Something Different

There haven't been any posts in a while, despite (or perhaps because of?) the excitement surrounding the US re-release of the Sailormoon manga (not to mention the first US release of Codename: Sailor V!). Regardless, my last couple posts have been about rather meticulous & detailed illustrations...so I thought perhaps this time I'd take it back old-school with some fun stick figures!

I particularly like the first one, because I've always loved how Sailormoon has always possessed an equal balance between drama & romance and humour. Nothing like a good shot of Usagi cracking up.

Saturn & Pluto

To continue the series...

Neptune & Uranus

What I did last night:

Re-Imagining

So excited to post these images! I drew them the other night.

Queen Beryl:

Emerald:
Mistress 9:
This is an alternative drawing style that is one of my absolute favourites to use. I get really inspired by re-imagined versions of classic characters, so both the vintage aesthetic that a few people here use, as well a lot of the other stylizations, are some of the fan artwork that I like best. I appreciate when people do skillful fan art in the anime/manga style, but I like it best when illustrators employ their own unique hand to bring a whole new perspective to these familiar characters.

(***I totally get that they look a little drag-queen-ish, but I think it gives them some extra personality. :P )

First Post!

Hi everyone - so excited that this forum exists to share our unique Sailormoon doodles and whatnot. All work I will be posting is my own, although you will see that I have various drawing styles. Enjoy!

The first is a really glamourous Sailormars I drew a few years ago. The second is just a quick pencil sketch I did the other week. My representations tend to be more in the style of fashion illustration, because that's the industry I work in.

A lovely duet of Sailor Moon art from fellow SM fan, Jenn S.!

You can see more of her work here!

Kat/Taffygiraffe

HOOOOO boy! I've been meaning to post taffygiraffe's work for a long time. Around the time when I first started this blog,  I came across her art and was blown away. A special bonus are the little sailormoon gems she's done from time to time. Here are just a few of them!

Special Special bonus!

As someone who loves both Sailor Moon and Kat's art, you can imagine how happy I was to see her take on my own retro-scifi redesign concept for the characters. She's taken Sailor Mercury and given her a kickass makeover!

Speaking of redesigns, here is her very awesome, very stylish take on the scouts!

Alright, if you haven't done so by now, GO CHECK OUT TAFFYGIRAFFE'S ART! It'll make your day 10 times better.

GO GO GO !

Yeppers!

Mercury and Jupiter

Hello there! This is my first post, I am excited to be apart of this group :) These are just a few sketches that I did in my sketch book. I think that I may do something with them in photoshop or artrage.

Sailor Barbarian

We have a pretty kickin' fanart submitted by one Greta Xella! Sailor Moon has rarely looked so tough!

You can see more of Greta's art over at her blog!

(contains some mature works)

Awesome guest submission, check out the rest of her stuff!

Sailor Space Station

I'm supposed to be getting ready for bed, but nooooo. I'm drawing redesigns of the sailor scouts based on the idea of them being on a space station. It would be kind of cool because their uniforms would be more space babe, 50's sci-fi themed. I might do more with this later for no reason. Until then, here are some really rough sketches.

weird sailor moon girl

weirdo. 

Moon in Ink from a Newbie

This was an experiment in seeing if I could break down Naoko's painting process... I had just started to think that my watercolours were stagnating, so I wanted to experiment with some new technique and start to incorporate them within my own. For curious parties, this is what it looks like without PS effects.

This group is so awesome! I'm so happy to be a part of it XD

Moonbunny

Sometimes you just really need to draw old school-style Sailor Moon with white odango and a cape. After a long day of painting at work, this felt gooood. :)

Chibi Chibi Moon

One of the most overly saccharine characters of the show, but I love her anyway.

Chibi Moon!

  

She's always been my favorite. I think its the pink hair and scary red eyes...

Sailr Sketch

Not sure when I'll finish this, but I'd like to.

Concerning curious applicants to the blog

Hello all! This is Zoë, and I've recently discovered that the email I set up to receive the emails of interested artists for the blog doesn't like to send me every little email! Quite troubling, but not the end of the world. I'm in the process of fixing this problem.

In the meantime however, I do want to apologize to anyone who has applied to the blog, sent art links, or any kind words that have not been met with response - I dearly appreciate all the support that this blog has received and am so sorry for the inconvenience.

Chibiest of Moons

WHY IS SHE SO FUN TO DRAW. Jeez. It is like crack. Anyway, she's pretty damn tiny here, but I think it suits her and her general aura of brattiness.

Happy New Years!!
