Awesome and confused

[secondlina]

So, let's start with the artness!

I drew a picture of Princess Serenity and Sailor Venus looking badass. Well, Venus looks badass anyways. She looks a bit too... butch-ish. But I kinda wanted her to looked bigger and stronger then in other fanarts (I Xena-fied her or something). Plus, in their past lives, she and the other senshi are a bit older then the princess, which might explain the height difference. Anyways. It's not the great art, but I do love it so...







In other news, oh god oh god, why is there so much crap on my computer? I'm slowly trying to re-build my online porfolio. It's hard to find images and decide which ones to take. I'm also in a bit of a pickle, since I seen to be lacking recent "original" art I can use. Lately, I seen to be drawing a lot of fanart or comic pages. I don't seem to be taking the time to draw original non-comic-formatted things. I really should get on that. My portfolio needs more originals...

Maybe fairy tale stuff? and some pretty ladies?

So for the next few weeks, I might be focusing on drawing some cool, non-fandom related things! If you have suggestions, let me know!

It's crazy cold today. I wish I was home in my warm bed...

I am a huge fan of your Sailor Venus. This makes me want to ship them - but only this way. I'm surprised that Sailor Venus isn't seen as more independent, since it's canon that she was fighting evil far longer than Sailor Moon ever was.

OMG that's beautiful! I love how you've drawn Venus. I can't wait to fave this over at DA. :)

Suggestion:

Maybe it's me still being in my "drawing winter spirits nao brb" thing but this was the first thing I thought of.
What about something based on "The Snow Queen?" OR to get your mind off the cold, some Hawaaian fairytale art? Or Pele...don't get much hotter than a volcano goddess!

Awesome fanarts m'dear! I'm not familiar with the Sailor Moon fandom, so I don't know how the characters are meant to be portrayed, but you do drawn them prettily.

As for original stuff, I suggest (humbly) more fantasy stuff, like unicorns and elves and fairies and the like. I think you would do them very well and I would love to see how you portray the different aspects of the Fae world.

Gorgeous piece.

I'd suggest drawing fairy tales; they're a good basis for most art, and you can play around it with them, going from traditional fantasy settings to contemporary to sci fi.

Love the Venus art! The colours and inking are very eye catching.

I think doing fairytales is a good idea, but why not try drawing each class of a typical fairytale character. Example, having to draw a fairy godmother, a wizard, a thief, a princess, a knight etc. Or you can try drawing different kinds of fairies.

The detail on the inside of her cloak is amazing. So, so pretty. :D

BEAUTIFULLL~

[elirrina.livejournal.com]

Pretty!

I still vote for Vasilisa and Baba Yaga's house on chicken feet! (Too bad I shifted out my appropriate icon...)

[darksyx.livejournal.com]

Awesome drawing. I love the colours of Venus' hair, and the cape, it gives her a roguish style.

I would Love to have something like this a wall poster,its just sooo cute

[putri-nih.livejournal.com]

Ohh man...I need more orginal stuff too. Lately my style feels so derivative><

Suggestions from me would be trying to draw something you've never thought before like....

Manchurian China perhaps? Asian fairy tales?

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

Not pretty ladies, ACTION ladies!

And I absolutely LOVE that art of Venus and Serenity. +_______+
I ship it.

Venus does look awesome here! Maybe she finally regains her status as lead sailor scout in Crystal Tokyo.

Do you have any mermaids in your portfolio? Ones that maybe look a little less human or have flashy tails or fins everywhere? Or even a reverse mermaid? XD

I've been thinking about looking up/drawing/etc something like this for a while.

Or maybe it's too common. -_-;

Yeah, one of the silly reasons I really try to avoid fanart. Aside from not doing characters justice, I didn't want to fall into the trap of only making fanart, and nothing original. Not to say I draw much anyway, but hey! Details... (Games like D&D are great for creating original character fodder though!)

Seeing that picture made me think of a card I have somewhere of Mina and Serena looking too much alike, and downright cute. Sometimes, I almost miss that show, but only sometimes. ^_^;

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

Fairy tale stuff is always fun, or maybe a god theme from different mythology? Spice it up a bit? :) I do love the above pic. We need more strong females out there! XD

[elle-white.livejournal.com]

I love your drawing! It's very badass! I love Sailor Venus. This makes me ship them a little!

[pinkwa.livejournal.com]

good luck for your porfolio !

[psychosongtress.livejournal.com]

They all look amazing!

[brendala.livejournal.com]

*SQUEE* I love that picture of Sailor Venus and Princess Serenity! The inside of the cloak is really cool.
My favorite scout was always Haruka/Uranus (I even went out of my way to look like her). Good times. ^_^


I have a good idea for original portfolio art. Draw caricatures of people you know! It'll be like stealth fanart! ~_^

[jason-register.livejournal.com]

I like this, she emanates protection.

[merc16.livejournal.com]

That pic's pretty kickass!

I love this art piece so much. It screams Silver Millennium Venus, who I adore to pieces. I am still living and breathing Silver Millennium Sailor Moon stuff. This is what happens when you run a Shitennou & 4 guardian scouts SM tumblr, then take on Jadeite for a Tumblr RP.
The details on the inside of the cloak combined with the circle of starry sky really make for a excellent pattern balance against the rest of the piece and really add to it. The expressions are just... OMG the expressions. I just want to print this out and hang it in my cubicle.
(The inclusion of the moon sword always makes me squee.)

For your portfolio, I'd definitely go fairy tales. A lot of creative potential.
