A labor of love Long awaited fanart of characters from the manga and anime, Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon.

The original idea behind this drawing of teenage Chibi Usa and friends started all the way back when I was in high school (2001-ish)! It can be seen here: img17.imageshack.us/img17/7199… .
Back then I had just started drawing on my first professional grade creme-colored drawing paper pad. Reading the manga, I loved that the Amazon Quartet and Sailor Saturn would be Sailor Chibi Moon's future team so I set out to draw them as friends together. I even ended up designing some cool clothes for them, but the drawing was never completely colored nor up to my standards. It was left to gather dust as I pursued better fanarts.

Well, after staring at the drawing for awhile months back I decided I would try again, this time all digitally (thank you Mikey!!) and make some really worthwhile designs! This also ended up being a kind of celebration and thank you for over 25,000 pageviews here on deviantART Thank you all so much! DeviantART is the BEST!!

Characters:From the top left to right are Diana (in her human form!), Chibi Usa (Sailor Chibi Moon) , Hotaru (Sailor Saturn), Jun Jun (Sailor Juno); from the bottom left to right are Ves Ves (Sailor Vesta), Momo (Chibi Usa's friend all the way back from elementary school), Chibi Chibi (who I decided would get a second chance at life in the Neo Crystal Tokyo), Palla Palla (Sailor Pallas), and Cere Cere (Sailor Ceres).

Original Designs: Oye, I put so much fangirl thought into this one! I also designed every piece of clothing and jewelry, some based on the original character designs and others purely from scratch. I also made my own interpretations on the hair designs. The motif that I emphasized for each costume was "crossing lines," as in fishnet, crossing and threaded ribbons, V-neck collars, lace, checkerboard plaid, bows, braids, chains, and overlapping articles. So much fun to create!

I'd like to make Diana's outfit as cosplay someday. She'd jingle where ever she went. I originally intended Chibi Usa to be wearing a high school fuku, but then designed one that might be worn as a ceremonial costume for diplomatic duties (she is the princess of the universe after all). Though not as necessary in a future of peace, sailor fuku would still be revered. I wanted something sexy and mature for Hotaru so I combined a halter top with two over lapping corset designs. Juno was really hard to design for because I had to think up more on the motif theme, but based on her amazon costume, she'd probably want to show some of skin. I added some classy elements though.

Ves Ves had a foxy and confident street punk style in my eyes so I gave her a tube-like top with baggy pants and ribbons. Her hair design became my favorite. I felt Chibi Usa would make friends again with Momo even though it would be a new beginning because true friends are meant to be no matter what! Momo always wore Chinese dresses to school in the manga so I created something futuristic for her. I didn't want Chibi Chibi to disappear in the 30th century, so I thought she'd get a second chance to live and maybe help the Queen keep an eye out for things. I gave her a cute fuku. Palla Palla, the smallest girl except for Chibi Chibi, was also really hard to design for. She was the last to be finished and gave me a hard time. Shiny biker shorts! Cere Cere always seemed flashy so I gave her a fun gown.

Sooo... mission completed! Thank you for reading! Original characters belong to Naoko Takeuchi, Kodansha, and Toei. Fan art and clothing designs belong to me. Please to do not copy, use, or edit this image without permission. Thank you!

As a HUGE fan of this manga and anime I'm going to suggest some things out of interest. The girls are VERY well done. The care to shadow the artwork and add such detail is such an amazing thing! It looks very completed and well drawn. Each girl such well proportioned bodies. It's hard to tell that this was just fan made compared to the actual posters and artworks done by the origanal creator Naoko Takeuchi.

My knowledge of this anime and manga has become quite vague. I wonder if each girl has an actual sailor scout outfit. I'm just wondering if the girls here are suppose to look like they are wearing just regular very made clothes or if the scout outfit is different from the way they look here. The clothes shown here are very unique and makes me wihsh I had what they're wearing too.

Over all the shadowing, body proportions and over all image is done VERY well.

My first critique ever on deviantART! You've given me a very precious gift, thank you so much cutechong!! You are far too kind in the ratings! I need to work on some of the proportions like with Palla Palla (blue hair lower right) because I failed to notice her lower half is too small for the upper half. But thank you so much!

I'm so happy to see Momo too. She needs more love

Thank you!! I am actually slowly redoing this art with all new designs and poses and I was wondering if I should include Momo this time around...

Leaf-nin In reply to ChibiSofa [2012-08-02 20:25:47 +0000 UTC]

I think you should. Momo's pretty cool and I'd imagine she'd be long-time friends with Chibiusa, just like Naru is with Usagi.
