For Science!  [--/M x20] by KitELcat For Science!  [--/M x20] by KitELcat
Okay, this is officially the most populated pic I've ever posted here--courtesy of the new drawing equipment, which actually had the resolution to allow this!  Twenty guys in... sorta-boring poses, but I felt the material allowed for it--the important part here is what's happening to 'em.  And I at least allowed for a few more body types too.

I actually put a lot of thought into this.  All fetishism aside, I'm pretty sure aliens would be fascinated by tickling--it's a seemingly paradoxical human response that would make no sense out of context.  So these guys happened to abducted for a lab presentation on the subject, for a LOT of testing.  And I wanted the experiments to actually be done properly, with control subjects.  They took pairs of guys with opposing traits, and are testing them for different reactions (after all, they don't KNOW that not all humans have the same response to ticklishness, right?  Well, they can learn here ;-))  Hopefully you can guess what the different tests represent based on the hologram monitors--maybe this should be another contest XD  I wanted to make the background even more high-tech, but that just got cluttered.  This was enough layers as it is!

Aaaand I don't think I'll be making an pics this big again for awhile @_@

I wanna be the mostly naked guy on his stomach on the upper rightish . I like to think he's getting probed at the same time .

I'm sure they'd love every test subject they can get, if you're sure XD

Heh, I tried to adjust the alien's position so it didn't look too nawtee.  But then again, I guess you can't see all four hands, can you?

OH NO!!! :O HOW DID I MISS THIS ONE?!!!! :O

Now here is something that will be every tickle/muscle lover’s dream come true! :D 20 guys stripped to their undies, bound, and tortured. And by aliens! :D There are so many possibilities when aliens are involved because they can use various tools and experiments for their science research. I love it!

I always imagined that aliens would take interest in the bellybutton because they are random holes/scars in their stomachs. They might think they are special human tunnels that lead to something special inside. So they experiment on them to figure out what that could be. :D But that is in my own fantasy world.

All those guys will probably be stuck there for hours, and maybe even days until the aliens come to satisfying conclusion.

And now that the aliens know who their test subjects are, all those guys might be brought back there every now and then for more tests and experiments. :D But I’m not complaining. They deserve that for being too attractive and muscular. :D ;)

You certainly put a lot of work in this one, and this is one of your best pieces ever! ;) I love it! You do incredible work!

Dunno, how DID you miss it? ;-)

Well, I was assuming the aliens gave them the matching silver undies.  For...consistency, I guess XD

I never thought about it that way, but yeah, aliens probably would find that fascinating.  A hole that doesn't do anything?  And sometimes sticks out?  How weird! XD

Wow, you're mean, I was assuming this was a one-shot deal, didn't think they could get it again later XD

Thanks muchly, glad this one has been such a hit!

I'm certain when I was deleting my messages, I deleted this one by mistake. :D

All wearing silver undies, except two guys. :D Maybe they needed one guy to wear clothes, and they ran out of underwear, so that guy had to stay naked. :D

Haha, right. :D The also have the word 'button' in them, so they keep pressing them until something happens. :D As a bellybutton lover, I had a lot of time to think about this. ;)

Maybe. Unless they willingly volunteer to come back again. ;) Who knows, they might like it. :D

You are spoiling everyone here:clap:. I wonder how long it took to draw all these different body types, since there's hardly any scenario that you missed (there might be something, but I'm not going to strain my brain). I love how every scenario doesn't seem at all random, but actually explores different aspects of tickling. I guess I better start off from upper left corner, and go clockwise.

Interesting design for the aliens, since four arms are so practical , especially when combined with levitation.

The two guys in the upper left corner are perfect polar opposites, both body and attitude wise, which must be why they're laid out next to each other.

The abs guys seem to have a similar reaction, so maybe the aliens want to see if melanin makes people more or less ticklish.

The purple haired punk, and the blindfolded average guy next to him must be there for training the aliens, though I can't tell which alien is teaching which.

The similarly built ticklees getting their ribs tickled are obviously there for comparison between bareback, and uniformed tickling.

The guys getting their noses tickled look like they were picked up from a bar brawl, since the one on the right seems to have a shiner, and the one on the left looks totally pissed, and willing to punch people, or aliens.

The nipple-and-ribs ticklees are probably there because different bodily builds also differ when it comes to sensitivity.

The pits ticklees are obviously there because the alines want to know if how tanned someone is influences sensitivity, or maybe it's about the amount of armpit hair.

The guy in the middle is obviously there to test if human ticklishness is symetrical. The aliens seem to be having trouble getting perfectly symmetrical test scenarios with the ticklee wiggling so much.

The belly buttons are probably Being tested to see if innies or outies are more sensitive.

The foot ticklees in the lower left corner seem to be the only one's actually taking notes, and the parameter could be anything from body type, height, tannes, hair colour, or whether it's the left or the right foot that's getting tickled.

The one on the bottom seems to be there to test for limits, or to see which spot is the worst, though the aliens are in for a surprise, since it differs from person to person.


Whoa, this was so long, and very satisfying. Thanks a bunchRatigan Smoke .

Heh, hope they're not getting spoiled...I don't expect to have time to do this very often.  I admit one time I plotted about making the Biggest Tickle Pic Ever on DA (I think it was like 40 guys) but I couldn't figure out how to make it interesting.  Even this, lots of variations on a simple pose, felt almost repetitive to me ^ ^;;

The two top corner guys are supposed to be a grizzled older guy and a young teenager, but I couldn't get the age details right at this scale.  Needs to be a larger page, I guess ^ ^;;  The abs guys were a test of body hair, the punk and his friend were sensory deprivation (hearing/sight/speech/taste gone...only touch left ;-)), the nose guys were brains for no apparent reason (the eye makeup is an American football thang...not sure why, though I find it hot XD), the pits guys were for hands vs tools, the belly buttons were just for bodyfat, and the lower left guys were the height difference (you know...if the distance between the brain and the feet somehow changes things XD).  And the bottom guy is a general test subject, but isn't it GOOD if they discover that people differ?  That just means more testing ;-)

Very glad you liked :-D  thank YOU!

Not me, I lowered my expectations years ago, and am now excited by every little tidbit I like. That might work better as a collaborative effort, though that would be rather tricky to pull off at the moment.

Ah, I see that I have much to learn. About the height thing, yes, someone with super fast reflexes would notice the difference, since it takes the signals a little longer to reach the brain.

Very glad you made:worship:.

Dude. Stop it. Just stop it. Always putting us all to shame. :XD: All I can say is HOLY CRAP! I don't want to even imagine how long this must've taken you to draw, not to mention coming up with all the different combinations of men to test on. lol I always thought aliens would be interested with tickling as well since it's probably unheard of in their own world. I think my favorite is the two guys laying on their stomachs with the aliens attacking their sides from behind. I always loved that position since it's so hard for the ticklee to defend. :giggle:

Heh, awww!  Well, thanks, but it also means having no life (or just staying in and trying to decompress)....I think it did get spread out over three weeks.  The planning and mapping out was more efficient than I thought, oddly.

I've always wanted to introduce an appropriately "sexy" alien species to tickling, but that's another story XD

That's a classic attack, to be sure.  I DEFINITELY should watch my back around you, though ;-p  Did the naked guy influence your choice at all there? XD

Seriously wow. I love that the aliens seem to be thoroughly enjoying this exacting work. It'd be fun to find out if they had similar responses. A species with double the armpits might well be fascinated by tickling. ;)

...gaaah.  Okay, now I feel like I missed an opportunity here!  I pondered different types of ticklers (including robots, and, believe it or not, sexy female aliens) before settling on the stereotypical Area 51 little guys.  At least it saved space.  But now I wonder what hunky aliens could've been like XD

Wow, this is awesome! I've always liked friendly/curious aliens tickling people, and as an academic I enjoyed the scientific rigor you put here =) It was really fun to guess the tests, and some stumped me! Here are my best guesses:
1. Lean vs not lean? Enjoying it vs not so much?
2. Hairy vs hairless chest
3. Blindfolded, gagged, earplugs vs not
4. Naked vs clothed
5. Full vs not so bladder
6. Short vs tall
7. Lean vs round stomach
8. Left vs right symmetry
9. Brushes vs fingers
10. Big chest muscles vs not
Bottom: baseline for each body part

Heh!  Well, you should've encouraged me to make it a contest cuz you probably would've won...

1 was age, the youngest vs oldest there.  Though I'm not really good at drawing age.  For 5, I didn't use a diagram, so that probably didn't help, but it's brain activity (ever been seriously tickled up the nose? *shudder* It IS like your brain is being probed).  Not that I really had a way of showing who was smarter, either ^ ^;;
Pretty much got the rest.  XD

Aw I should have! Retrospective prize? =P Oh well, this picture is super fun even with no contest prize ;)

1) Ah, gotcha. Should have known that factor was missing! What were the graphs supposed to show?

5) I suspected I got this one wrong because you were tickling their noses and their bladders are more south. It does look like a brain, now that I got bladder out of my head! =P Smartness is hard to convey visually, and the half-filled brain was a good choice =)

I should do more contest!

1) Eh, just general vital signs, however the aliens record theirs.

5) if I'd used a model I definitely would've drawn it differently ^ ^;;  I suppose I could've drawn a geek sort, but I had more outfits hashed out until I figured the silver underwear looked more lablike, so I guess I had characters in mind and ultimately just oversimplified.

:iconcuixilfer:
Cuixilfer Featured By Owner May 27, 2015
5) I reallllly like the silver underwear for some reason. It's simple, uniform, clinical, and matches the aliens' jumpsuits =) Also the fact that the aliens are clothed was interesting; they too have some sense of modesty? They did think to check "naked vs. not" in their studies... 

And not being able to tell who is smart or not based on appearance is a nice statement to accidentally make ;)

These findings will surely be of great value to the Galactic Federation. And the extra arms of these aliens make them the perfect testers to get really 'hands-on' with their subjects. 8)

Hard to pick my fave dude in this one. I love how you varied the bodies so much, and how the aliens are differentiating the tickling between each subject pair. They'll find a logical consistency to this 'tickling' phenomenon if they have to experiment for an entire orbit! All in the name of science, of course.
