Artist's Comments

The polar opposite of my recent Disneyfied Serenity - call it a weird animated exchange program ;)

Putting Belle in Takeuchi's style was interesting...loooong arms, taaaaalll body, and the nose and mouth almost non-existent, as is her skin tone. :/
That's deliberate, as is the fairly ambiguous shading. Takeuchi really only shades to show form, not lighting.
This might have looked MORE authentic if I'd had Painter, with its better watercolour emulation, but it's close enough ;)

I love it. You did a wonderful job. This is exactly how I imagined Belle looking in Naoko's style.

Very hard to recognize her as Belle, she looks so sad. I guess I'm more used the bright Disney colors as opposed to Takeuchi's style. I wonder what Jasmine would look like?

And what do you mean my dolls are scary?

They're so... sparkly *_* ;p

As for the 'sad'... yeah, ALL Takeuchi faces tend to look like that. I think it's meant to look languid and sexy ;p
Belle wasn't exactly laughing when she first looked in that mirror...

Wow! How do you so many different styles like that, I can barely manage one style let alone disney and takeuchi like you're doing.

Denise killed Geta, stole Orly, shagged him senseless, and proclaimed herself Queen.
"But I don't want to be among queers."
"You can't help that, we're all queer here."

It's called 'I want to do what the OTHER person's doing' ;)

The downside is that my style is CONSTANTLY evolving. My own style is a weird Disney-Japanese hybrid and it's evolving again.
Doing all this Jem and Disney art means that my characters are growing NOSES again!

Preeeeeeeeeeeeety *loves Belle and Takeuchi's style*

I thought Belle's dress had a corsette tyle top and a skirt-like bottom, but either way, very pretty ^_^

It does, but I explained the change in that.

All the Sailor Princesses have empire-line or A-line dresses with no corsetted waists.
I changed Belle's dress accordingly.
