Well, usually I don't show anything for the swimsuit issues as I want to make it a surprise, but I'll give ya a "bust" shot of Alera.
I'll give you a hint on the suit she's wearing, it's one I found in a screenshot of the game known as Dead or Alive Xtreme beach volleyball. To give you an idea of what it is, basically a bunch of narrow straps. Alera is on all fours. The background, well, I did a search for swimsuit models and I found an image of a woman laying on a wet sand beach with a bit of water in the background and some plants. It should look good against Alera.
As for her suit color/ pattern... it's a medium gray only because I haven't decided the color yet. I may do something like a gradient that goes from come color (at the top) to white (at the bottom). But I'm sometime away from doing the color on Alera since I gotta paint the background first.
So, without talking people to death,
Now, if I don't run out of time before the Feb 15th deadline, Crescens will be the second one. given that her arms are unique, it occurred to me to have her surfing a wave. I haven't decided on the size of the wave yet but I may lean towards the giant, tunnel-ish type that you see people in. Still gotta decide yet.
One thing I like about drawing Crescens is that she doesn't have conventional arms and hands. I
hate drawing hands :P. But the funny thing is with her hands being translucent, it'll look cool against the background.
