MC Illustration/ The G* Stereotypes



OMG! Finally after postponing for a long time this illustration, I made it happen.

There's not such thing as different kind of gay guys, but definitely there's some Stereo-types; like in the real and everyday life. For example: the nerd guy, the smart guy, the popular guy, the jock guy, etc... In the gay community, you can also easily say what kind of gay a guy is.

I tried to show the most common and the simplest to represent.



1. BusinessMan. They are the kind who wear suits and go to work in offices. Very straight looking, hunky, grown-up, non-twink, sexy, toned and muscled men but not bodybuilders. Usually guys in their thirties and forties.

2. Cowboy. They like to go horse ridding, rodeos, country music and activities outdoors. Very hard worker men with a masculine body.

3. Twink Is the goodlooking and cleancut young man. Often blond and dimpled, with smooth and usually hairless skin, flawless complexion, and frequently tanned. They are young and with a cute face.

4. Buff. They have the muscular and weightlifter's body that has been shaped and refined through hours of blood, sweat, and tears in gyms. It is a manufactured body, created by thousands of man-hours of backbreaking bench presses, flyes, butterfly curls, dips, and other iron-pushing maneuvres, executed in a four-on, one-off punishing schedule of gym-going. They eat healthy and they like to show up is body on the dance floor.

5. Leather. They are the kind who wear leather, jeans, harness and jockstraps. Into BDSM, Exhibitionism & SM. Also enjoy having though sex or sex in public. They have usually different kinds of body. Mostly guys in their forties or fifties. The Folsom Street Fair is their annual street fair held on the last Sunday in September and caps San Francisco's "Leather Pride Week".


6. Bear. Tend to have hairy bodies and facial hair; some are heavy-set; some project an image of working-class masculinity in their grooming and appearance, though none of these are requirements or unique indicators. Typically very similar in appearance to the ideal of the North American lumberjack.

So here are the types, which one are you?
