Artist Roundup: Richard Bartrop


You know, I said to myself this would be a general muscle guy blog, and so I'd keep the furry stuff to a minimum because of how, er, "general audience" it is. But this guy, Richard Batrop, is so cool that he deserves a spot on the Artist Roundup.

He also emerges from a different social/cultural context than most other furry artists: he loves Heinlein, the original Star Trek, 50s science fiction, and he draws more like Frank Kelly Freas than Japanime.

Visit his Yerf Historal Archive Here.

And he sure can draw the beefcake. One thing I like is how sexy and sleek all his muscle studs are. They have a sense of heroism, a sense of power like a sensual animal. Most muscle artists, when drawing muscle guys, go overboard and make them grotesque.



He can also draw multiple different types of muscular bodies. No two of his characters have the exact same body type. Witness his "Furry Tarzan" here:
