Achilles

The Jester's Favorite Game

After such a long delay I thought you deserved an especially naughty piece. I don't know why the idea of an evil tickling jester turns me on so much, but it just does. In "The Jester's Favorite Game" a poor prisoner is subjected to the horrible torment of feather edging, over and over and over again. Will he finally confess? Or will he be milked completely dry? I made a version with and without dialog for you. Enjoy!

A Sketch Update and a Life Update

You may have noticed I've recently fallen a bit behind and I think my loyal fans deserve a bit of an explanation. Before I do, I'm sharing a preview of the newest drawing featuring an old trope I can't help going back to. There's just something about the idea of an evil tickling jester that has always turned me on. Look for the finished drawing soon. It will be quite naughty.

When I started making tickle art again 2 1/2 years ago it was out of necessity. When the pandemic hit I had be...

Achilles Asylum: 1970s - Patient Log 1

With the influx of military funding in the 60s, foot tickling at the asylum began to be handled more by automated means. Advances in robotics allowed patients to be left with mechanical hands to drive them slowly more insane through foot tickles. For the patients who were specifically armpit ticklish, the doctors had found that the old-fashioned methods were often the best. There was something about the proximity of the doctors to their victims that increased their vulnerability, and it also ...

AI Tickle Monster Hands 1

A lot of people have made AI images of robotic hands tickling men but I thought it would be fun to make furry, friendly tickle monster hands instead. I like the idea of magic tickle hands that appear to tickle you silly whenever you need a good laugh. I made a bunch of these and for some reason I kept gravitating towards purple. I guess that's how I picture my tickle monster.

Rope Demo

One of the best parts of attending TKLfest has been getting to know my new friend @ropedraak. He's the Fest's current director, rope bondage expert and all-around sweet guy.

When he sent me a sexy image he thought would make good tickle drawing reference, I thought I'd insert him into the fantasy in a piece I call "Rope Demo".

Being more of a velcro cuffs guy myself, I realized I don't really draw complex rope bondage that often. It's a bit of a challenge for me, but I will try t...

Achilles Asylum: 1980s - Asylum Guards

It was necessary for the asylum to employ very large, burly men in order to escort (or drag) the patients to their daily sessions. As part of the training process for the very well-paid position, the guards had to undergo a session of their own so that they better understood why the patients put up such a fight. Some of the guards were required to go through this process annually as part of their performance review. It was whispered that it was because they had become 'favorites' of some of t...

AI James Bond 1

You get two AI experiments this week as this is an image I recently shared on DeviantArt and on Twitter. I have generally steered away from making celebrity images with Bing but I made an exception for a DA friend who made a few fun images for me featuring my cartoon crush Bluto. He mentioned he had tried to make images of Craig's Bond but hadn't had much luck. I decided to plug him into one of my asylum prompts and I got this image. I had to photoshop out a weird stray hand and I added the l...

AI Clowns 1

This one particular carny was someone everyone in the circus hated. He just had a bad attitude. It was the final straw when one night he got too handsy with one of the trapeze artists. After a typical night of too much drinking he passed out in his tent. As he slowly woke he found himself in unfamiliar surroundings. He soon realized he couldn't move and he was tilted backwards, his shoes and socks missing. He was just figuring out he was tied to a chair when two of the biggest, meanest lookin...

Dragon Knightmare

I've been on a real anime kick lately and that's mostly because I took on a few commissions awhile ago and they were all anime/video game character related. The next drawing will be a bit more on the side of realism.

Kaden had tried everything imaginable to drive the dragon soul out of Davion except for that most insidious of all torments: tickling! He traps him in stocks and chains and summons mystical (mystickle?) dragon claws to scratch at his helpless soles while he gently probes h...

Achilles Asylum: 1960s Army Visit

In 1962 the US army sent a delegation to experience the asylum's methods first hand. The mission was top secret and there were no volunteers. Colonel Bradley had to order several privates to accompany him to experience this "tickle torture". Both severely shaken and incredibly impressed, the group reported back to the government what they had experienced. Everything changed for the institution after this visit, as a huge amount of government funding allowed them to expand and develop equipmen...

AI Medieval Dungeon 1

The handsome young prince lashed to the wall of the dungeon mouthed off one too many times to his jailers, and the torn shirt exposing his midsection gave the most evil of them a sudden inspiration. He approached the young upstart and gave him a quick poke in the ribs. The prince reacted involuntarily with a jump, his eyes widening in surprise. "Hey, this one is TICKLISH!" the wicked man called out to his cohorts. "Let's entertain our guest for a few hours!". Before the prince could even cry ...

Apollo Injustice

A special member commissioned this sequel to the Phoenix Wright drawing I did awhile back. In that one, Phoenix was tickled by his...um...ARCH enemy, but in this one he takes on the role of tickler! Apollo Justice is joining Wright's law firm but first he must endure a peculiar form of hazing on his very ticklish feet! Wright delights in teasing his apprentice's very cute toes in what I had to call "Apollo Injustice". Apollo tries to object, but he is overruled. I provided both a socked and b...

Achilles Asylum: 1970s Doctor Ridgell

The doctors at the asylum were known for their fetishistic sadism, but it seems that now and then even one of them could take things too far. Doctor Ridgell was one of the most effective foot ticklers with a penchant for the mummification style of bondage that made bare feet especially vulnerable. He also had a tendency to request shifts that involved a particular kind of patient. Rumor had it that Ridgell had been tickled mercilessly by his father. Perhaps he was living out a revenge fantasy...

A little behind...

Hey folks! Sorry for the delay. Real-word work suddenly got very busy out of the blue over the past 2 weeks. New drawing and new asylum piece coming soon!

AI Gitchy Goo 2

When the young explorer first spotted the strange orange substance dripping from the cave ceiling, he was so fascinated he didn't notice the large pile of it coalescing behind him. As he reached up to touch it, it suddenly engulfed both of his hands and held them firmly above his head. To his horror, puddles of the substance began to run between his legs and strange human-like arms and hands began to form from them. As the wiggling orange fingers began to approach his exposed belly and armpi...

FootMenNYC Totally Tickling 2

Hey gang! Here's a little fun bonus for you, since I've been running a little behind lately. The last FMNYC (Foot Men NYC) Totally Tickling party was a big success, so they've decided to do it quarterly. The next one is on June 23rd. If you want to go, reserve early because there is limited space! Visit the site listed on the image for more info.

This is an example of creating a new drawing by just changing out some elements of the older one. I flipped the characters around, swapped a f...

Ike's Training

Greil had put Ike through many difficult challenges in his mercenary training, but none quite as grueling as the Trial of Tickling. Ike had to remain motionless while Greil lighting scratched his exposed armpits while magic feathers delicately danced around his other exposed sensitive regions. Ike was especially sensitive between his toes. Only his competitive cockiness allowed him to endure, but for how long?

Achilles Asylum: 1920s Patient Log 1

The investigators found hundreds of pages of patient treatment logs, organized by year and month, that documented the sessions performed at the Asylum. Often they were grouped by similar kinds of treatment. Men with ticklish torsos were most often worked over by two doctors at once, while men with ticklish feet were mainly immobilized and set upon by a single, fiendish physician.

AI Don Turtelli 3

I happen to love first person perspective images where you're looking at the tickler. In this image, the infamous Don Turtelli is tickling YOU for information. How long can you hold out against his wicked feather? I know that evil smile would certainly be my undoing. I realized in my earlier pieces I had him in a purple suit which wasn't entirely accurate. I tweaked the description so he's in almost exactly the outfit he wears in the TMNT cartoon.

Update Issue

Hey folks. Sorry about a technical issue that made my last two posts invisible to you for some reason. I posted them exactly as I always have but they got listed as “free” and didn’t send out any sort of notification they were there. And for some of you, even though they were free, they weren’t showing up at all. Hopefully this won’t become a recurring problem (and hopefully it wasn’t related to Patreon’s new content policies).

Just Out of Reach

Professional tough guy Jack Reacher woke up to find himself lashed to a table in a garage, his shoes and socks mysteriously missing. His position made him break out into an immediate sweat...did they know? He soon realized his captors did indeed know that despite his size, despite his training, the soles of his feet had always been his undoing. As they began the slow, deliberate strokes of a wicked feather up and down his wiggling feet, he desperately struggled to...reach it.

Horseplay

Well folks, this is it. These are the last pieces of my old artwork that I hadn't yet posted here. After this, it's only brand new art from now on. I thought it fitting to end with a pair of drawings that were among my very first. "Horseplay" 1 and 2 were originally published in the very first issue of the zine "Tickle Master" which was put out by Jon K of the MTMTN (Man to Man Tickle Network) and the host of the very first TKLFest! The drawings were made to illustrate a story that was in tha...

Achilles Asylum: 1950s Patient Photos 1

The 1950s began a new era at the mysterious asylum. While previous decades had mostly documented the patients' treatment with still photography, the sessions began to be filmed in the 50s. New doctors were hired according to their screen presence and ability to "ham it up" in order to  elicit stronger reactions from their patients. Marketing and equipment budgets for the facility skyrocketed as certain key investors were provided with copies of these films for their own...personal use.&n...

AI Gitchy Goo 1

Another popular iteration of the Tickle Monster is the amorphous goo with multiple hands that envelops you and tickles you silly. This poor explorer got separated from his group and fell into a cave into a strange orange substance. It quickly enveloped him and he found his clothes and boots dissolving right off of his body. He tried crying for help but found himself overwhelmed by tickling sensations all over his body from the creature's many quick moving hands. Does the creature feed on his ...

Say UNCLE!

A good friend of mine, one might even say "bestie", let me know that it was pretty common in the late 90s to have a cartoon crush on Trent Lane from Daria. While doing a search for images of him I found one of his Uncle Max giving him a noogie. I immediately thought that an uncle who gives noogies would almost certainly be a tickler too, and "Say Uncle" was born. Hope you enjoy watching Trent 'spiral' into helpless laughter! (Daria inside joke).
