I’m sorry about posting this image, I really am. It’s pretty fucked up.
It has been lurking on my hard drive for months now. I could never decide what to do with it. It’s a little like that bottle of viciously strong but heinous tasting liquor that gets left after a party. You can’t image any situation where you’d want to drink it, but also can’t quite bring yourself to throw it away. In this case, having just put up a post about guns and girls, I figured it was now or never. So here it is.
The reason I considered posting it at all was my odd reaction to it. It’s an image where my mental backstory makes a significant difference to how I perceive it. If I imagine that the gun is empty, and it’s all just a massive headtrip they’re running on the slave, then I think it’s a very hot image. The two women engrossed in each other, together with their extreme mental cruelty to the bound man, is arousing. Albeit in a twisted fucked up way (my favorite kind). On the other hand, if I imagine the gun is loaded, and he’s about to be shot in the head, then I hate it with a passion. That’s twisted at a level I just can’t get my head around. I can’t think of any other images that I’ve had such an extreme reaction to, based on how I project into them.
I believe the artist for this goes under the handle of Tink. His (or her) work has featured here in the past (this for example), but I’ve never tracked down any biographical information or a good hosting site for his/her images.
Hi paltego,
Pictures on their own don’t carry specific meanings. Propagandists have used that to great effect. I think it’s more to the point that pictures spark meanings in us viewers. Frankly, I think the girl in the lime dress is his sister and his GF has loaded the gun with her “Golden Nectar.”
Happy Valentines Day!

…and by the way, I love this picture. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks Scott. Glad you liked it. I never thought about the gun as a ‘water’ pistol. That’s a great 3rd alternative that I like!

“On the other hand, if I imagine the gun is loaded, and he’s about to be shot in the head, then I hate it with a passion.”
I agree, there’s nothing sexy about murder porn. But the image can be quite sexy even if it is loaded (provided that she doesn’t shoot), how little significance the tied up and naked slave has to the two dominant women.
So often femdom hinges on the domme paying lots of attention to her sub. For example the previous image of Mistress Trish whipping and smiling. This image, seems to go the other way, remaining sexy, but downplaying the sub. Heck, he’s not even in focus.
It’s funny, but as soon as I imagine bullets in the gun (no matter if she doesn’t shoot) it stops working for me. Which obviously isn’t to say the scenario you describe can’t work for you and others, it’s just that’s my tipping point where my mental storyline is no longer hot. Weird how that works, based on what the viewers project into the scene.
And you’re completely right about the downplaying of the sub. That’s one of the things that I really like about the image, that they’re so taken up in each other.

Hello there, i was surprised this picture was still around….it seems such a long time ago. When I did it, the intention was to leave the ambiguity there, so you could bring what you wanted to it. You are right about the sub – he is sort of superfluous – I was more interested in how the two women were looking at each other at the time> If anyone got to see some of the other stuff I did on Renderotica some of it was more extreme, but I think I almost wanted this to look romantic (if thats not too odd). I havent done any femdom stuff in a long time, but if anyone is interested, the last pictures (not much femdom) are up on deviantart:

Hi Tink2001,
Thanks for dropping by and adding some background information to this picture. Really glad to hear from you.
I think I have all the stuff you published on Renderotica saved on my hard drive somewhere, and I’m sure I’m not alone in that. So I wouldn’t be surprised to see your older pictures continuing to pop up in different forums.
From a selfish personal perspective it’s a real shame you haven’t done any femdom stuff for a long time, as you were one of the most interesting and talented artists working in that field.
Thanks for the link to your last set of pictures. If I surface anymore stuff of yours I’ll be sure to include that in the post.
