Description
Something about the changing seasons makes me think about the past a lot. Maybe because most of my memories are winter memories or something, I dont know.. but any time it's fall, I think of Animoon. This time I randomly started doodling my old character Kaze, and instead of scrapping it I decided to finish it. I went back as far as i could to her original sailor scout-y colors and everything, and then gave it a modern twist.It's really kind of odd.. This picture was something of a journey. I can't explain why or how. But when it was done I felt so relieved. Not because it was over, but because of the reality behind it. I guess it's pretty abstract, but suffice it to say that this goofy little sailor scout OC from a million years ago means a lot to me.
Tools-
Open canvas 4+ = sketch, lineart, detail
Adobe photoshop 7.0- base colors, finishing effects

I understand what you mean. Sometimes I look back at old characters I had created and ditched...but after I draw them again I can sometimes feel they're now officially saying "goodbye" to me.
The background is amazing, and the wings are spectacular.

Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous. Something about it really does strike up lots of memories from back when I first started drawing, kinda like you said. The piece in itself really is an embodiment of that sort of ethereal memory. Simply stunning.

May I ask how you placed the base colours? With a hard brush or a larger soft one? (Sorry for this silly question but right now I'm in despair about my colouring and try to get some ideas -///-' )
Anyway I really adore this picture. I don't know, I like her because she looks really nice and she gives me the feeling to think back to my childhood.
The picture also gives some kind of "ending" feeling to me. O_o Not in a bad way though but some kind of "positive ending way". (Sorry, I start to talk silly stuff now...)
Keep it up, you're definitely an artist I look up to.

Wll it may have been a journy for you, but I'm glad that we're able to see the end result. Its Gorgeous! Me being a huge Sailor Moon fan noticed the resemblence right away, and I think it makes it even better. I especially love thos Wings! They look like they could be make of light or something. I also love how you have her on her tippy-toes with light. rEALLy CoOl. Can't wait to see what else you will dazzle us with

I love that way of colouring and also how you made the light stand out so much.
And why is it that we all at one point wished we were/had a Sailor Senshi character?
Happy new year ~

beautiful! but i dont know how the head seems more big the its need

i think everyone has tha one character from their younger days they just can let go of and that will always mean a lot to them. you can tell how much you care for her in the amazing amount of detail you put into it. she really looks alive and even tho its very sailor-scouty she has a very unique and personal touch. this is one of my new fav deviations

I can understand what you said sooo much :T
I know how it feels to bring something from the past... Something special the most of times.
And the feeling of it... kinda lost in space, it's poetic and beutiful... Congratz! 
Just loved that shiny stars and the glow...

she's really pretty. Think of it as free therapy. And sometimes you need to do these things to move past what was on your mind so you did a good thing and thanks for sharing.
