Hello everyone ^_^

How are you? Are you doing well? I sure hope that you are! :) All righty then! I finally finished the next installment for my Sailor Moon art series, featuring Mercury in her royal garb! It took me a little longer than I had hoped, but I like to think that it turned out nicely. I posted the sketch in my scraps gallery not too long ago, as seen here:



And of course I already posted the previous images of both Sailor Venus and Mars in their own gowns:




I found myself rather enjoying the process of this image. Not that I didn't enjoy the other two of this series, mind you, but I found that the blues of this painting blended more smoothly than the reds and yellows of the previous pieces. I also had a lot of fun trying to depict Mercury's simple elegance, showing a touch of her intellect, as I mentioned in the sketch of this work. Though its subtle, having her hand on her chin as if carefully considering a topic at hand, I like to think that the image is successful in portraying her in an accurate manner.

Much like the other two images, I also took great care in the design of the dress. Though I also mentioned it in the descriptions of the other pieces, these particular dresses were only seen in the manga; particularly in the closing stages of the "Super S" arc. Given that these were meant to be the girls official formal attire illustrating their royal nature, I wanted to try my hand at depicting them, since they were, unfortunately, never seen in the anime series.

As always the piece was done by hand, using opaque water color paints. However, I did add the four cornered designs using Photoshop. Thanks for looking everyone! And take good care now! :blowkiss:

Love,
