Click the image for the original at DeviantART. Slightly NSFW for tiny drawn nipples, if you care.
I discovered the fantastic image to the right, by ‘shiniez’ on DeviantART, while trawling for artists the other day. His work is amazing. The guy’s playful, imaginative and – let’s be honest here, it’s important and surprisingly rare in fetish art – can actually draw.
Topping is an extremely rewarding activity, but it takes a lot out of you. Sure, you can improvise what you have planned for your willing bottom on the spot, but more often than not it ends up being disconnected and cliché, and you run the risk of missing something from a safety perspective. I’m a great proponent of thinking what you’re going to do through before you do it.
It lets you address safety concerns while still maintaining the illusion of danger or peril – and if your scene isn’t heavily based around illusion, you need to think very carefully about how you’re playing.
Anyway, enjoy the image, check out the rest of the guy’s work, and don’t be on fire.
