Usagi and Seiya

"I can't replace the person that you love, but
I will always stay by your side
and I will protect you."

-Seiya, I Miss You, from the Sailor Moon Musical 5


This is for an art trade with . This also marks my first "offical" art trade ever.

Anyways. She wanted Usagi and Seiya. I'm always willing to do art for others, especially when it's a good challenge for me. This started off as a practice sketch, then evolved into the actual image. I was going to leave it sketchy, afraid of loosing any emotion I had put into it. In the end the sketchy version was HORRIBLE. To the point I can no longer look at it without feeling bad for wanting to accept that as the final product. Art takes time, dedication, and a love for what you do. I realized this as I re-drew this image many times tonight. 7 times to be exact in 3 different programs before picking the one that looked right. I'm please with this. I really am.

So , thanks for the chance to try something new and making me realize how much more I need to put into my art.

The art work is my own and of course Usagi and Seiya are that of the great Naoko Takeuchi.
