Musclewomania 2009

“	Hello! I just want to say thanks to everybody who joined Musclewomania 2009- In a way or another- It's been fun. This endeavour was something akim of everything we've experienced before, and like all other first tries it had plenty of trials and errors (sometimes just errors!), but I personally consider Musclewomania 2009 a success. We'd pretty much ring all the bells we wanted to plus we've made some good friends (artists, collaborators and other weird people). So I just hope we get exeperienced enough to bring you a even more "awesomier" new edition of Musclewomania. See you there!	„

Musclewomania 2009 HONORABLE MENTIONS
Artist Name	Theme Picture	Commentary
Mikazuki	Yosane_hunting_party_by_Mikazuki.jpg	"This was one my favorite pieces. Mika has shown, once again, that she can work in nearly any medium and provide stunning work. Of all the submissions, this is a piece that you might not find out of place in an actual art gallery." -StMercy2020
Ayanamifan	Laila_party_by_Ayanamifan.jpg	"I think Ayanamifan took the theme for Party and ran with it (albeit making it very sad) but that's what I like about it. It's a fun, nice piece of art that evokes a feeling as well as showcasing a muscle beauty. He put a lot of nice attention to detail in everything in his contest entry, from the moon, to the party setting, to poor Laila's face... I really like this picture." -Titaneer
FatFoxLower	Cuki_party_by_fatfoxlower.jpg	"I`m impressed with the perspective on this pic. Another good hypermuscular style!" -Elee0228

Musclewomania 2009 Winners
Artist	Theme Picture	Commentary
1st Red_Silver http://www.buffpuppy.eu/	RedSilver_party_by_Red_Silver.jpg	Good use of perspective combined with a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor. Full marks for Execution as he took his idea and did it flawlessly. I like the humor in the piece. Redsilver has an excellent sense of anatomy and how to put a lot of muscle and not have his characters look unprortioned. -Elee0228
2st Higalack http://higalack.deviantart.com/	Female_Barbarian_ID_by_Higalack.jpg	"he actually put some thought on how he could present something funny, new and original. everyone who has played any online game knows what that 'looking for a party' means, and even those who've been living under a rock can find it funny- because of her outfit, she could've been looking for an actual party- so the joke works both ways.. that's pretty clever to me." -refaal
3st Yatz http://www.itz-art.com/	Aya_party_by_Yatz.jpg	I think he managed to capture the spirit well and the quality of the main figure is excellent. The background figures are detailed enough without drawing attention away from the centerpiece, and the various expressions and captions are hilarious. -StMercy2020

“	I was very impressed with the quality of the submissions, especially given the forshortened timeline we put in place. The community response was amazing and gratifying, from the supporters who offered moral support and, sometimes, monetary support, to the artists who submitted top-notch work with only the most narrow thread of hope for a corporeal payoff. The outpouring of support has given me a renewed sense of optimism for the FM community and I look forward to being a part of Musclewomania in years to come.	„
