Tetsuko - side chest pose

Added 2020-12-17 22:33:06 +0000 UTC

Aside from the classic "double biceps" - which is Tetsuko's favorite pose to hit, as well as my favorite to draw - I haven't drawn Tetsuko in very many bodybuilder poses.

One of the reasons for that is, she's not really a "bodybuilder", in that her superhuman strength and massive muscularity were not the result of years of heavy training, nd she doesn't pursue a career of physique competition. In fact, Tetsuko feels a lot of admiration for the women who have built their bodies into showcases of female muscle and power; she'd love to be able to walk into a gym and have to struggle to squat an 800-lb. barbell, because it will then feel like an accomplishment to do so.

I especially have had trouble with drawing Tetsuko flexing her pectoral muscles, because of the anomalously large breasts I designed her with. There are times - not often, but occasionally - I wish I'd given her smaller breasts so that her pecs could be more prominent. I'd love to show her flex huge Collette Guimond-level pecs that bulge out as far as most women's breasts do, but then trying to fit Tetsuko's equally-impressive boobs onto those pecs causes proportion and staging problems I haven't found a satisfactory (at least to me) solution yet.

But the other day I found a pic of my current fave FBB Aleesha Young hitting a side chest that I thought I could use as reference for a pic of Tetsuko imitating that pose. I still want to draw Tet-chan's pecs even bigger, though, so one day I may revisit this pic.

For now, however, I hope you'll enjoy this drawing.

(it was "shot" in the living room of her apartment, so you can see the kitchen through the opening in the wall, whatever you call those things)
