ALEX: I'm not your lady and it wasn't that much amusement.

Pardon me, I stand corrected (bowing) – 'tis only being polite and well mannered, no offense was intended.  😎

EVERYONE:
You guys are leaving lots of comments and I am detecting some animosity from some of you…did I hit a nerve or anything? I'm not judging you, I'm not assuming things about you, I'm just asking questions because I'm not a dude and I'm not in your position so I'm curious. Another reason I ask is that every time I login, my Karma rating has dropped another point, so either one guy is doing it or some of you got mad at me for (probably) this post. I don't care about my Karma rating, I just don't want to hear that I pissed some of you off. If I did, I'm sorry, and please don't assume that I'm judging you because I'm asking questions.

Well, with some it certainly can be – making them extremely self-conscious about their own appearance.

On a related topic, in the past I've seen similar, shall we say, hostility, on the part of many men towards those few women that post in the news groups (AAWA) or FBBr fandom forums.  To be blunt, its one thing to be femuscular eye-candy, but once you start demonstrating that you got a personality with some real brains to go with the body you suddenly become a threat to their fantasy.

I think the funniest thing about this thread is that I asked you guys to use a certain group of words to describe yourselves and next to none of you used them. 😀 That just made me laugh for some reason.

Easily corrected, my Lady – Buffed and Very Strong here.  😀

And 'tis my pleasure to bring some amusement into your day . . .  😎

Natural bodybuilder here, been consistently working at it since High School.  Not blocky/bulky huge, but impressively large – but then I'm also tall, so that only adds into the matrix.  😎

Cool!  Lovely morph! 

(It reminds me of a morph I saw as a young lad, back in those golden days when I'd typed 'giantess' into a search engine for the first time and amazed that other people thought it was a cool idea.  There's an oriental girl in a bikini, seemingly oblivious to the fact she's pushing over the Washington monument with one hand.  Perhaps you know the one?)

Thanks for posting, man!

You're welcome.   😎

Can't say as I do of that particular one you're describing, probably because I never really followed the collagers when I first got online, I was then – and still am, far more into writing fictional stories (thanks to the encouraging inspiration first given to me by Lady Rojo and Hi-Standard to do so.)  Only much later did I start in on photo manipulations.  However, that being said, the closest one that I can recall seeing in that vein would be one that's (maybe, unless he's changed it?) posted over on the main page of Pete's GTS Magic website.  It has a GTS leaning against the Eiffel Tower.  😮

Started with reading the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert A Heinlein and it only grew* from there . . .  😎

*I just couldn't resist that one.

Where are the stories and artwork? All that's left is the discuusion page. What's going on???

Seems that under this new setup, Guests only see the public access forums.  As for the rest of them, you have to log-in (I'm assume you've registered a nickname w/password?) and after that the rest of the "hidden" forums (which includes the stories and artwork) will then appear.

Alex you already know what I'm going to say so I'll leave it at that.  😛

**Mystified** (impishly smiling) and what is that (proding – :wink:) if one may ask?   😀

Being a regular Smallville viewer here at The High Castle, I can only say wunderful!!!

Oh, and just to keep this thread on topic…

BTW – Just for the record, artificially matching the shadow coloration with all of its alternations in hue and tone in a pre-existing background can sometimes be one of the hardest parts of pulling off a plausible collage.

But the results were worth the trouble! I've seen too many collages and morphs where the perpetrator just stuck a model he'd cut away from its background and stuck it into a new picture without making any effort (or at least minimal effort) into making the kind of color adjustments, postulating shadows, even the effects of atmosphere on the picture. The effort you put into your pics is much appreciated!

I know wherein you speak – verily I do.   😎   Few seem to take the time to master the techniques of photo manipulation – as say, for example Unzipped did with his She-Hulk photo manips, many of which are still proclaimed as amongst the best ever done.  In my opinion doing a Gammazon montage is far more challenging since the goal is not to cut and paste then feather/blend a figure onto another background, but to seamlessly shift the complexion and character of the subject – many a time having to go pixel by pixel along the edges in order to pull it off.  If it works, its fantastic, if not, it looks like crap – and you never know until you're well into working on the given photo whether or not its going to be one or the other.

Cussing time is reserved for the latter . . . 😉

When I first started in on Amazonian GTS collages I had assumed that Amazon Muscle was a natural extension of the Giantess genre, yet surprisingly it doesn't seem to be the case with the GTS community of regular collage makers.  To be certain some, i.e. Cricket, will use fitness models such as Trish Stratus, but it's a real rarity to see women with a far more muscular physique being used in the role.   

I might add, although it doesn't allow for it here, I've also used the concept in my approach to the SW genre, with my Minizons (Mini-Amazonian Faefolk) – of which, to the best of my knowledge, no one has ever used seriously muscular women (i.e. Joanna Thomas) as fantasy models for collages of empowered mini-heroines.
