I've been on #VRChat lately, mostly a result of working on my #avatar again—it's kind of surreal, as they've reached a point where they look better in VRChat than they do in my actual renders. Kinda crazy! (This one is Bronx, a character of mine from Champions Online, more or less my 'main'.)

Another Ren Faire accomplished, maybe a Halloween event or two ahead. Been busy keeping up with things, got a lot going on. Finished a good few renders for the Arkhan comic, still need to do a lot of wrestling renders though. Can't believe I started it years ago and still haven't finished it.

D'aww, what a delightful surprise to see—very groovy stuff, and cheers for sharing!! Terensworth has been offering some delightful stuff this Orctober, definitely check out his work! 💚

I love this. The expression, the stonkingly massive and musclebound physique, the veins, the wild hair, the horns, them teeth, the pose—this is the kind of musculature and character design that makes me happy and I am in love now. Awesome lines, awesome shading, fantastic everything. Whoof.

With 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 happening, I've retreated back into my fantasy art, which means actual progress on the comics I've been postponing for two years now, woo...! Here's just a quick page I made for fun, a tiny taste of the story and adventure. #Orc #Fruit #Lol #Fantasy #Bara ...anyway, back to Darktide.

Warhammer isn't my thing—waaagh and emperor of mankind memes, an overly grim setting, ironically immature, leaning uncomfortable close to idealizing supremacy and zealotry...meh. But Warhammer 40k: Darktide is cool. It's like Left 4 Dead, but you're on the offensive, and can be a Ogre. It's fun! ✅

Golly...this kind of sheer bulging muscularity on display is just... 🤌 Totally wanna get into that ring and experience a muscular coil, whoof. Awesome piece of art and style, the apparel is cool, the linework is great, the anatomy is on point--fantastic stuff!

Absolute 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐟. Monstrous beasts in a brawl, ending up in a grapple—and a full nelson body-scissor combo at that? A tight inescapable squeeze testing might and muscle? Awesome. Very cool stuff, great work, wonderful to see a gift like this shared for all to see and enjoy.

"Whaddaya' mean you didn't know I can give you virtual bearhugs in VRChat...? ...now you do!" _________________________________ "Beastman" on VRChat. Look me up if you'd like! Happy to gush about muscle and wrestling, or just chat, chill and have fun. (No VR required, but computer req's differ).

Hey ya! Notice every repost I've done so far has a comment attached? Totally intentional! I liked 'Likes' being public, because it was a quick way of gauging/getting to know folks and their interests. So, here on BSky, when I repost, I'll share my thoughts. More thoughts, more likely to repost. 👍

Just sharing this here to say, "yes this represents me too." Roleplaying is a tremendously powerful tool as a way of developing an understanding of identity, one's self, empathy, and furthering socialization, in addition to just being fun! Glad I got into RP. Still am, still want to be. But...yep.

Whoof. Major whoof. Yeah, seeing this skin for the character in-game literally made me breathless. And I don't even play the game. ...between Black Panther, and big muscley Venom, I'm worried I wouldn't be very focused on the gameplay anyway. But this is awesome art, incredibly well done...!

Man, giving Hexen a go in 2024 reminds me just how incredibly musclebound enemies were back in 90s' games...aliens (and pig cops, whoof) from Duke Nukem, Hell Knights/Barons in Doom. Pretty much the entire roster in Hexen... I'll never disapprove of totally ripped, hunky, and hulky mobs in games...

Something perhaps learned from my previous post—is Bluesky making PNG backgrounds eye-pleasing black instead of retina-blinding white? It's showing a black background on my screen, at least. What are you seeing? ...aside from a muscley orc and beastman... ...or is that eye-pleasing enough?

Well. A lot has happened lately. As you think about things you do, remember not everything has to have a sense of urgency. Sometimes we have to take things at our own pace. It avoids burnout. Life is a marathon, not a speedrun. Find your pace, and keep taking care of yourself—you deserve it. 💙

"Apologies interrupting you at work, but did ya' vote today? There's time, and it's an important thing. But if circumstances prevent you, hopefully you have an opportunity next time. Take advantage of such opportunities when you can, and fight for them if you must: Your vote matters."

Well, it happened, and you made the right choice. Welcome to #BlueSky. It's still growing, but you'll see familiar faces here, and I guarantee this place will treat you better. For everyone, thanks for visiting and following! I'm a cosplayer, adventurer, and 3D artist, and hope you enjoy my stuff!

Hey! Some fantastic art (featuring a green-Orc of mine!) hanging out in a refreshingly watery biome and apparently getting in some good exercise! Awesome scene, love the expressions and them lean bods...! Many cheers to @terensworth.bsky.social — check him out for some further creative stuff!🌊

Gorge glow up. Just sharing because 'hunky ogre', ya' know? Part of a WIP—testing an idea I've had for a while, but thanks to a sudden epiphany I've made a lot more progress than I expected... #Hunky #Ogre

A groovy piece of artwork from my buddy Terensworth, who continually shows a passion for Orc-like figures with lean and hunky physiques, no matter what situation they find themselves in!

Another cool character, who is of course another wrestler, because my addition to muscle and wrestling can't be understated. This is some really cool art, the proportions really drawing my eye—love the stocky yet lean muscular build—and especially that enthusiastic expression! Epic indeed!

Well now I gotta repost this recommended post too—cause gosh, a hunky muscular wrestling bull hits the mark pretty acutely too! Awesome style, clarity, coloring, shading and line work, with a healthy dose of aesthetic and anatomical delight on top—what a cool character!

A huge hulkingly musclebound dinosaur in wrestling apparel, wrestling in a pro wrestling ring? ...how can I not re-post it? Not even more for me to say! If you wanna know the kinda thing I'm into...here it is! Awesome art as always from Dark Naig, and... ...whoof.

Gosh what an awesome character. The muscular build and primate power (obvious from me, lol), but the proportions, confident expression, the staunch pose, the modern apparel...so appealing and fastic. Terrific quality line art and style--what a cool piece of art, with so many more to see from them!

A stylized #render of Bronx the #Beast, one of the closest characters to a persona/avatar I got. I'm proud of this art style I got going, I'd like to keep it up, and release a pack without text in the future. #Bronx #Beastman #Hero #Vigilante #Superhero #Gay #Bara #Muscle #Bodybuiler #Wrestler

#BoxingGorillaDay is a thing hosted by the spectacular Matthew Smith (@amigasquare.bsky.social), and as I've offered a few apes with boxing motifs before, I'm doing it again! Here's a stylistic display of my #bodybuilding purple space-ape, Wokka Wokka! #Render #Daz3D #Muscle #StreetFighter6

I'm not big on dates/timelines/schedules (look at my comic release dates lmao), but I want to do something for Pride month. So here in the next couple days, I'll be sharing some Panels about a bunch of my comic characters, highlighting their past, identities, and expression. 🏳️‍🌈

Photo of my Burgruk Wartooth #Orc #Cosplay from the Oregon Renaissance Faire, between two amazing individuals and characters from the Princess Bride: The Dread Pirate Roberts, and Fezzik the Giant. ...I am in love with them both. #ORF2024 #OregonRenaissanceFaire #ThePrincessBride #Fezzik

Photos of my Burgruk Wartooth #Orc #Cosplay from various 2024 events. #GemStateComicCon2024 #GSCC #IdahoRenaissanceFaire #OregonRenaissanceFaire #Muscular #Warrior #Fighter #Battlemaster #Fantasy #DND

A little test, with some big results! Just a random thing—my continuity binder says it's been a while since using OpenBOR. Decided to experiment a little and consider some ideas for the future. Need to reduce dithering, try to get a hand-drawn look... #Beastman #Muscle #Sprite #OpenBOR #FinalFight

Whoof. Another awesome bit of art from Dark Naig. These proportions, this build...the sense of weight and thickness is palpable! Very much what I'm into. And the size, as well; ratio between arms and thighs, the deltoids, pecs and abs... Hugely inspiring, great to see, hot stuff all around.

Character Art: Braun "Fighter on the Streets: An #Orc #vigilante who enjoys #grappling above his weight, despite whatever the odds may be." Used #Iray for this one—and I've only been slightly addicted to #StreetFighter6 lately...I need to share more Avatar screenshots. #Bara #Muscle #Bodybuilder

Character Art: Burgruk Wartooth "Strong of body and mind even amongst his kind, he is a skilled #Warrior and tactician." Art of my #Cosplay — I'm working on building a portfolio for events I do, and new #art comes with it. #Orc #Muscle #Bodybuilder #D&D #Fantasy #Fighter #Battlemaster

Character Art: Balthazaros Shadowmane "A hybrid of man and #beast, he has a studious mind and impressive grasp of #mystical arts." Art of my #Cosplay — I'm working on building a portfolio for events I do, and new #art comes with it. #Beastman #Hrothgar #Mage #Wizard #D&D #Fantasy #Sorcerer

My Burgruk Wartooth cosplay has a bear hat now. Can't decide what I like more though, mohawk or bear hat. Well, I'll figure something out. It's a good intro piece, but I feel more free without it—it's like entrance attire compared to ring attire. #Orc #Warrior #Muscle #Cosplay #Costume #Bear

Well, finishing the comic about a young #Orc discovering his identity in a month was a bit optimistic, it seems. In the meanwhile, here's my emergency #orctober2023 contribution! Brokul the Orc Monk in #VRChat! #Bodybuilding #Bara #Muscle #LGBTQIA #IKnowHashTagsDontWorkButEventuallyTheyMight

In my mind, these proportions are perfect. Huge traps, arms as thick as the legs, each roughly half the diameter of the torso, shoulders and stance as wide as he is tall—and black posing briefs—with a cool art style, colors, and a confident facial expression that all contribute to this amazing art.

My mind is a bit warped: I look at a character like this and internally label them as a "Twunk". Legit perception issues might arise with this kind of muscular obsession. It's important to at least be aware of your perspectives, and how they contrast with reality—while still enjoying art like this!

Hmm, still not necessarily in a #StarWars mood, but I really love this replica of the Battlefront 2 character viewer/environment/lighting that I replicated! So here's Rorwarr, a #Wookiee with a background in dishonor, captivity, forced labor, and vengeance. #bara #muscle #render

Discovering the #StarWars Dark Empire audio drama and a Battlefront II mod was enough to inspire me to make this, apparently! Grokk is probably a common name, but a Forceless Gamorrean wielding an antique Lightsaber? Maybe less common... #Bara #Muscle #Bodybuilder #3DRender #DazStudio

Happy #Orctober2023 ! I'm gonna try to do more with #Orctober this year, including releasing a new comic. For now, meet Burgruk Wartooth! An #Orc #Warrior I've made in #3D renders, #Cosplay, and many a Skyrim playthrough! #Muscle #Costume #Daz3D #DND #Gay #LGBTQ #Bodybuilder

#Hrothtober is apparently a thing....so hey! Happy #Hrothtober2023! Here's a screenshot of my Black Mage Hrothgar in VRChat...and a photo of my best Black Mage Hrothgar impression! #Cosplay #Hrothgar #FFXIV #FinalFantasyXIV #Costume #Halloween2023 #IJustRealizedBlueSkyDoesntHaveHashtags
