Description Here's a "one-of-a-kind" picture I drew of Minako/Mina Aino (aka Sailor Venus), dressed up as Sailor Moon.

This artpiece is an inspiration to that very moment from "Sailor Moon S" (third season), Episode 102... where Usagi/Serena was trapped by Kaorinite and couldn't transform into Sailor Moon, then Minako-chan disguised herself as Sailor Moon, simply by using Usagi's Diguise Pen (as it is mentioned here: [link] isguise_pen).

I've always loved watching that adorable moment, and I find it to be very cute & funny... ever since I've watched it on television (from back when "Sailor Moon" was airing on Toonami), and even owned the "Sailor Moon S: Birthday Blues" VHS Tape [link] (that contained that episode).

I've always wanted to try drawing something like this, and am very glad that I have done so now... however, I find Minako to look pretty cute in pigtails & odangos. ^_^

I'm very happy of how this came out. I hope you'll like it, everybody!

Drawn on White Printing Paper, with a No. 2 pencil (and in my own traditional art style), fixed, cleaned-up, colored & shaded by using Adobe PhotoDeluxe Home Edtion 3.0., and finalized on MS Paint (for thin boarder, colored bubbles, and artists' signature). The background was made on Adobe Photoshop CS3 and added on by using Adobe PhotoDeluxe Home Edtion 3.0. The shine effects were added on by using Adobe Photoshop CS3.

You bet, and I do, and it was interesting to note that the styles of their bangs were slightly different.

OMG I love that episode! I love your work, as always. It totally captures Minako-chan's cuteness in pigtails. And I always thought she looked like Usagi anyway!

Sweet-Blessings In reply to xhatingalicex [2010-01-21 01:45:15 +0000 UTC]

I do too, it's one of my all-time favorites!

I'm so glad you enjoy the artwork I create & submit, all your comments & support mean so much to me... thank you kindly, my friend. I'll keep up with everything I do to make others feel happy & pleased.

I agree that Minako-chan does look like Usagi in some certain ways... especially that they are both blonde, they each have their own feline guardians (Usagi has Luna, while Minako has Artemis), and I find them both to be adorable, fun-loving characters.
