STRONK!

Quite. It's a cyberpunk world she's from, and she's been pretty heavily upgraded for her work.

Nice lift! Thank you for sharing.

Huntress has her moments of showing off. They can make for great intimidation tactics.

As someone who needs to take breaks carrying home a 24-bottle case of 500mL water bottles IRL in one hand from the grocery, I am both impressed by Huntress' considerable trunk and arm strength, and her commitment to proper hydration, in the Dry Future of Her Particular 2020. ^_^

Sometimes she borrows the entire pallet from the truck to make things easier to carry, even!

Balance of power, properly so! <3 Also, I send a Matt Pop to a Huntress' audio receivers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEmDp5MYzrM Hydraulic rams, like hydrated tigresses, are important. Also big, gorgeous feet, hee.

Well, Huntress does practice Capoeira, which is a pretty foot-focused martial art because it was meant to still be usable while the practitioners were held in manacles, and it doubles as a dance technique because that was the easiest way to train slaves in martial arts without making it obvious that's what was being done.

I had a feeling Capoeira might've been one of the martial arts Huntress had been trained in, or incorporated into her own unique melange of groundfighting styles. She's built properly for it; excellent thigh and calf muscle strength and tone, good balance on one foot or the other and not so heavily-muscled that it would limit her flexibility or speed.

Honestly, that's a martial art I would not find surprising that you-Jenora had trained in IC. You're not built quite as muscularly by habit like Huntress (though of course you can be if you want to) but a cat-woman like you is built for the kind of stamina, flexibility, legwork and groundwork-on-foot martial arts Capoeira would demand of its students. And of course, you've got the best bare feet ever, and you by habit prefer abstaining from footwear. You do rather like your little foot-were, tho', hee. <3

Well, I do have this image...

(RL I've done Karate and Aiki-jujutsu, though didn't get too deep into either.)

I felt very sure I recalled the image you linked to of yourself-IC, and remembered with reasonable clarity that you were practicing Capoeira in that image. <3 Thank you for both the wonderful reminder in sharing it, and for the confirmation of memory thus, my beloved star-cat of the lovely and mighty bare feet!

I've got a few hundred images posted here (apparently 672) and I still remember most of them, at least in the broad sense if not the details.

Of course, there's also a reason I've been trying to build up a bit more of a folder structure here, because that makes it a whole lot easier to search for something in particular I might be thinking of if I can narrow the range to 'just my dancing pictures'.

That's entirely fair. A lot of drawings I've seen and many of which I'm very fond of I remember by retained and merited metadata, oftentimes how a drawing made me feel or the emotional weight of a character I'm fond of, or like yourself, someone I am tremendously close to and love dearly as a friend and companion. Even drawings I've done fall into or out of my memory when I think back to someone or something I've drawn, or a photograph I've taken even if the subject is very close to home or to me as a person, loved one or friend.

I went looking for the drawing  cougr drew of you back in 1998 as a gift for his witnessing of your Dance of the Seven Veils (I believe that is what you've told me of it) https://www.furaffinity.net/view/3796832/ and in particular, noting a comment  Growthmaster had made in 2010, nine years before I finally added my own below theirs in 2019. He observed that it was a pity so few comments had been made on your picture and its post, and that made me do quite a bit of reflection about that in general. I'm glad he made me think, because I like to think about things like that.

I wonder if Ken clearly remembers he did that drawing of you at all, 24 years later. I don't think he forgot it, much less you yourself by any means, but as an veteran artist myself however much less well-known than Ken, I understand how both reflection and progression shapes one's journey, just as I think it does in the case of anyone who has a story to tell and a desire to tell it.
