Comments from the SpaceSuit Design Contest 2008:

• Judge "A" says:
  • Kyle Miller's skin suit shows little detail although the bubble helmet is big enough for SnowBuni to wear her ears comfortably. The other suit is interesting but it's more like the setting than a second figure really.

  • The way I read Jeff's instructions, the two big must-haves for these pinups was a creative and functional (unless you're Wally Wood...) take on a Sylvalagi spacesuit, and the usage of two characters from his universe. Plus, as with all the pinup contests, it should be Good Girl art. So far as the first is concerned, her spacesuit looks usable in a Jetsons-style future, though her ears might brush the insides of that bubble helmet annoyingly at times. But what the hey. The skintight suit is perhaps not what we'd see in real life, but it is a tradition in SF. It's in the use of two characters, which Jeff rightly points out, where Kyle's pic has a shortcoming. I marked some points off for that, which is not meant to say I enjoyed it artistically any less. His fade from dark to medium blue in the sky bleshes well with the light coloring on the foreground characters, and the touches of red and green tie Snowi and the anonymous character together well.
