Artist's commentary
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon S
Hello! Sailor Moon has been really really important in my childhood tying together passions for art, story, girl power, and best friends. I had been holding back on doing a piece about the series, because you know, any time you feel very strongly about something...a strange perfectionist OCD personality takes over and you're anxious about every stroke you lay down.
I dedicate this to my best friend who watched almost 5 seasons of SM back in the 90s. That was a time where the only option other than 6 am Saturday Cartoons or mailing in checks for ghetto Fandub VHS'. LOL We were so young, we ended up mailing cash (not knowing it was not legal at the time) and getting raw Sailor Stars episodes but it was all fun and worth it in the end haha.
S is my favorite season! With the inclusion of the outer scouts, the Crisis Make Up, and the entire Mistress 9 arc, I was in love. Though I admit I found the animation beautiful in Super S and Stars (more stars...haha oh supers..)
So I hope you all enjoy this piece as much as I enjoyed working on it!
