David Talaski-Brown is a Portland, Oregon-based artist, husband, and chihuahua dad. He's been drawing, sculpting, and clicking his way around MS Paint for as long as he can remember. Eventually, David ended up in the animation program at the now deceased Art Institute of Portland, mostly focusing on 2D animation. He didn't end up in animation but instead landed in a studio making art for video games.
Talaski-Brown is also working on his personal projects, one of which is a cool drawings series where he turns male superheroes into classic pinup models.

Of I do that, I will not take only 20 seconds to do it. More like wash my hands during 20 hours instead.

Oh hell, there goes my panties again! They just fly off every time I see this man. I thought for sure it wouldn't happen if Momoa was a cartoon....I thought wrong....

To those who know him, these funny drawings shouldn't have come as a surprise. "Comics and superhero movies were both activities my husband and I did together when we first started dating, so they've become a significant part of our relationship. Even when they aren't good, they're an event that we always look forward to," David told Bored Panda.
The artist started developing the character designs about 2 years ago, when he started dipping his toes in local conventions and online sales for his personal work. "I was going to table at my first convention and I felt like I had nothing to sell that people would want to buy," David recalled. "I had an idea of illustrating famous superheroes in the pinup girls style akin to Elvgren and Vargas."

dis pic proves that thor cant go anywhere without his hammer(just in case a villain gives a surprise attack on thor while showering)
"What I love about vintage pinup drawings, and what I think makes it appealing is that it walks the line between erotica and comedy. It's sexy enough to make you blush and ridiculous enough to not take it seriously. Basically, erotica you can hang on your walls and still have mom over."
David said he also saw these cartoon drawings as a good opportunity to make art for nerds who are attracted to men. "There are a lot of us. There's always a plethora of art depicting scantily clad women at every other convention booth, so why not give some of the MCU's hottest hunks the same treatment? It only seems fair, right?"

Does anyone else notice the "<3 U 3000" on the brick wall behind? :..(

Does this remind anyone else of the little Coppertone girl in the ads from the late 1950's through the 1970's?

This is how RDJ persuaded Jeremy Renner to take the role of Hawkeye,, but with a thong. :D (yes, i am aware that this was just a ComicCon joke;) )
So, he began the series depicting some of the most popular guys from the MCU like Thor, Captain American, Dr.Strange, etc. "After that, I started making ones I would get frequent requests for like Loki and Bucky," David said. "I most recently stepped out of the MCU and took on Momoa's Aquaman because how couldn't I? I mean, look at him. I'm not sure which one I'll do next. I have ideas for a few from both Marvel and DC. Maybe some from other media as well."
Talaski-Brown's take on the genre really does honor its early creators. With origins in the 1890s, the erotic but always safe for work pin-up girls took off in the mid-20th century, when American men were hanging up their calendars on their walls.

Maybe this didn’t capture Loki’s handsomeness, but the overall idea is something I can totally see him doing.

I f*****g LOVE this one. He’s not posing in a sexy way, it’s the Cloak of Levitation making it erotica. It’s so creative.

I f*****g love how the cape is pulling at his clothes rather than him deliberately posing in a sexy way. So creative.

Thoroughly bizarre yet oddly enjoyable at the same time. I suppose it goes to show just how strange some of the classic female pinup advertisements were. I do love Thor's slippers.

I like what one person said is that you never really realized how ridiculous the original pin ups were until you see it done like this with male celebrities....

I dunno. Do one with the female superheros in classically tough guy macho poses. It would look equally silly. Have them topless and flexing in that Superman stance holding a giant weapon.
