<title>Swimsuit S-b-S: final colors</title>
<description><![CDATA[This image(1st of three) is for the Beauty Contest that was on the front page newspost a [long] while ago.
So, this is the final color version. 
I changed her hair, because it looked out of whack, and I like it a little more. I also colored the back, and the final has no lines there. A little experiment, and it turned out okay.

I didn't end up working on this as soon as I wanted because: 
1. I'm super lazy in the summer. I'm lucky if I do five minutes of work. I'm surprised I actually was working for so long through the summer as it is.
and 
2. I finally settled into a rhythm with my new classes, and actually have time to play/draw again. AP Calculus is rough on one's schedule...

By the way, since I need to have 10-20 samples(art) for my portfolio for my application, I'll probably be posting a whole lot on deviantart in the next couple of days. [not here. probably won't be WH stuff.] So if you want to check those out, drop by my deviantart account @ http://ladyrenozenth.deviantart.com/ 
Between now and the end of the month, I hope to finish enough pieces to apply with, so if you're lazy, you could look at them all at once by checking around that time.

EDIT: I forgot to color her eyes, and I messed around with her face and the bg.

Everyone:
Sorry I took so long to update :C

Rockster1039:
Thanks for rating, I'm glad you like my work.

Aisu: 
I guess it's because of the shoulder-sashy thing. Most of the time with beauty contests, they give one of those, a crown, and (probably) flowers to the grand prize winner. But I'm not grand prize, either.
You know, I only realized the prize-acceptance pic was only required for the top ranked characters, instead of everybody...after those got posted. Oh, well. That pic looks nice. One of the rare times I actually shade.]]></description>

<title>Acceptance S-b-S : ink+shading</title>
<description><![CDATA[So, I'm working on this last image for the Drunk Duck Beauty Contest.
[url]http://www.drunkduck.com/Drunk_Duck_Beauty_Contest/[/url]

I really like my shading...I ended up doing that instead of drawing more, because I can do it mindlessly, unlike starting a new pic, which I have to come up with an idea for. Although, after Otakon, I did do a lot of fanart, for some reason.

My b-day was on the 29th, in case you didn't know and care for things like that. Myself, I think Persona 3 is more important. Man, I wish I had money to buy it...

teddibaer: Well, the AMV's weren't great this year, but I had fun.  Potter? I'm not a hardcore fan, but I read the books, when it's convenient.]]></description>

<title>Acceptance S-b-S : Sketch:// ink in progress</title>
<description><![CDATA[So, I'm working on this last image for the Drunk Duck Beauty Contest, and I haven't got very far...I was stuck on the feet...cursed high heels, how does one draw those things?!?
[url]http://www.drunkduck.com/Drunk_Duck_Beauty_Contest/[/url]

Ahem. I'm going to Otakon, so don't expect any updates from 7/13 - 7/27. I'll be in Richmond/Baltimore during that time. The only way I might update is if I finish stuff before I leave, and I'm working on a cosplay, some borrowed anime I'm returning Friday, and trying to finish summer reading [English Honors] before I leave. Maybe I'll put up some random/ untouched since CW began WH sketches.

So, sorry. I don't have any excuses for not having updated up until now, though. Just lazy...
I haven't worked on the last pic for awhile. I feel guilty. ^^;

[I'll do replies later...there were quite a few...]

Replies(I'm back!):
teddibaer: Thanks! I'm not good at poses yet...
I found the data worthwhile to make it public, also, I'm lazy, so it's easier just adding it to my comic rant as opposed to doing the rant and a message.

Aisu: Yay! I should work on it tomorrow...I'm so lazy. I feel bad for not working on anything over the time I was gone, even though I couldn't. Though, I don't have any excuse for before that, so I guess the guilt is well-founded.

timlight: Ooh, that's cool!
[Edit: DD keeps eating my replies after this point!]

machiavelli33: Thanks. Yes, I did put them there on purpose~

Evil_Snuffkin: I'm always surprized people rate so high...I don't really think I'm that good.]]></description>

<title>Swimsuit S-b-S: base change</title>
<description><![CDATA[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.

Replies:
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 [I was trying to make it look more like a thick fabric (by using colored outlines), like a robe, but I realize (now) that if I were going to do colored lines, I have to do them on the whole image]. 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.]]></description>

<title>Swimsuit S-b-S: base colors</title>
<description><![CDATA[This image(1st of three) is for the Beauty Contest that was on the front page newspost a little while ago.
So, back to this image. I don't think I like the top. I guess I'll be changing the colors in the next draft, so I'll be taking suggestions on that.
The o-rings were a nice idea, but I don't think I pulled them off very well, that'll be in the suggestion box for the next draft as well, so please comment to help me out. Everytime I look for stck as reference, hours are lost.

I like the star.
