In this edition of thoughts from l_b_i, I thought I would share some “shiny” artists. As my preference in art is generally of the NSFW variety and usually BDSM themes, you can expect the same from the links. This list is in no particular order.
Endium: He hasn’t been active in a few years. His art includes both Male and Female subjects. Much of his art features living latex, and other latex suits that bind the or transform wearer. Endium is also often credited with the dimension ring or D-Ring concept. That is a portal like device that can hide limbs in a pocket dimension or portal them somewhere else. When flash was active he made many interactive and non-interactive animations. Guardian-Hawk was a frequent commissioner, so lots of stories for art featuring his characters. He also has had a “bondage war” that usually features himself or Tiemeth
Croft: Very shiny work often erotic, but not explicit, Male and Female subjects. The source of latex and binding has different sources based on the series it is part of. Some series recently include camp shine, where victims are ensnared in an abandoned summer camp in the mountains, A D&D themed set, and hellbinder, saw, but with latex.
qundium: Often features goo, liquid latex, and transformation. Warning, Watersports is a frequent theme. Artwork is a similar in style to Endium
C91: Much more pinup style than the others listed. Generally featuring Female subjects.
tempestus_vulpis: A very different take on latex. Generally Male subjects. Their art has more texture than others, The latex doesn’t have the same “painted on rubber” look of many other artists.
Any shiny artists you want to share? Should I do more of these? You can always share at [email protected] and here is a list of all the yiffit communites.
These are some of my favorites that you haven’t listed. I pretty much only browse TF content
Rakisha/Tanraak does some of the best lighting and musculature work I know of, and prefers to define shapes and contours just through how they distort the shine on top of solid colors. Also a lot of cybernetics. Masterful work all around and the kind of artist I aspire to be.
Redflare500 does a lot of shiny clothing and inanimate TFs. It’s often creepy and uncanny but just enough to add to the excitement IMO.
Helixjack/Shinyhelix does a ton of goo content and is one of my older favorites. Over the last decade their art style has changed from being near Fox0808 to near Redflare.
Rhaenjarr is less on the TF side, more often does creatures that were shiny to begin with. When goo shows up it’s much more viscous and weighty than most other artists’ styles, and with more diffuse reflections like the material is closer to silicone. Very good with backgrounds and scene composition. Makes me wish I had more $ for commissions
