"Champion"
When I first saw the prompt "Champion", the pic in my mind was blindingly obvious: Satin Steele winning Ms. Ultima. But about halfway through the month I began to realize that the prompts preceding Day 29 could be used to tell the story of Satin preparing for the contest. And even the pic I'd already drawn for Day 5 "Grind" fit in nicely to the storyline.
I'll start shooting the October 2021 Q and A video pretty much as soon as I can after I hit "Publish Now" on this post. And if editing and post-production go OK, maybe it'll post tonight! (But the upload to YouTube can be a lengthy process, so I don't want to promise tonight. But I don't foresee any problem with tomorrow!)

I couldn't let October end without giving you "Patrons of Strong-Girl Art" a reward: a pic of Cynthia (Starburst) Robinson in her bedroom. Enjoy!

"Beef"
Under the bright lights of the Ms. Ultima stage, Satin Steele wows the crowd - and the judges - with her spectacular crab crunch/"most muscular" pose.
I nay have cheated a little bit by adding type to the drawing, but I wanted a way to show that this was happening at the Ms. Ultima contest, and what better way to do that than to include the onstage banner behind her?

"Scale"
The official sign-in/weigh-in for the Ms. Ultima competition.
Contestant: Janet Elizabeth "Satin" Steele
Height: 5 feet, 9 inches tall (175.26 cm)
Weight: 195 pounds (88.45 kg)
Assigned badge number 26
I extrapolated Satin's weight from the current Ms. Olympia, Andrea Shaw. According to Wikipedia, Ms. Shaw stands 5' 5 ½" and competes at a weight of about 1...

"Pump"
Backstage at the Ms. Ultima competition, Satin Steele pumps up her biceps with a pair of elastic bands, in preparation for the preliminary judging rounds.
...Yeah, yeah, I can hear you out there: "Hey, it's cool that it's animated, but she's so skinny in this one! You've been drawing her so much beefier in pics like 'Wings' and 'Shredded', what happened?" Well, the reason for that ...

So remember last week I decided to sit out Day 22 because a) I'd put an insane amount of work into Day 21 ("Wings") and b) I didn't have an idea for a pic I wanted to draw more than I wanted to not draw? Well, today I saw a photo I had in my archives of Colette Guimond pounding on her pecs with a mallet, as she is wont to do on occasion to show how mighty her chest is, and it hit me (pun intended) what I could draw!

"Shredded"
Satin Steele is proud of what she sees in the mirror. But behind her smile, there's a little concern: "Am I peaking too soon? Can I hold this condition for 24 more hours, until the Ms. Ultima is over?"
Trying to match Satin's figure to the reflection in the mirror (or vice versa) is probably the most difficult task I think I've ever set myself. And I'm sure that if you look clo...

"Bar"
An elegant Cynthia Robinson (a.k.a. Starburst) sips wine at a ...bar.
...maybe she's waiting for someone?
This what's called "subverting expectations". Since the "Beeftober" prompts for Inktober concern, bodybuilding, weight training and muscle, you see the prompt "Bar" and you think "yeah, barbell bar" and "here's another pic of someone working out". Well, I was a little burn...

"Break"
When the subject is female muscle, and the word "break" comes up, I always think "breaking chains". And I've done quite a few drawings of Tetsuko doing that.
But this time, I decided to change things up a bit, and give Starburst a chance to show off her chain-breaking abilities.
Looks like she's pretty good at it!
2021-10-23 18:24:14 +0000 UTC View PostI'm taking the day off from Inktober 2021. After the insane amount of detail I put into yesterday's "Wings" pic, I just couldn't find anything about today's "Beeftober" prompt, "Hammer", that compelled me to draw it. (I had some ideas, but nothing that said "drawing this will be better than anything else you'll draw today!")
So I'm not taking the day off from drawing; just gonna work on other stuff. For example, a drawing for my "Patron of Strong-Girl Art"-tier sponsors.

"Wings"
Rehearsing her compulsory poses for the Ms. Ultima, Satin Steele spreads her "wings" in the front lat pose.
Quite possibly the best drawing of Satin I've ever produced.

"Core"
With this year's Ms. Ultima competition only days away, Satin Steele is deep into her preparation to win the world's top bodybuilding title for the second year in a row. She checks her core conditioning, and feels good about her chances of repeating.

"Crush"
A common trope in superhero fiction: the bad guy fires a gun at our hero(ine), not realizing (or momentarily forgetting) that she's bulletproof. Dyna the Damsel Dynamo calms steps up to the gunman, snatches the gun out of his hand, and proceeds to crush it with her bare hand.
(yes, that's one of the three ski-masked goons who stole the tank in Day 17's entry, "Tank")

Sometimes I think of a pose or theme for a drawing, and I look through my archives looking for reference for the pose and details.
And sometimes, I come across a photo that suggests a drawing.
That's what happened here. I came across - let me rephrase that - I found a photo of a woman bodybuilder (whose name I don't know, unfortunately) taken from an extreme low angle. Now I've already collected a fair number of other such "up-angle" FBB photos for use as reference in future...

Starburst is one of the most powerful beings in the Universe - so it's hard to imagine the sheer power of the mysterious being or beings who could subdue her and restrain her to this asteroid!
Her struggles to break her shackles have been fruitless so far, since her shackles can sense the strength she's exerting against them, and feed enough energy to overcome her efforts. Rocket engines fire at random moments to randomize the trajectory of the asteroid so that its movements can't be tr...
