You may be surprised to learn that there is are men all around the world who create images and/or stories about men hurting men.
Worldwide Community of Artists —
It is very easy to search online and find artists who create visual works similar to the styles, themes and narratives for which Madeira Desouza is known. All the artists listed here owe a debt of gratitude to three influential gay male artists in the twentieth century.
**A man from Europe known by his pseudonym Tom of Finland (1920 – 1991) profoundly influenced the creation of likenesses of men during the late twentieth century. His hand-drawn works of homoerotic art emphasize hypermasculine traits and behaviors of male characters which he created following his eyewitness observations of men and their appearances and intimate behaviors during the era of Nazi Germany.
**American George Quaintance (1902 – 1957) is remembered for his hand-drawn art depicting idealized men with muscular bodies in the nude.
**Domingo Orejudos, a prolific male artist of color from Chicago (1933 – 1991) used two pen names, Etienne and Stephen. His hand-drawn masculine gay male likenesses still influence artists to this day.
Alternatives to Gay Stereotyping — These three male artists chose to create masculine characters who were shown finding sexual pleasures in other men. Taken together, their works counter negative stereotyping of gay men. Instead of reinforcing what the dominant straight culture perceives to be true of gay men—weak feminized males with effeminate speech and provocative affectations—the gay male characters created by Tom of Finland, Quaintance and Orejudos depict icons of strongly powerful masculinity along with mental and physical strengths.
The Present Day — Here is a list curated by Madeira Desouza of Las Vegas providing links to artists from all over the globe. This list can guide your explorations into the fascinating word of 3D digital art creations (versus AI renders which are not digital art) focused upon male characters minus anti-gay stereotyping.
Censorship of Artists — The curated list below contains links to DevantArt which engages in artist censorship. Selected works of artists can be deleted without warning by DeviantArt and there is no genuine appeal process. Most people (other than the artist) never notice this because the images just disappear from DeviantArt and are never seen on DeviantArt again. Artists are powerless to fight back against this corporate authoritarian censorship. Artists can leave DeviantArt as a protest. Doing that will cost artists certain promotional value that DeviantArt does provide for artists and their works. It’s a trade-off for artists. If you are not an artist but are instead a viewer of the works of artists, then you can choose to support this kind of censorship of artists. Just remember that DeviantArt treats artists with deliberate disrespect whenever DeviantArt censors artist’s works with no notice or any appeal process.
