Swimsuit S-b-S: base change

This image(1st of three) is for the Beauty Contest that was on the front page newspost a little while ago.
So, this is an adjustment of the last, before I do the finishing touches [highlights/shadows/background].
I added a sarong [that's what they were called, right? I'm not completely sure.] because the shorts didn't seem to fit with the new top, which I now love so much more.

If you think I should change anything else before diving into the highlights/shadows, please tell. Tomorrow I'm going to be working on the talent image, so once I get that finished to a certain extent, I'll finish this one.

Aisu: The color/transition comment really helped. I decided to do a solid black outline after all. I was just experimenting with the flesh tone line, after all . So you think this version is good, or is there something else that needs changing?

teddibaer: I'm sorry! I understand that some would prefer to read a comic, and that's why I haven't submitted this to the CW Event List yet. Additionally, when I'm working on these contest images, I don't have enough time to also work on comics. The last nail in the coffin is even if I do have time to work on comics, I have to devote that time to other comics that have priority, since they are actually scripted and waiting for me to draw. I really don't like working on other comics when my writer is waiting for pages all the time…
As soon these contest images are done, I'll try to work on making comics. But until all this other stuff is finished, I can't guarantee pages soon. [My comics/image/&c. time is parceled up into different projects like this: aforementioned scripted comic 60%, misc. (other ideas I'm nurturing until they hatch/work on portfolio) 20%, and White Hole 20%]
Last, keep in mind I wouldn't be able to produce comics as often, given the same amount of time as these images. People normally prefer eye candy to nothing, which would be what this would be, if I didn't do this stuff. I was considering making this since the beginning of the CW but it wouldn't be up yet unless I posted misc. WH images.

Man, that's long and excuse-filled.
