>>184482I dig you there, espically the line about “fleshed out males”. (To an extent of course; blank slates are greatly appreciated, most notably when a couple starts plowing in the sheets, better immersion imo)
It’s also not that Salt or other artists don’t have straight stuff that gets my goat (they do; I savor those tidbits like a fine merlot) It just seems that whenever a good opportunity pops up for a guy in the piece, we get a bust and a line shoved in the corner, maybe some disembodied hands if we’re lucky. The same thing can be said for both OCs and the licensed characters Salt (and many others) do.
The best example I can think about is a few of his “My Dress Up Darling” pics and maybe that one off-shoot he did with that girl gaining weight at the beach (that one’s probably more gender neutral, but a man can dream.)
It would have been fine eaten’ to get Gojo looking as shocked as Marylin about her growing gut, same with seeing some dude slowly lose that domineering edge over his girlfriend as she gets more and more into her own growth. Alas, ‘‘twas not meant to be.
This Yor pic though is a good example of what I’m talking about here when it come to what I’m hoping Salt does more of.
I also do understand why you only tend to get just the tubbster or two gay tubbsters most the time though (or it at least seems that way) The first being that’s what people like (up till recently that is lol). The second being the focus of a bbw art piece is the bbw, so skinny partners tend to be more of an accessory if that makes sense.
TLDR: I wish salt drew some skinny partners to accompany his big ladies more often, dudes in particular. The pic attached is a good example of what I’m hoping for more of later down the line. I’m not demanding that Salt draw hetero couples, in fact I understand why he doesn’t do it that often, but I still wish we got a few every couple weeks or so.
P.S. If Salt doesn’t make up some male OCs (which he most likely isn’t going to do) I wish that he could tack on some more thin/muscly guys with poll characters. Good example from another artist being that Baikien piece BeltBuster did a while back, not the most involved man of all time, but by God, that just makes the piece in my book. The more recent Tomo-Chan pic by Belt as well also shows some of the gripes I have the man in straight couples art.
Also, did twink evolve to a two-way term when I wasn’t looking? Urban dictionary done two-timed me one time too often for me to trust it. I like words (hence the wordy, novella I’ve laid before you) and I want to keep pace with modern slang, dumb as it can be.
