okay soooo, it's time to stop hiding! i'm transgender and over the past year i've been transitioning and i'm sick of keeping it all a secret. i'm on hormones now so i figured now is the time to come out. i'm going by Sophia but Sophie for short is fine. :)
i don't really feel proud or confident or anything, it's a nightmare, but maybe i'll get there one day. hopefully things will get better, i finally feel like i have some kind of a future instead of a void of misery or whatever for the rest of my life. this has been a long time coming.
thank you, everyone!

An Unlikely Perspective
Sometimes I grapple with the fact that a lot of my work could be considered sexist; on one hand, my women are strong of their own accord, not because somebody else wants them to be...on the other hand, bikinis seem to be the order of the day in terms of presentation. Now granted that posing suits are most likely what you'll see a bodybuilder in 90% of the time...actually, now that I think on it I really don't know where I was going with this. But hey, maybe this five-year-old girl has the right approach to a dodgy conundrum:
~Gettar82 (https://www.deviantart.com/gettar82) did a nice new year journal talking about his 10 favorite artist. And the list does read like the most delicious selection of female muscle artists here on deviantart. Of course he couldnt include himself in that list, but thats why i am here.
Well im not gonna do the same thing. Really i dont wanna make a 10 best list.
Why?
Well i tried and couldnt make up my mind and also i dont want to because what moved me more about his journal was the words he wrote to each of those ten artists, so thats what im gonna do. A random list of artists, that i want to say something about, why i love their art, how it influenced me, how they
Here's another old post relevant to our current thread:
When I was putting together my art book 'Dead Apes in the Snow', which is pretty much a retrospective and features a lot of my work that's up here on DA (and there's a free digital copy here: - www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/… ) I wanted to write something for aspiring artists that was honest, to the point, and not anodyne, with regard to how you get into the industry.
But the harder I tried the less true it seemed.
The reality is that there is no secret way in, you just - well - you just have to fucking do it!
This was the text that made it into the book. I know it sounds sim

Finally finished the Top Ten of 2013 countdown. It's fun to see what people liked in my gallery. You have such good taste.
There was a recent change with how pageviews are counted. Seems to be more accurate now, though it's weird to see such a big difference from the old system. It's cool that DeviantART also added Google Analytics for beta testers, I definitely like looking at the pretty graphs and numbers. You can get so much more information than you could before. For instance, h
Hey guys!, I've received tons of messages asking for zBrush tutorials so here is the first one. I use this in some of my paintings quite a bit so maybe this will be of some help if you've never touched it before! Let me know :)
As many of you may already know, I have a muscle-muscle growth-sprinkle with some furry fetishes.
It's kind of embarrassing sharing this (0///_///0)
My first ever aroused is when I'm watching old cartoon. I think it was Disney Chipmunk cartoon episode that feature this sexy chipmunk girl singer. Or Tom&Jerry in one episode that feature sexy cat girl on a beach. I think I was 5-6 at the time LOL
Around that time, Dragonball is a very popular show. so like all the kids, I have to watch it. I find the transformation sequences very arousing. Then I start to fantasize those chipmunk and cat girl boobs become bigger LOL I think this was more o

Reading Suggestion: Drawing the Line
"What does all this have to do with making cartoons? Who needs a union? I am an artist, not a longshoreman. What do I need with employer-matched pension contributions? [...] If you're a good enough artist, you don't need a union to get work; you make your own deals."
It wasn't until after years of being cheated, being laid off, and being assured I was part of a "family", then cheated and laid off some more, that I came to understand what my union was trying to do for me.

Art is an amazing subject because of its several, long branches which go way beyond the anatomy books. The stories Sito tells us in his book are alternately hear
