Thank you! I was a big fan of his and his wife's paintings! I still am, and even more so of their pencil drawings that i discovered much later.

Yes, I had forgotten about Julie Bell, thanks for the reminder! I have some books with their art and process, I loved how they photographed real models posing for reference. A body builder wearing just a speedo and holding a iron bar was "transformed" to Conan the Barbarian with fur loincloth and a greatsword! And their inks/pencil are certainly awesome.
Yes! i cant imagine knowing all these muscles by heart (though i'm sure with their practice the probably did). I sometimes use myself as reference, but if i had proper studio i'd definitely bring models to draw from.
