Description Whee! Enkai has compy back. ^^

My entry for Sakky-chan's contest. It's supposed to be a princess dress design for Sailor Astera's dark form.

It's supposed to make a bunch of direct references to the princess forms of the other senshi. I figured that since they're from the same universe, and Astera has a similar fuku, there should be some references. I also tried to draw inspiration from Serenity's dress--the sheer skirt, detatched poof sleeves, a-line lined with beads, triple bead barrettes in hair--since Astera does have a bit of that moon thing going. However, it all has a distinctly dark Astera flair--mainly it's revealing/seductive. Considering her personality, I couldn't picture her in anything but.

The design is supposed to be more on the elaborate side; not sure how successful I was with that, since I do tend to run simpler with outfits, but I tried. The lighter purple parts are supposed to have black embroidery on them.

Hair came out kinda crappy; my black was having a bit of a bleed problem on me. Oh well.

Art is mine
Sailor Astera is Sakky's
Sailor Moon, etc. is Naoko's

What's holding up the top? XD

This is beautiful. Period. You put alot of effort into those light purple squiggle things. I laughed when I saw her expression, it shows alot of personality. o.O I'm so dead. Deaddeaddead. XD

Tape! Same stuff that holds up the skimpy dresses celebrities wear (I'm serious there). Or I could stand by previous statements and say that it's anime--gravity doesn't apply. XP

Thanks though. I'm glad the personality shows through; that's what I was going for.

Personally I think this is a really really cool drawing!!!! I love how you did the translucent effect of her dress at the bottom. It's quite wonderful and it's really inventive too! The sandals as a dress shoe are a great touch. Great work!
