Yeah, it would have been great, but I guess I have to get over it and move on. Phooey.

Thanks for the nice comment, though. Wait - you're "with Linda" on this one? You mean "Sticky Fingers" Brandon? Does that mean you're gonna help her steal stuff from me? Great. Outnumbered again.

Great job Rob, I too like everything about this, except that you removed the closeup. Unless Linda took it.

Beautiful, luxurious drawing. I love the unfinished bits.

Thanks, Jimmie! I'll re-shoot this when I get the chance. Um, that is, when Linda gives me back my camera.

Marvin - Thank you, sir! As usual, your compliments are highly appreciated and they let me know that I'm on a good track.

Well, David - I thank you for the compliments, but the unfinished bits remained unfinished due to my lack of speed. As you can see, they're kinda blocked in, but I faked it at the end to look like I was intentionally letting the drawing fade. I'm glad it works as such, but I'll always see it in a too-honest light.

Sharon, I thank you! You might think that such a pose would have hurt Rhonda's shoulders, but she was big into weight training, and her deltiods could have held up a car, I'll bet!
