For several years now, I've had in mind the idea of creating a swimsuit calendar - an actual, printed calendar, not just digital art - featuring my characters (Satin Steele, Dyna the Damsel Dynamo, and of course Tetsuko). But my other projects, my "day job" and life in general made getting the art together very problematic. I've only been able to finish two of the 12 illustrations I'd need for such a calendar; this one and the previous pic.

I've already featured this pic at my deviantART site (where you can buy a print of it, if you're so inclined; I'd certainly appreciate it!).

Water effects are hard! But I like how this turned out, and I hope you do too.

Actually Tetsuko couldn't wait to change out of this suit when the photo-shoot was finished. "Too many straps!" she complained. "Made me feel like I was being tied up!" (She should know better than to make comments like that; they give me ideas...)
