Hello everyone!

How are you? Are you doing well! I sure hope that you are! :) Well, I FINALLY did it! At long last! :XD: I was able to finish the LAST of the Sailor Senshi in royal garb! Halleluyah! :airborne: It took QUITE a while to do, but I do hope that the final results were pehaps worth the considerable wait time! :phew: ^^;

Though I'd mentioned this in the description of the pervious works, I began this series of images a few years ago, with my depictions of the Inner senshi, Sailor Venus, Mars, Merucy and Jupiter as seen in the links below:

(It seems there's a limit to how many thumbnailed images you can include in a Deviation description......)

In recent months, however, I had wanted to try to complete the series of images, with the Outer Senshi, Sailor Neptune, Uranus, Pluto and now Saturn.



As I also mentioned in the numerous other descriptions in the above works, these images are based on the official royal attire that were designed by esteemed Sailor Moon creator, Naoko Takeuchi herself. She had designed a princess gown for each individual young woman, which were first seen in the Sailor Moon "Super S" arc of the manga, and in a few of her official art books as well. Sadly, these beautiful dresses were never seen in the anime of the series (at least the previous anime....) so I decided to try my hand at rendering them myself. In doing so however, I wanted to try to depicting the girls in a more anime-esque style, rather than the manga look to them. I guess that was my way of seeing them in such attire, since it was such a tragedy that they were never featured. :( But then again, with the upcoming NEW Sailor Moon anime series, which will premiere in the near future(hopefully...) maybe we the fans WILL finally get our wish, among others! :)

Anyhow, returning to the image above, I started my depiction of Sailor Saturn, with the sketch that I posted a few weeks ago as seen here:



Though I also stated this in my previous commenary, I wanted to depict Hotaru to appear a bit younger than the other girls, as she WAS certainly younger, though I often found it difficult to determine her exact age. ^^;Things were even more confusing given that she was killed, reserrected, revereted back to a baby, and then changed back to a young woman; though seemingly not the same age as she had been in the Sailor Moon S series????? This could simply be due to the animation style changing, and seeing her positioned next to an older Chibi Usa who was closer in height by then, supposedly. It's difficult to say....

Either way, I did want her to look a bit younger, so I made her gown a bit less form fitting and more flowy, in terms of the fabric. Also, when I think of Hotaru, I always reminded her shyness and sweetness, given hos sheltered she had been; particularly with all the ominious events happening around her in her youth.... I truly loved her friendship with Chibi Usa, however, and I think it's in this instant that those qualities of hers really shined through.

Anyhow, as always the piece was done by hand using opague water color paints! Thanks for looking and take care! :thanks:

Lots of Love,
