Shanghai'd Sailor - 11 (AI-Cartoonized) |
The posting of Royale Studio's storyette, 'Shanghai'd Sailor' at the Royale blog/gallery is now about two thirds complete. It's a story that has largely been forgotten in the last 40 years or so but recovered now from vintage beefcake magazines. It tells of the kidnapping and enslavement of a British Sailor in the West Indies. I'm progressively adding images every few days as I clean them up.
The image above is a cartoonised version of image 11 from the series depicting the slave auction which seals the Sailor's fate. I'm somewhat obsessed with this gadget at the moment but it does create interesting imagery. In this case it has given the participants better physiques and clothing and paradoxically, it has a slightly more realistic feel, bringing it to life, albeit in a very arty way.
