Magnificent Muscles and Fabulous Fierceness
March 3, 2023 in The Splendid Seven
This piece of Inuyasha x Ayame or InuAya fanart is dedicated to all of the wonderful shippers of Inuyasha x Ayame or InuAya. Sit back, relax, and soak in Inuyasha’s magnificently muscular manliness meshing so beautifully with Ayame’s fabulously fierce femininity as a powerful husband-and-wife duo.
Before anybody asks, yes, Inuyasha is wearing a goldish silver leaf to cover his private part down there to flaunt his bulgingly beautiful muscles for everybody to see all while keeping it PG-rated at most. If this R-rated, let us just say that he would not hesitate to go completely in the nude, especially for his loving wife Ayame, with his rock-hard pecs, mountainous biceps, alabaster abs, glorious glutes, and mighty leg muscles that she loves so much about him. After all, Ayame loves her big, strong, muscular husband, especially when he only has a leaf to cover his private part down there, and he just loves making her aroused with his bulging muscles. I will let Inuyasha and Ayame have a nice moment together, as Ayame remains transfixed by Inuyasha’s bulgingly sculpted body.
(Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s home gym. Inuyasha wears nothing but a goldish silver leaf to cover his private part, while Ayame dons red undergarments. They have just finished their workout, as Inuyasha flexes his bulging muscles to Ayame, and she touches them. Inuyasha turns his attention to the viewers watching, signals them to come closer, raises his arms, and flexes his tremendously bulging biceps, while letting out a huge roar that could give any lion and Tyrannosaurus Rex a run for their money.)
Inuyasha (speaking like Arnold Schwarzenegger with a low voice): Who’s your daddy now?
(Inuyasha goes from flexing his biceps to doing the crab-version of the most muscular post.)
Inuyasha (continuing to speak like Arnold Schwarzenegger with a low voice and with a low chuckle):Â That’s right, come to daddy. He will give you a good time.
(Inuyasha then stands erect, makes his pecs bounce, and does a side pose.)
Inuyasha (speaking with his normal accent but still with a low voice): I’m sure you all love seeing my beautiful muscles. But you should know that I’m already taken by my darling sexy wife Ayame.
(Inuyasha does the front-double bicep flex again.)
Inuyasha: My wife really loves a really strong man with very big muscles. Don’t you, babe?
(Ayame sensually touches Inuyasha’s biceps, pecs, and abs.)
Ayame: You know I do, honeybun. I always get excited when I see my handsome Inuyasha in all his muscular glory. The sight of him ignites all of my senses.
Inuyasha: Speaking of igniting your senses, you wanna see more of me, babe? (Inuyasha makes his pecs bounce for Ayame.)
Ayame (giggles): Sure, I do.
(Inuyasha flexes his biceps for her.)
Inuyasha: My biceps say let’s get it on.
(Inuyasha carries Ayame, as they head to their bedroom.)
That’s Inuyasha and Ayame for you, ladies and gentlemen, a beautiful couple founded on magnificently masculine muscles for Inuyasha and fabulously feminine fierceness for Ayame. They truly make the sexiest power couple ever, even as Inuyasha fast approaches 41 and Ayame fast approaches 38. When all is said and done, Inuyasha’s muscles are a great complement to Ayame’s fierceness, thus making them inseparable.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and keep on showing your love for Inuyasha and Ayame as a super strong couple, everybody.

Olympic Champion Power Couple
March 1, 2023 in The Splendid Seven
This piece of Inuyasha x Ayame or InuAya fan art is dedicated to all of the wonderful shippers of Inuyasha x Ayame or InuAya. Sit back, relax, and soak in Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s prodigious power and super strength as powerful punishers of all the world’s amazing arenas.
Here we have 40 going on 41-year-old Inuyasha and his 37 going on 38-year-old wife Ayame being the formidable power couple they have always been. They may have a total of fourteen children and loads of grandchildren these days, but they are always keeping themselves as strong and mighty as ever both as warriors and as individuals. Moreover, Inuyasha and Ayame have been fighting in a lot of the world’s most prominent arenas for over thirty-one years, and every trial they have endured has made them stronger inside and outside.
Given their attire, Inuyasha’s main martial art is Pankration, and Ayame’s is Kyuk Too Ki or Korean Kickboxing. Inuyasha’s super strength as a Pankration practitioner with a rich background in Boxing, Wrestling, and Combat Sambo cannot be questioned, for his mighty muscles, radical wrestling moves, strangulating submission holds, and punishing punches can knock his opponents out stone cold. Ayame’s furious fleetness as a Kyuk Too Ki practitioner with a formidable background in Taekwondo, Hapkido, and Yongmudo is worthy of emulation because her fleet feet, furious fists, nimble knees, and energized elbows can leave her opponents delirious. Together, Inuyasha and Ayame would wipe out the competition in an instant before the referee counts to ten. Therefore, Inuyasha and Ayame define a mighty power couple rich in magnificent muscles and lightning limbs to make their opponents wish they never laid their hands on them. Outside their respective martial arts, they are also spicily intimate with each other whenever they want to unwind after a long day of battle. Moreover, they have even imparted their martial arts to their children and grandchildren to the point in which they have become just as formidable as their progenitors. When combining Inuyasha’s strength in Pankration and Ayame’s fleetness in Kyuk Too Ki, there is no wonder why their martial arts abilities have ended up becoming a beacon for their family’s lives.
There is no opponent more powerful than both Inuyasha and Ayame because this power couple combines brute strength and fierce power to beat them into submission. Thus, nothing can get this power couple down by any stretch of the imagination. Furthermore, their progeny has inherited their skills in their respective martial arts and is continuing their amazing legacy.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and train hard and well, everybody.

Octagon Ice and Olympic Fire
January 23, 2023 in The Splendid Seven
This piece of Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha fan art is dedicated to everybody who enjoys the sight of Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha being the strong, formidable, powerful, and tough duo of martial artist brothers that they are, with 41-year-old Sesshoumaru specializing in Mixed Martial Arts and 40-year-old Inuyasha specializing in Pankration.
Gouken and Akuma would salute Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha for their honor as powerful martial artists. Ryu Hoshi and Ken Masters have nothing but admiration for Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. Kazuya Mishima and Paul Phoenix respect the ground Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha step on. Tommy Oliver and Eric Myers would gladly bow down to Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s awesomeness. Zhane and Leo Corbett may feel free to unleash loud cheers to Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. Merrick Baliton and Cole Evans would love to applaud Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s incomparable awesomeness as combatants with much enthusiasm. Jason Lee Scott and Wes Collins would honor Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s power and courage as strong fighters. This is because Sesshoumaru’s strong combat prowess as a Mixed Martial Artist as well as Inuyasha’s aggressive brutality as a Pankratiast are guaranteed to make their enemies squirm and make every match these two dog Yokai brothers get themselves into be an execution. Sure, the octagonal cages from UFC, Pride FC, Bellator, and several mixed martial arts organizations may experience a deadly cold when Sesshoumaru is decked in his silver MMA gloves and silver MMA shorts with a silver icy flame design to execute his opponents with his uppercuts, liver punches, ground-and-pounds, sprawl-and-brawls, double-leg takedowns, armbars, and Kimuras, while all of Greece’s amphitheaters and arenas hosting Pankration tournaments may turn up the heat when Inuyasha is decked in his greyish black loincloth and greyish black Pankration gloves made of leather and goes ballistic against his opponents with his Superman punches, jabs, double axe handles, hooks, hammer fists, tracheal grip chokes, and rear naked chokes. However, when these two brothers join forces, they cause a bloody mess that is nothing short of a massacre, especially helped when Inuyasha locks the enemies on anaconda-like chokeholds, rear-naked chokes, Full Nelsons, and armbars while Sesshoumaru unleashes hooks, jabs, uppercuts, and straight punches to the face, temple, stomach, mouth, nose, chest, and solar plexus. In layman’s terms, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha are a pair of unstoppably powerful brothers who are the definitions of being strong Alpha Males inside and outside the arena.
It should be common knowledge that the martial arts form the basis of Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s lives, considering that both their father and their mother are renowned practitioners of Karate, Kenpo, Jiu Jitsu, and Judo. Sesshoumaru may have started off with Shotokan Karate, Goju-Ryu Karate, Kyokushin Karate, Ashihara Karate, Shidokan Karate, Seidokaikan Karate, Nippon Kenpo, and Shorinji Kenpo ever since he was a child, but he has also branched off into Mixed Martial Arts, Shootfighting, Pancrase, Luta Livre, Brazilian Jujitsu, Shooto, and Kajukenbo. Inuyasha may have begun with Kyokushin Karate, Ashihara Karate, Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Kickboxing, Boxing, and Wrestling when he was a child, but he has become extremely famous for his expertise in Pankration, Vale Tudo, Sport Sambo, Combat Sambo, Kapu Kuialua, Shoot Wrestling, and Shoot Boxing. Their father, Toga, and their mother, InuKimi, always imparted to both Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha that martial arts should never be just about punching, kicking, grappling, and striking, let alone only about winning tournaments and competitions, but they should also be about respect, discipline, dedication, and perseverance regardless of the hard challenges in life. Through their parents’ teachings and their growth as both martial artists and as people, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha have certainly gone from strength to strength in everything they have accomplished. Furthermore, they have also passed on their philosophies to their families and have become just as strong and courageous as these two powerful brothers.
Now that you have gotten acquainted with Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha as mixed martial artists, especially with Sesshoumaru being a fully-fledged Mixed Martial Artist and Inuyasha being a Pankratiast par excellence, let us hear what these two powerful gentlemen have to say.
(Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha are lifting weights, doing knuckle pushups, doing ab crunches, and unleashing a series of punches, kicks, and strikes on the punching bag. After their routine, they start sparring, as Sesshoumaru unleashes armbars, ground and pounds, liver punches, and face punches on Inuyasha. Inuyasha retorts by giving Sesshoumaru a strangulating choke to his neck and showering him with several punches to the face. The sparring intensifies in violence and grittiness, given the blood that is spewed from all over their bodies, but both brothers stop once they turn their direction to the audience. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha stand up, snarl like a couple of lions, raise their powerful arms, and flex their tremendous biceps. They then lower their biceps, give each other a fist bump, and bow to the audience.)
Sesshoumaru: I hope you have been entertained by our brand of brotherly love, dear viewers.
Inuyasha: Every attack we launch at each other is our way of saying that we love each other so much.
Sesshoumaru: You are always welcome to spar and train with us because it is our pleasure.
Inuyasha: We always enjoy having fighters come over to our training grounds and have a great time with us.
Sesshoumaru: Whether you are training for your next fight for UFC or just want to get fit, we have you covered.
Inuyasha: My awesome bro and I are going to whip you into shape before you can say “Glory to the Olympian gods!”
Sesshoumaru: We also love inviting strong opponents to our no-holds-barred fights.
Inuyasha: It’s way better, more fun, and more exciting than sex!
Sesshoumaru: We also hope you can tune into our battles where we maul our enemies to shreds and make them wail like the pitiful little creatures that they are.
Inuyasha: And take home the glory to share with our parents, our children, and our equally great teammates. In fact, I would even share my and my brother’s glory with our best buddies Shuran, Hakkaku, and Ginta, my wife Ayame, and my younger sister from another mister Shunran.
Sesshoumaru: Speaking of our teammates, brother dearest, you at home will not only witness Inuyasha and I reduce our enemies to simpering messes, but you will also witness how wonderfully we work together with Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran as fighters as well as a family.
Inuyasha: We always stick by each other’s sides inside and outside the ring, and we could not have had it any other way.
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha: Watch out, universe, because we are out to stomp the competition with everything we’ve got!
(Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha clasp hands, butt heads, and give each other a huge body slam.)
Sesshoumaru: Best friends!
(Sesshoumaru flexes his right bicep.)
Inuyasha: Best pals!
(Inuyasha flexes his left bicep.)
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha: Brothers together, brothers forever!
(Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha raise their arms up in triumph.)
Sesshoumaru: And we shall let it stay that way, dear brother.
Inuyasha: You got it, big brother.
(Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha embrace each other tightly. They then face the audience again.)
Sesshoumaru: We hope you enjoyed yourselves, everybody.
Inuyasha: Stay tuned for more awesomeness.
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha: And we hope to see you grow in strength. Take care and rise in power, health, strength, and love, everybody.
Thanks, guys. Well, I hope you all enjoyed seeing Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha in their muscularly virile glory. Take care, stay safe, and train hard and smart like Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha, everybody.

Massive Thanks to My DeviantArt 800 Watchers
January 20, 2023 in The Splendid Seven
Hey, everybody. Antoni here. I have just hit a new DeviantArt milestone, as I have reached exactly 800 watchers. Since I hit this number of watchers, I thought it would be nice to put forty of my favorite art pieces on display for all of you, wonderful people, as 800 is also divisible by that number. If you know me, I enjoy going further than the norm.
I am very grateful to all of you who have embarked on this exciting journey with me on DeviantArt. While there have been bumps and turbulence along the way, I am very glad to have gotten to know you and express the things I enjoy and am passionate about through my artwork. Whether it is The Splendid Seven being a powerful yet loving septet of Yokai warriors, especially with my number one beloved OTP of all time Inuyasha x Ayame leading the helm with their strength, sexiness, sinuousness, and superbness as well as their wonderful family, The Animated Jungle Brothers, The Comic Jungle Brothers or RobRae’s and Zutara’s Double Dates, I always feel inspired and motivated to create content for all of you. So, to all of my 800 wonderful DeviantArt watchers, please give yourselves a round of applause for being absolutely awesome.
The Splendid Seven may have started with my undying devotion and love to Inuyasha and Ayame as my number one OTP of all time to the point where I drew their fan-children and built on their unfailing strength as a powerful family. In fact, I made Inuyasha and Ayame have a total of fourteen children, consisting of seven muscular sons named Masataka, Masaya, Masaru, Kenta, Keita, Kazuhiko, and Kaito and seven fierce daughters named Kiriko, Momoko, Makoto, Mikoto, Maya, Minako, and Meika, who I hope to draw a lot more of. Nevertheless, adding in Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Hakkaku, Ginta, and Shunran proved to be a fun and interesting endeavor because of how superbly their individual strengths as combatants can transform into formidable collectivity against enemies more powerful and more vicious than them. Even as I continue to adorate Inuyasha x Ayame as my number one OTP of all time because of how Inuyasha’s magnificent muscles complement Ayame’s formidable fierceness, thus making them a super strong and stunningly sexy couple, I can never neglect Sesshoumaru’s and Inuyasha’s virile manliness as a duo of strong brothers, Shuran’s, Hakkaku’s, and Ginta’s terrific chemistry as a trio of best brothers, Ayame’s and Shunran’s fabulous flexibility as a duo of gorgeous sisters, Sesshoumaru’s and Shuran’s fortitude as great comrades, Inuyasha’s equally strong brotherhood with Hakkaku and Ginta, and even Hakkaku’s and Ginta’s adorable lovability with Shunran. The best ideas I have made for The Splendid Seven were having them be the Mighty Morphin Inurangers in their teen years, thus donning the Power Rangers signature suits and fighting against Naraku’s monsters and demons doing so, and be involved in martial arts tournaments akin to UFC, Pride FC, Tekken, Street Fighter, and many other fighting video games as well as martial arts tournament events I could barely name off the top of my head as they reach adulthood. The latter idea of having Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran involved in martial arts tournaments is one I continue to have the most fun with because of the various martial arts I chose for each Yokai warrior, with Sesshoumaru having Mixed Martial Arts, Shuran having Professional Wrestling, Inuyasha having Pankration, Hakkaku having Muay Boran, Ginta having Lethwei, Ayame having Taekwondo, and Shunran having Shaolin Kung Fu, as well as the spectacle of having seven Yokai martial artists unite, use their amazing strength as well as infallible combat prowess, fight against more powerful opponents, and win the acclaim of the audience while being honorable martial artists. Even better is when these seven martial artists train with the fighting game mentors that I have provided them with and even spar with the Saban-Era Power Rangers who I have chosen them to be their best friends for life as well as closest sparring partners, with Tommy Oliver, Jason Lee Scott, Eric Myers, Rocky DeSantos, Adam Park, Taylor Earhardt, and Jen Scotts being top of mind as the best people the Splendid Seven would consider as their best friends and greatest people they have had the chance to train with. My love for Sesshoumaru, Shuran, Inuyasha, Hakkaku, Ginta, Ayame, and Shunran uniting as The Splendid Seven will never fail, and it will last for an eternity.
George of the Jungle, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli uniting as a quartet of super strong, magnificently muscular, laudably lovable, and ferociously fierce jungle brothers will always leave me elated and inspired. There is always something phenomenal about having four muscular and powerful jungle warrior brothers being raised superbly by their father Chief Keewazi, who has seen his four precious sons grow from rambunctious boys to tough adolescent young men to the fierce warrior kings they have become. Since they also have Mufasa, Simba, and Kaj by their side as part of the family, given their strong affiliation with lions and leopards, it also makes sense for George, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli to use their muscles, fists, feet, claws, fangs, combat prowess, and animal ferociousness to overcome their enemies as well as be the feral hunters that they are. The brothers who truly embrace being feral are, of course, Basuli and Tarzan who would wrestle and roar at each other butt naked for sparring purposes, hunt naked while using their claws, fangs, muscles, and strength to overcome their prey whether they be antelope, wild boar, deer, or zebra; and smear their prey’s blood all over their buff, nude bodies to scare away poachers and looters by brutally pouncing them. Furthermore, George, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli revel in bodybuilding posedowns whether in the nude or in super skimpy g-strings, skinny-dipping in the river, and cuddling with each other like the close brothers that they are all while touching each other’s beautifully bulging muscles. Bulging muscles are not the only facets that make them awesome because George, Basuli, Tarzan, and Maugli are also powerful mixed martial artists with strong foundations in Pankration, Wrestling, Boxing, Muay Thai, Kapu Kuialua, Pehlwani, and Malla-Yuddha and can put their furiously exciting moves to great use against more powerful opponents whether in the ring or the arena. Outside George’s, Basuli’s, Tarzan’s, and Maugli’s beastly brutality and muscular virility, they also have loving relationships with Namontack, Kocoum, and Hercules and are flexible when it comes to spicy intimacy, specifically when Basuli and Tarzan love Hercules both body and soul, Namontack loves both George and Basuli unconditionally, and Kocoum demonstrates love, allegiance, respect, and affection towards both Tarzan and Maugli. Everything these four jungle brothers do together as well as with their mates is inseparable.
I may not have drawn much fan art of the Dell Comics’ version of Tarzan having a super strong brotherhood with Malb’yat, Kavandavanda, Aroc, and even Bundroc, but the ideas I have for these jungle brothers from the comics get more exciting by the minute. Aside from them, I would even love to do more fan art of Conan, Zula, Ka-Zar, and Arkon together as a quartet of powerfully muscular warriors who have bulging muscles of steel and lion-like virility. It would even be cool to have Bundroc, Malb’yat, Tarzan, Kavandavanda, Aroc, Sheena, and Jana practice their brand of mixed martial arts which combines Pankration, Kickboxing, Boxing, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Kapu Kuialua, and Malla-Yuddha among many prominent martial arts, especially those from Africa such as Moraingy and Dambe. Furthermore, it would even be fun to have Bundroc, Malb’yat, Tarzan, Kavandavanda, and Aroc flex their beautifully bulging muscles to their darling jungle queens Sheena and Jana as well as have all five jungle kings spar in Kickboxing, Boxing, Wrestling, and Muay Thai with each other and even Sheen and Jana spar in Kickboxing. The possibilities for Bundroc, Malb’yat, Tarzan, Kavandavanda, Aroc, Sheena, and Jana are endless, especially when they spar with Korak, Dick, and Doc in the martial arts that have defined them as powerful jungle warriors.
I dare not leave out my undying appreciation for Robin x Raven or RobRae and Zuko x Katara or Zutara having double dates in romantic locales and being two beautifully loving couples who will always love and care for each other as well as have beautiful children they can call their own. If I ever I have the passion to do more with RobRae and Zutara, I would do what I can to give these two beautiful couples the spotlight and even create the fan-children I have given names to. I would even love to tap into their noble sides, as I do perceive both RobRae and Zutara as couples who are rich in nobility, decorum, strong morality, and loyalty.
Everything I have done here on DeviantArt would not have been possible without your support and encouragement. It is because of you wonderful 800 DeviantArt watchers that I continue to create more content whether written or art-related. I will continue to do my part, give you more content, and keep growing in passion, high interest, undeterred determination, and pure appreciation. So, I thank you all once again from the bottom of my heart for your support, encouragement, kindness, and fortitude and for bearing with me for the four years and nine months I have been on DeviantArt. Stay awesomely golden, everybody.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I will see you in the next submission. Take care, stay safe, and thank you so much for your support, your encouragement, and your absolute awesomeness, everybody.
