| Spacron - Only One Euro a Minute |
The man in the foreground of this picture is one of the sexiest renders I've seen in a long time. The half-dropped cut-offs and exposed ass cheeks are a sight to behold with excellent, hairy detailing. He also has a great figure and his sweaty neck is almost as tempting as his ass. In dressing him, the artist has shown erotic insight into traditional masculinity and avoided the major pitfalls of the rendering technique. The ordinariness of the two other figures underlines how just exceptional this creation is.
The artist's concept of a 'relief arcade' is sexy too, probably not unique but it's a well-constructed realisation that might translate to a Milking Factory scenario. The price for this 'ride' seems to be a wry comment on the endurance of the average man, or perhaps it's a tribute to the coaxing powers of the milk machine. The public nudity and exposure which using it entails would also be a spur to many ordinary men. For us there's a corresponding voyeuristic aspect to the image, being able to observe these half-dressed men engrossed in important, intimate matters unaware of how interesting they look.

| Spacron - Just Another Shower Scene |
Hairiness (and ignorance of it's appeal) is also a feature of this image which isn't really a shower scene but hints more at straight seduction in the locker room. The cheeky boy making a play is not exactly being rejected by his target whose expression seems to be more puzzled than annoyed. He's dry, so the implication is that he's about to shower in his (conservative) underwear for the sake of modesty, just like the chap in the background. He probably doesn't realise that wet, clinging underwear can be more alluring to lurking predators than nudity itself. Perhaps that's what his friend is explaining. He doesn't look like a predator, but he does look determined to get those pants off! As their eyes meet there's a nice bit of sexual tension.

| Spacron - Girlfriend's Panties |
Here, Spacron has managed to infuse a straightforward, beefcake pose with some interesting fetish overtones. Even in this day and age, there is still something of a shock when a man is seen wearing lingerie, especially one who has broad, muscular shoulders and chunky, hairy legs which seem to indicate just how male he is.
This man is sufficiently confident of his sexuality that he's prepared to wear female panties in a public, all-male place where sexual modesty seems to be the norm (witness the wearing of underpants in the shower, see also above). His lacy, girlie panties are nicely depicted but not overly feminised so they don't seem to compromise his masculinity, they don't suggest he's trying to be a woman.
Rather, the title seems to imply that he's straight and not only likes to wear lingerie but gets off on wearing intimate garments that belong to his girlfriend (we don't know whether it's with or without her knowledge, nor the state of their cleanliness for that matter, but that's another story altogether).

| Spacron - Ron's Massage |
Another understated image showing 3 hunky men undressing in preparation for a visit to 'Ron's Massage' upstairs. It's a great underwear image. Actually it isn't clear if the one on the right is taking off his slip - implying nudity is demanded - or climbing back into it having been 'done'. Perhaps even he's changing into a 'special', skimpy one Ron has provided - ostensibly so that their own clothes don't get oily.
The two on the left seem like buddies wanting to taste this experience together, a sort of mini 'stag' do. We can only speculate about what sort of experience Ron provides, but it seems like word has got around. I quite like the idea that they have to leave their clothes (and money and phones!) downstairs when they venture up and put themselves in his hands. It creates an ideal scenario for abduction or enslavement fantasies.
This picture has an unusual 'inside out' composition where the characters face away from each other. This means it's difficult to tell whether they are connected in the narrative here, or simply modest or just ships passing in the night.

| Spacron - Betting We Dare |
There are similar ingredients in this image. Two good-looking men are undressing, seemingly because someone has dared them to. The difference is that this is a public space and the figures in the background seem to suggest that the scene takes place somewhere in the Middle East* which is not noted for it's tolerance of public nudity. So there seems a real possibility that these two will shortly be hauled off to a grimy cell to face the questions of the local Police.
This prank does imbue these lads with a certain laddish character and spirit, the sort we often associate with celebrating sports teams. Their foolishness is part of their charm. Unfortunately that won't cut much ice with the powers-that-be and if it's discovered that their actions have been fuelled by alcohol, well, severe punishment is a distinct possibility and since they appear to have lost their passports, negotiating their release may take quite some time!
* It's possible that the location is a European place that just happens to be popular with Arab tourists. The signage is all in English and German with no sign of Arabic script. The shopping arcade looks just like Covent Garden but that design could probably be found in any country in the world these days. I prefer to think that these boys are visiting further afield and have just made a big mistake!

| Spacron - Valentines Day (Who brought the dope?) |
Since this is an all-male, Valentine's day party with love tokens all around, we can probably assume these men are gay and not a rogue rugby team celebrating after their girlfriends have gone home. A ménage a trois is also an intriguing possibility but it's hard to image an erotic outcome to this scene. Whatever the case, they are taking advantage of an excuse (any excuse!) to party with their friends.
The artist has used another outward-facing composition here. We can see they are partying together but this disconnected composition illustrates how they are in separate worlds of their own at his particular moment.

| Spacron - Soccer Boys |
This is a more conventional view of romance, one that is sadly rare for most gay men. The sporting setting and all that it implies about such men, gives any encounter like this a homoerotic edge. These two seem to be conversing about No.7's cock (and even if they are not, they probably are!). His rolled up shirt seems quite provocative and the standing man's hand itching to make a grab. There's no sense that either of them are overly shy or modest about such matters. Notice that their knees are just touching (on the inside too), it's the universal language for expressing sexual interest to those sensitive enough to recognise it. Maybe No. 7's right hand, which we can't see, is about to make contact too. More realistically in a place like a locker room, they are manoeuvring clumsily towards a date.
I love Spacron's bold use of clothing and admire it too because it is often a tricky area for renderers, getting them to follow body shapes but not too closely and not everywhere. No 7's attractive pec shaping avoids the dreaded 'painted-on' look and his sleeves and socks look just right. However the bottom hem of his shirt which encircles his torso should look similar to the arms, a gentle curve of rucked up fabric around the body. That's really a matter of observation which all artists must practice. Even clothes off the body can be problematic, often ending up 2-dimensional and flat. Those shown here work well.
