SAILORMOON © NAOKO TAKEUCHI

I never thought I would ever make a SailorMoon fanart, since I don’t really like that series – it’s childish, pointless and incredibly sexist. Fortunately, I don’t remember too many things about that series so far, but I read “Sailor V” and I swear I regretted every euro spent on it I had never read so many stupid sentences about what being a girl is or what girls supposedly must like and do and feel and… everything!
But this drawing is not about SailorMoon but about Usagi Tsukino, its main character. Its main and forgotten character.

Because Usagi Tsukino (literally ”white rabbit of the moon” as the title of the drawing reads, beyond the horrible names she’s been given, like Bunny or even Sabrina) is the one and only Sailor Moon, the true heart of the whole story. However, since I joined DA I’ve met tones of fans of SailorMoon and I’ve realized most of those fans have two main crushes:
Designing the most glaring senshi fuku ever. Never-ending ribbons, sparkling brooches, impossible skirts... There’s supposed to be a girl behind all those fetish items, but who cares? Usagi is not her only victim, but still 90% of the Usagi drawings I’ve seen are focused on her clothes. But she’s supposed to be a girl, a person, with feelings and dreams. Maybe she only has two neurons immersed in a love-hate relationship and her only dreams are eating a lot and playing videogames, but it doesn’t mean she’s just an empty doll.
Imagining the most pointless related story/character. Sisters, twins, daughters, granddaughters, grandmothers, great-grandmothers... If we took into account each and every SailorMoon OC, Usagi would have the most extensive family in the story of manga and anime, and most of them would have probably been born by parthenogenesis. And if we take ALL the OCs, then there’s a Sailor Senshi for absolutely everything. The idea of designing your own Sailor or turn yourself into a Sailor is attractive, I know, but is it really necessary to call her “character”? Most of those “characters” are nothing but a cute doll with a beautiful dress

OK, end of the rant
Those were my reasons to draw Usagi, just Usagi, the 14 years old girl who suddenly finds herself immersed in the umpteenth battle between Good and Evil, her life as a normal student collapsed as she’s forced to become a warrior. The most eye-catching detail of this drawing was supposed to be her hair, so I made her pearl-like dress as simple as possible; the only concessions made were the bow and the open brooch since they are an important part of her style in the series. Drawing her two foreshortened forearms was difficult enough, so I’m not shading this time; I think the drawing looks well enough even without shadows. I hope you like it ^_^
