Oztangles is a renderer who seems to have always been around but he's scarcely represented here at mitchmen with just a solitary (but memorable) post in the 'Milking Factory' series in 2020. This retrospective looks back over his career to try and set that omission straight.

| Oztangles - Get Warm |
He paints this street dweller with an unexpectedly, well turned-out appearance.
Come and get warm indeed!
Rendering has come a long way since 2006, but Oz's technical skills were already apparent here in the grounding of his character with shadow and his clothing.

| Oztangles - Alleycats |
This image also has an back alley setting and a very cute protagonist.
Attractive faces are a notable feature of Oz's work and he doesn't shrink from body hair either!
Sexual encounters like this are a major strand in his work
 |
| Oztangles - Contemplating The Dildo |
It's hard to believe this image is from the same era. The clever use of light throws the two participants into sharp relief and it's a nicely balanced composition. This cutie has put himself into the hands of someone much more experienced and seems doubtful about what's coming his way next. The crumpled jock beneath him is a nice detail.
The older man looks familiar from the work of Ulf and MSSF, renderers do swap characters sometimes and Oztangles usually gives credits at his 'official' gallery at Renderotica.

| Oztangles - Mr P meets his match |
2008
 |
| Oztangles - Pleasure and Pain |
His trainee looks as though he might have read that seriousness too and is now wondering, half-excited, what he has gotten himself into. Fashionable is the word that describes him, the very antithesis of his unprepossessing new Master. His neatly coiffured hair and artfully styled beard and stubble mark him as a man who looks after himself, aware of his attractions and used to exploiting them, he looks professional, popular, successful. The man who has everything. Yet here he is, stripped naked, his expensive, fashionable clothing symbolically replaced by a slave's collar.
Having surrendered himself to this Top, he stands helplessly secured, arms spread wide in a heavy-duty wooden frame that would, and probably has, restrained much stronger men than he. There is no going back now, he faces torments, whose nature he can try to imagine but their intensity remains an unknown. Uncertainty and nervousness shows in his face as he winces from the initial squeezing of his nipples, it's the trivial, introductory handshake of pain.
This is a great picture.

| Oztangles - Taking Him To The Edge 3 |
I believe the man being trained in the picture above is part of the Mr P series and here he is again working on a very nice sub of his own. If his outfit is flamboyant, his restraint apparatus is out of this world, indisputably stylish, futuristic and no doubt incredibly expensive. Very much in keeping with the persona I outlined just above. It's a matter of taste whether you prefer the traditional styles of restraint but the tentacle-like entwinement of the arms and legs in this device are highly erotic in their own right and must impress the subs no end.

| Oztangles - Bench Press |
A new erotic adventurer appears in Oz's art in this year, 'Angel' who haunts gyms and locker rooms, seeking out opportunities for sex with the athletes who pass through in pursuit of satisfying physical exercise and sporting excellence.
Angel's advances are made boldly, openly seducing men in the middle of their workout and unruffled if anyone else walks in on them. In the sequel to this image the muscle head at the door follows Angel to the locker room and plunders his ass, kneeling on the floor.
