Excellent!

Yeah, the first thing that struck me about this was the lack of masks! (And gloves.) (And social distance.) Your heroines are so strong they got the virus licked...or they're so confident of their abilities, they don't have to worry. They look like they're both, here! Masterful pinups, Rod, with your usual mastery of pose, light, consummate work on the outfits, vivid colors, and so on. Phaetera seems the most magic-laden of the bunch (with her traveling light); and her expression reminds me of Disney---her eyes and smile are classic full animation---beautifully done! I'm always amazed at the attention you pay to details...in Wendacora's eye makeup or in the streaks in her hair---and the way they match the two-tones of her top. The light on Tempest's bathing sit (that's not a bikini, right? isn't a bikini in 2 pieces?), or how her head is line with that big cloud-peak above her---a natural crown. The light on Phaetera is fantasy-like too---she's a sexy Disney character, almost with anime features...and I like that you give all those birthdays in the calendar part. A dazzling addition to the calendar. (And I finally figured out the "Found it!" reference: You've spoken of 'losing your marbles' for a long time, and you found them! Don't ask how I didn't figure that out...I'm pitifully slow sometimes!) (I found one of mine in an alley. I said, "whoa---that's one of my marbles!" Mine show up every few weeks...)

LOL - that cloud bank (one of my photos) behind the Girls - and echoing their head positions - was a total coincidence. I didn't even think about it until it was posted. Must be my inner "Composition Faerie" at work again!

I need to edit that calendar as far as birthdays - I didn't know Barb's birthday was the 1st until I saw your post (will be commenting soon..) Take good care of your marbles, buddy! Took a while to find mine.... 😆

love those chairs! Super image!!! Stay safe! What is this sane thing you speak of??

Hmmm..... Sane....... Let's see......... I used to know what that was.......... I'll get back to you on that....... 😆

Very great work, it's superb

I really like this calendar page for May, and your version of the "Galactic Divas"...Wonderful picture, Rod!

Very cute and well done :)

You totally knocked this right out of the park Rod! They all have lovely curves! Very natural indeed!

Nice work! This lovely trio look happy to be out in the warm sunshine. I hope its warming up where you are, Rod, its still cold on the East Coast.

Nice! They look perfectly pampered.

GORGEOUS
