Description
"I'm a sailor of JUSTICE, I am Serenity. Princess of a Moon Kingdom destroyed by greed and evil. Though I have died, my spirit lives on hidden in a world called earth.When darkness falls, and those not satisfied by my Kingdom's end come crawling, I will awaken once more."
Ridiculous post intro over, inspired by spending MANY DAYS working on this piece. It's very different from my usual soft palette, it's what I was striving for (hopefully?).
After returning from Fanime, I was a bit giddy to try and create a few of my own fanart pieces from my childhood. What better way then starting with the staple, Sailor Moon.
I took liberties in changing things up. Removed some of the accessories, Venus now has whip.. Very hard not to convert to my old coloring ways but I kept with more solid lines and solid coloring.
Tribute to the Sailor Moon series.

Wow, I love absolutely everything about this piece! It's so beautiful. Love how you showcased other elements like the villains and the Moon Castle (does it have a name? I don't remember...), it all goes along so well in the composition. I really like the darker palette, the eyes and the rips on their clothes. I would love to see a Sailor Moon animation with this art style and a darker story to go along with it.

Holy cheese, this is amazing! I love this and your follow up to it. I get an idea from this drawing itself. If I was to do a drawing and I said that this was insperation, would that be ok with you? I don't want to violate any kinda of rule you know.

This looks very much like Sailor Moon meets Hellboy, or at least Mike Mignola. Great pic!

This is pretty flippin awesome in so many ways. I love the style, I like how it's a little more dark, a littlemore realistic, and honestly, the whip isn't that big of a change, since she has that "love chain" thing that acts as a whip. I really like this piece.

Glad you enjoy my take on the series -cheers- . And I agree about the whip, just wanted to see her actually hold one. Had to reduce the size of the file, but on the whip there are little hearts -mehehehe-
