Art: Somnophilia [Inception]

[motetus]

I felt the Inception fandom didn't have enough somnophilia in it, especially the type where it's Eames taking a lovely dirty nap, so as I firmly believe in creating the fanworks you want but fandom isn't providing... here is a demure and tasteful* painting of Arthur lovingly fingering a nude sleeping Eames. I've had this half-finished for ages while I wept over the lighting and anatomy and positions (thanks to marourin for help with the last two! any further ridiculousness is all down to me), but polished it off just in time for the wonderful bauble's birthday, who appreciates all the good things in this picture: gratuitous nudity and bottom Eames. Happy birthday, madam!

*not in the slightest



Totally NSFW. Here be penises... well, one of them. And I should throw in a warning for somnophilia, although what I've depicted is meant to be absolutely consensual.



I swear I had an excellent reference for Eames' pose that looked perfectly possible until I drew it. I guess he's going to have a sore neck when he wakes up, along with floorboard splinters in his ass.

Happy birthday to me!!!! I love it!!!!

More detailed comment to come soon once I stop drooling at the screen.

Anything to make your day more enjoyable, my dear.

Now, I suppose I should get straight back to the other painting with Eames nudity because YOU'RE NEVER SATISFIED, ARE YOU?

[bauble]

Yes, I am an insatiable nude art monster. And you love it :D

This art is so glorious. Mmm, where to begin.

I love how focused and intent Arthur looks in fingering Eames. And that loosened red tie provides a nice pop of color on his black and white outfit.

Others have commentedon Eames' position and I will add to the pile: I love the splayed legs and sprawling indolence of it. Leering aside, it's a very cool and interesting pose I haven't seen before. I love Eames' hard, leaking cock against his belly (he is definitely enjoying his taxes). I also enjoy his tattoos--the birds, the circular patterns on his shoulders. I also think you pulled off his features quite well--it's an unusual angle to see his face, but I think it looks very much like him.

I will be writing a ficlet based on this once I get the last chapter of Sex Bucket List in order.

Thank you so much for this beautiful piece! It definitely brightened my birthday considerably :D :D :D

Fingering Eames requires all of one's focus and concentration! You wouldn't want to do a half-arsed job with that.

I'm am very pleased you like Eames There are some drawings where you start off with a single image in mind and everything else builds on that, and in this one it was nude Eames sprawled out with the bulk of him in shadow, although it's probably not very in-character given his rather prim way of sleeping in the movie.

And yay, accompanying ficlet! You do know the most effective way to encourage me to draw more things with nudity and kink. <3

[fififolle]

Well, well, well. That is just splendid!! Gosh. Ooh er. *flails almost speechlessly*
Niiiiiiiice.
Happy birthday to bauble!

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I do love how delightfully British your enthusiasm over the nudity and filth is. :D

[fififolle]

*howls* You do know that both phrases 'spelling and grammar' and 'a nice cup of tea' have become metaphors for sex in Primeval Denial circles *g*

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

Wonderful :D

[motetus.livejournal.com]

A naked aroused Eames certainly is! Thanks!

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

It makes me want to write somnophilia....

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Then you should obey that urge and write it! It is shocking, I tell you, absolutely shocking that I can count the number of somnophilia fics in a fandom that has a canon sleep machine on a couple of fingers. Just terrible.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

It really is surprising. I am now seriously pondering it.

[temve.livejournal.com]

Oh, sweet dreams. Um. Yes, I do have a thing for sprawly sleepers. Very much. Mmmmmh.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Cheers, glad you like it! :D If only I looked half as dignified when sleeping sprawled out, instead of having my mouth gaping open, dried drool down my face, and snoring loudly.

[wanderlust48.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
How hot is that?!!!

Yes, more somnophilia *nods*

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! :D I'm trying to work on drawing scenes that are explicit but hot rather than awkward and embarassing for all concerned, so that's lovely to hear. Hm, I think the trick is to cover all the naughty bits in shadows!

[sneaqui.livejournal.com]

Excellent job on Eames' pose!! He looks all Barberini Faun in this which <3 <3 <3
And I love the little smiles on both their faces!
I love that you've managed to make somnophilia romantic. Amazing.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I had not thought of Barberini's Faun! I have made up for that by staring at him for a good ten minutes. Phoarrr. Very inspiring, I shall have to draw more blatent nudity now. Hooray!

And yay, you found it romantic! :D I think filthy porn in fic and art is always better when it's paired with soppy romantic feelings.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

omgggg Eames is totally Barberini Fauning I even wrote idfic on that once

I love that you've managed to make somnophilia romantic. Amazing.
Agreed!

[sneaqui.livejournal.com]

I was going to say 'I think someone even wrote fic about it..."
I knew there was at least an extensive Barberini Faun!Eames twitter or livejournal chat.
Ah, the good old days!

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Yes, I remember that one of yours! And now I have several different angles of that statue stored in my inspiration folder, mentally tagged with potential fellatio drawing???, because those mouthwatering splayed thighs, yessss.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

Yessssss Eames' thighs always
(Arthur's thighs attempt to substitute in this icon)

[bauble]

DRAW THIS NOW.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

I have to sleep sometime, you monster.

[bauble]

NO.

You can sleep when you're dead.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

How would you like it if I constantly hassled you for more fic, demanding you write all the time and forgo everything that wasn't churning out more delightful words about Arthur and Eames doing depraved, adorable and terrible things to each other? But I would never do that, because I am patient and respectful and not selfish at all WHERE IS MY NEXT SEX BUCKET CHAPTER????

[bauble]

IT IS WITH MY BETAS. IF YOU WANT TO HARASS ANYONE, HARASS THEM FOR HAVING LIVES OUTSIDE OF READING AND EDITING MY STORIES.

[beili.livejournal.com]

So beautiful and so sexy and so tender! Fantastic work!

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! Those are all descriptions that make me very very happy to hear, because I like my dirty kinks to be kind of sweet and tender.

[the-little-owl.livejournal.com]

Doing one's taxes never looked so good before :>)

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Everything is more enjoyable when you're naked and have someone's fingers up your arse!

...no, wait, I'm not sure that's quite right.

[lousy-science.livejournal.com]

Good goddamn, that is beautiful

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! This started off mostly as an experiment in keeping my brushstrokes rougher and messier than my usual and also to try new things with lighting, so I'm very glad to hear you like the final result! :)

[pushdragon.livejournal.com]

Oh Eames!

The pose you've put him in is completely spell-binding - muscular and vulnerable tugging in different directions.

It took me a few seconds to notice Arthur was even in the picture at all ... and I can tell you THAT doesn't happen very often! Thank you for creating this piece of loveliness.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much for your lovely comment! :D Actually, this picture started off quite differently - the sketch was originally supposed to be dark and nightmarish with Eames nude and writhing around in some unpleasant dream, then I added Arthur watching creepily, and then somehow the fluffy porny feelings took over and resulted in this. But the lovely naked muscular writhing got to stay, because why on earth would I want to change that detail.

P.S. I have a file in my WIP folder named Eames naked on a Ferrari.psd and I blame you for everything.

[pushdragon.livejournal.com]

I'm intrigued by the original premise ... but the romantic in me definitely approves of the evolution you describe.

Ahahahaha! Did you google image search "red ferrari"? Is that how it started? All those glossy red curves are practically pornographic by themselves, never mind the naked Eames!

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes I did google that. I don't know how that happened, I am not a car person! The part of a car that gets me excited is the sensor that tells me I'm about to back over the neighbour's dog/small children, but even I couldn't resist that sleek red beast paired with Eames in the nip.

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

This is all kinds of gorgeous. I really like the juxtaposition of naked, vulnerable Eames and clothed, in control Arthur.

[motetus.livejournal.com]

I am a huge fan of naked/fully clothed sex, there's something very powerful and very dirty about it. Also, clothes = much more fun and easier to draw than all that naked flesh!

Thank you very much for your comment! :)

[unusual-lullaby.livejournal.com]

gorgeously awesome!!

[motetus.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, and apologies for the late reply!

[sofia-gigante.livejournal.com]

This is friggin' gorgeous in so many ways. Weirdly, I think what I love the most about it is the light and shadows. Gives the whole scene such a great mood.

I just discovered your work, and I'm looking forward to seeing more!

[motetus.livejournal.com]

I've grown to realise that interesting lighting is what makes a picture, and it has such a huge effect, more than anything else, on the overall mood of something. This one was a challenge for me though, because I always want to have faces with a lot of light on them and so keeping them low contrast and in the dark very much went against my instincts, so I'm really happy you like how it ended up!

Thank you so much for your comment, and I'm glad you're looking forward to more, as I have a few more finished drawings for Inceptiversary that I'll be posting over the next couple of weeks.
