    Julie Bell has to be my ideal woman – beautiful, muscular, and an incredibly talented artist!

    I don't know about now, but she has definitely competed in the past. Also, there's a lot of awesome photos of her in Boris's photography book, "Bodies".

    Wow, nice debut, man! Great to see another talented artist start posting their work here. Oh and don't worry about your English. It is perfectly fine.

    Please don't feel you have to change your artwork to post it here, unless you want to of course. I believe explicit material is OK, as long as you don't upload the image file to the Amaz0ns server. If you host your images on an external site, which is what you're already doing, you can pretty much post whatever you want. Just make sure you give people fair warning by putting the label "NSFW" in the subject heading. Perhaps one of the moderators can confirm this, though.

    Wow! That is an exceptional morph!

    It looks like it would have been insanely difficult to blend in your changes with such a complex background, but you pulled it off seamlessly. You've also done really well to match the outdoor lighting. Honestly, I can barely tell this is a morph. Well done.

    I know you have a lot on your plate, but I would like to take this opportunity to put in a request for Mary Elizabeth Winstead who is/was in the running for Wonder Woman in the JLA movie. In a recent interview, she made this rather interesting statement, “We’ll see. I keep thinking about all of the physical training I could do, bulking up and getting some muscles. I’ve never seen myself like that before!” It would be a cool to see a preview, especially since it's looking like she won't get the part.

    I've just started playing around with Poser 6 myself, so I'm not really in any position to give advice on that front, but I'll give you a yell if I come across any decent tutorials. I can help out a bit with the file format stuff though.

    As a Windows user, I have to say that I absolutely hate the Quicktime format! They force you to download itunes, a 50 MB download, just so you can play an animation file. It also keeps pestering me about upgrading to Quicktime Pro, grrrr. I also get the feeling that they did a really lazy port from Mac to PC, as Quicktime files have always played really choppily for me, even on today's incredibly powerful machines. I believe that Macs can play .AVI files out of the box, and I would say that .AVIs would be more friendly for Linux people and standalone multi-format DVD players too.

    I'm not sure if this is what The_Collector_2 meant, but the best codec to use for videos you want to share on the net is MPEG-4. MPEG-2 is an older codec and is what DVDs and Digital TV use. It is normally used for much higher bit-rates than internet videos. Another thing I want to clear up is that both .MOV and .AVI formats are simply containers for the audio and video streams, and do not control how the audio and video are encoded. For .MOV files you may not have much control over what codec gets used (most likely a proprietary MPEG-4 implementation), but for .AVI files you normally have to select the video codec you want. I would say that Poser6 selects uncompressed frames by default, which is why you are getting such huge .AVI files. When I save an animation to a .AVI file with Poser6 under windows, it comes up with a dialog to select one of the codecs that are installed on my machine. I'm not sure what the Mac version does, though. If you decide to go with the .AVI format, I can highly recommend the Xvid MPEG-4 codec as it is open-source and therefore completely free. It has been ported to the Mac and is widely used on the net. Unfortunately the official Xvid codec is only released as a source package, however you could give this link a try http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/.

    Lastly, some good resolutions to use are 512×384 for 4:3 aspect ratio, and 624×352 for 16:9. These are smaller than the resolutions quoted by TC2, but are better suited to the bit-rates normally used for MPEG-4 videos.

    Come on guys, please don't pirate this movie. We have to reward these guys, otherwise there'll be less and less Anime featuring muscular, female characters. Let's be honest, the market is painfully small as it is.

    Now, I don't know how tall Bassett is (especially in relation to Hugh Jackman), but I think she'd have held her own enough that she wouldn't seem to be "looking up" at anybody, even if she was shorter.

    Actually, Angela Bassett is a few inches shorter than Halle Berry, so she would have been over a head shorter than Hugh Jackman. I understand what you're saying about the way she carries herself preventing the viewer from noticing the height difference, though. Personally, I didn't notice the height difference with Halle Berry either, but for me, Wolverine's stature wasn't an integral part of his character. It's different for Wonder Woman, as she is meant to be an Amazon, who are a race of famously tall and strong women. It just won't be convincing having her only come up to the shoulder level of the male super heroes. I would also be surprised if they go down the path of trying to make make her look tall with camera angles, and standing on boxes, etc. There would just be too many wide angle multi-character action shots for a movie such as this.

    Then there's the matter of her physique. She really is going to have spend a lot of time in the gym to even get to the "toned" level. Anyway, I have to say that this decision, for me, was a real slap in the face! It was such a great opportunity to cast a beautiful, strong woman in a leading role, and they totally blew it. I guess I'll have to wait until "Last Ride of The Valkyrie" to get made before I finally get my wish.

    So Fett, does your post mean that you can buy the comics direct from Lyman Daly's website, or did I miss something? I have just worked my way through this entire thread and all I can remember is lots of pictures of cute, furry animals.

    She's not an actress, so I doubt she's in the running, but boy does she look the part! Oh yeah, she's 6' as well.

    Some other interesting, less well known names that I have come across:
    Nina Fehren http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1766320/
    Natalie Glebova http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1944025/
    Amanda Tosch http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1461297/
    Lorena Bernal http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0076085/
    Blythe Metz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_ZzAJ-C5Ok

    These women all have the look, but don't know if they have the commanding presence, which is just as important.

    Anyway, it looks like they're getting close the end of the audition process, so we may not have long to wait to either be elated or disappointed.

    All I managed was a few splutters, a gurgle, and then I fainted, so Buddy_Bensen's response was a hellava lot more articulate than mine.

    Killer artwork, once again Gettar. Of course I would love to see the same picture from the other side, but I guess I'll have to use my imagination.

    Congrats and I look forward to contributing to your next 100,000 hits!

    I really, really hope you can find someone and get this project completed! Partly, because it would be nice to see your many years of dedication pay off, but also because this is the kind of film I would like to see.

    By the way, have you tried posting to more mainstream sites? Amateur actresses or drama students might do it for free, just for the experience. I guess the subject matter would get mixed reactions, but so what? A job's a job, right?
