"Beeftober" prompt: "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.

When I looked over the list of prompts, I found myself at a loss as to how to portray the repetition of "pumping up" in a single static image. (A pic like Inktober 2021 - Day 05 "Grind" doesn't say "pump" specifically, just "workout".) So I decided that animation was the perfect solution.

I needed more lead time for an animation than for a single drawing, so I started working on this about two weeks ago. In the meantime, however, I'd drawn Satin much heavier and more muscular in Inktober 2021 - Day 21 "Wings" and Inktober 2021 - Day 21 "Shredded" than I had in the animation. But I had only two or three frames left to finish, and (as the song says) "no time left to start again" with a beefier Satin. So I just let it stand. (That's why she seems "skinnier" in this animation.)
