Description EDIT - By great suggestions, touched up Wicked Lady's face and hair.


Yay! Finally done, Jessica! XD My friend, *upload-image-here requested fanart of the Sailor Moon Villains Queen Nehelenia and Black Lady (Wicked Lady) because I wanted to make her some going-away friend art/art trade Drawing these two is such a great fanart idea! Thanks Jessica!
A few months later --- after adding on to it again and again.... I think it's finally done :3 Sorry for such a long wait! ^__^;; I make requests harder to finish, but ultimately much more fun for myself. Hehe I make all my friends wait too long for art presents... I'm sorry!! (Lazy)
And again, this art would not be possible without the wonder of Mikey THANK YOU MIKEY!!
I hope you like the finished product Jessica! XD And NO YOU DON'T OWE ME ANYTHING! (you made this really fun for me) FRIEND LOVE!

OH! I almost forgot the description... Since both these villains make drastic decisions to go bad when they are "children," and then get the chance to revert back to children after facing Sailor Moon and the gang, I wanted to comment on the three stages they go through.
It made me a little mad that they could go back like nothing happened - you can't make changes like that in real life. But they must have been really sad as children to do what they did (hence the crying versions at either end of the art). I don't think they really cared about being villains - they just wanted to be loved. It was insecurity - being human. Yeah, they were glamourous and awesome villains with all that power (seen in the center) but what is left after you get everything you want? After you destroy everyone who opposes you?
That old lonely self, even all-powerful or forever beautiful, isn't worth anything in the end (Hence the lone portraits in lighter purple).

I know, I know... I think to much with fanart.... sorry. It makes me happy.

characters c. Naoko Takeuchi/Toei and junks.

vengefulkiwi [2007-12-16 07:09:47 +0000 UTC]

Oooo -- yeah, it looks much less cluttered without the strand in her face. You can actually see her expression much better; and I must say it is deliciously malicious.
I don't think I noticed how much detail there was to her before. The earrings are amazing, the matching necklace and bracelets (which I think are not bracelets, but sleeve cuffs?) and her fingers are so claw-like...
This time I have but on complaint which is your amazing art is too small T.T I can't get the most out of all the details! Of course, this is the pot calling the kettle black, as I do tiny art too... But I'm not on trial here, you are! Objection! Overruled! Time for dinner!

ChibiSofa In reply to vengefulkiwi [2007-12-16 08:26:33 +0000 UTC]

hehe this is not really tiny at all - it's like almost 3000 pixels wide I think! well, the original is... I just don't usually post full size becuase it makes it even easier for art thieves to do whatever they want with it... I can totally send you a larger version like I did Jessica I go do that
I worked on her face and eyes more and outlined her earrings again MIKEY IS SO NICE TO ME

Okay, I'm glad the original is huge. Good enough to just know. Yeah, stupid art theives. It's a good thing you have a pretty distinct art style.

Anytimes you wanna a bigger version you just say the word Mikey ^____^ You really think my style is distinct? I keep thinking every piece I make is dif in style from the last and then I wonder if I have a style at all yet.... v.v But thank you I guess I am getting on

vengefulkiwi In reply to ChibiSofa [2007-12-18 10:35:47 +0000 UTC]

Well, not to try to tie you down, but your art is light and flowy, often with a purposeful sketchiness that makes it very distinctly you. More and more lately there's also a matter of color choice that's very ChibiSofa-Unique (at least of the artists I know/see). It's very cool.

ooooooh, that sounds neat! (Makes me feel all professional and uppercrust artist-y) Thank you for telling me I keep looking at my main page and seeing I am using a lot of purple in the latest stuff... hehe purple is cool, but it's not at all my fave color. I guess I just have something for digital purple? I know Mikey likes purple

Hehhe the tablet really makes a difference huh it's because it lets me "paint" and I ususally don't have the patience for that in reality (can't wait for paint to dry/don't have enough colors).... I really hope you can get one some day! :hopeful: XD I totally understand yo envy (*I'm envious of you too ) XD HGey, you liked Sailor Moon way back when right? You should do some fanart some time

Dude. Seriously. This is freaking fantastic. I love it.

I agree with the comments about the hair strand and green line work for Wicked Lady, but those are minor to me. Oh my goodness gracious I seriously love this so much.

The characters are very beautiful in the original style and they're still beautiful in your style too! And I like the fact that their breasts and clothes look real. Excellent job with the composition and the meaning behind the image. Gorgeous new wallpaper for my Mac.

THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY SERIOUSLY! major happy dancing. Since you agree about that strand of hair and green lines around Black Lady I might edit them a little further, and then send it to you again But it was up to how you felt about it. It's something for me to do anyway hehe avoiding other projects....
heheh I know about the breasts and dresses - I was obsessed with making them all look realistic and not just anime-ish... I feel creepy for focusing on their bodies so much, but I'm really surprised by how nicely they were rendered! Such is artist obsession, yes..?
Thank you for making this piece possible!! I would never have thought of it on my own!
