Sailor Venus Swimsuit
May 29, 1997
Medium: Pencil, Prang black ink, Prang watercolor paint
Based on one of my Sailormoon cards of Minako Aino in a Sailor Team swimsuit, this is one of the few Sailormoon paintings I created. “Private” means civilian form of character, meaning Sailor Venus in civilian form (i.e. Minako Aino). “Battle” means sailor form.

Sad Ami - original version (left) and colorized
Nov. 1, 1997 (original) and Nov. 10, 1997 (colorized)
Medium: Pencil (original), Prang black ink, Prang watercolor paint (colorized)
Doesn’t Ami look kind of sad in this one, especially with her eyes? ;.;

In the Dark
Nov. 11, 1997
Medium: Pencil
I thought the combination of Ami’s sad eyes and Hotaru herself would mix in this picture. It did, along with the dark background surrounding them.

Chibi Chibi
Nov. 18, 1997
Medium: Pencil
The adorable and incredibly kawaii girl with her umbrella. I wonder how she managed to have her hair done like Usagi’s and Chibi-Usa’s except it’s done in hearts!

Update Dec. 12, 2002: Five years after this drawing was complete, I had finished taking Japanese 1 class and as I uploaded this drawing to the site, I realized I wrote the hiragana of Chibi Chibi's name wrong. At the time I drew that picture, I did not learn to write Japanese properly so I copied Chibi Chibi's name as much as possible from the original Chibi Chibi card. Here is Chibi Chibi's name in hiragana with accompanying romanji:

"chi"	"bi"	"chi"	"bi"

What happpened was instead of putting the hiragana for "bi" (pronounced "bee"), I wrote "hi" (pronounced "hee"). The hiragana for "bi" looks the same as the hiragana for "hi" except for the quotation-like marks on the right of the hiragana, indicating how the hiragana character is pronounced.

Jupiter Wink- original sketch (left) and colorized
Nov. 23, 1997 (original). Date of colorized version unknown, possibly circa late Nov-Dec 1997
Medium: Pencil (original), Prang colored pencils (colorized)
One of my favorite senshi giving the wink. ^_^

2 Sides of Usagi
Nov. 23, 1997
Medium: Pencil
The two sides of Usagi: Super Sailor Moon (left) and as herself, wearing what appears to be lingerie, according to one of my high school teachers. o_O Although the upper half of her dress does look like underwear, it’s really a full-length dress.

Rei/Troi and Haruka/Yar
Dec. 28, 1997 (original sketch), Mar. 13, 1998 (colorized)
Medium: Pencil (both versions), colored markers, Prang color pencils (the latter two for the colorized version)
While leafing through Star Trek: The Next Generation magazines, I came across a picture of Troi and Yar together. It seemed to be a perfect picture to use for a drawing and I cast Rei and Haruka as Troi and Yar, respectively. Rei got the part of Troi because both characters have empathic abilities, though I don’t know if Rei is a Betazoid like Troi. (BTW, I later found out Troi’s waistband is light grey, not pink. Oops.) Haruka was cast as Yar because they do look alike. Was Yar reincarnated as Haruka? Hmmm…

The Mar. 13, 1998 colorized version is a Xerox of the original Dec. 28, 1997 version.
