Another entry for ~vbabe1 's Sailor Moon Redesign Contest [link] . The super gorgeous and uber talented Sailor Neptune!

Notes On The Series:

I've always thought that Sailor Moon, particularly the anime, suffered from a bit of schizophrenia. It goes from cringe-inducing Japanese prat humor (at least, it induces cringes in me - I don't get Japanese prat humor) and high school drama to death, suicide, death, murder, and death, with a side order of death. There are two problems with this, in my opinion: first, that's too big a swing, and second, you can't get too serious with those outfits they wear. You just can't. They've got giant bows and sailor collars, for Christ's sake. There are two ways to tackle this - either you take out everything sailor related, amp up the death and destruction, and basically go all Shamanic Princess on the series' ass, or you amp up the funny and high school drama, throw in some more cheek, wit, and couture, and basically go all Clueless on the series' ass. I decided to go with the second route, because it just seems to fit a lot better. So keeping that in mind, and also keeping in mind my love for all things gothic and Victorian, I decided to redesign the senshi to fit what the series might look like with a more Clueless-esque plot and Tim Burton-esque visuals. The actual fukus the senshi wear aren't very stylish, but they do have one extremely good point, which is that because they have a femenine cut but aren't overly frilly, they can be pulled off by someone femenine, like Minako, or by someone butch, like Haruka. When designing my outfits, I attempted to keep that aspect and add some gothy chic. The dress I used as a base is a style that was worn by children in the late Victorian period, from about 1890 - 1905. I threw in a few military embellishments to tone down the cute.

Notes On This Design:

As you can see, I've changed her curls to make them different from Setsuna's. I think the result is very Michiru. Also, you might find the pendant on her collar a little weird. It'll make more sense when I put Uranus up. As for the gloves, I decided to make them different in order to mimic her atypical gloves in the series, and since there's so little glove to work with, the only thing I could think of was going fingerless. I think it works! also notice the redesign of the mirror - it has a mermaid. I like mermaids.
