Important Note III

Hey there!  I wanted to give you an update on things, taken from the public post at my Patreon page:

I also want to thank you for your comments here at Barbaric Brawn.  I read them all and they made me smile.  Thank you for your kindness and taking the time to comment.  I appreciate it very much.

---------------------------------

Update: 12/16/2020 -- Hey again, guys.  It's been quite some time since I last updated you all about this situation.  It's mostly because I'm worried that I'm scaring people with it.  That's the last thing I want to do.  But there isn't any reason to be worried.  It's all gonna be fine. 😄  I'm pretty young and healthy and my doctor is going to be able to be more aggressive with the treatment because of it.

I had an appointment with an oncologist/radiologist colleague of my oncologist at the Cancer Center on Monday to talk about my treatment coming up on the 17th (tomorrow morning).  I found out that everything is still on schedule for the same treatment (rituximab and methotrexate).  She told me that they weren't expecting to find what they found and, again, that all things considered, I was fortunate that it ended up being what it was.  They still don't know what caused this rare form of lymphoma, but I have a feeling that it might be related to stress.  And that's something I will be confronting after this is done.  There are things I need to change in my life and I will.

I also had a retinal exam a few days prior to that, and the specialist found no lymphoma in my eye, which was a concern because of where it had formed.  So that's good news, too!

I'm not sure if I'll be admitted to the hospital after the antibody and chemotherapy -- it entirely depends on how my body reacts to it.  I'm hopeful I can just go back home and recover, but it's possible my oncologist may admit me for a short time just to be safe.

On a nicer note, I've been working on the PDF adaptation of Wrangled and Roped and have incorporated Big Beef Heat into the beginning of that story.  I've also made another lockerroom scene with Alexi and Gorilla and a bedroom scene with Alexi and Ryan to help fill in the story a bit more.  24 new/remade image pages so far.  It's looking great and I'm excited see it take shape and to release to you guys when it's ready.

I wanted to thank you all again for your kind words of support and for sticking with me during this ordeal.  It's really meant the world to me and I love you all very much.  Take great care of yourselves and I'll be seeing you again soon!

Important Note II

Hey there again, everyone.

I wanted to thank you all for your kind words and birthday wishes.  They meant a lot to me to read and really helped me to get through this painful time of my life.

I learned recently from the oncology doctor who saw me in the preop room that cancer was found in the sample that they took from me.

I'm fortunate that though it's inoperable, it is treatable, and I should be okay.  I'm going to be going in for treatment this month, and the outlook is good, so no worries!

Thank you all again and I'll try to post updates (and more art!) soon for you to enjoy.

 

On another note, my friend and fellow 3D artist, Perfect Slam, has just released a new comic starring his OC, the Crusher, facing off in a rematch against my OC, Alexi Volkov.  It's a sizzling-hot read, one he worked very hard to create.  I added in a few of my own touches to it, which were a lot of fun to contribute to.

You can purchase a copy of EWF Issue 007: Bestlaidplans at his Lulu store here or at his Gumroad page here.  Thanks greatly for supporting the wrestling arts!

Important Note

Hi there, everyone. You may've noticed that I haven't posted anything new for quite a while.

Earlier this month, I began experiencing severe sleeplessness, unsteadiness in my walking and typing, and unexplainable pains in my head/neck and had to be admitted to the hospital after a series of scans at the emergency room.

About a week ago, I underwent brain surgery for a lesion the neurosurgeon discovered on my cerebellum.

It's been a bit of a traumatic road to recovery, but I'm hopeful things will be back to normal and better for me soon. My birthday is this Saturday and that would be a wonderful present, indeed.

Thank you for your patience and take good care,

-Lucky

The Beast of Ramoro

This the the Beast of Ramoro, a Conan story with a dark, Halloween-appropriate theme (and rather dark lighting!  Hopefully that isn't too much a problem.)

The big barbarian, in search of a man taken from a nearby village, enters a volcanic crypt a day's journey away.  It's there that he finds not only the lithe blond victim, but Vulg, a carnivore mentioned only in hushed whispers throughout the region.

Worlds Collide: Gorilla vs Tuskar

This tale is a collision of worlds, pairing together the savage barbarian, Tuskar, with the modern World Heavyweight Champion, Gorilla George Brogan.

The mysterious, hooded god named Steg is responsible for these two studs from different eras meeting muscle in the ring.  It was only through deception that the spirits of the barbarian and the wrestler would meet in the heavenly wrestling ring.

Can Tuskar defeat the threatening invader of Thordar, Gorilla, or will Gorilla put an end to Tuskar's attempts on his championship belt?

Venom vs Gamma (Mini Match)

Hercules vs Antaeus

On his eleventh labor given to him by King Eurystheus and Hera, Hercules has accomplished the task of stealing the Golden Apples from the garden of the Hesperides.  But on his way back, he is halted by a hulking, blond male claiming himself to be the son of Poseidon!

While wrestling another traveler who trespassed upon his territory previously, Antaeus spotted Hercules doing the same.  The giant god finally tracked down the son of Zeus and challenges him to a wrestling match!  With egos and tempers flaring, the two males quickly escalate the stakes to a lifetime of servitude for the loser!

Promo for PhantomStudio-Tommy

Hey, guys!  As you might know, my original artist name was BiffandGunloc before I changed it to Lucky Stallion.  That old name was based on two characters from Saturday Night Slam Masters (or Muscle Bomber as it was called in Japan,) a series I've loved for a very long time -- and still do!

Sadly, there isn't a whole lot of SNSM fan art out there, so it's always a treat to see some excellent works of these studs in action.

Tommy and Ty have created a Patreon page dedicated to the wrestlers from the series and I wanted to highlight their page here for you if you were interested in checking it out and sending some support their way!

You can find them at https://www.patreon.com/musclebomber and more by Tommy at his Twitter page and DeviantArt page.

Seaside Slammers

Fabio and Gabriel, also known as the Brazilian Bodyslammers, are at their coastal home in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  One of the Muscle City Wrestling Federation's big events, Stud Slammer VI, is rapidly approaching, and Fabio has earned his right to battle Billy Bronx for the World Middleweight Championship title and belt!

Gabriel has been helping his identical twin train for the big title fight.  And on that sunny, warm day, the two step into the ring to get one more practice match in before their flight to Muscle City.

Superslam Warriors

This story has my first version of Zangief and 4th version of Guile are here to battle it out in an erotic fight at the Red Cyclone's Russian stage!

This one came out a lot better than I was hoping.  The stage in particular gave me the hardest time -- something I had thought Zangief himself would have the honors of!  Like my previous Street Fighter works, I tried to keep the posing close to the second game to help add to the overall feel of the action.  I also gave Guile a fresh new outfit with some more polish to his body and new US flag shoulder tattoos.

Enjoy, guys!

Bare-Ass Wrestling (Short Story Match)

Goliath and Mack McDougal are facing off in the federation's popular, spin-off wrestling show, Bare-Ass Wrestling.  The American, bearded construction worker who only recently stepped into the ring as a professional wrestler stands ready and willing to match muscle against the Australian powerhouse, Goliath!

Included after is an alternate ending.

--------------------------

It was another hot summer night at the Muscle City Wrestling Federation.  It was Monday night and a great many of the hard-working, blue-collar men from across the world were at home enjoying the newest episode of the federation's popular spin-off series: Bare-Ass Wrestling.

With their bellies filled with hot food, their work jeans kicked off, and their cold cans of beer freshly cracked open, they put their feet up and settled down for a night of pro wrestling action.

Mack McDougal, a construction worker from the metropolis, stood in the ring opposite the hulking Australian wrestler known simply as Goliath.  The two men had entered the spotlights wearing nothing covering their bodies, save for Mack's trademark hard hat, thick gloves, and rugged boots.  Fans all across the arena roared for their appearances.  Mack hadn't been a wrestler long, having only done battle with Alexi Volkov in his introductory match and two matches against Mr. Dreamboat (Mack's second win) and Ryan Dermot (Mack's first loss).

Goliath raised his arms in a double bicep pose as he strutted down the aisle and into the ring.  His fans called out his praises and stared wantingly at his nude body, glistening with posing oil.  The big Australian was a seasoned wrestler and his tag team partner was none other than Gorilla George Brogan, the current World Heavyweight Champion.

Like most of the Bare-Ass Wrestling matches, this one had sex stakes attached and no referee to get in the way of the action.  Only when one man had submitted to his opponent was it all over.  Their glutes clenched and flexing, neither man wanted to give up his ass to the other.  Goliath stared down at the smaller wrestler and a low chuckle escaped his grinning lips.

"Want to give up now, little man?  Save yerself some slammin' and groanin'?" Goliath asked in his deep voice, thick with an Aussie accent.  He scratched at his groin and added, "Don't worry, this cock feels damn good in tight holes like yers."

"Ya don't scare me none, big boy!" Mack retorted, bouncing his pecs for added intimidation.  "I'm gonna have you squealin' my name when I get my hands on ya!"

DING! DING! DING!

The bell suddenly rang and the match was on!

Mack moved quickly, slapping his body against Goliath's to catch the big man off guard.  He brought his arms around Goliath's torso, holding on tight as he pushed with all his strength to bring the Aussie down to the mat.

Mack was used to handling massive, heavy objects, and he considered Goliath no different as he forced the titanic wrestler down!  Goliath's eyes grew wide and his expression turned to fright as the smaller wrestler managed to shatter his steady footing and topple him to the mat!

The construction-worker-turned-wrestler was quick to seize the opportunity.  He dropped his leg on Goliath's gut, winding the titanic man.

Before his foe could get up, Mack wrapped his legs around Goliath's thick arm.  He slowly pulled back on the Aussie powerhouse's muscular arm, intensifying the pressure.

"Give up, big boy!" Mack shouted over Goliath's roars of protest.  "Mack's got ya now!"

Ready to be done with this unworthy challenge, Mack began climbing up the red corner until he reached the top.  He turned around and raised his fists high, yelling to the roaring crowd, "I'm sendin' this jobber packin' and back to Kangaroo Land!"

Goliath was stunned and dazed, lying still on the mat and moaning.  He'd believed this rookie to be nothing of a competitor in the ring and was paying the price of his arrogance.  He gazed up at the hot lights that shined from above and watched them swirl in his double vision.
