Week 11 - Sailor Mercury by Jamie Fay

And yet another Great sketch from Jamie.  Sailor Mercury.

Here's what Jamie had to say over at Deviant Art...

"It's a new week over at  and this week's character/s is any character from Sailor Moon.

Since I've already drawn Sailor Moon herself in the past, I decided I had to draw Sailor Mercury or Venus next. I ended up choosing Mercury. I always liked how smart and caring she was. (I had a small Sailor Moon phase in 8th or 9th grade, when manga and anime started to blow up)

lines/inks by me

Week 11 - Sailor Mars by Andrew Charipar

I have a party to go to this evening and I'm not sure if I will get a chance to ink this one before tomorrow so I figured I'd post the pencils.

this is my contribution to this weeks subject... Sailor Mars.

in doing my research of the characters, she stuck out to me the most.  not sure why, maybe it was the hair... but when I finish the sketch, i'll post the rest

Week 11 - Neo-Queen Serenity by Danielle Alex St. Pierre

Another great sketch from Danielle of Sailor Moon.  Here's what she said about the sketch over at Deviant Art...

"This week over at  the subject is any Sailor Moon character. So here is my contribution. I decided to tackle Sailor Moon as Neo-Queen Serenity. I wanted to do something simple and romantic... after all Valentine's day is just around the corner. 

The background was digitally added after cleaning up the lineart. "

Week 11 - Queen Beryl by Randy Ostridge

This awesome sketch of Sailor Moon's Queen Beryl was contributed by Randy Ostridge and this is what he wrote over at Deviant Art...

"This image is for a weekly theme over at the Illustrious Bits sketch group.

I have seen about two episodes of Sailor Moon in my life, so I am probably butchering this character. One of the main villians in the early series is Queen Beryl, and I just liked her dark look. 

Really experimenting with digital painting in this one. I wanted to get a more watercolor feel, but still keep some of the lineart look. I may have overworked it in the end, but it was quite fun!

All Photoshop."

Week 11 - Sailor Moon By Rich Bernatovech

Okay, I'll admit it, this is really not my best work. I was trying for something that just didn't happen with this sketch. I was trying to kind of merge my style with the Anime look for this week's choice on Illustrious Bits of Sailor Moon. I was hoping something different would come out of the merge, but I wasn't really happy with the results. It was a fun experiment at least.
