Looks pretty likely that the inspiration for the Tahitian Lanai girl is the Hinano girl. But it must've been drawn for the Tahitian Lanai by a different artist, and somehow I like that illustration much better. The Hinano one is nice and kinda regal, but a little stiff. The Tahitian Lanai one is more casual, natural, and just looks more like she fits with a relaxed place you want to hang out, on a Tahitian lanai.

Side by side images below from the web for Hinano, and from Dustycajun for the Tahitian Lanai.

I do like the Hinano girl's big "Hang Ten" toes though.
