Bara Style Challenge - Caducado Art (Patreon)

I'm absolutely sure you have seen a pin-up by Caducado at least once before. His art is very popular and sold on T-shirts often and many photographs and models like to recreate his work. I think that his aesthetic is a very clever take on Archie Comics era nostalgia and a fantastic way of reappropriating a moment of history marked by sexism and queerphobia for the girls and the gays of our time.

Emulating that style was surprisingly hard for me as it's 50% less detail than what I normally do, but 50% more intent and I hate to admit, but it's definitely a weakness that I'm still working on. The way his inking is all curves and swoops is absolutely hypnotizing and I gotta say I'm not sure I have the skill to reproduce that with absolute fidelity but I gave it my all. With that being said, I am not mad at the result and I think Finn looks cute in this style. As always his hair was a challenge to translate, but I think it turned out nice. Aside from the inking, the body hair (surprisingly) was definitely the hardest part for me on this one.

What do you think? Is CaduFinn ready for his close-up?
