Hey everyone!
Well, I finally took some time to work on this old fan-art piece that I started a while ago (on the side of my art-book project) and I think I will now consider it finished. I could have worked into it a lot more but I'm pretty satisfied with this result though I may change my mind and work into it again a bit later.
I was initially inspired to paint this image after recently re-discovering Sailor moon again. I used to watch it with my little cousin as a young teen and seeing it again recently brought back a ton of memories and inspiration to create this piece.
My goal for this painting was to create a sexy and more realistic depiction of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask in a steamy/sensual embrace. I wanted to maintain as much likeness as I could whilst making them look more realistic. I hope I pulled it off!
Here is a link to a previous blog post with the work-in-progress!
[link]During the process of creating this work, I made a rose petal effect brush which I decided to make available to download as a thank you to all of you other digital artists who check out my blog. When using this brush it's helpful to blur the petals a bit to create a sense of movement. This brush was created using Photoshop CS5, Enjoy!
You can download the brush through a link in my original blog post here

Update: I have received quite a few requests for more Sailor Moon fan-art and have decided to create more as I find time. If you have any ideas or suggestions as to what you'd like to see me paint next please let me know. I'd be happy to hear your ideas!
Update (9-15-12) Supposedly there will be a new Sailor Moon anime series coming in 2013. This new series is supposed to appeal to older fans. Would be nice if they would continue where they left off but I guess we will see.

Hope you all like it and thanks for your visit!
