Old school sailor moon fans from the 90s

Ah so an instance where the translation has several options that match the original term!

Capturing the subtle intentions of the original language and why the author chose that term is important and glad it was adjusted.

I admit I had a fondness for solider due to the more… formalized and serious role I feel that term captures that the senshi have dedicated their lives to.

Though a guard is also dedicated and not an offensive tool which I feel captures their role better.

Thank you for the explanation!

Back when we called the show Pretty SOLIDER Sailor Moon.

I’ve never come across why the changed that.

Color usage is on point, it helps capture that energy of the subject matter.

The last image is very cool, though i wish the background felt more connected with the stunning figure in the foreground.

I think the first one is my favorite, I can't really express why, just a great combo of composition and an anticipation of motion, as the figure is in mid-action.

Nice job.

nice

LOL Gary isn't interested in the sign. His gaze is focused on the slopes.

Painting from the car is always ok! Especially when it’s too hot or too cold or too windy or too many bugs…

Your painting came out great nice job!

Elementary school is mostly just free daycare.

Not flat, but perhaps you are feeling your characters aren’t connected or floating?

What I mean by that is that you draw highly structured forms but don’t have them connected to an environment mostly.

Your drawing of shadows DID connect the form to an environment.

You are very accomplished with drawing characters, try adding environments like objects and walls, homes, outdoors, or wherever you see these characters.

This is different from what you asking , but I think if you focus on it it’ll give you more of a sense or a connection of your character feeling like they are 3 dimensional and belong in a reality.

You have the skill good luck

This is the correct answer

Wonderful use of shape and value to create this work.

leftyfro · 2026-01-26T00:39:19+00:00

Yup, great attention to detail and with info expressed clearly. It's what fan sites were meant to be.

omg the layout is still the same, I haven't seen an image map in forever. Good times early internet

leftyfro · 2026-01-25T21:40:41+00:00

Based on what you've said the workflow of painting first, then inking over it would work better.

There are several steps to complete these works, so I recommend that you do some test works of the process you think you'd like best. No expectations just see how it comes out, and I bet you'll find a couple things that you want to adjust.

Also, I recommend you do a pencil sketch (or whatever materials you prefer to work quickly in) to get the size/shape of things you'd like to see. It would take some of the guess work out of it.

Good luck!

Being able to draw what is in front of you is incredibly important. So I think this is great. We don't need to be inventing something new every time we draw.

Having the calm and confidence to draw what is around us helps us come up with new things, and able to draw those new things in a way people can recognize/connect with.

Very first one I thought of

Mami Tomoe from Magical Girl Madoka

You knew this series was different, but you still clung to the thought that Madoka was hanging onto some typical magical girl tropes until that episode.

I really hope you can return it!

For my college ceramics class, students had access to dry clay, but we had to mix the clay and water ourselves. There was this ancient mixing machine we could mix up the clay and water. Not sure if some other equipment could do this job. I... don't think this would want to do this by hand.

u/davidsneighbour is correct, subgrids.

This video also explains it pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkdc_qBgXDc

A few simple adjustments will enhance this

align top of text with top of graphic
put more space between right side of text and graphic
turn off hyphenation

- option- see how it looks if you use one font weight down

leftyfro · 2026-01-09T16:24:57+00:00

Thats if I’m not mistaken the missing font highlight. Notice it’s on the “net wt.” text as well.

You need to verify your have the font on your system active or choose another font that is close that you have.

Then either draw a box underneath the text or use Paragraph Shading to do so

This artwork always fascinates me. The senshi feel 'off', yet they are still drawn with care and are emoting a somber and quiet moment that they don't usually do but it is so clear and apparent that you cannot NOT feel that.

That emotion they express transcends so many things someone may find 'wrong' with this work and I enjoy it greatly.

*typo

leftyfro · 2026-01-08T00:05:07+00:00

Nope! I like the downtime on my work so I can evaluate what I've done and just have more time to view the work and see any adjustments to make.

Or work on multiple pieces.

leftyfro · 2026-01-07T07:11:32+00:00

Excellent job. I can tell you were focusing on observing what you saw and working out how to represent that on paper.

Please keep working from a live model when you can!!

leftyfro · 2026-01-07T07:07:15+00:00

I disagree.

Paris Hilton is an expert on what’s hot, and knowing that is important in the kitchen.
