Fanzing's
2nd Annual
Swimsuit ChallengeRESULTS!
Our last contest asked artists to create versions of DC Characters in swimsuits. Last year's swimsuit challenge was our most popular art contest ever…and this year we got even more entries. TWENTY-ONE in all! Here are the results. As always, click on the thumbnail to download the full size picture:
Starfire never looked more breathtaking than in this pic
This shot of Arisia of the Green Lantern Corps. It's definitely some of Melissa's best work ever!
Boxers or Briefs? We find out in this shot by
Anarky in a swimsuit
A little something for the ladies! This is definitely a classy pic of Bruce Wayne.
Black Canary always looks tempting, but never more than in this rendering by Fanzing newcomer Joshua De Lava. More, Josh, MORE!
Catwoman in her classic cat o'nine tails and high heels outfit. (I should mention that the "Fanzing Dominatrix Challenge" isn't for a couple of months.)
Big Barda seems to be popular during these swimsuit contests! I wonder why?
The Green Lantern Corps have been absent from the DCU for a while…and now we see another reason or three to bring them back.
Harley Quinn continues to be one of the most popular animated DC characters ever!
ANOTHER newcomer to Fanzing! Infinity Inc goes to the beach, eh? Here's a scary thought: Mr. Bones isn't wearing a bathing suit! I realize his flesh is transparent, but STILL!
Barda again! Here we see all of the JLA's backup members. There's Zauriel in the sky, Mr. John Henry Irons is gleaming in the background there. Huntress shows off her tushie in a rather scanty bikini. And Barda wears a delightful red and yellow one-piece. Waitaminute! RED and YELLOW? Do you think she knows that she's wearing PLASTIC MAN? No wonder he's smiling!
Here's a startling entry by a new artist who I hope contributes more in the future! Supergirl reclines in a jungle…or does she? That's the Earth in the background. Obviously, this must be a terrarium section of the JLA watchtower. I hope Victoria will send us as much artwork as possible before she starts doing covers for DC!
Swimsuit Imps.
The artist offers this dialogue to accompany the piece: Argent: "There is, like, NO WAY I'm gonna get in that pool." Troia: "It's getting way too crowded in here." Starfire: "Sigh… Dick; speedo; those lips… sigh…" Changeling: "Oh, PARDON ME, Jesse. Don't let ME get in your way!" Jesse Quick: "Okay, listen, jerk: They CHOSE me! YOU'RE the one who didn't join!" Arsenal: "Good thing Grant's all the way back on the other side of the pool!" Lian: "I gotta tinkle, Daddy. I really gotta go! Now." Tempest: "Ch-ch-chlorine…. Must… get… out…" Nightwing: "I better not be seen like this." Harlequin: "They're not even gonna know I was in this picture! Hee heee!" Flash: "SorryIcan'tjoinyouguysbutIgottabeinOslofiveminutesagohavefunbye!"
One of two Wonder Woman pics, this one is in the Paul Dini animated style.
Superboy
Supergirl does some spearfishing. Don't tell Aquaman.
Wonder Woman plays some volleyball!
WonderGirl relaxes in a bikini!
Just as it says…Starfire heats things up! This was EXTREMELY difficult to judge. I thought the contest was over as soon as The Brothers Grinn sent in the very first entry (Big Barda wearing Plastic Man), but then a week would go by and I'd get ANOTHER fantastic entry, each unique in terms of detailed art or imagination or humor. Frankly, I've been wondering how we could change the judging, since it's unfair to compare a humorous entry with a cutting-edge computer-modeled entry and a photo-realistic picture. But I'm not going to change the judging now, so here are the results:
TOP ENTRY: Starfire by Ray of Ray's Super-Heroines
