While good behavior has its rewards, sometimes causing a little trouble gets you exactly where you want to be.
I have received a lot of requests over the years for muscle men in leather, and I really hope The Warden fits the bill. As an artist, it is always the small details that add real interest to a piece, and I particularly enjoyed rendering the leather harness and the glint of the nipple ring. Interestingly, the prison bars in the background started out as a mere suggestion, just a loose outline to hint at the setting. I decided to develop them fully, and I am incredibly happy with how they turned out to frame the scene.
