Wanted to do another back pic and figured Beidou would be a good candidate, since I imagine her as being pretty curvy overall and I knew she would have assets to show on both fronts. I see a lot of people making her muscular but I dont like that so this is my take instead, a curvy strong type.

This also allowed me to go heavy on the "skindentation" (the bikini pushing in on her skin) which always gives it that ultra soft look. This is especially visible around the hips and breasts of course.

For the bikini colors I knew I wanted either red or black, and then I thought why not both? I really liked the black to red gradient I did for the nails on the last pic so I brought that back and did the same with the bikini. I think its one of the most popular gradients in general, I remember it being very common with ffxiv character hair when I was doing a lot of commissions.

I could have gone a few different ways for the background with a beach being the obvious one but Ive done a bunch of those lately and I wanted something more enclosed this time. Just her alone in some place only she knows of (or maybe not, lol) where she goes to relax. Of course theres also some voyeur/peeping feel to it with the way the scene is "shot", but thats up for interpretation.

This was probably the quickest thing Ive done this year, both the sketch and the coloring went very smoothly and for some reason I didnt feel the usual perfectionism with this one so I was ready to move on as soon as it looked "good enough". I guess I just wasnt as invested as usual, but Im still happy with how it turned out of course.
