Gyaku Xryona - Licking Ancient Armpits

This artist specialises picking out the erotic moments and contacts created during close combat, both accidental and deliberate. This is one of the best depictions of armpit licking humiliation I have seen, bringing out the intimacy and conscious effort required by the defeated man to comply with his forfeit for being defeated. The integration of the two separate characters into a cohesive image of intimacy like this is not easy in any art style, AI is the just latest medium to regularly fail this test, but this photoshopped(?) image is convincing where it matters. 

Gyaku Xryona - Loser Punishment

The victim is, of course, the indefatigable Chris Redfield, whose bulging biceps and military cut are a never-ending source of pleasure for us and now, a new master. His enthusiastic compliance with the humiliation here seems to have even surprised his opponent. Chris has gone off-piste to challenge a none-too-jolly, green giant summoned from the legends of antiquity. I suppose his green skin does suggest some sort of bio-hazard credentials, but how they come to be fighting over the survival of mankind in an wrestling empty arena is more elusive.

Gyaku Xryona - Breaking Some Backs

Chis is put through the mincer here by a different opponent, Miguel, who has a more conventional (and more attractive) appearance. The fiery inferno seen in the background suggests a suitably post-apocalyptic setting, the world going up in flames unnoticed by the protagonists.

The back-breaker holds are one of wrestling's special gifts to homoerotic sadism. However, in real life this 'Rack' variant is often disappointing visually. That's partly because of humans innate flexibility and partly because the tormentor's own shoulders limit his scope for 'bending' his opponent. This picture works by defying those physical realities and showing Chis in an off-the-shoulder, elevated position where he can be subjected to more extreme stress. Although it's technically imperfect, it's highly effective.

Gyaku Xryona - Dry Them For Good

A surprising number of these contests end like this, so you have to wonder about Chris. The victor's instruction shown in the title seems incapable of fulfilment, even by the most avid of sweat consumers, but Chris goes for it energetically. Even in front of an audience witnessing his humiliating demise, he literally embraces his opponent with those mighty arms. But is this seductive move really a cunning distraction, rather than a weak submission? 

Gyaku Xryona - Jobber Lloyd Armstrong

This artist is not obsessed with Chris to the exclusion of all else. Lloyd Armstrong is not a real wrestler as far as I know but if he got onto the ring in his underpants like this I'd turn out to watch him. It bestows a sense of vulnerability on him from the start, as if he's just been accosted on his way to work, stripped of his suit and ordered into the ring without so much as a by-your-leave. His eyes tell the story.

Underpants like this are usually flimsy and rapidly lose their attractive tightness in any sort of encounter but these look nicely snug. The white seam design goes back to the 60's at least and the introduction of coloured panels was much ridiculed in those buttoned-up times. This modern version benefits from the fashionable grey colour and narrower seams compared with the older prototypes.

Gyaku Xryona - Jobber Hottest

Gyaku Xryona - Jobber Hottest Torture

A back-breaker round the back of the head seems to be one answer to the 'fulcrum width' problem, although the artist is bending reality again, as well as the poor jobber, by presenting him in this super-alluring helplessness. In his story, this is a point of submission but I have doctored out the 'flash' bearing that information to improve the image itself.

Gyaku Xryona - Cage v Redfield 01

Chris Redfield looks very young in this image and very shocked by the archetypal, low blow from 'Johnny Cage'. The depiction of his agonised expression and muscular physique can't be faulted. The red hued sky behind provides an ominous backdrop.

Gyaku Xryona - Cheating - Breaking

The characterisations of these two wrestlers is equally attractive with Dante's muscular back sparing his blushes as he gets the same sucker's punch from Johnny Cage, this time between the legs from behind.

Gyaku Xryona - Neck Crank 02

Dante, like Chis, is a perennial loser in Gyaku Xryona's fight universe. The terrifying 'Madruk' puts him in a devastating neck crank here. Another convincing integration of the two men produces a marvellous impression of Dante's helplessness and a great view of his back.

Gyaku Xryona - Crack

It actually looks as if he is bouncing off the knee of his oversized opponent at this point on his way to the canvas. That knee is high enough off the ground to have severely limited his ability to break the fall with his feet. An Aquarium supplies another novel, picturesque venue.

Gyaku Xryona - Dragon Sleeper 02

Another Superhero meets his match, with the helpless indignity of the bent-back neck hold being augmented by the humiliation of a face wash inside a sweaty armpit. This hold can be made a lot more stressful, but the hero's awkwardly braced legs make this preliminary position very embarrassing for him. His suit offers up a sexy, tempting target.

Gyaku Xryona - Head Scissors With A Sexy View

In this variant the embarrassed victim is engulfed by his opponent's crotch in a similar, off-balance position that's very difficult to escape from. He's probably too preoccupied by what's under his nose (balls!) to appreciate that his tormentor is not a monstrous giant but a very good-looking man. In some respects that's worse, but that's what makes this image special.

Gyaku Xryona - Naughty Chris

Chris reflects on another arousing day at the arena.

This artist doesn't do explicit images, not quite! For those who love the fight scenario, though, there's ample stimulation. In this age of AI over-perfection, it's remarkable how compelling these much simpler images can still be.
