This is a fanart illustration I made of Usagi (aka Serena)
and her loyal cat companion, Luna.
One of the most touching moments from this series
occurs in the Sailor Moon S Movie "Hearts In Ice"
where Usagi comforts Luna, after Luna breaks down,
after experiencing heartache for the first time.
I think it was scenes like this, that showed the warm friendship
between pet and owner, that made me a fan of Sailor Moon,
and inspired me to create this piece.
This drawing, is done in 'cel' style.
Which mimics the look of a painted animation celluloid,
usually made up of a 1-3 step, hard edged shadow layer
and a 1-2 step lighting layer
overlaying the base colouring.
My linework's a bit over detailed, but that's how I like it :)
Despite it being a shoujo anime, and unappreciated by some,
Sailor Moon had some classic qualities.
The art style had a very distinct look,
expecially the way they used water colour
to create those wonderful lush settings.
And the character designs were iconic
...not just visually, but conceptually as well.
Even though many fans love the original language track,
I actually preferred watching the show dubbed in English.
Blasphemy - I know :)
Soundtrack wise, the Japanese version had some excellent songs.
My personal favourites are "Overture: Fantasy" and "Finale: Desire",
two unbelievably amazing scores,
which I hope to pair with a new Sailor Moon fanart someday.
I hope you've enjoyed this video.
