Shemale Art and Artists

Several erotic artists specialize in comic books, cartoons, or illustrations that feature buxom hermaphroditic, pre-operative transsexual (shemale), or t-girl characters. Such shemale art ranges in style from three-dimensional, computer-generated images and anime, hentai, or manga comic book-style sketches to fine art illustrations and paintings. Among the better known American artists who specialize in depicting such figures are Drew, Kinky Jimmy, and Doc West.

Anime and manga hermaphrodites tend to be very simple figures. Their penises are relatively undefined, the glans often resembling a ball rather than a clear-cut, acorn-shaped structure, and the coloring is fairly crude, the penis being pink and the glans red, with light brown used to highlight and shadow. There is often a vaginal opening in the scrotum, between the testicles. In many anime drawings, the character is ejaculating. The facial features are simplified, and the figures have the huge eyes typical of the genre, with tiny noses and mouths and, often, hair that is green, purple, blue, or some other unusual color. The figures are either posed or engage in explicit sex with male, female, or other shemale characters.

A few hentai artworks (anime or manga with "bizarre" imagery or themes) mix shemale figures with the genre's fondness for tentacle sex. In Japan, it is illegal to show pubic hair or penile penetration of the vagina, so erotic artists have substituted monsters equipped with multiple tentacles for penises, violating the female characters vaginally, anally, and orally (and shemale characters anally and orally) with these obvious penis substitutes. Perhaps this art form's emphases on monstrous humanoid forms and violent sexual assault have led to its depictions of rape, humiliation, and BSDM by demons, monster women, hermaphroditic dick-girls, transsexual vampires, and other bizarre characters.

Because many of his transsexual characters closely resemble the female characters in popular Disney movies or DC or Marvel comic books, Drew's art sometimes parodies these styles.
