This would be a good job

^^

Wow, that was really impressive artwork! Amazing muscle details and muscle poses.

Keep it up and great work as always! :)

Thanks a lot! ^_^
This was a rather quick one... between my work for school. *ouch*

No problem! ^.=.^

ouch, I see.

Just saw the first pic. Training isn't everything, but it goes a long way.

Good idea to halt the muscle growth here, otherwise it would interfere with with combat skills.

Thanks very much! ^^
(already seen your other comment, hehehe)

You're welcome. ^_^

But seriously. This is as far as you can take the muscles before it gets ridiculous, and unrealistic.

Well, maybe not unrealistic but inpractical! ^^"
Reptile cannot use REALLY HUGE arms..... XD

The lineart and coloring looks as smooth and perfected as usual, nothing less I expect from you, Pat.

However....

DJ's body looks ridiculously out of proportion, it's bothering me way too much. And this is coming from a big muscle fan, too. I have to disagree with your "muscles are overdrawn but still correct" comment. Rather, they're over-exaggerated to the point that I can't take it seriously. It doesn't make sense how his upper chest is so huge and then his abdomen is ridiculously small in comparison. You seem to be following the same mistakes DJ has been doing with his own art. This is really all I have to say about it.

Hi!

Sorry to bother you with that, but as Reppy said, he just inked my sketch I did before.
And for you it might be an anatomy out of proportion, but I never said I'd draw super realistic anatomy, I never said that in any way, even if I might get close to a good, partly realistic anatomy.
The way I draw the proportions are just my style that I enjoy to use, otherwise I would be just another artist who tries to draw as anatomically correct as the standard human proportions show in the real nature.

I'm proud of my style and I will continue it the way it is, because I just enjoy it like this.


I like it ripped, beefy and bulky, like my art is, that's what matters, not the taste of other artists about my art, because for me the love of art always begins with the artist itself who draws the art.

Whatever floats your boat, boyo. Doesn't mean I can't judge it any less.

I suppose it was my fault when I wrote "Buff Art": the muscles are "overdrawn" but still orrect"

Yeah. I should've written about DJ's style in the first place and that he's not aiming at the "all perfect realism" as I inspire to be. ^^"
So, pardon about the misunderstanding.

And should never change, at all! It's not easy to have a recognizable, unique style these days.....

Thanks, my friend.

Yes, you recognized that I "only" did the line art, colouring, shading and REPTILE (complete)!
The pencil of "DJ" was only inked by myself and... true, it is NOT my style of anatomy and muscle proportions. But hey, that's just another style to cope with.
And I always enjoy to finish other people's drawings!!!

[By the way, this "DJ" will appear in his own gallery, too - finished and in a new context!]

So, you see... it is more or less just a collage of HIS pencil and MY little drawing. ^^

If DJ was the one who initially drew it, then that makes more sense. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

No problem! ^_^ You will see that the SAME drawing of this character will appear in his gallery in the near future. Of course, all inked and coloured (traditional) by himself then!
I just like to try my inking/colouring skills on some pencils... as you know! ^__^ (have done the same for you a few times)

Hehe, this would be a fun job.

It surely is! ^^

I normally dislike muscley things but I actually enjoy the look of this

Care to eleborate?
Naaah... I'm really glad you like it. THANKS for the comment!

Well, it might be that most of the time I see anything muscle related, it's dramatically way overblown, and to me that looks a little....grotesque. This though isn't so much of that. It is more muscle bound, but it isn't like a super bodybuilder.

That's kinda what I was going along the lines of.

I don't really like the "ultra-hyper-bodybuilders", either. XD
I do prefer olympic athlets, for example. ^___^

Thanks!

Muscle crazies like me would love to see a bigger Reptile, but alas that's what fantasies are for. ;3

Hehehehe... well, it's not bad to dream about it. ^^" But REPTILE shall not grow any bigger........ XD

Yes I know. XD

UNLESS I DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! >89~


...did I say that out loud? I was meant to say "There's certainly alot of details showing out in this pic, despite having only two characters and looking so simple." '.=.'

Hehehehehehe!! XD Well, I'm sure you're referring to the veins and shadings... that could be called very detailed!

Thanks, glad you like it, bro!

Nett, sieht gut aus. ^^

Oh, danke! ^__^ Und einen "Reptile" zu haben ist sicherlich auch immer eine feine Sache.

Hajo gut trainierte Furrys und Scalies sind immer gut! XD
Ich glaube um die Muskelmasse von Reptile musst du dir auch keine Sorgen machen. Ich für meinen Teil hätte zwar auch noch ein bisel mehr ganz gerne, aaaber diese Proportion ist einfach das was am besten zu deinem Character passt. Denn so sieht er zwar sehr kräftig aus, aber durch aus noch sehr agil, wie es sich für eine Echse nunmal gehört.
Jetzt kann ich nur noch dazu sagen, dass ich ihn gerne mal öfter so aufgepumpt sehen würde hehe.

Wie Ragnarok schon ein bisschen gesagt hat, ist der Bauchbereich bei beiden etwas störend, auch wenn ich weiß, dass du Reptile etwas dem Gesamtstil von DJ anpassen wolltest. Allerdings bin ich es auch schon gewohnt, es so zu sehen und es stört kaum noch, denn das Gesamtbild an sich ist sehr stimmungsvoll.

Also Daumen hoch und mehr davon :)

Danke für den Kommentar! ^_^
Hast dir ja gut Mühe gegeben, freut mich sehr.

Klar... REPTILE war und soll immer der "athletische Typ" sein und bleiben!

http://reptile-universum.de/reptile_bilder/Artwork/Pinups/Reptile2011.jpg

So hab ich ihn am liebsten. Aber ich wollte auch mal sehen, wie er denn mal mit etwas aufgepumpten Muskeln aussieht, wenn er dann HEFTIG trainiert hat. ^^ Dann sind die Muskeln in der Regel ja immer extrem groß!
Und sooo oft macht er das ja auch nicht.

Was den Bauch angeht, da ist es einfach so, dass - je nach Stil - das Abdomen unterschiedlich ausfällt. Manche Figuren wirken halt "etwas in die Länge gestreckt" oder so. Ich denke, es ist noch im Rahmen... und bei Reptile absolut in Ordnung. Und die Vorlage vom "DJ" hab ich ja nicht selbst gezeichnet, nur fertiggestellt (muss man leider immer wieder sagen). ^^"
Ich finde es eine feine Idee, unsere beiden Stile mal GENAU nebeneinander zu sehen. Klar, man erkennt deutlich, dass die linke Zeichnung NICHT von mir ist.
Aber das war Sinn der Sache!

Danke für den Kommentar nochmal!

Bewertung als Kunststudent ist immer wichtig XD

Ne klar, ich weiß ja das DJ von ihm selber gezeichnet wurde :)
Es fällt nur stark auf, dass du deinen eigenen Stil ein wenig seinem angepasst hast um das Gesamtbild nicht zu stark schwanken zu lassen.
Selbst in deiner Referenz sieht man ja, dass der Bauchbereich nicht sooo dünn ist. Aber das ist ja auch eine ganz gute Sache.

DJ kann Reptile ruhig weiter zum trainieren drillen, damit wir irgendwann nochmal ein drittes Bild der Serie sehen haha!

Und ansonsten kein Problem. Kommentare sind wichtig

Das stimmt auch, ich habe den REPTILE etwas angeglichen. So haben beide fast dieselben Arme!!! :)

Und ich schätze, der gute DJ wird den REPTILE weiter begutachten und unterrichten.... oh ja! ^^

Ja bitte! :D
Sonst kommt Amras und sorgt dafür, dass das passiert hehe

XD such muscles tend to scare me

Aw, not at all.... ^^

I dunno what it is about bulging muscles that just make me feel weird.

Really impressive as always!^^

Great job!

Thankies, buddy! ^^

I am not really a super muscle fan :O But Reppy's body is definately alot of sexy!! :D I hope he just doesn't overdo it with all that wightlifting!! After the 100th age it might be hard for him :P! kidding kidding!!! *hugs* This seems loads of fun :D! Awesome job With Dj's muscles, they are really awesome even if not in my tastes :)!! For some certain reason i can't help but stare at both of your abs o-o!! MARVELOUS!!! <3 Mmrrr!!!

Hehehe, glad you like him! ^^ AND no, he won't "overdo" it.
Hrrrrrrrrr... and REPTILE is in the primes of his years, by the way!

Reppy is dreamy :D!! He will never age!!!

you keep swelling up a little more with each picture ;)

XD Well, but not much more than THIS! ^___^

*flexes and bulges and tries to show off, too*

8D *faints on Reppy*

...oh and FAVE!!

Hehehehe harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

8D Reppy, what is this job that pays well? @u@

Training! ^^

Mind having a spectator?

Hehehe, not at all! ^__^ I don't mind.

Without commenting much on the artistic part itself (which is well-done and enjoyable), I gotta say that muscle+fox=NoNo, but muscle+scalie=YesYes, just a personal opinion.
(Coming from a non-muscle fan)

Well, that's your opinion and we shall respect that! ^^"
There are many guys who love a muscled fox and dislike muscled scalies, hehehehe.

I like both!

Such muscle detail i love it man and with a great pose to go with it.

THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

^^ no problem dude i have to take time to draw our characters one day >.<

You're always free and welcome to do so!!!!!!!!

cool

hehehehe

I do like this, because I do like the muscular characters. You and DJ both pay such attention to detail in your art. And Reptile himself clearly is benefiting from the continuing training, just as clear as it is DJ hasn't slacked off on his training either! It's good to see different poses, too. You don't see a side triceps pose in furry muscle art all that often.

Thank you very much!! ^__^

You know, DJ really knows a lot about anatomy and has his unique style. It's always fun to do the line art or colouring for him.
Sure, he usually colours everything traditional (which is even better), but from time to time it's nice to see a digital version of his artworks.
Though he's doing his OWN line art every time, I love to practise my inking skills on such a nice mountain of muscles.

Furthermore, he's a nice guy - and that counts the most! ^_______^

Even if some people may not agree to this muscle growth - I won't overdo it myself - he knows what he does and is a good artist. AND he also pays much attention to the comments he gets, which is also important to me!

And what about another part of his anatomy? I'm of course talking about his "eyeballs"... have his "eyeballs" grown?

Noooooooope! XD Not the eyeballs and not "something" else, either. ^^"
It's just a game of flexing the (in this case: visible!) muscles.

Well he is definitely doin a fine job at that
You should get some of your guy friends to do some... "observational posing" for us still learning artists.

I'd pay well just to slather warm oil over Reptile's body ;3

Well... are you sure he didn't already DO this......??? XD

*murrs*

Fantastic anatomy as always :]

and I'm sure many of us would enjoy some more Reptile flexin'~

THankssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!

What a bod, "clicks and whistles"
Great work.

THANK YOU

Rawr. <3

Just lovely.
Allthough perhaps a little too buff for my taste in sexual appeal, but still attractive.

And once again, lovely too see your art Patrick. ^^

Glad you still like it! ^^ And like I said, this is as far as REPTILE is going to become.

I also have to ask.
DJ darkfox has a kinda akward look on his eyes.
Can't really describe it more than it looks like a big stare compared to Reptile's more intriguing and almost inviting gaze.
And also, the chest plates on Reptile, are they softer like the typical muscular chest muscles like the fox or actually just hard plates? Since if they were hard plates, how would that be affected to muscular growth?

Just my mind thinking of too many things I guess, but I still felt I just had to ask.

Very nice piece, Reptile. I've been following your art for a long time, and I love how detailed all of your works are.

As for your OC's muscles, well, I think they're just the right size. In all honesty, I prefer to keep the muscles on my own characters a bit more natural in size.

Thank you a lot for the comment, it's really appreciated. It seems, you never commented before, isn't that true? ^^"
So, you did follow my works... well, in that case I'm even MORE happy to get a comment then!

This artwork idea was just an idea... about HOW LARGE "Reptile's" muscles would get if he'd really TRAIN hard... for hours. ^^"
This is as far as I'm willing to go. And after this "photo" here, the muscles will get smaler again. AFter all, this is the moment of TOTAL size!

As you can see, "Reptile's" normal muscle build is like this:

http://reptile-universum.de/reptile_bilder/Artwork/Pinups/Reptile2011.jpg
http://reptile-universum.de/reptile_bilder/Artwork/Pinups/Fundoshi-Reptile2.jpg

And I also prefer it that way! ^^

Yeah. I saw most of your earlier work on SoFurry/Yiffstar a long time ago (but I was kinda shy about commenting because I was still a newbie). :)

He looks good in either build, IMO. I think he's a great character.

Thank you! ^^

You two are always so much love, and a lot of sexy. <3

You know another job that pays well? You two posing in photo-shoots! @u@ ;)



And you've both done a great job on the picture. It turned out very well. :)

Well, this already IS a photo shoot.......!! XD At least I'd like to think so.

THANKS, glad ya like it.

Very sexy. ^_^ The expressions are amusing - Reptile looks as if he knows just how sexy he looks, and Darkfox is half surprised and maybe a little excited at all of it. Heh - I think the minutes following this photo-shoot would be rather interesting. ;)

You got it: "Reptile" KNOWS that he's lookin' gooood! XD
Yeah, and "DJ" didn't expect him to look THAT good, at all. ^__^ THANKS!

*laughs* NEVER underestimate Reptile. :3 Great job. ^_^

And yes... I am sure they will do "something" after this session!!! XD

Or already have in many of our imaginations. :P

Note: Noseplugs were necessary in the writing of these comments, to protect from red stains on the keyboard.

Reptile, HISS! What firm, pronounced muscles you've grown lately-! I see you've taken on a willingness to develop bigness to rival the softer-skinned, bulkier friend of yours, and done well… VERY well. He may still be a bit stronger than you, but we both know our species is deceptively powerful, due to our colder-blooded metabolism and regeneration. We don't need such thick muscle fibers to do the same job. Ours is a strength born in speed of execution, able to lash lightning-quick and spin, dart and snap!

DJ Darkfox, woof! What an immense, bulging body! There's not an inch of you that's not tight and/or veiny… truly amazing. And you're tall, too. Seeing someone so huge in every way is scary… and that's a compliment! You do have a very sweet face, and a trim, lanky build despite it being layered with bulging, bumpy muscle. You're quite a beaut.

to you both. Now I need to rest my head. *swoons*

Hehehehehe, ohohohohoho, har har har!! XD *thinks about Muten Roshi from DRAGONBALL* ^^"
Aye, that's already high praise... THANKS!

Harrrrrrrrrrrr, indeed... REPTILE's muscles are strong, too and his scales also give him additional protection! ;)

DJ is even a little bit taller than REPTILE... XD But REPTILE's tail is larger!

Glad you like it, harrrrr. *murrs*

Yes, our tails are what give us unfair advantage over most other soft-skinned races. We can knock them on their ass, making US the ones standing taller! Able then to lunge down, our hard claws ready and capable of piercing a ribcage, or our teeth capable of tearing their soft necks open. So many vulnerable, meaty places come exposed for our fangs, claws and physical power to strike, wound, rip, gouge, tear, even eat… Yeah, even though I believe I stand a bit taller than you, Reptile (I'm about 8'), and my muscles are getting big, this doesn't mean I have remained as lithe and powerful. I would not care to challenge you.

Your body clearly has the build and markings of the primeval, the dinosaurish… mine definitely from a more evolved, civilized age. This means unfortunately that I've softened through these ages of development. I've worked hard to build up against this tendency, but yours is definitely still tied to the very harsh, brutal life of the jungle, the kill-or-be-killed, the be quick or be dead. So I definitely appreciate your strength having come from natural necessity rather than chiefly repetition with iron weights.

It may be more from a time of harsh adventure, in which case we do have that in common. I have had to fight against large raptors and T-Rex like monsters, and survive. That too has made me stronger. It was a jungle land, one hard to travel, but now that I know it better, of little danger to me any longer.

Enjoy all the pleasures of your bigger body. You might find its size wonderful enough to change your mind about not wanting to gain any more size. I ultimately found myself lusting for more, and growing again. In one word: RAWR.

looks great. how do you get that good at anotomy? I never can get mine to look realistic.

Well, it's mostly a collection of experience.
Usually I'm working with human models! I either pick models from the internet, magazines OR I pose for myself. Then, I "simply" add all the necessary muscles and features.
In THIS case, "DJ" did the drawing on the left side and I just worked over my "REPTILE" the same way. It was a good reference. ;)

AND of course, I work with my experience of muscles and anatomy, which I got over the years (I'm drawing since 1992!!).
Though I always prefer to use REAL, human models!

no wonder you're good.

Thanks! ^^ But your "Wanderer" artwork is not bad, either! You just have to work on how the legs are structured. The torso looks pretty ok so far and you did well at "connecting" an anthro-head to a humanoid body.

It's all about practise and observation. ^^

I ever love your ideas, you are my favorite reptyle. Good work.

Thanksssssssss very much! Your comment is really appreciated.

Another ting, yo prefer be called as: "Herr Patrick" or "Mr. Patrick" or?

Patrick is my first name. You may call be by that!

Otherwise it'd be "Mr Reichel" or "Herr Reichel"!!! XD

Love it!!
The muscling and the poses!

Glad you like it, THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Fffffffuhuhuhuuuuuck the muscles.....so.....GODDAMN DETAILED D:

Thanks very much! ^^ I do my best. BUT I have to point out, that the left character has been drawn by "DJ Darkfox"... I did just the line art and colouring... and my REPTILE, of course!

This was an entry for my "Power of Training" series... and in time, the "Swimsuit edition" evolved from this.
^^ It is unofficial but fun!
Thanks for your comment and... by the way... I know you mean well but you don't have to write three comments in a row for one artwork!

No worries, I reply to almost every comment my watchers give me!

No worries! I'm happy you like it. And I don't mind reading/replying to comments!!!
