I took 2 days off, then got a really good start, then went and played games instead of finishing this, and then as I was working on it today, the program crashed while manipulating the shape layer with the bike and I lost a bunch of work. Grrrrr. I’d love to say that the bike would have looked better otherwise, but honestly it was always kind of crappy. (I drew the figure for panel 2 without looking at a reference image, and that required a certain size for the frame, which turned out not to make sense when scaled to panel 1. If I had had any sense, I would have pasted a photo of an actual bike into a layer in Procreate, drawn the figure around it, and then made a shape tracing over it in Acorn, but I didn’t think of that until it was much too late.) But that is the reason why the bike has no spokes or shadows, I just gave up on the fine detail.

I will say though, now that we've gotten a better look at the guy, I've got a couple of observations from this page if you're interested?
(Particularly since I know I can draw better than this when I’m not using a tablet, so if your comment is “the artwork sucks” it won’t break my heart. 😅)
Looking at his chest from the side, I'm not sure if his rib cage should be jutting out further than his pectoral muscles. Especially at his size, they probably would need to be bigger and more defined. 😅😜🤤
I'm not going to mention the scaling on the bike, cuz you've already acknowledged it when you were talking about using a real image. But I will say that if I had a power that turned regular bicycles into motorcycles, I'd be set for money for life. LOL
Finally, I suspect that with his junk that big, sitting on anyting that he has to straddle is going to hurt like hell! LOL 😈😝
The bike is an abomination… but now that I’ve established that he is Not Permitted To Own A Regular Bicycle, I never have to draw one again.
I have various ideas for why he can’t sell motorcycles for a living. I haven’t decided which one is canon yet — or whether all of them are canon, or whether I’m even going to bother explaining in-strip. The general principle, though, is that Murphy’s Law Does Not Operate In Reverse (i.e. washing your car to make it rain does not work).
As for straddling a bike seat: up to a point (which is far beyond a mere bike seat) Muscle Knights are magically invulnerable, including their junk. The pressure against his crotch wouldn’t hurt him. (But it might turn him on.)
Bwahaha!! I LOVE the idea of it turning him on while driving! 😂 Maybe have him try different "seating positions", and they just vibrate different parts of his gluteus and groin. 🤤 May not hurt, but those balls can still be squeezed by his Thunder Thighs. 😈
One solution for why he can't sell those magical motorcycles is that they might turn back into regular bicycles once he is not their owner. Would that work?
That’s one possible solution. Others include:
1. Things change back if he spends too long away from them
2. You have to have the same aesthetic to use the stuff he has transformed and there just aren’t enough douchebag gym rats with large amounts of disposable income to support him
3. Things which are his are “attached” to him and will just magically stay with him no matter what — if he sold the motorcycle, as soon as nobody was looking it would show up in his storage area again
Like I said: I haven’t decided what’s the canon answer, but it definitely wouldn’t work for one reason or another.
I like the third option. It opens a lot of possible doors for unintended conflicts. LOL
Do you think, after he does get a driver's license, he'll try to change the motorcycle a couple of times until he finds one that fits his personal sense of style?
Looking at your response to the other comment for this page. Maybe you could use some of the story ideas from various pornos shows?
It’s weird, I know what’s going to happen in varying amounts of detail; I have specific scripts for stuff which won’t be happening until at least the next chapter and probably not until the chapter after that, and then there are things I haven’t scripted out yet which are happening in the next couple of strips.
Wouldn't a bicycle count as a form of exercise? "Gotta get your cardio and leg workout bro." LOL!! XD With that being the case, why would the magic still change his bike?
Insofar as there’s an inspiration for the plot, it’s Akazukin Chacha, really, except instead of an elementary school girl turning into a princess, it’s a bunch of adult men turning into superhuman bodybuilders. I suppose there’s also some Special Duty Combat Unit Shinesman in there, too… “get in the glowing green rectangle”. I’m not the first person to have this general idea; Marquis De Rent/Maximalist tried to do a Magical Girl Series With Outrageous Muscle Guys around the same time I was thinking about this, but gave up after a few strips. (Dunno if any of it is still online anywhere easily accessible.)
In a certain sense, the plot gets in the way of the purpose, which is to draw huge muscle men having sex.
Though, it might still be tough for him to find a serious job with those pants still, even if the shirt is presentable.
Keep up the good work!
Difficulty finding employment, on the other hand…
As always, thanks for the comments!
