I tried to come up with a variety of body types and personalities for these guys just as a way to push my drawing a little. I tend to rely on a few standard head shapes, hair styles and bodies when sketching men leading to a sameness. Hopefully over the next couple of busy weeks I'll draw a bunch more thus creating a whole army of beefy cavemen.
While sketching I started picturing a Saber-toothed caveman and had to draw him. I always love drawing the big underbite jaw and this guy's is huge! He'd probably poke his own eyes out with those chompers!j.

Nice work. I love 'em.
Great variety of body types and languages.
Some are kinda cute, too.
Hi J! Love the cavemen, and I hope we'll see more of them! On a completely unrelated note, I was wondering if you're familiar with Benoit Prevot. I picked up the first issue of his comic Angelface in Paris recently, and I thought you might appreciate his work. His men are absolutely beautiful, with a wonderful vintage 30s feel. Check out his site at www.benoitprevot.com - he also has a Blogspot blog linked from there.
Cheers,
Andrew.
kt - Thanks.
fp - Is it odd to find cavemen cute? I confess I really like the saber toothed guy but probably wouldn't if he was actually a real live person. Partly because of his huge teeth and partly because he's probably got wicked, bad B.O. :)
Andrew W - Thannks, man. I found out about Benoit through Meatcute...and I love his art. I have a link to his website but hadn't checked out his blog. Many thanks for the link.
And I definitely want to get his book. Do you know if it's been translated to English?

Finding cavemen cute... Well, I'd rather find a caveman cute than some of the current crop of guys I see in gay magazines. At least, the caveman would be pretty authentic.
Prevot's comic will be published by Class Comics, but I don't know when.
But after my own comic, which will be out next month. Yay!
