Yeah.......O.K. for a START!

This might be just me, but I like guys to be just in the "possible" range of musclemen. IMO the men who are ripped and powerful without being too oversized are the sexiest. But there are plenty of people that like them huge ;)

well, mr. morphy does need to work on his pecs; they're lagging behind his OK arms and shoulders

Hey inm,

I've tried to make his pecs look a little bigger - does that look okay now?

better, but they look breasty now, with the concave sides
I'm still struggling myself with morphing frontal chest shots, so have no advice
look up UrGaath's morphs, he had it covered, and I'm trying to learn how. I suspect, correction layers, since they have some nice shadowing options.

Well, we'll just have to keep trying...

Hey guys,

Thanks to all of you who have cast their vote. I am a bit surprised that almost half of you think the guy in the morph is too big - I expected something like a third. But of course that's why these surveys are interesting in the first place: unexpected results.

So, once again, thanks for voting,

It is surprising, isn't it. But now I understand why I'm getting complaint that my morphs aren't big enough - you make them hugantic beyond belief, and still 22% want more!
Thanks for this interesting poll.

Thanks for this interesting poll.

What I never really understand is that some people almost get angry when they see a morph they don't like - whether they think the guy's too small or too big or too cartoonish. To me, morphs can be beautiful, or well done, or super sexy - but also just plain good fun, something that makes you smile, perhaps even laugh a little (e.g. this one: http://www.musclegrowth.org/forum/sh...&postcount=141).

Come to think of it: they can even be sexy AND funny at the same time - for why should an erotic image also need to be dead serious? Don't get me wrong, everyone is free to comment and voice his or her opinion: to criticize, to praise, to dislike. All I'm saying is: there's a ridiculous side to the whole morphing business, and it's perfectly alright to admit it, even to revel in it from time to time.

Any thoughts about this?

i think that whatever you project onto the image with come out in the image.if that makes sense.

Like if you work on the image thinking your going to turn this guy into the sexiest thing ever, it will show through in your work.

where if you are just working on it just to kill time and make someone bigger, the lack of eroticism(or energy you might say) will show through.

You both bring excellent points I agree with, thanks for sharing.
noname, Its true, my morphs are 'serious' since what I project, as dominicrue put it so well, is that I feel like I'm re-making a greek statue. And I think my attitude shows, as my morphs create little discussion. Yours are definitely more funny, comical, outragious.

Maybe my art needs some shaking-up, re-think what I'm projecting into it. It starts at the very selection of image to work on. Also, maybe its just good there are many morph artists, each with his own vision..

Heh, interesting how even an art like morphing can be a tool for self expression, and it shows through.
Good introspctive moment.

Even 2 or 3 sizes would be too small. Give him about 40x the muscles and i'll see if we could work things out.
