Woot! Collaboration with a wonderful friend of mine to color a line-up drawing I had done of nine of my favorite original fellas, and here it is, showing off their swimwear just in time for summer! I draw all of these gentlemen from time to time, but I thought it would be especially cool to have them in one place, and present some short bios for each as well! Hope you enjoy them! ^_^ (they read from left to right) (He did such a good job on the colors!)
Huge thanks to  guerillasquirrel for the colors, texturing and background painting!
