@SophieD–I know, right?! I'm having the same problems with the girls from VF! XD
@usedbooks–In due time, I'm sure they'll start feeling more comfortable with their bodies and expose alittle more skin here and there! ;)

All this talk of confidence… me, I'll take resilience over confidence any day. Resilience steps in when confidence hides in the shadows!

Darkace: I do this thing where I put a rubberband around my fingers and flex. I've been to a physical therapist on occasion and they showed me some life long exercise that really helps manage my RSI.

And on the subject of confidence, here's Mr. Dragonaur.

Those are some wild swimsuit entries! The competition is higher than ever.

@dragonaur–Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely try that! :D The injury itself stems from an old injury to my wrist and it's affecting the hand enough that it's painful to even draw or lift anything with it even with a wrist guard on. It's feeling better, though, so a little more rest and it'll probably be good to go. In the meantime, I'm drawing with my other hand. :)

darkace: I highly recommend physical therapy. Last time I was in, I told the doctor I was paying for this out of pocket. So I got the "condensed" treatment plan. Only two visits! But he gave me a bunch of daily exercises that I still do to this day! RSI never really goes away, it just gets managed carefully! ^_^;

Here, Khthonis models a nautically-inspired bikini called "Neptune's Nemesis". The image is actually a parody of a Steven Meisel photograph of Madonna hitch-hiking naked in Miami. It's from her 1992 book, "Sex"

A larger image can be seen at my comic, "Rimjob"

I started on one of the swimsuit entries, but, yeah, I agree. These are really really hard acts to follow.

First of all WOW!!!
Second of all, KimLuster and Usedbooks, I hear you and agree, but I also think you are both selling your character's short. used, personally I don't see Keiko or Tristan in traditional swimsuits. I see Tristan in a bedroom with shorts and a robe showing skin telling everyone that he doesn't like swimming but he can still show skin. Or just on a beach with board shorts like a normal kid. For Keiko, I see her in an adorable old fashioned swimsuit jumper showing no skin or a burkini or even something fun for the beach. Maybe Tristan and Keiko need to be together again for swimsuit.
KimLuster - be authentic with Socorro. She will need that as a single mother.
What is so amazing about #Pageant is that is not about beauty but about personality and visuals. Sometime people are classical, some heavy metal, some people are country and some people are city. Let #Pageant take you to your new level.
Thank you guys…so excited to see more! And I appreciate Alexa joining in!

Oh and I almost forgot!
Dragonaur!!! You're description of the rules in an earlier post above was really impressive. You get me. and the rules! I need to keep you around.

Seiko in a 50's inspired one-piece. She was willing to go without her ear jewelry (she wears it to hide her "mutilation," which is very minor). I put her on a boat because boats are fun.

Posted at 7:07PM, Jul. 23, 2015

Seiko is so adorable in this drawing! Her personality really comes through.

Posted at 8:07PM, Jul. 23, 2015

Yes, Seiko looks pretty relaxed there especially after all the trepidations! ^_^

@VinoMas–Thanks! I'm glad I entered Alexa as well, even for just the swimsuit competition. My original intention was to enter Alexa, Rhianna and Erica and even some of the guys even for just portions of the competition, but since reinjuring my drawing hand, I've been drawing with my other hand and I'm not sure how much work I can get done. I'm hoping to put a few more pieces in until my hand heals and I'll be able to draw with it again, but we'll just have to see.

Posted at 1:07PM, Jul. 24, 2015

Seiko looks so chill. Good idea to use a boat!

Posted at 1:07PM, Jul. 24, 2015

Seiko looks great! Very nice composition!

Posted at 3:07PM, Jul. 24, 2015

Thanks. ^_^ She does kinda look like she had a glass of wine.

She's on the pink beaches of the Bahamas.

Looking totally stylish!

So cute! I love the little pose/walk and the colors and the dialogue. :)

Posted at 8:07AM, Jul. 25, 2015

Well, swimming or no, she still knows how to work that beach shirt! I love her hairdo too.

Posted at 8:07PM, Jul. 25, 2015

Thanks! She loves to do her hair up anyway she can think of. One of her favorites is Scary Spice's hair horns.

Fantastic Entries, UsedBooks and Luccia! Both of them have 'coy look' - they know they're catching some eyes!!
