The Gift of the Senshi

My entry into The Galaxy Cauldron's holiday art contest, the theme being "Giving and Receiving". I decided to go with a little more abstract idea of this theme, by using the fact that senshi gave their lives for their Princess.

I recently re-read the Stars manga after several years and having done this piece, and it became much more sad and meaningful after that! If you haven't read the Stars manga, please, find yourself a copy and read it! It's truly beautiful and much more sad than the anime.

I signed it digitally since the work was meant to be anonymous.

A lot of different media was used on this traditional piece: markers, colored pencils, chalk pastels, watercolor pencils, and even a little bit of gouache for the white! I had a lot of fun with this piece, and mean to do more of this kind of work in the future!
