i know that is in none of my buissen but how big is your pENIS AND DO YOU HAVE MSN IF YOU DO ADD ME AT littlelion34556@hotmail.com

Wayne H. Hodge replies: "Mathew. That is a very personal question and should not be asked in my gallery. I have an e-mail address and it is posted on my main page. In the future please use it. Thank you. "

Hey there wish u a very Happy New Year brother whats happening? i made a new rendition of Ganesha, the god of auspicious beginnings to usher in the new year.. dont forget to tk his blessings from my gallery lol

Wayne H. Hodge replies: "Hey Vineet. I’m really glad to hear that you are okay. I was wondering about you when I saw the reports on the news about the terrorist attacks over there. Happy New Year to you too. Let us hope that this one will be better than the last one. And thanks for the blessing. "

Darling, how are you doing?

Wayne H. Hodge replies: "I’m doing fine and how are you? Long time no hear from. I didn’t know you had a gallery here at Elfwood. Hope all is well with you and that you had a merry Christmas and hopefully a Happy New year. "

Thanx for d concern mate... ya it was a bad time and the city was shut for three days... but life moves on and it has come back to normalcy now... hope this year turns out better

Wayne H. Hodge replies: "I’m glad to hear that everything is ok now. If I could have but one wish I’d truly wish for world peace. It’d be so nice to not hear of any more wars and killings. What makes me sick is that it’s the governments of countries that start wars not the people. I say that if they want to fight then let them fight each other and not get their people killed. If they had to do that I’ll bet a lot of fighting would stop. ;o) "

What a great gallery you have Wayne And a man after my own heart, one who enjoys depicting "buff" beasty boys *sigh* I haven’t drawn any for a while. I like your style, very crisp lines, well proportioned anatomy... though you are more daring than me with the full nudity... I always manage to find a way of hiding the dangly bits *lol* - thanx so much for the fave tag - maXine

Wayne H. Hodge replies: "Thank you so much Maxine, I’m glad you like my gallery. And thank you for the compliment about my art as well. I’m glad you enjoy the men.
Many years ago, like you, I always tried to cover up the dangly bits. So I’d have them in speedos or a loin cloth or or turned so that those parts didn’t show. I’ve been drawing for 47 years and there came a time when I said to hell with it. I can’t draw clothes and I’m tired of drawing them in loin clothes and speedos. Male and female nudity has been an art form since ancient times and some of the most famous works of art in the world are of nudes. The statue of David being the most famous male nude work of art. So I said to heck with it and I started drawing what I enjoyed drawing. When I first posted at Elfwood 8 or so years ago I got a lot of good comments but I also got a lot of flamers. I ignored them and they finally got tired of it and went away. I still get a few every now and again but people who flame artists only show their ignorance and I just set back and laugh at them. There isn’t a thing that anyone can say about my art that would offend me no matter how nasty or rude the comment was. Elfwood was the first on line sight that I posted my art to. I guess I had an advantage over most people since I’ve been drawing for so long I’ve already heard all the bad comments to my art over the years so when I posted here they didn’t faze me. People who post art on line should have a tough skin because there are those out there who delight in trying to hurt peoples feelings.
I draw to please me not anyone else. If someone likes my art that is great, but if they don’t it’s not skin off my teeth.
Sorry this was a bit long winded. Thanks again for the visit and the compliment. "

I have to agree with all your comments re tough skin... though I have yet to receive any flamers... although I once did get a flame from the infamous "Dee" who used to be around when I first joined three years ago... usual rant about "melon-breasted blah blah blah" funny thing was, the rant was about my rather buff anti-hero of my writings, again, subtely posed with no dangly bits (but no longer in my gallery), and not my melon-breasted mermaid, that I drew purposefully to earn the ire of Dee - hahah. I tried a few other web presences... Red Bubble (an Oz site), but I attracted a rather unwelcome stalker who would leave comments regarding how and where he wanted to kiss me.... *ahem* I removed mys-elf from that site. Art Wanted, but I preferred to be on a speciliased art site... though I still have a profile for commenting. Epilogue... tried that for a few weeks, but I didn’t like how there is no notification of messages/comments etc, and I didn’t find it very interactive like I do with EW, and being a Mod here, and going to a lot of trouble to fully explain why artworks are not accepted, I wasn’t so thrilled with the rather terse reject reasons that Epilogue dish out... and so Wayne, are you going to thrill us with another buff beasty boy some time soon? - maXine

Wayne H. Hodge replies: "Hello Again Maxine.
OMG! If I had a nickel for all the flames I got during my first two years here I’d be a very rich man. LOL
Within a month or two after I posted my first nudes it was like someone announced on TV throughout the world that there were full frontal nude males in my gallery. For the most part about 80% loved the art but the 20% that didn’t raised all kinds of hell. It was so bad that even the mods and the ERB got involved. I guess you could say I was a trail blazer so to speak. ;o) I crossed all the boundary’s that before had never been crossed. For some people it was like how dare he do such a thing, lets tar and feather him and then hang him. ;o)

I did have art posted at another sight but there was a big misunderstanding and they kicked me out.

I love Elfwood but I wish they had a section for other types of art besides Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Fan Art. My art covers a broad spectrum and I draw a lot of stuff that can’t be posted here. But thanks to someone who saw me here and had seen my work at the other place they gave me a link to furaffinity and I can post there what I can’t post here.

I tried to join Epilogue years ago and when I posted my art it was rejected and I received a letter telling me that while my art was good it wasn’t high quality enough to be accepted at Epilogue. So I politely told them to go *F* themselves. I’m a member of Diviante Art but I won’t post there because their terms of agreement gives them the right to use your art for their own purposes in any way they see fit. So there was no way I was going to post any of my art there for them to rip me off and make money off me.

I think that if I ever had a stalker like you did I’d have a wonderful time playing head games with him/her.

And to answer your question...yes, I’ll be posting some more beasty boys in the near future. In fact I’m going to whip one up and dedicate it to you, providing that’s not breaking any rules. ;o)"

I see COLOUR!

And I just noticed you updated, quite a lot. I will be back later.

Wayne H. Hodge replies: "Yes, there is color and I updated quite a bit. I’m looking forward to your return visit and your comments. "

Ok first of all let me say i think your very talented and are quite clearly adept with pen and ink. But is it completely necessary to have so many naked images? Now all i’m saying is that with your skill surely you could create intimate and loving images within a gay context that more people would want to see. It could show people that gay is ok and not put them off knowing about something they don’t understand. Your Headless Horseman picture is amazing

Wayne H. Hodge replies: "Hi Perrie. Thank you for the comment and the compliment. They are both very much appreciated.
I understand how you feel about all the nudity as some people are not comfortable with male nudity. With some of my newer submissions I have tried to clothe my figures and as you can see I didn’t do a very good job of it. Truth of the matter is that I’ve been trying for for 46 years to learn to draw clothes and I just can’t get the hang of it. The only way that I can draw good clothes it to draw super hero type costumes. I spent twenty years drawing comic book art and I finally got tired of it. So I have no desire to put those kinds of costumes on my characters. That leaves speedo type swimming trunks or loin clothes and that gets real boring after a while.
And some of my characters are nude because they aren’t human and clothing is a human trait so I see no need to put clothes on a none human.

People have a tendency to humanize things like putting clothes on animals and stuff like that.
I’ve seen numerous drawings of Werewolves wearing pants. Now how much sense does that make? I’ve seen demons wearing clothes as well. What kind of clothing could withstand the fires of hell? My Demons don’t have clothes and neither do my Mer people as they don’t need them. For me putting any kind of clothing on a mer person would be like putting clothes on a fish. And where would they get the material to make clothes from and how would they make them even if they had the material.

As for the gay aspect I don’t think that I have posted anything in that area that is overly sexual in any way. The gay art that I have posted I have tried to show a tenderness between to two men that was based more on love than sex.

And I mean no offense by this and I don’t mean to sound hateful about it but I can’t understand how any artist can be offended by nudity when some of the most famous works of art in the world are of nudes and museums are full of them. The art works of ancient Greece is world renowned and most of it is nudes. The most famous statue in the world is the statue of David by da Vinci and it’s nude. I would have nude women in my gallery if I could draw women worth a damn, but I find it extremely hard to draw women. My older sister found it extremely hard to draw a man but her women were stunning.

Anyway, I hope I’ve helped you to understand why I draw so many nudes. Thanks again for the compliment and the comment. "

I think I exhausted my self and missed a few. I’m sure to be back.
Only one complaint (Apart from the all ’new’ Elfwood ) the coloured ones with the fancy Photo Shopped textures seem to loose some of the original pictures impact. Get them all coloured like Dark Incubus and ... well .

You’ll have to learn how to do it.

Wayne H. Hodge replies: "Come back any time as I always enjoy hearing from you. Yeah, if I could get the program and learn how to use it like my friend did when she colored Dark Incubus all my art would be in color. "

Hello, old friend. Just stopping by to see if you were still around. Miss ya!

Wayne H. Hodge replies: "Hello Robin my Sweet. Yeah, I’m still here. Haven’t done much in the way of art lately though. So good to hear from you again. I miss you too. *hugs*"
