'Redcap and Deserter' added to Archive

 'Redcap and Deserter' stars Tibor Urgay and a yet-to-be identified model.

If you think this is ancient history, Tibor Urgay arrived in the UK as a refugee from the Communist regime in Hungary after the 1956 uprising. As I write these words, thousands of Hungarian gays are protesting in Budapest against the government ban on their 'Pride' event, part of a rising new wave of gay oppression in that country.

John Skilling & Fred Collins Getting to Grips

 I have just finished adding a new set to the Royale Gallery, 

Fred Collins Wrestles with John Skilling (FJWR) 

 

It was one of the earliest 'storyettes' advertised in Jun1958

some nude shots. 

Tibor Urgay and Fred Collins duals added to the gallery

 

Fred and Tibor perform gymnastic poses in TIFC1 & 2

Two sets added to the Royale Gallery show Fred Collins and Tibor Urgay posing together, naked and in shorts. The themes are related to the honourable pursuits of gymnastics and wrestling, degenerating into horseplay and a rare spanking image.

  See TIFC Profile Page for the background to this set and a direct link to the Gallery.

New Folders added to the Open Archive

Soldier-Sailor - Fred Collin's dismay re-imagined by AI

 

I have today (belatedly) uploaded 2 major folders to the Royale Open Archive

Royale 15 Soldier Sailor (FJSS)
Royale 16 PT Class (Hussar)

(these links go to the set profile at this blog, archive link below)

The Folders in the on-line Open Archive contain all the images known to me from these sets, including copies of the same image obtained from different original sources. Also included are AI-enhanced versions of the images which were produced for display in the Gallery blog. Intermediate steps of the enhancement process are also included. 

Above is shown one of the weirder AI results.
The authentic (unenhanced) image is shown below.

24 Royale/Hussar sets are now included in the archive, plus 10 model profiles (not all complete).

Tibor Urgay cycling set completed

Tibor Urgay TIB1-04

 

I have completed the posting of Tibor Urgay's first solo set for Royale,

where he poses in shorts with his bicycle.

Below I have added some AI experiments with one of the images.

Tibor Urgay - The Cyclist (image TIB1-09)

 

 

 

This is the original magazine illustration of image 9

It was printed in 'Jr.' magazine No 39, in 1970,  

long after Royale and Hussar had gone out of business.

The same image, cropped. Tibor's shorts are baggy, crumpled and wet,

afflicted with 'noise', but there's an enticing bulge at his groin 

 

The same image enhanced with AI. 

Smoother skin tones and an enhanced 'lump'

But there's a slight fuzziness in the facial detail

 

 

AI Level 30

 

As the AI correction is tweaked up, the face begins to change.

His torso muscles and groin gain more emphasis.

 

AI Level 50

 

Tibor begins to morph into another person with a baby face.

His shorts become less crumpled at waist level but less tight down below.

The belt seems to fade away.

 

AI Level 70

 

As the power is tweaked up, the face becomes leaner, younger, the hair a little wild

His torso is much more tightly defined.

His shorts look more wet and crumpled than ever, all shaping lost.

But an astonishing level of detail appears in the belt.

 

AI Level 80

 

The face becomes more mature and thoughtful, hair neatly coiffured.

The belt disappears altogether, arm muscles noticeably enhanced.

But the shorts acquire tightness round the legs.

 

AI Level 90

 

A distinctly suggestive shape surfaces at his crotch.

Thigh shading is more subtle.

 

 

AI Level 95

 

Hair becomes less flamboyant, more natural.

Irregularities at waist level are smoothed out.

The shorts look tighter.

 

AI Level 100

A dangling lock of hair and facial changes suggest Asian characteristics

The shorts acquire a waistband with slogan 

The Guys in Uniform connection

 A spanking image from Royale's storyette 'The Cheat' (1959), 
juxtaposed with an ad for 'Guys in Uniform' in 'Mister SM' magazine in 1976.  

The moody 'Guys in Uniform' illustration suggests the seated athlete is in for similar treatment.
The 'through the legs' composition is straight out of the Royale playbook,
e.g. Soldier-Sailor images 14 & 15

There's a selection of Guys in Uniform posts at the mitchmen blog. 
I have now linked them all together for ease of reading.

PT Class upgrade

PT Class 01 by Hussar

 I have now completed the upgrading of images of the 'PT Class' storyette and reposting it to the Archive. I should say 'playlet' since this was a Hussar branded set and that term was one of the ways they differentiated themselves from Royale.
