Spanking Artist: Kami Tora  How long have you been drawing spanking art? I couldn't say exactly when I drew my first spanking pic, but I've been drawing adult/erotic stuff for 15 years or so.Where can your spanking art be seen? I have a spanking gallery over at: Anime OTKand a fan site, which includes all of my other kinds of art at: Kami Tora Fan Club I also have a forum at: http://futanari.org/bbs/ What inspires you to draw?  I'm not always sure about that one. Mostly, I like to draw more than anything. Sometimes I'll get an idea for a spanking pic, and it won't leave my head until I either draw it or try to draw it or until I get frustrated to the point of setting it aside for a while. Sometimes a terrible pun I think of will trigger an idea for a spanking pic, and that will get the ball rolling. I suppose it's natural for me, an artist obsessed with women's legs and asses, to get into spanking art.Where do you get your ideas from? Like every artist, everything I see provides "idea potential". Sometimes I'll just come across a photo that is mesmerizing, and it'll make me want to draw it myself! I enjoy collecting images from the pulp magazines, which are full of spectacular paintings and crazy ideas. Many times, another artist will do something that makes me think of a "response" work; either something similar to what they've done, or a total reversal of what he/she has drawn. I tend to draw original characters rather than established, recognizable characters in everything I do, but once in a while a request or an idea will lend itself to doing a popular or known character.Are there other artists that interest or inspire you? There are very few artists that don't inspire me in some way, and I can appreciate an artist's intent even when their technique is wanting. As far as artists go, I have deep respect for guys like Bill Ward and Gil Elvgren (for different reasons), and countless unnamed or forgotten pulp illustrators from back in the day.Do you have a particular technique or way that you go about drawing?  Often, I'll pull out a sheet of 8.5' by 11' copy paper, turn it horizontally, and bisect it (roughly) down the middle. This gives me two work areas of about 4.25' x 5.5'. I can usually keep my figure proportions true this way. I start sketching with a blue pencil, and sometimes I'll just pencil or ink right over my sketch. More often, however, I'll have to use a light table to tighten my scribbles to a more finished line. These days, I tend to scan my finished pencils rather than inking, unless it needs to be REALLY precise.Do you prefer to draw in colour or black & white/greyscale? Depends. Color takes a lot more time, for one thing, and sometimes it hurts a pic more than helps it. I'm not above using spot color or "limited palettes" to give the pic a little help or atmosphere. I'd have to say that color is usually preferable to black and white.Is there a target audience that you specifically aim at? Always. I have a broad range of art that I draw, and whatever the audience is, I try to put myself in their shoes. If I'm doing a spanking pic, I'm trying to reach the spanking enthusiast and what it is about the fetish that attracts them. Same goes with a soft/hardcore pic, or bondage, or femdom, or whatever.Does your artwork represent your own spanking preferences?  I suppose it has to on some level, just to be able to find the will to complete the art! I have to have some rudimentary interest in the scene, otherwise it ends up on the stack of unfinished works. My fascination with a woman's buns makes spanking pics a breeze to draw, since my interest is high. When I draw F/m spankings, it's a little more difficult, since I don't have the same obsession with male backsides. A woman getting spanked just feels so... natural. A man getting spanked is much kinkier to me!Do you produce artwork which is not related to spanking as well? I would say that only 25% of my art is spanking related. I draw many, many different genres. Spanking fans are wonderfully vocal with praise (which every artist likes to hear about), so I gravitate to them if I'm feeling needy.Do you draw just for personal pleasure or for profit? I mostly draw for fun as a hobby. I've done some artwork for money, but hobbies are more enjoyable when they are done for fun.Have you considered using your artwork in spanking publications/books?  I've had a few offers for illustrating books, both spanking and otherwise, and I've occasionally done some art for them, but I try not to agree to projects, deadlines, and commissions too often, since my paying job takes most of my time.Do you have any plans for future artwork? I've been doing a set of naughty playing card images, each one with a freshly-spanked girl. I hope one day to actually have all 52 images, but that's going to take some time! Apart from that, I have some genre-specific spanking themes including a sort of 1950's domestic housewives getting put over their husbands' knees, and a contemporary couple where the husband is constantly punished by his wife for ogling the coeds. Somewhere in the stacks is a clumsy girl who can't hold a job, so she's always in a new scenario/occupation getting her bottom smacked.21 comments
