Ah, a thought provoking thread

Honest to goodness, Mr Fett, I wish you'd draw more though.

As for me... [begin philosophical rant]

I started drawing muscular women because it conveniently expressed my inner state of being. My earlier drawings were rough and aggressive, because I felt oppressed by the outside world. Whenever I felt weak, I'd draw (so to speak) on the explosive power of these women.

After meeting my husband, he encouraged me to express myself. So for the first time, I openly drew muscular women. My drawings were initially shy, then more daring. After joining amaz0ns, they became liberating. The community opened my eyes to the beauty and strength of the muscular form, and from that, I began to see the beauty and strength in myself.

Neon Black told me, "Learn all you can and then strengthen your Soul, before you strengthen your flesh, and make all the World your Path and your teacher." That's what I want to strive for. My art mirrors my progress, and while far from smooth, has been steady.

I thank you, Collector, for your kind words. They have given new meaning to my artwork, and I'm deeply touched.

i suppose i like to draw fmg becuase i have a natural talent for drawing.  i inherited that from my dad's side, and i try to draw anything and everything that comes to my mind.  i have drawn human bodies, normal and exaggerated, buildings, cars, fight sequences, comics, and so on, i originally liked drawing fmg not becuase it was hot, but that it was different. whenever there's a joke of muscle, everyone expects it to be on a male, however, when you draw something that's unconventional, it looks cool.  besides, isn't that what an artist is supposed to be? being a bit odd, and expresses his or her emotions through their art?

Because back in 1987, nobody else I knew was drawing them. Seriously, I thought, "Ok, if women are gonna be superheroic, why the hell don't they look like it?" I drew my first draft of Andrah back in 1987 when I was in the military, and I never looked back. I'm told I'm kinda good at drawing them, too.


A more contemporary reason is because I feel that muscular women are often reviled or misunderstood; mind you, a lot of it is deserved. Still, not all of them are alike, and i feel the need to make that distinction in the majority of my work. Sure, I like to draw eye-candy as much as anyone else, but by drawing muscular women in a positive light, I might possibly bring a little bit of a positive slant to the perception of them. Andrah, who is arguably the most popular and recognizable of my women over the years, is known more for her spirit and heart than her strength...and THAT is a big victory, at least on a personal level, because I've gotten people to look at at least ONE massive woman as something other than a ballcrusher.

Dayum. For young 'uns like me thats. Wow. Thats a long time ago. So is this the golden age of FMG? :p

Please don't beat me with your walking stick.
