That photoshop leaves little trace of tampering.  Do you have the original?

Photoshop does produce seamless works, however, there is the flaw coming from deformed text as the give away to the manipulation.  Usually its best to use pictures that have little or no text in them if you're going to perform muscle growth manipulations.  Another program would be Glimp – Silent One (author of The Necklace and other stories) who had both programs and told me that he preferred its manipulation tools over that of PS and admittedly, the samples he showed me were incredibly seamless.

here is the original i used…now you can see my lack of exp.

I have that cover in my Tonya Knight filefolder.   😀  At the height of her popularity she could be found on the covers of a number of BB publications – even a Christmas motif for Ironman.  Tho, one of my personal favorates was the three-fold centerspread she did for Muscular Development . . .  😛

My first shot at working with photoshop.

And we Thank You for your support!  😎

Looks like a case of mass transference – but then, if you're going to steal buffness, steal the best.  😮

The trouble with such a subject and topic is that it means different things to different people.

So true – is it art, is it erotica or is it pornography . . . I’m reminded about something that one of the US Supreme Court Justices (whose name eludes me at the moment) once said on the topic – words to the effect – that he couldn't define it, but knew it when he saw it.

I'm also reminded of a scene from the novel "The Agony and the Ecstasy" by Irving Stone about the nude works that Michelangelo was painting for the Sistine Chapel, not the ceiling, but a much later work The Last Judgment.  So offended by the blatant portrayal of the naked human bodies – male as well as female – that one of the Vatican officials (been many years since I read it, he might also have been a Cardinal) demanded that he paint over the "naughty parts" by placing underwear upon them.  Of course, it’s never wise to piss off an artist – so Michelangelo painted the official into the work (wrapped up in a snake, conveniently protecting his male modesty) being shoved into Hell.  Needless say if he was angry before, he was outraged then and properly complained to the Pope – who upon inspecting the work pronounced (with a sly wink and nod to Michelangelo) that if he had been painted into Purgatory he would pray for his release, but from Hell there is no reprieve.

What about a crossover DC-Marvel, with Titania vs Knockout? 😀

Other then artwork renditions by Yatz, Burgos, etal I'm not all enthusiastic about corporate crossover issues, they never seems to live up to the expected expections for the respective fan(s) base(s).  Case in point, the recent JLAvengers – the artwork was fantastic, but the plot was all too predictable, to say nothing about the feeling of compression to the storyline.  At a minimum, the series should have ran for six and not four issues.

Thank you for your support and posting these links to the She-Hulkie scans.  😎

[Interesting, I didn't know that Wilfred was still actively involved with the GTS community.]

I'll only add this much, given the nature of CN's scheduling, it probably would be wise to still keep a regular check on the listings, just in case they decide to run any of them in the time in-between now and the beginning of next year.

Also, since they seem to be so reluctant to advertise the program in their promo pieces it might be best that if anyone learns of any airing dates (new or repeats) to speak up here so that the rest of us are aware of them.  😎

Very nice, Sir Yatz!

So the Big Guy likes them Amazonian Muscle Chicks, guess Lois better drop that rake thin look and start seriously hitting the weights . . .  😎

Sounds to me like a bloody good idea….I really hope it works. Time some of these muscular lasses got recognition for their efforts.
🙂

Aside from the fleeting glory of recognition for their extraordinary efforts, a far more pragmatic aspect for their financial well-being would be equal prize money to that of the boys and even more importantly, product endorsements and sponsors willing to help support their careers.

Of course, this brings up the issue of marketablity . . . and the only way that's going to come about is if they take the overuse and abuse of drugs out of the equation.

Checked my VCR taped programs tape from Saturday, October 8 and no back to back episodes of JLU – after an obligatory (What the F—?) it seems that it was not listed in the TV Guide for its normal air time as had been stated on-line at the TV.com site.

In short, it now seems that the new episodes of JLU have been put off / rescheduled to air again on Sunday, January 1, 2006.  😥

For subjects, typically, the way I work is when I come across a prospective subject with an appropriative Gammazon, GTS or SW pose I save an extra copy of it in a special folder on my computer, which helps to cut down searching through my Amazonian archive collection.  It then is only a matter of matching the right background with the right model.

Just as a case in point, here's one of Mari Kudla that I came across today at the Andy's Muscle Goddesses / amg-lite website on the Burnie Grayson photography page http://www.amg-lite.com/burnie_grayson/

Its the prime example of the kind of pose that practically radiates that she's a GTS leaning against a skyscraper.
