This is one of my Epic Tier rewards for July. The client wanted to see Sammy/Shingo Tsukino paired up with one of the Sailor Scouts (except Moon, Uranus or Neptune), and I decided to go with Jupiter of the remaining options. Sailor Moon is always a franchise I would’ve thought I’d drawn more of by now, but for some reason it’s never in the forefront of my mind when coming up with new concepts.
So I did a second Pixel Vixens pic, this time of my good friend, the dead sexy Anya Lykke, in her cosplay of Artemis from Sailor Moon. I believe this is the first time I’ve drawn someone with tattoos; it was a lot easier than I’d feared it would be.
COY stands for Cross Over Yuri. The premise is pretty simple, I have a list I’ve compiled of over 500 cute girls from various anime and manga. I then use a random number generator to make pairing, which I then draw. Every third picture is a threesome.
Once again, I’m afraid this is a case of my reach over extending my boundaries. I really wanted this pic to be awesome, Amara Tenoh (Haruka Tenoh) is my absolute favorite Sailor Scout, and I really love Kannagi, too. Unfortunately, I wasn’t ready (and, indeed, may still not be) for a pose like this. All things considered, it turned out alright. It definitely could have been a lot worse. Still, I’d love to this pic done better justice some day…

If someone were to ask me to choose a pic in my history that marks the turn where I could divide the old pics from the new, it would be this one. I was so terribly disappointed with the last couple COYs, and some of my other work, too, that this one was a blessing to me at the time. Looking back, it’s far from my best work. And yet, I still think it stands out. I was just starting to get the hang of real good, clean linework (not quite there yet, but this was a start), and it was the first pic where I really experimented with colored lighting. I’m also pretty fond of the pose, particularly Michelle (Michiru). Usually I have trouble with women in this position and, while this one isn’t perfect, it’s better than my other attempts at the time.
Also, as a side not, I absolutely love Sarah Adiemus, and intend to revisit her somewhere down the road.
