The story of The Barbarian in a series of images.

Completed: 31 May 2020  

During the gladiatorial games in ancient Rome, a spoiled young emperor is tamed by one of the most formidable fighters of those days, the Barbarian. This massive gladiator is not only famous for his strength and agility in battle, but also for being exceptionally well-endowed. 

We start the series with the unexpected visit of an official of the imperial court to the gladiatorial school. In the Add-Ons section of this project, you can find out how the hunky hero became horse hung. 

You can find the series as a Graphic Novel in PDF format here as well. You can download high-resolution files for printing at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: There is an attachment with 2 zip files at the bottom of this post where you can download the entire series.   

Later that day...

Postscript

And so it was that the spoiled and ill-mannered little brat became the perfect prince, inaugurating a new golden age of peace and prosperity throughout the empire. Later generations lauded him for his virtue, justice, and decency. And he was eternally praised for his wise rule and sanctified for his well-known humbleness, piety and above all his exemplary chastity.

How little did the outside world know that, behind the marble facade of the place, the constant intervention of the Barbarian was needed to keep this glorious prince in check… 

And no one ever suspected that the little rascal always did it on purpose, just to receive his massive punishment...

Flying Sailor

This new adventure seems so promising !!

Greg Hancock

Your a tease David. Hehehe. Teasing is great 👍

Danny York

I know I'm not the only fan who can hardly wait to see this barbarian's impressive sword.

Bourlet

I appreciate it when you leave a bit of suspense. I find that your directorial skills are improving. Go on like this.

Thomas Taylor

I agree; anticipation and suspense add to the climax! Your series are a treat.

Bourlet

This emperor seems to be moping. We bet that he will be more motivated at the end of the day.

Erik Eindhoven

Thank you for adding to a perfect Sunday with your wonderful art. I love the suspense!

Fourth Nine

So many young men in the stands of the stadium.

Bourlet

I find that we have lost a lot in terms of service dedicated to spectators. ;)

Keith Nathan

Really liked it when you're not showing the naughty bits at this point :D

Priapus of Milet

Yes, women were only allowed on the balcony, at the very top of the Colosseum... Along with the plebeians...

Bennett

There is ongoing debate on the meaning of thumbs-up v. thumbs-down (do a Google search for "Roman thumb up or down"). Regardless, still a great story. Seating in the Colosseum tiers was done strictly by social rank, with senators and emperor's favorites closest, then non-senators nobles, then wealthy citizens, then poor citizens, and finally, the common poor, slaves, and women. Some people were banned from attending, such as gravediggers. All events were free to those who were allowed to attend.

Priapus of Milet

Thanks Bennett, Yes, i have heard about that remarkable discussion, so I'm not sure about the Romans, but I think the viewer today gets the message ;o) And I guess that indeed sums up the audience of the Colosseum, the rest of society was probably thrown into the arena itself ;o)

Greg Hancock

No matter the “discussions” modern people have stereo type of how things are in their heads. So can get as close to accurate as you can and still people will bitch. Just enjoy the creative work for what it is.

Priapus of Milet

Yes, you're right, it's just an interpretation of ancient times. But it is curious that we actually don't know what that iconic signal was to end the gladiators life...

Christopher Fugle

Holy shit this story is great! I am watching, wishing for dialogue if you can believe it. You ability to tell amazing stories visually takes my breathe away.

Priapus of Milet

Thanks Christopher! Well, I'll leave the dialogue to your imagination, for I guess they speak Latin. I don't know about you, but mine is a bit rusty ;o)

Bourlet

This emperor deserves a good punishment. ;) I really like the evolution of your screenwriting. Keep going like that.

FHG

hehe Save the best for last...

Flying Sailor

You just make our confinement enjoyable, waiting for your amazing work every Sunday ! You are a saint !

Danny York

Your creation has a lot of teasing and anticipation work into the storyline. I know that I'm not the only one eager to see the "big unveil" lol. Look forward to next week.

FHG

Who plays with fire ... burns !!!!

Philip L Hill

Priapus Thabk you for another superb creation. This one is trulu spactacular! The detail is very very great and pretty accurate. $0 years ago a friend and I tried to write a gladiator novel. Your story comes close to what we could never put our finger on - the combination of sex, character and and realism. It's treat to see

Philip L Hill

I have a long shelf of books on gladiators and arenas and your research has been thorough. I don't think I have ever see illustrations that come close to being as it probably was. Incidentally the lighting is exact - very Italian. The gladiatorial school at the beginning could be the Ludus Magnus(the training school for gladiators) which can still be seen beside the Colosseum. The young Emperor could be Elagabalus - a lad from Syria who had a charioteer as a lover!!! I also enjoy your secondary characters. In this series I love the lad who pulls off the Barbarian's wrap, and also the Barbarian;s servant. Like to see more of them:)

Philip L Hill

Finally - sorry to be a bore - but a QUESTION. You show every detail of chest hair, nipples, cock and balls - but NEVER an ass crack or hole in sight (though they are evidently there!!) Is there a reason for this unique lack of detail?This is not criticism - just a genuine question. Thanks for listening. I'm hooked.

Priapus of Milet

No bore at all and good question! Main reason is I don’t have a good model for that. Somehow it doesn’t work for me, like the hair I armpits, it always deforms and looks awkward, especially in close-up. But you’re right, it’s an important detail that’s often missing and I should do something about that ;o)

Priapus of Milet

Thanks, that’s good to hear! Did some research an visited the sights several times, but most of it is just my imagination. Still it’s hard to imagine what a grewsome place of entertainment that must have been… Ah yes, it could definitely be the notorious Elagabalus. Wasn’t he the one that worshiped a black stone? Have to look into it and perhaps interesting to make a reference to that.

Philip L Hill

Thanks for your very honest reply, Priapus. Much appreciated. I like open ass views, but its far from essential. I note that your drawings of feet (another kink of mine!!) have become more subtle and differenced over time.

Philip L Hill

You certainly know your Roman history, Priapus. Kudos to you. Yes Elagabalus brought a black stonew from his native Emesa in Syria. I think it was placed in a temple close to the Palatine palce. I have an idea it was the god El and that sexual rites were offered to it. There a good (but old) semi- sexy novel about Elagabalus by (I thinki) Lance Horner. “The Black Sun”?

Michael Roberts

Well it was well worth the wait!! Thank you for leaving him intact.

Danny York

WOW!!! Priapus really bestowed his blessings to this fella. This was awesome.

Priapus of Milet

Found the title, it's called Child of the Sun. by Kyle Onstott. Not sure why, but the paperback edition on Amazon costs $520,42. Must be a hell of a story ;o)

Baguette_Cat

that new model ouffff all my fntasy came true

Keith Nathan

Finally it's revealed! I love the expressions of the palace guards :D

Darien Lee

what the above said. XD

Priapus of Milet

Thanks Philip, that's very generous of you, but a copy is on the way, a Kindle edition for just $1,99. So that's much more affordable ;o) And I'll have a look at the other one as well. It seems that the original editions have become real collectors items ;o)

Darren F

I am so loving this series - I love the setting and the visual storytelling is very exciting. Can't wait to see where we go with this.

Randisk

Now Harry will be jealous with this horse hung hunk! Hope they will have an encounter sometimes. That would be nasty ahahah! Thanks David for this awesome story!

FG

Just joined and really impressed by the quality of your art! Many thanks from Italy!

Priapus of Milet

Thanks Fausto! That's wonderful to hear and as you can see, the art and history of your country has been a major inspiration for my work. Hope to return soon, for it's without doubt one of the most beautiful and fascinating countries I've ever visited. Truly magnificent! :o)

FHG

I love the first frame when he has "the big one" in his mouth and his eyes look like dishes LOL !!!! Now you have your punishment or ... your "great reward"

Philip L Hill

Another brilliant intallment David. Thank you. I love the wit, in earlier instalments, whereby the court officials and Praetorian Guards make no attempt whatsoever to intervene or rescue their Emperor!! Very amusing. As always your artwork is subtle, believeable (despite in Barbarian’s HUGE phallus) and very arousing. I look forward to future episodes with eager anticipation!! 

Priapus of Milet

Thanks Philip! Yes, I don't think they were very eager to safe their malevolent superior in the first place, and by the time the reached the sport of the crime, they were a bit distracted by other big issue ;o)

Flying Sailor

The settings are truly magnificent ! We are in Rome for sure and your are very much talented for this. As for the little Emperor, he should be grateful to you to give him this little training lol !!

Priapus of Milet

Thanks! It's a delight working on these setting and yes, I have a feeling the emperor is not entirely sorry for being punished for his misbehavior ;o)

Danny York

David the wit and humor of the gladiator's and guard's faces is ingenious. I laugh out every time you display their awe of the horse hung barbarian. Love everything in this story.

Nicholas Witkamp

Hi David, I am in doubt, who would I play in ‘the movie’? The emperor or the barbarian? Or the other way around. It drives me mad. Ok, first of all a long wait for 6,5 days till the next installment, sigh!By David till next week.

Bourlet

Just wonderful ! I love stories where it’s not all linear, this is going to be my favorite.

Priapus of Milet

Well, perhaps you can audition for both and find out what suits you best. The proof of the pudding is in the eating ;o)

Philip L Hill

Very impressed by the latest set of pictures. The pale colourscemes (in the main) work VERY well in mu opinion. The flesh tomes and the ivories and light ochres of the background create a wonderfully rich effect. As always I love your humour – the facial expressions and the two amazed Praetorians made me laugh out loud. Great work as always. I can’t wait for the next episode.

Priapus of Milet

That's great to hear! Had a more historical background in mind ad first, but that was far too dominant in the background, so I settled for something more neutral. Glad the color scheme works! The most frustrating thing on working with digital images is that you’ve very little control of the final result. Even after endless calibration the hue, saturation, brightness and contrast are always different on other screens, browsers and applications. At times it can drive one completely mad. Reviewing my work on a different pc can at time be a real shocking experience ;o)

FHG

Now everyone will want THE GREAT REWARD lolThank you for such a good story and for every detail that you give us with your art.

capybara123

it’s now a story with diversity of characters. Not a simple fairy tale. Either the heroes or evils are illustrated very very vividly. Even the side dishes are well prepared with delicious humor! lol !

Priapus of Milet

Thanks! That's great to hear and yes, I think the diversity of the characters and elaborate settings add a lot to the story, more fun to make and hopefully more fun to watch as well ;o)

capybara123

the real Reward seems not yet updated yet :D maybe those peeking guys will join in and donate their Efforts into it :D

Philip L Hill

Thanks again Priapus for another great episode. I can’t wait to see where the story will lead to. The arrival of the other gladiators at THAT MOMENT was not something I had anticipated, but was very welcome. I am highly attracted to The Barbarian’s bddy (or rival) – the one who stripped him in the gladiatorial school Several mentions of the other characters have been made by other readers. I agree. Not only the other gladiator is handsome, but the slave leading them and one or two of the Praetorians. Well done and congratulations on what you are achieving.

Priapus of Milet

You'r probably right, I think it's going to be a joined effort to bring some education and teach the mischievous prince some manners.

Priapus of Milet

Thanks Philip, my pleasure! I guess all these other characters deserved a bit more development, so it was the right time to call them beck to the center stage ;o)

capybara123

shall hero’s second time of cum fulfilled spoiled boy’s stomach …

Christopher Fugle

OMG the facial expressions on the two clothed guards made me spew my coffee!

Gary

I love this! Teaching the spoiled royalty a lesson. I especially like the hero being edged to cum by two other guys at the same time being admired by the others! Hot!

Bourlet

It would be a shame to leave these poor guardians on their hunger. Our young Caesar seems perfect to satisfy them…

Gary

Thanks so much for your beautiful work and great storyline!

Chris Master

a perfect end - or future - for a spoiled prince :-) Surely there is still a lot of "work" to be done on the barbarians

Mendy

Thank you, Priapus. For the magnificent, richly rendered images and more complex content of this opus. I am a new patron, and so glad for it.

Banks

Really want to see the older men nude...not just the perfect young ones...

Blake Richards

I'm a new patron as well and would love to see the older men nude as well but believe me I'm not complaining!... :)

Priapus of Milet

Thanks Blace, Welcome and who knows, perhaps a next time. I'm sure the guy will pop up in a new adventure again one day :o)
