I think you can imagine that producing these comics (I do both the scenario and the artwork, as well as the site and the "marketing") is a lot of work. I can only produce a few stories or chapters per month. Still, I want to give amazon fans a regular supply of amazon muscle action. So I thought it's a good idea to start offering work by other artists too. By opening my shop to other artists I may also, as an added benefit, give them a chance to make some money, which as you can imagine is not necessarily easy within this small niche of afficionados.
The first paid story by someone else is Michelle's Passage, by Rainbowscriber. The content is different from my own work. There is no domination/humiliation or growth in this story. It is both an adventure and a romantic tale about the future of the human race. Actually, it's an entire illustrated novel. The illustrations are top quality renders, so I think this product is good value for money (at least if you don't require domination and can appreciate also a good story and prose, next to awesome pictures).
Here's some more info on Michelle's Passage
When the beautiful blonde muscle girl knocked on his studio door, Martin was catapulted into an adventure that he could never have dreamt of in his wildest fantasies. But Michelle was just such a girl, one that made fantasies come true…
Devastatingly beautiful, sensual, feminine, and built like an Olympian goddess, she reveals her life-story to this ordinary guy who opens up his ears and his heart for her.
Michelle’s Passage is a journey through the life and mind of a muscular girl with a very deep secret and a tragic past, a journey through hardship, struggle, sexual discovery and the search for happiness, love and freedom.
Michelle's passage is produced by guest artist Rainbowscriber,
PDF, 309 pages
More than a 100 illustrations
Some comments on Deviant Art:
"ABS---SO---LUTE---LY BREATH-TAKING..... .....Can't wait to see Chapter 10 and the enhanced drawings.....WOW! Thank you, Michelle! "
"Outstanding work! This really shows your creativity and skill in physique artistry! Very well done! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest."
"Rainbowsciber, I just love your Michelle's passage novel story arc of yours and enjoy each and every chapter of it so far. You're indeed one of my most favorite artists on DEV WATCH! Keep up the great work and Godspeed all the way!"
"I'm on the Edge of my Chair, Michelle! Michelle in the story is starting to look Really Amazing.....[as if she wasn't Already!].....the artwork is Enticing .....What a Sexy Girl, she is!! Thank you for the update!!"
"What an epic read! I started and kept going and going. Thank you too!!"
"I read a while ago till about chapter 7 and then went on a binge reading round last night and caught up to this point. It all started with "lemme just read one chapter...." followed by me being glued in place through the rest that followed heh"
"I can't wait to read the next Chapter where she is reunited with her Sister!!!!"
"Thanks for such a great story!!!.....Sad that we won't be seeing Michelle and Martin any more [unless you have further ideas?] At any rate, I like most all the work you do, and I'm sure that you will keep all us readers/fans excited for some time to come!!!"
"Oh this is incredible! I love to see her big arm around the skinny bitch!"
"At first, I had only looked at your drawings and not the story[a lot of artists have great art but the stories lack depth] so I didn't give yours much attention.....THEN, after reading thru your philosophy, blog and website, I decided a closer look was necessary.........and to my amazement I read the beginning where Martin is lying in bed with our heroine, musing over her beauty and how his thoughts of being in the presence of a Goddess.........WOW....I practically read the 8 chapters in ONE SITTING!!! I love your narrative style from Martin's point of view.....I immediately identified with his love of the female form and falling for the person inside, as well............as I said before, I couldn't put aside my reading and Had to find out what happened next............Michelle, I am anticipating the next chapters "with bated breath" and, of course, the accompanying artwork.............Oh, and BTW, checked out your photos..........I'm sure which ones are you, and you are a HOTTIE!!! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!!!"
"I'm hangin' on for dear life, I'm SOOOO excited......am anxious to see if Michelle "develops" like Martin has lead us to believe!"

Mark is boxing late one night, in an otherwise empty gym. Or so he thought, because suddenly, there is someone behind him: a big, tall, beautiful young girl. She wants to make friends, and is rather direct. Mark thinks about his wife and tries to push her away... Hot, big female muscle, strength and beauty, as usual in this amazon story.
We're one year old! One year of drawing and offering amazon stories with big muscular, dominant women and their tiny male counterparts. It's been fun and enriching to do, and I hope you had fun reading my stories. In the meantime, there's more than forty products availble on this store, and I have ideas for many more to come. I have, I think, improved the quality of the pictures, also thanks to a new computer which I was able to by with sales profits.
If you have feedback, let me know. Writing these comics is a lonely job and I welcome it!

The "Best of" series is another way to enjoy my illustrations. Each "Best of" collection will feature twenty to thirty pics which all have the same topic. The pics are taken from different stories. I left the original text in most cases. You will not be able to see (if you don't know the story) what story a pic is from, but if you want to know, just write me and mention the collection and the page and I'll tell you.
Please let me know which collections you would like to see!
Enjoy the "Best of" series!
Suppose you like my free stories and you want to get a paid one: what would I recommend?
That depends on your tastes etc :-)
You can check out the stories by topic page to see which stories contain the themes or topics that you feel attracted to.
If you are particularly looking for a good dollar-per-picture ratio, check out the big stories: Amber and Julian, Another Lesson for Mr. McMillan, Revenge, The Bodybuilderguards...
If you, like many people, love growth stories, especially check out the stories Growing Muscles (rapid muscle growth) and Revenge (natural muscle growth).
Maybe you have noticed that my comics are more elaborate than most comics or illustrated stories in this "genre". Most of the stories I encounter are pretty much wham-bam straight to the point, focusing on the action (being fighting, wrestling, posing, lifting, domination, humiliation...). In most cases, there is hardly any plot. I have some stories like that (for the ones who are interested in that type: the Emma series; Marjorie: selfies with Julian; chapter 3 of Growing Muscles; Big Babes... are examples), but most of my comics are different. They contain a bit more plot, a bit more dialogue, a bit more character development.
I'm not saying that's a good or a bad thing, I'm just saying it's more my thing. I like it much more when muscles are only shown gradually and not right away. I like it when a relationship of domination between a woman and a man develops slowly, so that, when things happen, we understand what the characters are going through better. I like it when there's a plot also, where you wonder what will happen in the future. I like to create characters that you care about, and characters that are not entirely black and white (my favorite type is not the cruel nor the gentle type, but the unpredictable type that can switch from cruel to gentle and back in a couple of minutes).
Some of my favorite characters are Julian and Marjorie in Amber and Julian, Katie and Nathan (in the story Katie's Tale, currently on lhart.com), and I think Marianne and Mike will also develop into interesting characters in House of Calves (which I think is my best plotted story so far).
Anyway, I welcome your feedback. What do you like?

Just in case you want to know something more about the author of these stories... I guess we should have at least a few things in common...
How old were you when you discovered strong girls or women? I think I must have been six. I can remember several "confrontations" with female power or size that stayed with me. I think one of the first ones was a picture in a book where someone was throwing a little man. The someone might have been a man, but that didn't matter: the person looked female to me and that excited me. At another moment, when I definitely was six (I remember the grade I was in), I was cradle carried by a girl my age and it was wonderful. Later, there were countless playfights with female friends, in which I loved to lose. I also always enjoyed being shorter than girls. Later still, I saw the first female bodybuilder in a magazine, and then on TV and I was kinda hooked. I bought bodybuilding magazines now and then and cut out the girls and collected them. Then came the internet and all was lost. And then the next step was the discovery of DAZ Studio, in which I do all my work.
It's been a struggle at times. I've often wondered why I'm different, what it means, where it came from. I think now, at age 41, I have finally more or less accepted this fetish, accepting that it is a part of me, and that it's not harmful. Today I can finally talk about it with friends, while being only a little bit embarrassed. Because for a man to admit he likes to be dominated by women... it's not what is expected of men, you know. We have to be the big, protecting, macho guys, or at least, that's our traditional role. It's a role I find not comfortable. Not because I'm a pussy, just because... it doesn't seem to suit me.
Anyway, I hope that with the expression of my fantasies in stories, I can provide you with some enjoyment.

I'm curious to know what you think about the prices of my stories. Setting the price is a delicate thing. Of course, the more people that buy the story, the easier I can gain back the time I invested in the story and the lower the price can be.
The price I ask for a story depends most of all on the number of pictures (though long stories that have been published or have been available for free earlier, can have relatively low prices), but also on other factors. Basically the price has to reflect the time I invested in the story. That time is also determined by the number of characters in the story, how many different settings (backgrounds) there are, how good the renders are (good renders with good lighting can take up to forty minutes per picture), etc.
To give you an idea, a good story may sell like sixty times or so. Say that story costs 9$, than I make 540$ from that story. Say it is seventy pictures, then I make 7$ per picture. I can make about 5 pictures an hour, which means that i would make 35$ an hour. From all of this you have to subtract the cost of the site and financial costs (together about 10 %), taxes and especially the costs for buying all the 3D models. A simple dress or a pair of shoes or hair can cost as much as 15$ a piece.
So you understand that it's not that obvious to make a lot of money selling these stories. I therefore hope that no one who buys the stories will post them somewhere on a forum for free for others, fun as that may seem (I'll write something about that later).
I welcome feedback on my prices.
Thanks for buying my stories!
