I have often wrestled with the concept of gay 3D art pictures being in the SpunkToons site. When I first launched the site a few years ago, I wanted the site to be all inclusive, covering many of the different sub-genres within the gay cartoon porn niche. As such, after some research, I also included gay 3D art pinup sets, and over the last few years, commissioned more than 100 sets of 3D art pinups for the members area of the site.
However, as I sit and look at the site now, and where I want it to go, I can’t help but go back to my original question, does gay 3D art belong in a gay cartoon themed site? From the artistic point of view, there is much more skill and talent required to draw anime hentai, yaoi hentai, or gay comics than to compose 3D art pics. Most artists working in the gay cartoon art field use hand drawn, hand inked images that are then scanned into a computer and with great care, colored with programs such as adobe photoshop. Artists that make 3D pinups, while still artists on some level, use mainly posing type software that take wire frames of people already built, or they buy prefabbed stock people images and adjust their skin tones, clothing, and background settings as they use the software to pose them into the action they wish to portray in the image.
As you can see from the images here, the detail in 3D art that is now available, seems to be striving to get the picture closer and closer to reality. Cartoon artists, however, seem to explore more “what if” fantasies, emphasising the fantasy by using techniques such as making muscles overly muscular, or cocks outrageously larger. The two types of art seem dissimilar in their purpose, one trying to approach reality and the other trying to explore the outer boundries of it.
I’m leaning toward removing 3D pinup art from the SpunkToons site, or at least keeping what is already there and scheduled in the site updates and putting it in an archive section. For me, 3D art, while nice and quite erotic as you can see from these images, doesn’t really belong in the same site with other forms of gay cartoon art. What do you think? Should I continue commissioning 3D art pinup sets for future site updates or should I just leave what is there in the archives and focus the site mainly on the different styles of gay cartoon art?
