Artist's Comments

Ah, I love combining one genre with another style ;)

What would Serenity look like if she joined Belle, Aurora, Ariel et al? Probably something like this.
Putting on my Disneyfication hat, I made the odangi a bit more natural-looking (her original tennis-ball odangi would have made her look a bit too much like Minnie Mouse). The construction is a lot rounder and more solid than Takeuchi's extreme stylisation.
I figured Disney would probably not let her keep the empire-line gown and give her a corseted wasp-waist like the other girls.
Serenity's gown is also mostly white and yellow, which might seem a bit too bridal, so I added a touch of mint green.

I deliberately coloured her to be as close to animation-cel as possible. Disney do not do elaborate hard shadows/highlights on their characters like in anime, it's all just one *simple* tonal layer applied with a gaussian blur in compositing. Anime shadowing is more elaborate because the animation is more limited(more held cels where nothing happens), so fewer frames to draw. Disney is a full 12-24 drawings a second, so the simpler the better.

Hey, this is good. They actually did the hairstyle like that for the live action Sailor Moon show. Well, at least until Usagi transforms. She kind of looks lke Snow White

Nice job! You've certainly got the style down pat, and I think Usagi looks closer to her real age here than in the manga/anime.
:iconb2topaz:
