Fun with lasso and transform tools
🕑 Added 2025-11-17 15:42:52 +0000 UTCIf you've read the first-ever Tetsuko story, then you undoubtedly remember this first panel of Page 4.
I isolated it as its own illustration, refined/defined the muscles a bit, and added a pink (well, dark pink?) background. And as I kept looking at it, a voice whispered in my head: let's make her bicep bigger! So I used the lasso tool in Clip Studio Paint to select the muscle, and used the transform tool to alter its size, like so:
And did it again, to make it bigger...
...and BIGGER...
...and BIGGER!!
...and at this point I don't think I have any more room to grow that muscle any more! Still, pretty spectacular, right?
Hey! I finally found out how to put attachments to the bottoms of my posts again!

Interesting use of the modern artist's tools,David. Should make transformation sequences in your comics a lot easier to draw then in the old days by simply directly manipulating drawings of the original characters instead of drawing each step from scratch, right? It'll also make altering drawings when you or your collaborators have changes of mind on them a lot easier and quicker,right? As I've said to you many times, I like Tetsuko and plan to incorporate her and her supporting cast into our in-progress "universe". ( *cough* Check your mail! *cough* lol )

Amazing, I need to try that myself. Imagine Tetsuko taking the serum with that arm, Aleesha would look tiny in comparison.

lol nice job! Her arm looks great! It’s nice to see another transformation sequence for her again! Well kinda but you get it

Ah, i see I'm not the only one who gets the "MORE BIGGER" intrusive thought. Most excellent! :D

That’s very cool David I feel like it would have been cooler if when you made her bicep bigger you changed how she looked when she was transforming
