Edit: Thanks to :iconshinwa-tsuki: I got some better references in regards to Venu's dress! ^_^ I also added some more detail to her in general :) 03/29/11

Hello everyone ^_^

How are you? Are you doing well? I sure hope that you are! :) Well, as I mentioned in my most recent journal, I wanted to go ahead and begin my Sailor Moon series of pieces, beginning with the Inner Senshi in their royal attire. Though not present in the anime series, it seemed the each of the girls had their own intricate gowns, similar to Princess Serenity's dress as seen in both the anime and manga. Though my manga knowledge is a bit fuzzy, it seems that the girls sported these gowns in the "Super S" arc of the manga and in a few of Naoko Takeuchi's art books related to the series. I thought it was a shame that these lovely designs never made it into the anime series also. Therefore, I thought that I would try to depict them myself, in a slightly anime-esque style.

I began with Sailor or perhaps it is more accurate to say Princess Venus, as seen above. Though the pose is simple, I hoped to capture a stance that was a bit sassy, much like the spirited character of Minako aka Mina herself. When drawing the image, I thought of the enhanced "Super S" transformation, where she would flip her hair back with her hands, unlike the original transformation sequence during the original Sailor Moon series through Sailor Moon S season.

As for the dress itself, I was a bit limited by the cropped images in the Sailor Moon artbook of Naoko Takeuchi that I own, and a few images in the manga. However parts of the dress itself were difficult to interpret, so I sought to fill in the blanks myself. I'd like to think that I depicted it as accurately as I could though! I hope you all like it, and I hope to paint the final as soon as I possibly can! I also look forward to depicting the other girls too! It's been far FAR too long since I have! :XD: Thanks for looking everyone and take care!

Love,

Ew, never call her Mina.


Good job, btw.
