"Sailor Staff Weapon 8" by

HOLY CRAP I WON FIRST PLACE!

I finally got this done, and just in time too since I've been busy planning for school as well as suffering from infected wisdom teeth.
My mom says she looks like She-Ra.

Anyway, this is for DracheaRannak's "Sailor Sun and Sailor Earth Contest" here on DA. She is SailorSolInvictus ("Unconquered Sun)", an aeons old Guardian of the Solar System and my equivaliant of the usual "SailorSun" (which I'm sure EVERY person who ever created otaku senshi has made a SailorSun/Sol at some point), and she will only awaken when the Universe is in grave danger.
She came out a little shorter than I oroginally intended, but then again the Sun IS a Yellow Dwarf so that's my excuse.

I was inspired by several things when I designed her: Feliane 's "Summer" piece (for the "Sun Ray" part of the headgear) and Romanesque style armour (since I saw OpalLynn do some similarly designed senshi fukus awhile ago). Also, I saw a painting by Dorian Cleavenger awhile back (I think it was titled "Planet Keeper") which inspired me to give SailorSolInvictus a staff.

Needless to say, I had a lot of fun with this one. Enjoy!

Thank you so much. I'm listening to "Sonne write now. Darchea's design has me in awe as well as ainspired to redraw the gal now since this design is a tad dated.

Holy crap. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I like the creative liberties you took with her design *will definitely be using those whenever I get to redraw her* and you made her look even more kick ass then I did. Wow.

This is a really cool variation on the traditional fuku! The Roman spin is really interesting.

Thank you so much. I actually got the idea for the Roman fuku from *OpalLynn 's senshi designs though.

Wow! Her armor is so full of details, you sure spent some time on this piece, it reminds me of roman armors.
I also liked the staff.

HotaruThodt In reply to YamiHolopainen [2009-06-17 18:48:18 +0000 UTC]

Heehee...well it's based on Greco-Roman armour whuile her staff was inspired by a Dorian Celavenger painting. I'm glad you like her.

she looks like a gorgeous drag queen! the armor is AMAZING... and overall, I just really love her, but the lines and shading of the bust region of the armor plate are such that I thought sure she was a he until I was scrolling past comments.

HotaruThodt In reply to girl-withagun [2009-05-31 03:12:21 +0000 UTC]

Well, she's supposed to have sort of a small chest, and her bust armour is pretty thick. Besides, she HAS to be a chick. Men cannot be Sailor senshi...at least not in Takeuchi's canon anyway.
Thanks.

girl-withagun In reply to HotaruThodt [2009-05-31 18:51:49 +0000 UTC]

I think too the Invictus part of the name made me think that as well, since us endings in Latin belong to the male nouns and adjectives, whereas a endings tend to belong to female nouns.

*nods* I guess I was thinking about the Sailor Stars, though I know they were originally women... but I guess I assumed that meant senshi could be whatever sex they needed to be.

HotaruThodt In reply to girl-withagun [2009-05-31 19:02:01 +0000 UTC]

Ah yeah. That;s true. I just found the name under 'Sun Gods' on Wikipedia and thought it sounded cool. I was going to call her 'SailorSolaria', but I found like five other SailorSolarias here on DA alone, and I don't really like using senshi names that have been used too many times...Gemini being trhe onyl exception. ^.^;

Well, in the manga, the SailorStarlight were merely crossdressers. Naoko didn't like it much when the people behind the anaime made them gender-flexible. ^.^;

girl-withagun In reply to HotaruThodt [2009-06-03 02:29:11 +0000 UTC]

it does indeed sounds very cool. yeah, I hate having characters with popular names.

I thought I read in the art books that they took the form of men on earth because men have a better sense of smell, and they needed it to find Kakyuu? It's been a long time.
