it's amazing how you made these look so sensual without depending on like, the IMPOSING muscley man that's so often given to us as attractive??? but without going in the other, more traditionally ~feminine~ direction either. These actually remind me of those big cats you've been doing, this ~primal~ gracefulness and strength ganfjdgad GORGEOUS keep going keep going
Hahaha oh man, basically you have hit the nail on the head like woah. And don't worry I will never stop drawing bigcatmans, they are too fun.
God now I want to rant about masculinity in pop culture and especially comics SO HARD, but I am of the word-vomit school of essay writing and that shit would end in tears. GURL WHY U DO DIS TO ME

I just, your comment made me think of this tired stuff I've been reading over and over again since I got into comics fandom (and is why I'm largely out of it now), where it's okay that, I don't know, Star Sapphire costumes are basically straight from the scariest porno you've ever seen, BECAUSE. Mans are objectified too, they have so many muscles and appear ready, willing and able to kill you all the time. And that makes comic nerd boys feel bad in the same way the girls feel bad. Except, it doesn't? The boy ideal is to look like a giant murderer. Plus, why is the counter-argument to "This image bothers me" always "Deal with it, EVERYONE FEELS BAD WHEN THEY LOOK AT COMICS

the linework... that is, where you chose to make the lines, is really impressive!

My favorite is the first one. What an odd pose, but the way you drew it makes it look really natural and comfortable.
