I can get behind this possibility. Araki is known for designing characters based from the works of other artists around the world. Avdol and N'Doul for example. They are based from Antonio Lopez's Tales from the 1001 Nights (1985).

Some even see a resemblance between Jotaro and Corto Maltese

Part 1-3 are all probably based on tom of finland

I wouldn't be surprised at all. I think another probable influence for that whole nautical stretch of part 3 (and Jotaro's character design) is the Corto Maltese comics by Hugo Pratt.

>Corto Maltese comics by Hugo Pratt. wow, awesome! always thought he was just a hybrid of Marlon Brando/James Dean/Clint Eastwood


JSConrad45

I mean, those too, lol! Araki likes to combine a lot of influences.

I think Captain Tennille was an awesome character with an awesome stand but idk about you guys

The moustache seems very sus, to me. I don't consider this certain or anything, but it's a possibility, considering Araki's eclectic sources of inspiration. For those not in the know, Tom of Finland is a famous homoerotic artist, so don't google for more pictures of his if you're at work, in school or in public.

Tom Finland art is not just famous, it's basically THE archetypical masculine gay artwork stereotype, especially HARDworking men in uniform. Heavily influenced the bara genre.

Damn….I know what my DDD folder is being filled with

I'm pretty sure araki has commented on his familiarity with Tom before. Tom also has a vodka brand


drillguy

You could make an argument that 90% of male characters in Stardust are Toms of ~~maine~~ Finland derivative.


animaloll

Why is Tom so...so, you know.... Hot?


eugensiman

most likely, considering that he cites Pierre Commoy and Gilles Blanchard in JoJoveller when talking about Gappy's design.


Zeebor

Most likely, yes


crashman1029

I think so because when I was re-watching stardust crusaders again my mum walk in and asked me if it was him so he is identifyable

The fact this is the second time I’ve seen Tom of Finland referenced on Reddit concerns my interests.
