The first of 8 commissions for my Kickstarter backers. Queen Nehellenia is my favorite SM villain. DAT HAIR, Y’ALL.
I tried out watercolor brushes for the shading on this piece, and attempted to emulate the look of Naoko’s artbook images, with the liberal use of bright highlights. :D
NEW CEL! I had some birthday money to spend, so I bought this lil darlin on eBay. I’ve been eyeing it for a couple months, and I’m equally glad and surprised that no one else bought it yet. :D
The cel is stuck to the douga, so no real option to create my own background for it when I get it framed. BUT! Some enterprising soul turned the douga over before it got stuck to the cel, so the drawing itself is safe and sound on the back. :D
I’m SO GLAD I got to snap this up. This is an amazing moment from this episode (171) and it has both my favorite inner senshi and my favorite villain.
