BlackProf - The Attack |
This dramatic image is part of a series by the artist 'BlackProf'. It shows a young man attacked whilst working on his computer by an intruder dressed all in black. The unusual, skewed viewpoint creates a striking off-balance effect and is typical of action hero comic strips. The simultaneous tying up and gagging shown here would require a superhero to perform, but neatly abbreviates the picture sequence that follows.
.
BlackProf - Slung and Brung |
The unfortunate captive is tied up and carried off like a trophy.
It's a classic domination situation and nicely rendered.
The semi-realistic depiction of the figures lifts the image above frivolous cartoonery
.
BlackProf - Wrapped |
The captive is subjected to the frightening ordeal of being mummified
The motivation of the attack (and of this particular element in particular) is unclear,
just the slight touch of eroticism in the muscularity of both parties and the tied feet.
There's a striking inter-generational element in these images but the characterisation of the older man is difficult to pin down in Western Culture - more Captain Haddock than George Clooney.
However he's a familiar sight in the pages of Tagame so may present a more sinister image in Asia although the artist is in Italy according to his Deviant Art profile.
BlackProf -Grabbed |
This marvellous capture scene features a pair of malevolent dwarves as abductors. These chaps are a recurring motif in BlackProf's work providing an unfathomable but respectable screen for their antisocial behaviour. I don't usually respond to fantasy subjects but I think this device works quite well in creating and attacker that's not easly to evade. Very nice face here.

BlackProf - Carried Away |
This captive appears to be the same character as the man abducted by the 'man in black'.
The humiliating incongruity of this scenario speaks for itself, notice the bare feet again
BlackProf - My Abduction by the Dwarves - 1 |
The same villains appear in this set with a different, younger looking victim.
You'll notice that the clothing style doesn't vary very much
and it's calculated to be as tantalising but un-erotic as it's possible to be.
BlackProf - My Abduction by the Dwarves - 2 |
This startlingly effective image introduces an totally unexpected ingredient in the form of a bridle head-harness with gag. There's a slight drift towards cartoonery in the facial expression as though to emphasis that this is just a jokey fantasy. The dwarf standing on the victim's back conveys the impression of forceful overpowering much more effectively than a conventional human character would
BlackProf - My Abduction by the Dwarves - 4 |
There's usually a spanking moment in these sequences, this one seems particularly violent.
Sadly the target area does not recieve the same level of attention from the artist.
BlackProf - My Abduction by the Dwarves - 6 |
There's a chilling threat about the scaffold-like structure being hauled into view here.
It hasn't gone un-noticed by the captive either although the boggled eyes are a bit much.
Placing it in the background cleverly conveys the sense of it appearing from nowhere.
The captive's shapely pecs are a hint of what might have been.

BlackProf - Starting With Silence |
This reworking of the same theme reverts to the goatee-bearded gentleman we started with.
I admire the dramatic energy the artist manages to capture in these images.
But the desert of sexuality continues........
.
BlackProf - Stripped Down |
Until now! The dwarves unexpectedly strip their captive of his clothes.
He proves to have a more impressive booty than you might have expected.
The portray of nudity is carefully crafted to be conventionally decent
But notice how the dwarf at the rear seems to be finding the revealed area interesting.
BlackProf - Boxing The Boy |
The captive is comprehensively gagged, bound and booted into a tiny box (resmbling a safe).
There's even a hint of testicular interest here, stretching the boundaries of allowable nudity.
The generous backsides in these last pictures give a clue to the artist's real interests.
BlackProf isn't really a gay artist and it shows in his work, but his ideas are imaginative and have a distinct edge which stokes the viewers thoughts. He treads a narrow line between realism and caricature - imperfectly sometimes from my point of view, but his comic-based technique makes up for that by conjuring up dramatic and energetic struggles that conventional art simply cannot achive. His sometimes-slavish adherence to nudity norms is perfectly understandable, but leaves one wanting more, especially have been teased by the glimpses in the images just above.
There's an extensive gallery of BlackProf at Deviant Art but you won't find these pictures in it, instead it is filled with the female equivalents. If you are not repelled by that subject-matter you will find more interesting images and ideas there and discover that this artist has a much better understanding of what makes a woman sexually attractive than he does a man. That is perhaps reflected in the exaggerated bottoms in the male nude pictures above which don't quite correspond to their fully clothed physiques and (generally speaking) don't achieve quite the same erotic effect in men as they do in women.
However I fear that any hope of his male art developing further may go unfulfilled. The near-uniformity of his male clothing in the four different sets presented here contrasts vividly with the wildly imaginative garb of his female abductees which he cleverly manipulates to produce added erotic effect, a feature almost totally absent from his male subjects. He doesn't even put his signature on male images and recently published a statement at Deviant Art saying he was going to concentrate exclusively on male subjects but it turned out to be just an April 1st spoof.
Make what you will of that.
There's also a BlackProf Patreon page that promises nothing but girls
You can find the set featuring a bridle-style gag at englishkinks
