Sailor MOOOOOOON

I drew Sailor Moon for a warmup today. First time trying the character, it was a pretty fun time.

Very Cute! I would add a specular highlight on the eyes to make them more lively.

Wow, that is nice. Great, natural movement (not a natural pose, maybe, but the movement looks good.) Love the style, the linework, and the shape design. Love the way you've handled the skirt.

Don't like the way the end of the hair curls around her right foot, obscuring the ankle, and kinda creating a tangent. And the hair passing through the knee is suboptimal as well. I would've let it pass through a little lower on her right shin, to keep the overlap uncluttered. Hope that makes sense. Super nitpicky stuff, I know, but it's the stuff I think about, and this work is good enough to get the full-strength crits.

Thanks! Can't believe I didn't do that, I should know better. Will do.

Thanks for the input, Brandon. Great feedback, and this is the kind of stuff that really helps with where I'm at now.

Here's a revised version of the piece:

Makes me blush just looking at her, moon got some swanky moves.

Thanks, Vaas! Folks seem to like this piece, from the love it's gotten on other sites as well as here. Guess I'll quit the day job and become a Sailor Moon fan artist.
