Contest Entry: Princess Etoile

This is my entry to 's current contest.

The contest subject, is to draw a picture of her beautiful character/persona (herself as), Sailor New Etoile (in which I love very much), and so for my entry; I drew a "one-of-a-kind" picture of Etoile in her "Disney Princess" form, in a pose as seen on the cover of the "Sailor Moon R: The Movie - The Promise of the Rose" VHS & DVD boxes (according to one of the references I used to make this artpiece).

I have worked very hard on this artpiece, I did have some little troubleshoots while drawing the lineart, as a matter of fact... the pose was possibly the most challenging part of this entire project, considering that it was actually a first attempt to drawing certain character poses like the one shown here; I really don't think that I did a bad job for my first try, but can always work hard enough to get better at it. I'm very happy with how it came out, especially with the coloring & shading effects, and I think that it was truly worth all the effort.

I hope that you'll enjoy this, my dear friends, and wish me luck in the contest!

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, and artists' signature). The background was made on Adobe Photoshop CS3, and added on & color saturated to light green by using Adobe Photodeluxe Home Edtion 3.0.
