"Sailor Staff Weapon 32" by:
In all worlds both known and obscured, desire equals power...and thus those who go further and excel are ultimately rewarded. The Labyrinth is no different, and as payment for her progress in the Spiraling Dance Of Eternal Torment Pleasure as well as her loyalty within the ranks of the Order of The Gash, Leviathan blessed Luciva with the gift of Flight..
I think...I think that I actually made the deadline for this...and here I thought I might need an extension too.
*whew*With that said, this is my FINAL ROUND entry for *DarkZephyrMoon 's "Otaku Senshi Idol" Competition, theme for the final round being "Senshi Upgrade". In SailorMoon, the senshi eventually achieve an "Ultimate Form". Otaku Senshi have a tendency to do this as well, and my "Sailor Cenobite" Luciva is no exception.
Here we have Luciva in her "Enlightened" (Enlightenment via Pain that is), which at first glance does not look that different from her usual Cenobitey self. But look closely. Not only does she obtain wings, but the skin on her back is sliced and sinued, pulled back to expose her and 'tied' to her wings (and also exposes her spinal collumn, but you can't see that from the front). She also has a crown of barbed wire, nails in both shoulders, razor claws on both fingers, new boots and new hooks, longer chains and more belts...and that's just for starters.
Also, another strange occurance is that she can remove her "Leviathan Crystal" (her equivilant to a normal Sailor Crystal/Starseed) from her body and use it as a "battery" for some of her newly upgraded attacks. The Leviathan Crystal was made using stock from The Hellbound Web as well as a Sailor Crystal Template by ~Chronomorphosis . Expect the Leviathan Crystal to appear in many future pieces.
This piece was fun, and despite all the little details, I'm STILL surprised that I got it finished so quickly.
Enjoy!

And thank you.

You are most welcome!

In the name of the moon, she has such sights to show you?
And thank you. I would be lying if I said chains were easy. I'm just glad I'm getting better at drawing them faster and more quickly.

I have to say, I've been impressed by your art and this is no exception :3. I really dig her wings as well as the design of the outfit itself <3. The effort you put in really brings your character to life

Heehee. I didn't think I would make it past the first round myselfconsidering Luciva's not only a SailorMoon fan senshi, but she's also a Hellraiser fan character. I mean, Luciva' also the 'new girl on the proverbial block' comapred to some of the other senshi to participated in OSI.
Thank you though. This contest was fun, and it gave Luciva the oportunity to evolve and grow as a character..now I see more things I could have done with her 'Enlightned Form' (like more chains on her wings and perhaps a belt full of hooks and knives), but oh well.

omg those are some bad-ass wings! i love seeing all the pics of luciva you've been drawing, sorry that i havent commented lately, but this is awesome. i really love this outfit of hers, especially the boot<3

Well, better late comments than no comments, right?
Thank you, sweety.

Man, I was so tired yesterday that I thought I have added her to my faves, and was going to comment today when my brain would be less tired.
But here I'm
I think the ultimate form of Luciva it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay awesome and she's honestly the best senshi on that contest, and it's not because ILU so much, but because it's the most original and kickass of them all. The mark in the forehead, the wings and the extra belts and cube(?) makes her look veeeeery evolved, maintaining her elegance. Well I think all of the cenobites are elegant, in their own twisted kind of way.
She's definitely going to win. You'll see.

Not to mention had out is now purplis black with red trim, yes?
And if people keep telling me she's the best, both Luciva and myself are going to both wind up with inflated egos. >.>;
The 'Cube' is the Leviathan Crystal. It's what her Sailor Crystal turned into when she was integrated into the Order of The Gash. It was also made with ~Chronomorphosis ' 'SailorCrystal' template.
Well, last I check she was ahead by three votes. Here's hoping.

Just now I noticed the pupils. I knew there was something new in her eyes, but couldn't figure it out. The best Luciva form ever (and it's not that I don't like the normal version).
By the way, how do you get the muscle tissue texture to look so natural?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But I didn't change her pupils. I really didn't. >.>;
Ah, for muscle tissue, I just ainting lines over and then smudge slightly.

LOL, I meant iris or corneas. Not very good specifying bodyparts.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, well I think I forgot to darken her 'dead eye'. >.>;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the detailing of the wings is awesome. overall, I really like her look. she seems more original than a lot of otaku senshi.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know, now that I look at her wings again, I wish I had added more chains and perhaps some meathooks hanging at the ends and maybe even some saw blades.
Thank you though. People saying she's original means alot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I dunno... I think the image has nice balance the way it is.
yw.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, this is true, but I just think I could have done more with her wings is all. ^.^;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol. well, there's always next time!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But of course. I probably won't draw this form often though. It's too much of a pain in my ass...which despite what the Cenobites say, I don't enjoy much. >.>;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol. it's so pretty though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, but I'll just stick to her 'normal form'. If I win OSI, I'll probably let Luciva take a small break.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol. I can see where that could be a good thing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, OSI was sort of a little 'Evolution Project' for her. She's probably the qwuickest to evolve of all of my characters. >.>;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hope that's a good thing!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Me too, although I usually prefer to evolve a character slowly. ^.^;

she'll always have my vote. ^_^ deliciously painful to look at.

What is it with you calling my art delicious and tasty? They's not food.
Thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, if you enjoy pain, there is a taste. ^_^ that's what is with meh. xD

The outfit is incredible !!! You certainly spent huge time on it ! I hope your work will be rewarded by the 1st place at the contest !! It deserves it !! I especially admire the wings, they are "horribly lovely" !!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. She was such a pain to draw and colour up. She really was, but she was well woth it in the end. Here's hoping she wins OSI. She is the 'new girl on the block' SailorMoon Communit wise afterall.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess so !!! (... that it was a pain to draw and colour up) but the result is here : impressive ! I cross my finger for you and Luciva =^^=
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would have liked the wings to look more mmhh ragged maybe? or more like stretched flayed flesh... hhmmm I dunno, I guess she's a sailor thingy though so she would look more sparkely clean than my personal grotty image of teh Labyrinth... hee Jazz is sure you'll win ^.^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wanted do do stretched flayed flesh, but I feared she might get comapred to Camille Noir of Tortured Souls if I had done that, so I went with something of weird bio-organic shite instead. ^.^;
Hopefully I'll win. Wild and Nemesis have a pretty big following in the SailorMoon Communities. Me and Luciva are 'new girls' it would seem.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
eh O.O; Jazz doesn't know who that is T.T Everything has been done before, I say JUST DO IT!
yeah but I still like to believe you shouls be able to win on creativity not fan following and your's is clearly SUPIERIOUR
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She's one of the character from the second 'Tortures Souls' toyline. She's kind of an 'Angel of Pain' if you will with her skin pulled back from her spine and stretches over a metal frame to look like wingies. >.>;

Oooooooooooh... mebbe they are wingaling sisters XD, like when a plastic surgeon gives everyone the same nose... maybe the Engineer is a sucker for strechy skin wings and likes to put them on all his HOT BITCHES!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol. That seems possible. Maybe that's the REAL reason why all the cenibitz is bald. XD
UI had a weird dream last night that the movie Engineer collected nipples. >.>;
