Dear costume designers and digital artists,
Colouring two tiny spandex nipple coverings and a g-string with a simple pattern is not a female version of whatever costume/character you're inspired by.
Simply because the string bikini is green camouflage does not make the costume a "female commando"
Simply because it's silver does not make it a "sexy cyborg" costume.
Now I'm not saying a bikini can't be an element of the costumes you want to make. But on their own, they seem ...incomplete to generously say the least. I suppose you could add ...bikini model to the end of the costume name, but even then it doesn't always work. I'd want a "cyborg bikini model" to have some leds and maybe some metal/plastic plating etc...
Simply because the girl in the lingerie wears a fireman hat does not make her a firewoman. A firewoman who has lost her clothes maybe. Which is fine...
It really is if that's what you're going for. I mean, I love skimpy bikinis I do, but if you're telling me as an artist who was asked to design a vampiress.. your best idea with all of the potential that exists, the most creative and interesting choice you can make to share something with the world is ... take the commando bikini and paint it black. In response, I must say what the hell is going on?
I know the female body is a wonderful thing, but seriously? Is there a fabric shortage? Did you buy pencils that can't draw clothes? How do they make those?
I certainly don't know. Sammy Samson I am ...signing off.
