[Reason]

true. and the only good reason. i like the look. i'm thankful that there are those ladies and that they have their sites and their life. i hope they continue what they are doing for a long time to come. in some ways they are an elite, and i'm aware of the fact that my so called deepest secret wishes of someday meeting one will not come true and i'm pretty sure that the ladies do not think very high of us artists or fanboys or whatever you want to call us, because it is easier for them to think of us in such a way, (we, at least i, regard them as sexobjects, which is not a very pleasing thought for them, i guess. ) so i try not to go deeper because that would not be satisfactory for either side and would only lead to mischief.

thank you ladies for the inspiration you are to me.

I think the days of female bodybuilders exclusively dating male bodybuilders are well and truly over, so you may one day get your wish. Don't forget that they are into the look as well, albeit from a different perspective, so at least you have that in common.

I'm not sure if all them look down on us fanboys, either. I mean a lot of us have a great deal of respect for the combination of genetics and dedication it takes to achieve that look. I think it's that unique mixture of sexual attraction and awe that makes them so appealing and it's hardly a reason to look down on us.

Oh and to get back on topic, if I had to be completely honest, I would have to say that the reason I draw muscular females is that's what I fantasize about, and I just draw what I see in my head.

i hope you're right.

i tend to have my expectations not flying to high. in my reality i am constantly being put down for what i do.

and by the way, the thought of a equaly muscled couple having fun is very entertaining.

Well, I might have missed it, but I don't see any intro threads or sub-forums, so I might as well introduce my self here.  I'm on DA under the name 1stSurugi, probably because every time I've registered using that name till now, I forgot that there's a T in Tsurugi. 😛  But I digress.

Anyway, the reason I draw muscular women…  I think it all started when I was very little.  No, seriously it did. I think I was about 4.  I recall once looking at my mother, who I suppose fit the ordinary standard for attractiveness at the time, and deciding right then that there was something I didn't like about her physique.  Now mind you, I was already into girls my age, and somewhat older, but grown women typically held very little interest for me.

It wasn't till many years later that I was watching a show on ESPN, obviously a FBB show, and was able to *quickly* figure out what I wanted  ;).  Then there was the sudden, though pleasurable rise to prominence of muscular women in the media during the mid-late 90's. I particularly liked how they were being portrayed in comic books and I had quite a few to reference.  Eventually, I started to get bored with the fact that my mind was coming up with things that I didn't get to see in comics and elsewhere.  So at some point, I started taking pictures I saw in comics, and redrawing them for myself.  I was soon able to produce some half decent stuff of my own.

Then, in high school, I got into the works of Burne Hogarth, and I spent the better part of my freshman year learning proper anatomy, while using Bodybuilder mags for further reference.  The result was my first real attempt at an anatomically correct muscular form.  I told myself that I might draw a man, but I always knew it was going to be a chick.  I should post that one sometime.  From that point, I was able to draw a few more, and, in my senior year, I submitted this picture in my high school art show, damning all the small-minded insults to do so.  Got a LOT of positive feedback from girls with it though.

So, to conclude, I always had a thing for athletic women, particularly muscular ones, and I was constantly fed up with the fact that I couldn't find all that I wanted, so I had to make it myself.  So there 😀 Hope that wasn't too long winded.

Welcome 1st_Tsurugi! I do like your style, and you can rest assured that, had I been at that art show, I'd have been fully supportive. 😉

[1st_Tsurugi]

Thank you very much.  I appreciate it, and the welcome.  As it happens, the insults really didn't bother me that much; to me, it made them look stupid. 😉

well, it seems that i didn t see that topic before…

why i draw huge muscular women…

probably for the same reasons as most of you, because i like it!
more seriously, in that way, i can express some fantasms , i can see what i ll never see in real life…

"Why do you draw muscular females?"

I love drawing muscular human bodies.  I love the way the muscles of the body flow and intersect and work together, I've never grown tired of drawing muscular figures.  By the same token, I enjoy drawing the female form, for pretty much the same reasons.  The lines and shapes and general flow of the female physique are very attractive, and I never tire of trying to draw it.  Thus, drawing muscular females is… the Peanut Butter Cups of artwork for me, two things that I enjoy, combined into an even more enjoyable form.

And for me, drawing has almost always been strictly a hobby done for enjoyment.  Back in the early 90s I had strongly considered trying to make it in the comics business (and my skill at the time makes that a very unlikely possibility, even though I did get published two or three times), but an opportunity in IT opened up at my workplace and it was too good to pass up (computers being another of my great loves).  So these days I make a comfortable living while still being able to draw only what I want and only when I want it.  So even if no one else wanted to see my drawings of muscular females, I can draw them all day long without a care. 🙂

We'd like to see your renditions of female muscles, I know that's for a fact!

How could I miss this topic?

There are so many interesting stories… 🙂 Okay, most of them is quite boring. 🙂

And I haven't got an interesting one either. I draw them because they're sexy, and to keep my illusion alive that one day I can meet one of them…

PS: OH! A buttshot of Mimi! 🙂 Nice:)

I draw muscular women, because i can do it!  ;D

Seriously, it's because i'm interested in woman bodybuilding since 20 years. I looooove their muscular bodies! And it's a part of phantasm or something.
Because muscles are incredibly sexy on women. I think what i feel is a mix between aesthetics considerations and sexual attraction.

And another reason, this is maybe i'm crazy  😛 Most of the people i know would say that, they don't understand why i draw this sort of women.
