Dragon magazine for tabletop Dungeons and Dragons players. No older posting of this image or proper artist credit could be identified.

Tumblr favorite #1829: Alita’s self-pleasure

Original post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Γ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Γ 061 – Alita’s Pleasure.” Here is what Bacchus found.

This artwork is by the artist Hazyl, who has titled it (perhaps working with less-than-perfect English) Tuned Alita secret time. The artist writes:
Here is a special situation for Alita, relatively chaste character putting in a situation of sexual experiment. A first experience which seems to me possible with its body of ” tuned “. In your appreciation;)

Voici une mise en scène de gally, personnage relativement chaste auquel je me suis exercé à mettre dans une situation d’expérimentation sexuelle. Une première expérience qui me semble possible avec son corps de “tuned”. À votre appréciation 😉

From the comments on the artwork it becomes clear that the Alita depicted in the artwork is the titular cyborg Alita character from the Japanese manga series Battle Angel Alita. Her fan art depictions are numerous and varied; see, e.g., these 64 examples at Rule 34.

Tumblr favorite #1828: Candyspace

Original post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Γ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Γ 060 – Candyspace.” Here is what Bacchus found.

This image sources on Tumblr back to the artist’s blog, where it is titled “Candyspace” by artist Zoetica Ebb, and tagged “illustration” and “my work”. There’s a “taken with Instagram” caption which suggests it may be a filtered photograph of the author’s art, in support of which notion is the fact that a similar illustration appears as part of the “spacefriends sticker set” that is available for sale in the unlinkable shop on the artist’s web page. (Navigate Shop⇒Stickers⇒Spacefriends Stickers Set.)

Tumblr favorite #1827: Haunted laboratory

Original post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Γ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Γ 059 – Haunted Laboratory.” Here is what Bacchus found.

This artwork is cropped and cleaned cover art from the cover of the horror comic This Magazine is Haunted Vol. 2 #7 (1951). That link suggests that the identity of the cover artist is unknown to the comics-collecting world. Here’s the original cover:

A complete scan of the 10-page magazine may be found here.

Tumblr favorite #1826: Self service

Original post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Γ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Γ 058 – User Serviceable.” Here is what Bacchus found.

This artwork is identified at the Fembot wiki as work by the artist Sukabu. Danbooru has an artist info page for Sukabu including Pixiv, Tumblr, and Twitter links. Sukabu appears to be a prolific artist with a fondness for self-tinkering android girls. The Awesome Robo site says:

Sukabu isn’t shy about showing off his affinity for cyberpunk, having crafted an entire universe ins his mind comprised of more stylized Ghost In The Shell style cyborg heroines, in various stages of enhancement, tinkering about with various black market technologies to achieve their true potential. Despite the seemingly simplistic, cookie cutter anime style on the surface, replete with plenty of school girls and vocaloids, on a closer glance his work also exemplifies a deep love of industrial design and scifi that offer some rather interesting visual contrast between simple and detailed shapes. This mix of themes is just plain fun to look at, offering us a look into a strange futuristic world full of augmentations and cybernetic clutter.

Just by way of example, here’s a similar image from the Sukabu images at Danbooru:

Tumblr favorite #1825: She looks healthy enough

Original post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Γ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Γ 057 – She Looks Healthy Enough.” Here is what Bacchus found.

This sexy pinup artwork featuring a woman dressed as a schoolgirl getting checked with a stethoscope by a leering mad-scientist doctor is initialed with a stylized “MC” signature lower right. That is consistent with the credit found here to artist Massimo Carnevale. The artwork graced the cover of Italian fumetti magazine Skorpio #38 (25-9-2003):

Artist Massimo Carnevale appears to have an active art blog on Blogspot; it is here.
