Tickling Artists #77: Interview with Alanunderfoot

1) Do you want to tell us something about yourself and your art?

Well, my name is Alex, i’m behind the Alanunderfoot name, i’m a 29 years old guy, with a lot of love of male feet fetish, I start doing my art just cause when I was like 13. I was looking for my favorite anime characters feet, and the content was really limited, sooo I wanted to draw many things; on the time my skills gets better and better, and now I can’t say i’m an artist without the help of all the public

2) What techniques do you use to draw? Do you have a favorite artist that inspires you? 

When I first started, I received a lot of love for my work on Pineomatic art and Shadowaspect. That was so long ago, and my goal back then was to create art like they did, focusing on characters I felt deserved some tickle content. In high school, I made a great friend who introduced me to a software called Paint Tool SAI. I began experimenting with its tools and created my first piece of art. With practice and the work I put in, it quickly became my favorite software. It was so important to me that I even listed it as a skill on my professional CV, haha.

Later, when I started working, I didn’t have much time to draw on the computer, so I tried drawing on my phone, but it was a mess. Then, a friend sold me an iPad and introduced me to Procreate. I tried it out just like I had with Paint Tool SAI, and it quickly became my favorite tool for drawing, just like before, hehe. Now, I’ve got a new PC, and I downloaded Krita. So, when I get some free time, I’ll give it a try—who knows, it might become my new favorite tool!

3) How much was the passion for drawing born in you? And the one for the tickle?

I think it all started with my own interest in seeing my favorite characters in tickle scenes. As I noticed many people liked it, I learned how to do trades and commissions through various experimental situations, haha. Now, I think a lot of people enjoy what I create, and I hope they feel the same excitement I did when I finally saw my favorite characters in the scenes I always imagined as a child. That’s what motivates me to keep doing what I love.

4) What are the tickling scenarios that you prefer to draw?

Definitely the plastic-wrapped tickle scenes, because I think that’s my favorite tickling experience. The victim can’t escape or do anything—just accept the torment and try to resist. Another good one is the medieval stocks art, as it’s a fantasy I’ve had all my life since I saw a TV show where a guy suffered it with two goats licking his soles.

5) What are the aspects of tickling that you intend to represent with your art? Example: the laughing, the wriggling, the relationship between tickler and ticklee?

I try to make the art look natural and real, like it’s organic—the real suffering, the expressions, the body language, and even the feet’s reaction to each situation. I always strive to make each piece of art different and keep it original.

6) Online there are countless photos and videos of tickling sessions. In your opinion, what do illustrations offer more than images of real life?

Probably fantasies—many of my artworks depict impossible situations and characters that don’t exist. I think they are two completely different types of content because I enjoy this kind of kink with fictional characters much more. Sometimes I’d rather see Naruto than Henry Cavill, but it always depends on my mood. I think people are the same; everyone has their own interests. 😉

7) In your opinion, what makes tickling so interesting for fans of this phenomenon?

In my opinion, one thing I love about being a foot fetishist is that feet are more than just a body part. They’re super sensitive, they have a distinct smell, and they have a sexy shape. There are so many ways to interact with them. When it comes to tickling, there are countless ways to tickle-torture, with many tools to use. Everyone can find their favorite, and that makes it a lot of fun for me when I draw because there’s always something new to explore.

8) What are your works of which you are most proud?

9) Do you have any particular artistic goals for the future?

Not really, I think everything I do is what I wanted to do in the moment. I’m happy with what I’m doing, and I love not knowing what’s coming next in my art.

10) Do you think AIs will end up enriching or impoverishing the art of tickling representations?

Nah, as I said before, there are many different preferences when it comes to fetish art. So, even if AI improves and stops making its usual mistakes with toes and fingers, I know people will still keep asking for original art and ideas. AI can never replace the feeling of creating something on your own as an artist. 😉
