And now, my Sailor Moon Series, Volume 1!

I wanted to do a series like this for the longest time! And this didn’t come easy… many of these, thanks to scheduling conflicts and overall complications, were done last-minute… :x

Also, fun fact: I only had one Sailor Neptune costume, fitted for me… and I’m not dainty. This costume was clipped to fit each model, then re-colored meticulously in Photoshop. FUN!

Also, I’m sure I’ll get some flack from hardcore fans about some of the left-side portraits… thanks to time and location constraints, creative liberties had to be taken. I tried to preserve the character as best as I could.
