Part 2 - 270°
In just one year of relentless practice, Noah inched closer to his goal of a 360° torso twist. And while he may not have conquered the 360° dream within the exact 360-day deadline he set, the work he had done in this year was still remarkable and he certainly had something to celebrate. His torso twist measured a whopping 270°, with only 90° left to master...
"Only..." Heh. Noah didn't just count degrees, he lived them, and he knew the real value of each degree. After all, it took him just 4 short months to achieve 180° – much to his own amazement, but it took twice that time to tack on another 90°... Time may have been his foe, but persistence was his sword!
Despite not quite hitting his deadline, there's no denying that Noah had earned a celebration. And so, as the calendar flipped to mark a full year of sweat and passion, Noah decided to celebrate in style.
Noah made his way to a local photo studio, where the photographer couldn't help but marvel at Noah's incredible flexibility during the shooting. Impressed by such uniqueness, she presented him with an irresistible deal – slash the price in half if he agreed to a beautiful nude shot. Little did Noah knew, this bold move would soon catapult him into the spotlight.
The photo turned out so impressive that instead of paying for it, Noah himself got paid a nice sum in cash for agreeing to hang the photo in the studio as a featured work. Thus, without warning, Noah transitioned from a hidden hobbyist to a sought-after professional overnight!
A week later, the photographer called with some exciting news – their little studio had become a hotspot for art enthusiasts eager to see "The Twisting Youth." Art galleries across town were clamoring for copies, hailing it as a game-changer in expressive photography, while several famous models have already publicly expressed their intentions to enroll themselves in yoga or contortion classes.
Noah was very happy that his twist had captured the hearts of nude photographers, but the idea of posing as a full-fledged photo model didn't sit well with him just yet. Laundry duties awaited; but more importantly, he had to keep practicing so much harder if he wanted to reach his goal of 360° torso twist...
Plus he has this proud look and cute hair :) I really like that this picture is showing how skin and the rest of body is stretched. It is different kind of detail not seen in just "rubber" bodies.
I wish I could describe my praise better. Ie that i can see that he is "relaxed" despite extraordinary strain.
I have an idea! Small one but, what about in such pose your characters using one or both their hands to touch ie nipple or ribcage? I know it is another and hard thing but it could be nice touch!
Shifty
As for your suggestion to have the character touch their ribcage/nipples in these poses, I think it's a great idea! It would definitely add more dynamics and realism to the scenes. I'll definitely keep that in mind for future illustrations. I also hope you will enjoy the other chapters of this story! :D

A cool painting with taste and knowledge of the topic.
To me, a great story exists kind of "independently", it doesn't cater to anyone's expectations or desires. Just like how the sun rises without considering whether people will appreciate it or not, and the beautiful flowers on the road bloom irrespective of who gets to admire them, a truly authentic story should exist just for its own sake... For me, anything less than this feels like just another guy trying to sell some funny shit he makes to a group of randoms and not much else.
