I tried so very hard not to collapse into giggles when I heard the growling grunts and chest beating howls coming from the weight room just a few feet away from where I was working out. While I find the body builder's dedication and hard work impressive, some of them get carried away to an almost cartoon-like extreme. How am I supposed to lift this puny 10 lb hand weight when there's a massive mountain of snarling growling testosterone crouched on the floor like a grimacing gargoyle just a few feet away? Medium: Pastel on paper.
If I did happen to burst out in muffled laughter, I didn't worry about being spotted and subsequently pummeled - those guys were too busy preening like glistening peacocks in front of the mirrors to notice anyone else. I must admit, I enjoyed watching them and each giggle gave my core a good workout. Medium: Graphite on paper, digital color.
DId you consider that the grunting might be over looking at you!?!?!

My main gripe with these monsters is that they tend to leave puddles of sweat behind them and alot of them don't put their weights away when they are done. Like its some kind of a mark of how awesomely strong they are to leave the bars loaded with 45's.
Love the pink bow on the second guy!

That top guy made me burst out laughing. And I hadn't even made it to the guy with the pink bow yet. Shit these are funny.

The pink bow guy is so cute! Can I take him home? Wait, I don't think I could afford to feed him even one meal.

I dated a muscle nut once, what a waste of my time, the guy was so into himself he couldn't take his eyes off his flexing arms and heaving chest, In the throws of passion I excused myself, got dressed, grabbed my purse, and left.
Oh, midevil, you can afford to feed a muscle nut, they eat brown rice and raw vegetables, they don't want to desecrate their most precious temple.

What is really creepy is what these guys do to their bodies with chemicals and drugs to reduce fat and even hydration so their veins pop out and they get super-ripped. Beyond the steroids, they are doing insulin and other stuff that screws with your body's basic operating system. It is insane. Esp. when you look at natural body builders and see the result of weight lifting without the chemicals.
great drawings as always, 14!
