Description Done with Watercolor, colored pencil, colored lead, and acrylic paint.

So the last "official" Sailor Moon and Austen cross over painting is done! For this picture, I paired Ami and Zoicite together with the Jane Austen Novel, "Mansfield Park".

This picture was one of those projects that next to everything had to be a problem. So I finished it up the best I could and just decided to call it done. For now I am going to say that, I am not good at drawing straight lines, or interior settings. I am working on it, but it really is one of my major weakpoints. If you dont get what I mean, look at the tipping bookshelf to the right of Ami, and the askew painting on the wall. *hides face in shame* Not to mention.... I did not add titles on the books. WHO CARES ABOUT BOOK TITLES?!?! XD

The things I did like about this picture was that I could add Luna and Artemis in. I've noticed too often that the moon kitties dont get enough love with fanart as much as the main characters. In my mind for this picture, Luna is the daughter of Ami and Zoicite, but Artemis is the son of Minako and Kunzite (thus babysitting). I would have put Artemis with Minako and Kunzite, except....there wasnt much room to put him in, would have off balanced the picture, and....would have made him look left out (between his parents giving eachother soft looks and such).

In the future for this project, I would like to showcase the outer senshi and possibly Luna and Artemis as a couple when they are older. It's gonna be on the backburner for now, because I have other projects to get to.... le sigh...

I think my favorite thing about this series has been how you reinterpret the senshi's princess dresses to fit the era of Jane Austen's books. You do an amazing job of keeping the main elements of each dress while making it more modest, yet elegant, to fit in with the theme. I for one would love to see your sketches while coming up with the dress designs if you'd be willing to share them :]

Well, the original senshi dresses are already in a Regency (a.ka. high waistline) type of style, so it really wasnt that difficult to alter the designs to a Jane Austen style. ^^

TBH, I dont really do sketches prior to. I occasionally do thumbnail sketches for poses that are giving me trouble, but when I "design" clothes is more of a form of light doodling. If I like the doodle dress, it stays. If I dont like it, it gets erased or covered up with something else.  Granted, I do take pictures of my projects in progress, but I'm not sure what I did with most of the regency senshi project pictures (or I would share them). My image reference library has become a catchall these days. D:

I guess I meant to say I love the little details you added to the dresses since the originals were pretty simplistic, yet still beautiful and elegant. Since all the princess dresses have thin straps, the sleeves you added (even if it might seem insignificant) really pair well with the setting of each art piece (from formal to casual) and I think you did a great job. The embroidery detailing of some dresses, like Minako and Hotaru's, are also beautifully done.

Just wanted to remind how awesome your art is and that it's greatly appreciated among fans of Sailor Moon :]

Do you not read the blurb under the picture? I said

 "In the future for this project, I would like to showcase the outer senshi and possibly Luna and Artemis as a couple when they are older. It's gonna be on the backburner for now, because I have other projects to get to.... le sigh... "

I'm hoping to get to it, but it's not a huge priority. XD

I skimmed through it, but I didn't see the word 'Outers', probably 'cause the word I was looking for a capital 'O'... 

I hope you get time soon and do well with your other projects, too.

Note to self: Capitalize ALL names. XD

Thanks! I hope I get to all my other projects (and do them well) too.

Hows life going for you?

Had an ear infection.  And a blood test for diabetes, 'cos since my dad has type1, the chances increase that I might also...

Awh! I'm sorry to hear that (btw also sorry about VERY late response!)... I hope you don't have Diabetes.... D:

In my family there is both Hypoglicemia and Diabetes. My Dad and my Maternal Grandmother have it, so hopefully if I take good care of myself (less excess sugars) maybe I can skip that disease. XD

I have to call them tomorrow for the results from my blood test to find out. 

So, how are you?  And how's your latest yet-to-post coming?

I'll keep my fingers crossed for no Diabetus!

I'm good. Tired mostly due to gardening/mowing/cleaning work. Diet is going fairly well. So far lost 6 pounds and few inches in a couple places. Still have a long way to go though, but I'll stick to it and hopefully I'll be halfway to my goal (or more...would be nice).

Art wise, I have two projects that are close to completion: Princess Mercury and Kousagi are in the final stretch of the water coloring stage. However both pictures will require some tweaking with acrylic and colored pencil to fix some of the mistakes. Not sure when they will be uploaded....

Well, I hope it all works out.  Good luck (fingers-crossed). 

How is Ninja-Kitty? 

P.S.:  I'd asked a while back but didn't get a response:  What do you think of "Ginzuishou Kaleidoscope" as an idea for a GIF ( moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co… )?

DelightInArt In reply to Moon-Shadow-1985 [2015-06-08 01:52:21 +0000 UTC]

Ninja kitty is good. She's much healthier than what she was and is the "princess" of the farm. Meaning she claims hierarchy over all the other farm kitties. She recently had her 1st birthday.

I lose track of all the comments I need to respond to. D:
I went ahead and made up a gif. Is this what you were thinking?

Yeah that's about right, although it was to be a choice of for different ones I wanted to get your thoughts on: 
* Version 1:  moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co… & moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co… & moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co… & moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co…
* Version 2:  moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co… & moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co… & moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co… & moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co…
* Version 3:  moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co… & moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co… & moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co… & moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co…
* Version 4:  moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co… & moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co… & moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co… & moon-shadow-1985.deviantart.co…

I thought that you might have felt that one GIF made with 16 shots might be a bit much, so I thought you might have liked a selection to choose from.  They do make for a good 'tumbling Ginzuishou' effect.  I also wondered about colour effects, too.
