So good, Benton, You have taken this to the next level with each pass.

Looks great Benton!
Phil, Marcos-
Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for visiting my blog!
I like how you put the splash of pink undies dead center of the composition. What a terrific illustration, dude.
Love this illustration, Benton. I liked how the pink panties show almost dead center of the composition!
Yow; the reason i said the same thing twice is I didn't notice the 1st comment had been posted!
