Tennendo: the Art of Torashiro
I
originally posted about Tennendo way back on April 26, 2006 at
Amaz0ns.com. It's been quite some time since I've written about it, and I think it deserves more attention from female physique fans. Here's what I said back then:
The
gallery at
Tennendo ( 天然画廊 ) features a few ladies with muscle. It's mainly a Street Fighter fan art site with interesting pictures of a Elena & a female Alex ( Ale-ko アレ子 ) from SF3, and a muscular rendition of Felicia from Darkstalkers. It's also worth while to browse through his
Oekaki for some more gems. I've
posted before about this oekaki but only recently discovered the gallery and site behind it. For your convenience, here are links to his archives of oekaki pics which feature female muscle: (

has changed a lot since my last post. The images are totally different over at
the new gallery and a bunch of old images have been taken down. What hasn't changed is the penchant of the artist, Eiji TORASHIRO ( 虎白英治 ), for depicting Women of Unusual Size ( bonus points if you catch this obscure reference ). Of particular fascination to the artist are CAPCOM characters Felicia and Alex. Interestingly, the artist seems to be fond of depicting Alex as a female. Gender-bending of this sort is referred to as "bliss" in some circles. The character is sometimes referred to as "Bliss Alex". The origin of this term comes from
Midnight Bliss, an attack by another CAPCOM character that results in a temporary sex change for the victim. Or at least I think that's where it comes from. Here are a few of the eye-catching new images from the main site:
One of the oekakiBBSes has been taken down, but there's plenty to be found in the
remaining BBS. You'll find many images of Bliss Alex there:
