Minako Aino

At last, the series is done, ironically with the very first Sailor Senshi to have her powers awakened.  Now that I have drawn all the girls in their school clothes, all that’s left is Rei in her Miko robes.  Then on October 4, Sailor Venus will be added to the roster for the new series, and my gallery.  She will then be included in my group photo, marking its conclusion.

I’ve still got time to kill. 

I still had to watch the classic series (and in Japanese, not that I cared), to find good pictures of her, and her debut episode provided some good ones.  I think Minako is so cute!  I love her long blonde hair, and that red ribbon she wears.  Fun fact:  she wears the ribbon because in the Sailor V manga, a guy she likes says she’d look good wearing one, and she’s worn it ever since.

Her hands did give me some problems (how predictable), so I had to use her redesigned look for assistance.  The screenshot I used also blurred the looks of her shoes, or maybe it was the shadow, so I used her shoes as Sailor Venus to help me out.  They have the same design anyway; the only difference is the strap over her feet gets moved to her ankles.
