this was simply for visual design, not behavioral or 'internal' character design - I didn't mean to offend the fandom or their creator.  The sailor moon characters vary hugely in personalities and that's not what my point was, sorry for the huff.

Definitely one of the more entertaining tutorials, and very efficient. I'll be sure to look over this when I can manage to get up off my ass and draw something. :>
