As anyone in the fashion can attest, it’s all about the accessories. Lokman Lam expertly applies this sartorial secret throughout his gallery, as he transforms a shapely young woman in a simple bikini into a science fiction masterwork time and time again. A scrap of armor, demonic horns, or an elegant cape is all it takes… plus a keen eye for a dramatic pose and interesting angle.

Mr Lam is not, however, limited to beachwear, and has an exceptional talent for crafting classic fantasy females, including human sorceresses and elves of the light and dark variety.

Careful examination of his gallery will reveal the occasional fanart homage to videogame and anime heroines, richly illustrated in his unique style, but you’re most likely to return for Lokman’s next futuristic adaption of the classic bathing beauty.

What ineffable quality do elves possess that so often makes them the subjects of bondage and humiliation at the hands of human artists? Perhaps an understandable envy of their immortality or ethereal beauty is to blame. The true cause is most likely the insufferable arrogance exhibited in their dealings with the world of humans. Thankfully, we have the tortured imaginings of Taro to help satisfy our wicked urges to bring these “high” elves so very low.

A wide variety of traditional and nonstandard techniques are used in the pursuit of fey anime shame, including a plentiful supply of rope and the judicious application of translucent tentacles and oversized sex toys. The subjects of Taro’s artful attentions are also occasionally human or unbound, but they are always a scant few seconds away from a life-changing erotic encounter. Fortunely, we’ve been invited along for the ride.

The first human encounters with the elusive fairy has been lost to the mists of history, yet it seems certain that these humans experiences were enhanced with a plentiful supply of alcohol. To celebrate this fanciful contribution of distilled spirits, Alain Viesca has created a series of playful illustrations, coupling a fetching fey with a regional social lubricant.

More recently, Mr. Viesca has been exploring the Chinese zodiac in depth, and its permanent pigmentary placement on the naked flesh of attractive Asian women in particular. While his tattooed tributes are certainly pleasing, we anticipate this year’s animal — the ox — with some small level of trepidation.

Whatever the challenge, Alain will certainly prevail in his continued pursuit of the perfect female form.

Thanks to the undeniable artistic mojo of Matt Dixon, we need not wonder about the outcome of a three-way collision between the worlds of cartoons, horror, and our own little slice of reality.

Mr. Dixon’s disjointed dystopia is rendered in dark shadows and vibrant colors, and is peopled largely with beautiful characters of singular bad-ass attitude, be they post-apocalyptic, vampyric, zombified, demonic or otherwise.

Witness Matt’s humorous, hyper-sexed fusions of the fantastic and the mundane and rejoice: Your impending doom will certainly be the most interesting thing to occur in your otherwise listless existence.

We can only assume it was the perfect storm of riding a pop-culture wave months gone coupled with the prospect of not having to create any new clothing that lead our friend Johnathan Darkly to de-zombify his spokesmodel Bianca in favor of a decidedly feminine take on Watchmen’s Dr. Manhattan.

He assures us that the good doctor’s diminutive hero mask maintains Bianca’s streak of wearing spectacle-like facial appliances, and that she’s promised not to compromise the intrinsic field of any web visitors. We’ve also been told to expect another doctor on Jon’s “lite” side web gallery in the coming weeks.

Now, if Mr. Darkly could only return to the good work of making new 3d lovelies — or even a guy for once — in his own uncompromising style.

Thanks to the tireless work of one dedicated artist, we can safely say that there is no medieval or middle earth setting cannot be improved with the presence of a well-rounded woman. Alejandro Gutiérrez Franco is that artist, and his wide-ranging wild things are simply a beauty to behold. With hints of a woodcut or naive aesthetic, he creates lush immersive environments for his leggy ladies.

The fantasy figures Mr. Franco creates are unabashedly feminine, yet undeniably in charge of their surroundings. Be they human, elfin or something else entirely, their captivating curves and wicked weaponry invariably combine with seductive yet deadly results.

Not satisfied with simple portraits, Alex has provided character designs for a line of feral female miniatures, and has lately turned his artistic attentions to the upcoming graphic novels Badlands and Dark Violet. It seems that there is no medium that cannot be improved by his captivating creations as well.

Many would be alternately interested and afraid to hear about a science fiction softcore porn series that’s recently appeared on Cinemax: After Dark. Doug Brode’s Forbidden Science wrestles with the impact of cutting-edge technological advances, and illustrates how their discovery and abuse will lead to lots of hot, steamy sex.

The series follows the trysts and trials of the employees and products of 4Ever Innovations, a corporation involved in the design and production of a wide variety of tech tropes, including clones, androids, brain backups and memory manipulation. In between the social commentary and office intrigue, lots of male/female interfacing gets underway, at times with the aforementioned clones and androids.

Sadly for folks looking for actual science fiction naughtiness, clones and androids look alarmingly like normal humans. The  kinkiest set piece from the first few episodes features a husband and mistress cheating on — and on top of — a sleeping clone of his dead spouse. Ultimately, the series seems more about strange fetishes than actual science fiction.

There is a serious attempt at dealing with the ramifications of life- and world-altering advances in biomedical science, but there is no new unexplored territory here. Viewers seeking lots of near-explicit carnal capers will be pleased, but those hoping for a lusty version of Better off Ted will want to leave this future for others to explore.

Experienced concept artists often render their subjects with an efficiency usually reserved for draftsmen and architects, defining muscle and bone with determined strokes and sparse lines. Carlo Arellano exemplifies this minimalist philosophy, yet his figures are often richly detailed and vibrantly alive in spite of the seemingly sketchy textures and occasional hinted limbs.

Mr. Arellano’s portfolio is a ragtag band of rogues and warriors from history and unhistory, plus an unusual assemblage of ferocious alien monstrosities and the sassy pinup girls who love them. Clues to the lives led by these people can be found in their accessories and hardware, be they battle axes or bionic limbs. Each portrait tells a story not only of individual history, but strength of character and purity of purpose.

Any viewer with an appreciation of the history of cartons has eventually come to the realization that their favorite cultural icons are demonstrably immune by the ravages of age. It’s highly likely that the cartoon characters of your youth are still depicted precisely as they were when you were a child. Thankfully, there is one dedicated artist working to remedy this great temporal injustice, and his name is Wagner.

Many cartoon characters are just too young to experience sexual desire, so serious maturation is in order. Billy and Mandy, have undergone intensive Wagnerization, and now — older and wiser — have a few more options to explore in their tumultuous relationship. Members of the Teen Titans, however, needed only a slight nudge to sexual maturity, but are still quite recognizable in their more voluptuous forms. Still other cartoon creations like Elastigirl, are obviously sexually active, and simply need be seen in a subtly different light to strike lust in the hearts of men.

Whatever your animated pleasure, be certain that Mr. Wagner has mined the property for it’s hidden potential of current and future carnal enjoyment, as appropriate.

While it’s quite easy to see that Nick Deligaris has an accomplished career in the fields of commercial illustration and 3d modeling, the casual viewer of his site should feel no shame for being drawn to his enticing depictions of winged waifs and alluring angels.

Nestled delicately among the mighty warriors and mightier dragons, Mr. Deligaris has given these delicate creatures the powers of fantasy flight from all manner of the animal kingdom: feathery birds, leathery bats and gossamer insects are all called upon to grace these lovely ladies bare shoulders. They, in turn, grace us with their beauty.

Nearly all of the people you have ever encountered strive to be fine, upstanding citizens — Good in the classical sense. But we all instinctively know the one crushing weakness of Good: it’s horribly boring. Tomasz Jedruszek offers a deep catalog of works that is a constant revelation of all that is violent, decadent and exciting.

With somber lighting and dramatic points of view, these pieces have largely served to powerfully illustrate the more sinister roleplaying games. While he covers a wide variety of settings and subjects, dangerous, disturbing visions of feminine grace are merely one symptom of Mr. Jedruszek’s dark world view. Many of these most most sensual subjects are members of ancient vampire clans, but his portraits of the living are no less complex or arousing.

Whatever the status of their immortal soul, Morano’s simmering women are certainly capable of anything.

Humor and sex are undeniably life’s most desirable pursuits, so it’s a rare treat to find both in one convenient location. A new website simply titled Oglaf.com is one such lucky find.

The most captivating comics involve a seductive sorceress and her eager-to-please apprentice. One wonders if his overly sexual tasks and encouters are truly character building lessons, or simply cruel jokes for his mistress’ amusement. We eagerly await the answers to these — and other — questions raised by this tantalizing taste of adventures to come.
