Guys drawing really muscular men- gay or wish fulfillment? -

[Faint taste of butter]

Might seem like a weird question but I wondered as I saw a tattoo artist only drawing hypermuscular men on social media. I' m sure there are many more like him.
Do male artists just like to draw very muscular guys because it' s like "the perfect/idealised masculinity" and wish fullfilment etc. Or are they just gay (and possibly have a muscle fetish?)

E:Incase I haven' t made it clear: I' m talking about pin-headed, actually dorito shaped, impossibly muscular characters. Not just a "normal" superhero figure.

Maybe they're just enthusiastic about muscular bodies, not everything has to be analysed to death.

not everything has to be analysed to death.

This indicates that you may be in the wrong webzone, pal.

Everything has to be anal'd to death.

FTFY

Who the fuck wants to glorify skinny awkward soboys.

Maybe they're attempting to capture an ideal, similar Greek or Renaissance statues.

I draw too, poorly but u know, and frankly it's usually because I don't want to draw fat, average, or skinny. I see that every day. I want my fantastical imaginations given form to be good looking even if it's to an unrealistic point.

I certainly wouldn't get a soyboy tattoo'd on my arm either.

I guess it could be either depending on the person.

Muscular physiques, even ones that seem impossible, kind of inspire men to improve themselves, so it makes sense that some would draw art that shows that body type.

And then other artists are just attracted to that type and drawing their ideal type.

Greeks were gay as fuck though. And so was Michelangelo

eh, i'd say wish fullfillment. I'd liken it to creating a character in a video game. I don't make characters i find appealing because i want to fuck them. this tattoo artist is using social media as a tool for advertising so i cant say im surprised hes not showing off depictions of wrinkly old men with dangly balls.

Couldn't it be a little both?
Just watch an episode of HeMan.

Just one more thing Rob Leifeld and the 90's collectively ruined for everyone, forever.

nobody wants to create (or look at) art depicting a disgusting fat slob or skinny soyfiend.
it's about aesthetics and beauty, not homo degeneracy.

lol homo
how about just making statues of girls instead of naked men?

if its jojo, its flamboyantly gay

Also, muscle is a lot easier to draw than fat, fabric, or most other things that show more effects from gravity. Without context it's really hard to answer the OP's question.

How could a muscly man dressed up in an improbably tight, colorful, skimpy outfit possibly be gay?

VCR_WOLFE and many other bad (tumblr) artists like them would disagree

It's both. Araki's pretty well-known for his homoerotic art style, but that doesn't not make Jojo the manliest shit.

If enjoying part 2's designs and art makes me gay then I am ready to taste the rainbow. Is Araki gay or does he just really likes drawing jacked pretty dudes?

From an artistic standpoint many people draw what they know, so naturally a man would understand the male body better than he would a woman's. Look at Boris Vallejo for example, yes he paints some extremely sexy women but his men are made out of God and Damn.
