After falling in love with his work a couple of years ago only to see his online portfolio 404 itself before our very eyes, we're glad that we found the new online home of Japanese homocomix artist Naoki Tatsuya, whose work is filled with all kinds of muscular jocks doing all sorts of dirty things to each other despite the pixelated junk they're packing. While it's not as balls-out raw as Tagame's dark scenarios or as finely detailed as the work of Marc Ming Chan, Tatsuya's world is still full of the kind of intense action you've come to expect from Japanese comic smut (think lots of rope, piss play, and humiliation)—and that cartoon-like quality somehow makes everything even more sexy, sort of like Tom Of Finland crossed with something you'd see after midnight on Adult Swim.
And hey, as long as those censors don't start pixelating all those huge and splashy cumshots or creative uses for mobile equipment anytime soon, we can totally deal with not being able to see certain other things.
