I'm decloaking (lurked for long time) to invite lovers of female muscle to my comic/graphic novel, Same New Woman, at Deviant Art: http://anarcha.deviantart.com

I wasn't quite finding what I wanted in FMG-land so this is my attempt to create something interesting to me. I'm a lesbian so I was surprised find myself creating this story around a heterosexual couple–but I guess I'm fascinated by the gender and power impacts on this type of relationship that her physical changes bring on.

I would like to know if anyone else besides me enjoys the story–it's been on DA since July with little activity, so I'm curious to find out. I've been waiting to get it perfect before announcing it here to my main intended audience but perfection just gets further and further out of reach so no better time than now.

The first chapter is nearly all up. I would so appreciate your comments, suggestions, even a brief hello to let me know you're out there!

Hi Anarcha, I like the story so far and am looking forward to seeing how much it 'grows' on me in future installments!

Welcome then.Lurking can sometimes get annoying when you feel you have to participate.
Anyway,you have a recognizable and personal style that I appreciate.You've obviously put a lot of work into each and every piece there,and I hope to see more of you in the future.
It's nice to explore different domains and relationships every now and then.
I really liked the story so far,the narration is excellent,and the feelings seem more than realistic.I'm also surprised why I haven't seen this before,as I regularly browse for such comics on DA.
Anyway,good job,and hope to see you around more!

From one lurker to another, I really enjoy your story so far and can't wait to read more. 😀

I'm quite impressed. It's slower and deeper than almost any other attempt at 'serious' fmg. I particularly like the atmosphere of it, the creeping hallucinatory nature of the ordeal. Keep it up.

Thank you so much for visiting and commenting. Until I posted here the other day, the story had gotten little attention over at DA so I was wondering if it was just not baked enough, or perhaps of no interest to anyone else but me!

I was so excited to see your interest and kind remarks that I plunged into a new panel that I just put up at DA, so let me know what you think. My hope originally for sharing "Same New Woman" was to connect with others for whom the story resonates and create a motivating feedback loop–in other words, to draw faster and better. It may not be evident :-, but I'm one of the slowest artists ever. Now I can see there will more panels coming soon!

@ Fett– glad to hear, that is the atmosphere I'm aiming to create.

It's wonderful. Your painterly style is charming and I love your snapshots of people and places around Marita. The story is reflective, and that – as you've mentioned – is a most unusual blend for FMG… which makes it all the more outstanding. You've captured the slice-of-life feel so well, I thought there were some classic moments, like when Marita couldn't get her bicep through the new shirt sleeve… or having to do a bridge position to get her pants on.

As for pageviews, it's often said in the marketing circle that "no matter how good your product is, if no one knows about it, it won't sell!" So posting here is a good start. That's how I started my 'FM art career' too xD And you can be sure that the good folks here will give you plenty of attention and encouragement to continue and improve your art. Don't expect your art to be perfect, but know that with each new creation, you're taking a step farther along the journey. All the best!
