Color samples of Lima's Muscle Burst Sequence

Both shemales and muscles girls are about duality: femminity and masculinity, contrast of cute, sexy and strong. So there is SOMETHING to understand. Think about BBW in a sense that its sexy because usually girls try to lose weight their whole life, but if they keep on adding weight, both their tits, asses and curves expand, and when they're confident about it, they can be just as strong as muscle girls, since there's so much mass to them

Dalpy

Well, the reasons people get into the same fetish are different too. For example, some people likes my muscle girls not because the muscles but because they are strong and they does want they want. They can be cute but still can be menacing and overwhelming. And the inverse for the shemale characters, hung, dominant but still delicate in some aspects. My biggest issue with BBW it's I don't see much appeal on it, I am still looking into different angles.

ReddyHeart

Well, some fetishes have more roots in human psychology and are at least have sex appeal to them, muscular girls are all about exposed muscle mass, which is just showing more flesh, same with fat, it's just opposite spectrums, but generally the same thing, it kinda makes sense. Foot fetish is about,...um, soles and toes, okay? Like, WHY are people finding it hot? It barely connects with anything, so it's harder to "understand"

Dalpy

Yeah Ubisoft games have been particularly bad at that sort of thing lately. Just a bunch of mini-activities that aren't even fun most of the time and is only there to. But yeah, Batman is a great example of side quests done right. Lots of different little mini-stories with surprise guest villains. It was really cool doing some of those quests and finding out which bad guy was behind them. Those were awesome. I've never played any of the Yakuza games, but I've wanted to. I never had a PS3 and it seemed like most of them came out on that, but I can imagine the open world city setting working well for cool side games and stuff like that.

The Alternate202

Yeah, that's tricky. I believe side quests should cover others activities, like a completely different mechanic. Like Yakuza games, those mini-games like golf, tennis, karaoke, tournment, driving, cooking, are awesome. It's fun, it have rewards, super awesome. The last Batman game too, changing for any mission you want, anytime you want is awesome. GTA could use a system like that, driving to a place for an activity is dull, takes too long. I stopped playing Assassins creed because that, the side quests were just a mechanism to extend the playtime.

ReddyHeart

It's not like its weird or strange, if we analyze closer, every fetish is crazy, muscular girls included. So, I can't really say something is weird or not. But I kinda believe when they say, or you "get" on the first time or not at all. As an artist(haHAhaha... it's so funny when I say that!), I try to understand the concept, the very core of the things before drawing.

ReddyHeart

Yeah I hate how so many side quests in games these days have almost become "side activities", like checkpoint races or "go here, kill this thing x100" rather than actual quests. It's like they've forgotten that side quests should still be good, proper little storylines, just ones that don't necessarily have anything to do with the main story. But that doesn't mean they have to be bad, or not even quests/missions at all. Sometimes those sort of things can be the highlights of a particular game, so it'd be nice if they got back to the older way of doing it where they were good and lengthy and meaningful rather than just busy work to add some extra features to the map or whatever.

The Alternate202

Well, to be honest, I agree Foot fetish is really weird. I mean, I get that people like feet, but like, feet dont feel good y'know? I dont get whats so sexy about feet either. Legs are sex, and some high heels are sexy too, maybe foot licking is kinda sexy, but regtular feet? Dont get it. Weight gain takes time to get into, but it's waaay easier, cause there are way more things you could do with it, you just need to look at some quality art and fanfics, it's not THAT hard to get into it, if you like muscle growth.

Dalpy

Yep, the side/secondary content of Mass Effect games are pretty poor. A good example for side quests is Witcher. Some of them are pretty simple, kill the monster and get paid. But a lot of them are pretty interesting, it unfolds in several parts and expand the knowledge about the characters and the world. And Mass Effect's lore can be expanded a lot because there is a lot of races, worlds, wars. etc. They just needs to make the player look for it. And it must be fun. The secondary quests of the last Dragon Age were awful, it almost "good" as the those quests on any MMO. It's a time wasting exercise.

ReddyHeart

I need to understand it better. Right now, I don't get it much. It's like foot fetish with me: Oh man, I tried, i can draw it, but i don't know if I getting right or not because I don't "feel" it. And if I don't feel it, there is no point in drawing it. But I will read the fanfic, maybe something snaps on mind.

ReddyHeart

Fair enough

ME1 - Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan (an oldschool classic) ME2 - Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back (the best of the best) ME3 - Dark Knight Rises (alright, but gets too stupid in the end)

Dalpy

um, I don't really understand what you mean, but here's an interesting fanfic that might give you some insight! <a href="https://aryion.com/g4/view/223101" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://aryion.com/g4/view/223101</a>

Dalpy

Yeah that would be cool. I never understood the hate for the Mako. I wasn't a huge fan of the exploration stuff in 1 mainly because there was never really anything to find on any of those planets, but the Mako itself I liked, and it was cool when they worked it in to some of the missions. The Hammerhead in 2 was also very fun to control. Hopefully in Andromeda they actually add a bit more stuff to the planets and give you a reason to explore them and things to discover, otherwise coming across the same three buildings again and again might get a little tiresome. ;p

The Alternate202

The first one had some interesting concepts, like Mako. Ok, the controls were chaotic but it gave a lot of great action sequences. It's nice they are inserting a vehicle on Andromeda, i hope we get to control a jet too or something like that. It would be a blast to fly over a unknown planet and stuff. The second and third games were too focused on closed ambients.

ReddyHeart

Good points. I will look a bit more about this universe. I need to dominate it first.

ReddyHeart

Well, not a planetary size yet. But pretty huge.

ReddyHeart

In the moment I am working fulltime on the graphics. I have plans to finish part of Lima's MBS and make another beta with that and some others new additions. I don't want to post her entire MBS scene to not spoil the final game.

ReddyHeart

Yeah 3 felt very rushed and simplified in a lot of areas, probably at least in part because of how little time they were given to release such a huge game. I didn't like how they really cut back on the dialogue options. In 1 & 2 you pretty much decide everything Shepard says, but in 3 you're often only given two options, and half the time he speaks without any input from the player. Plus the whole "we just happened to find a way to beat the Reapers! It was here all along!" aspect of the story. There was still a lot of greatness in 3, but yeah, even outside of the infamous ending, it was still a step down from the first two in several ways.

The Alternate202

I'm looking forward to seeing this, will there be another beta update on the horizon? I'm afraid I can't do much to help with grammar and spell check as I have a job over the course of this month.. But it seems you have great support in place looking forward to seeing Lima's MBS.

Muscle burst? I guess this is where they end up becoming planetary size right?:P

jsiejkd

Dude, you should approach this theme at a different angle. Think about it like that: the larger the girls get, the more sex appeal they acquire, cause Shep is into BBW's and larger girls, so all the ladies try to gain weight cause Shep's a "chubby chaser". But not only that, you could add that the bigger they get, the more they want to eat, and maybe, just maybe, they'd start thinking about eating other girls in order to get rid of the competition, or maybe even get a bite out of Shep cause he's such a lovely treat! It could be verty intimidating, and kinda scary! Plus they could crush anybody under their weight, that's pretty strong, innit?

Dalpy

Yeah, I find ME2 great. ME1 is pretty good too, i put bot in the same level. Now, the third one... I guess they "actionized" it too much. The features are limited and simplified, the combat suffered a lot. And I am not even talking about the ending.

ReddyHeart

Hmmm... nothing yet. So far, I am not having a good relationship with this theme, I like strong and independent girls. I need that. Of course, they can be "large" and be tough and sexy. That's why I didn't give up on this yet.

ReddyHeart

I played the first two back to back so it wasn't as much of a problem for me there, since playing them together made them feel like one bumper-sized game. I remember some way into the first one I was wondering why there were no romance options for her like there were for the other girls though, so I checked a wiki page and saw it had a "romance" option for her, and that it said it was supposed to start after her loyalty mission. Of course seeing as I was trying to avoid reading any other spoilers for the rest of the games I didn't realise I'd scrolled all the way down to the ME2 part of the page, and that there were no such options in the first game. ;p Still, I got to that part a few days later, so it worked out in the end. ;) And yeah, the second game had lots of really great characters. It's definitely my favourite of the three overall.

The Alternate202

Cool, so what about that whole weight gain idea, any news?

Dalpy

HA! Great pun! Yeah, the color effects makes a great difference, you can see the volumes better and even notice some details which wouldn't see with solid colors.

ReddyHeart

Yeah, it would be nice. I think in a way to so something nice with this.

ReddyHeart

Yeah, me too. Since the first game I liked her, too bad there wasn't any real romance option there. I think everyone wanted to remove her mask. And Lima was okay. Ashley was a bit... meh. The second game present better female characters.

ReddyHeart

Definitely! Heh, I'm also glad it looks like everyone else knew you were joking too. Given what people can be like, I was worried there might have been a few less-than-polite responses, so it's good to see that's not the case. As for Bali being more popular than Lima here as you mentioned below, I remember with the first (official) game they very much pushed Liara as the "main alien girlfriend" character, and that sort of put me off of her a bit. I think they tried a bit too hard to push you in her direction, rather than just letting you make up your own mind. And like most people who played it I'm sure, I gravitated towards certain characters because those were just the ones I liked, rather than the ones it seemed like they wanted me to go with. Lima is cool, to be sure. But Bali's a smart, shy but strong (in this case very VERY strong!) geek girl in an awesome skintight suit, which for me puts her miles ahead of the competition! :D What can I say? I guess I just have a weakness for super-strong geek girls in skintight outfits. ;p

The Alternate202

Oooh that's nice !

CJoe

Yeah, Lima's alright, but she's more of a poster cute. I think her face is kinda weird. She's just a nerd, Bali's a cute nerd in a sexy suit. Def should make a popularity contest vote though

Dalpy

Well if people are gonna start being greedy then I don't want to share Penny. Nice work on Lima, with the shading and highlights I almost feel like I can reach out and touch her.

Cari

Yeah. I thought people liked Lima more at first. It was a surprise.

ReddyHeart

Our. No, MY love. I don't want to share.

ReddyHeart

It was a test to see if you guys are really reading my posts. Yeah, the colors add a lot, make the muscles "jumps out" at you. I normally would make these frames with less details, but I have to follow the same pattern of the others graphics. It's tough, but is working great!

ReddyHeart

WHAT? She said I am the only man in her lfe!

ReddyHeart

Got you too! I am so clever!

ReddyHeart

Yeah, she is the favorite girl here.

ReddyHeart

Got you!

ReddyHeart

Thanks! Bali's MBS will be special, she will break her mask on it.

ReddyHeart

I am glad you liked it!

ReddyHeart

Oh Wowie, such vivid colors! And pffffft Bali is easy the best girl!

Vladdy Bladdy

Bali my love :3

Pixelpapst

Awesome shading and highlights! As always, they only make the pics look even better (and they already looked freaking great to begin with)! I imagine it must be pretty difficult getting all the shadows to line up from frame to frame, as you say, but even just based on this small sample it looks like you're doing a fantastic job of making it all fit together! I also assume that July 1st in Brazil must be like April 1st everywhere else, where jokes are told and nobody can be taken seriously. ;p Nobody likes Bali?! No muscle burst sequence for her?!?! Surely these are things that no-one could ever say with a straight face around these parts, or else run the risk of causing the universe to implode from sheer not being trueitude! ;p Anyway, this sequence continues to look better and better with each update! It's really coming along great! You're really pulling out all the stops on this!

The Alternate202

Noooo Bali was my gf!! :O

Dr. Whoopass

Joy! But then sadness... v_v

gattuhno

thats not ture! i like Bali! :D

Wwolfneo

Less Bali? D:

kringles31

Beautiful face and those ARMS ... WOW!

No one likes Bali....I think we need to have a little talk Mr ReddyHeart...:D Nice coloring work here :)

CJoe

This pleases me SO MUCH.
