Art Trade: Sailor Tromboner

This is my half of an Art Trade that I'm doing with my great friend, ...

We both agreed to do one together, then she asked me to draw a picture of her fanmade Sailor Senshi, Viola Tuner as Sailor Tromboner (which is actually a "collaborative" Sailor Senshi that her and another friend of mine, =IrisTheFaerie, had created together last year), and in return, I asked her if she could draw a picture of my Anime/Manga persona (myself), as Alternate Sailor Blessings.

I've had such a wonderful time drawing & coloring this adorable character of hers', especially with the hair, she was such a delight to draw. I'm very happy with the finished result of this artpiece.

I hope that you'll like this, my friends!

Drawn on 11x8 1/2 sketchpad, 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.

Reference pictures: [link] (for character's appearence), and for the similar physic pose & facial expression... I actually used a screenshot (which is located in one of my personal PC image files) that I took of a scene from Episode 118 of Sailor Moon, one time while I was watching some episodes of Sailor Moon on YouTube.
