@Pluto: Now that you mention it, I can definitely see the similarities of Sakura's second wand from CCS. ^^ How interesting! The Black Rock Shooter OVA focuses on two worlds and two sets of characters. In normal world, we focus on the friendship of Mato and Yomi, who start out in their first year of junior high. Throughout the anime, it shows how strong these two girls, who are seemlingly different, become best of friends but as their second year of junior high begings, they are separated and their friendship begins to weaken. The one day, Yomi disappears without a trace.

In a world separate from our own, we focus on a dueling battle of Black Rock Shooter (the girl with the flaming blue eye) and Dead Master (the girl with the horns, scythe, and chains). Unlike Mato's and Yomi's story, this story is told somewhat backwards until the end, but it ties our world and their world together through these these set of characters.

This is an anime that I do recommend. If you're interested, you can find it on Youtube with English subtitles.

@JoJai: Thanks hun! *huggles*!

That is interesting, Paprika! I think I will have to check that out later on. (Hehe, yeah. I guess because I'm on a Magical Girl kick right now, I noticed it right away.)

New sketch again!! This time of my very little loved character, Sailor Aeon/Mikaela Meiou-Florus!



The first drawing of my Sailor Aeon not as a chibi and since her redesign. While I'm not too happy with how the soldier form of Aeon turned out, I did love how Mikaela turned out. And something that is not in her profile just yet as I'm still fleshing it out, she has one wing that is made up of glass.

Some of her profile is up though so if you're curious about her, head over to the Otaku Senshi area.

Oh, that's very nice~. I like Sailor Aeon's broach, too. It's very unique looking. ^^

I always love your works Paprika!

I love your artwork! Honestly, I wish I could do that You're so talented!

Thanks everyone!! I really apperciate your comments!! *huggles Luna, Pluto, and JoJai*

Since I'm still without a computer...on to more sketching!! Here's a new sketch...



This is a Christmas present that will most likely not be done before Christmas. There will probably be a couple of these, but I do Christmas gifts for people I'm really close to on Deviantart. In this image we have (from left to right) my Sailor Silence with Garnet [elila @ Deviantart], Viola [sailor-serenity @ Deviantart], and Sailor Galatea [singing-kiwi @ Deviantart].

A good way to tell if I am close with another artist is that I draw pictures for them or I draw a character of mine with a character of a different artist that I respect/befriended. When this eventually get scanned, I will probably move Galatea over closer to Viola. lol. There will probably be more of these, but these sketches take longer because of the amount of characters I add to them along with the details. ^^

Wow this piece is gorgeous Paprika! I absolutely love it!

I'm not going to put this as apart of my first post yet because the image isn't put together yet. Anyways though, here's a sneak peak of what I am working on and will put together once I have Photoshop at my disposal again ^^;


Hate the eternal fuku with a passion and this one is no exception. I still need to add one of the "puffy" sleeves to the outfit and I forgot her crescent mark XD





The layout structure will be like this: The villains of Strings of Fate will be the background, Saturn and Silence will be placed on top of them where it looks as if the villains are emerging from their upper torsos, and EMS will be placed in front of Saturn and Silence towards the ground as that is how I positioned here.

Will update as soon as I get this together ^^

Ahh this is going to look just great Paprika!

And... I would have a special request for you... All Sailor Senshis in the eternal fukus LOL Just kidding

@JoJai: Thanks hun and LOL! I actually did Neptune, Uranus, Chibimoon, and Saturn at one time in another huge composition image. http://fav.me/d3he9rn

I don't mind the skirt portion so much that I mind the bodysuit and the puffy sleeves. Those things are evil things!! XD

Some new sketches ^^


This is another Christmas present for a girl I grew very close with over the time she has been apart of Deviantart. This one features my Sailor Sun and her Sailor Sol, who is a distant cousin to Sailor Moon I believe.



I'm apart of the Dead Moon Circus group on Facebook and the director challenged people to either create a drawing or a movie of their favorite season and ask to explain why. Well as many of you know, my favorite season is 'S" so that became my artwork. ^^ There are some things horribly wrong with this sketch but plan to fix it digitally.

Your Eternal Sailor Moon drawing is lovely!

Thanks Serena!! ^^ I've actually updated the pieces so it's a altogether one piece composition now ^^

Sketchbook Post Update!!

With setting up my computer, I was finally able to scan in all my sketches scanned in with my scanner finally (minus a few missing sketches which I will find). So I removed all the cell phone picture sketches and have now updated in this post with the newer scanned images (along with my watermark ^^ ^^

Ahh Those are just great and I like the comments you added for each drawing Also, your new signature is just amazing Paprika!

Thanks hun! Yeah, I always come up with names for each of my sketches, regardless if it gets completed or not. ^^ I typically put the name of the title of the piece on my watermark bar.

And thank you for your comments on my siggy! The artwork was a Christmas present so I decided to make a siggy out of it as my friend drew Maaya.

OMG! Your chibis and side profiles are just simply amazing!!!


You should really run a "ask the * " on tumblr.. I would totally follow you and totally pimp you out >.>

Amazing is just a small word.... IDK what word to use you describe how good they are.

Hehe, thanks Lady! *hugs* I've been drawing chibis since high school and was the reason why my college got paid for (got a scholarship on drawing chibis) and the side profiles took me ages to get right and I still have issues with it! ^^

Silly questionl what do you mean "Ask the *"? I'm drawing a blank ^^;

Thanks hun!!

There are "ask sailor moon" or "ask luna" or "ask - insert character name" blogs, where you draw an answer to questions people ask of you. You typically pretend you are that character in these blogs They are on DA and Tumblr

*huggles Brit* While what I draw was anime, the scholarship board (and my professors) didn't considered what I was drawing it to be anime since I kept referring them to being "Chibis". I just couldn't drawn full blow body anime figures as that was still frowned upon by my professors and such (at an art high school though that I went to it was highly encouraged ^^).

The power of the pencil and kiss and make it better are so kawaiiiii :3

Btw, I really love your style. Can't wait to see some of these colored.

Awww! Thanks Brit!


By the way...preview!!

I know I have been kind of LOA recently but, I do have my reasons! I have been working on catching up on my art backlog but I also have a Secret Santa gift to get done by the 30th. Here's a preview of it!

I can't wait to see that Paprika!!! Nice preview!

That's very nice! Is the character Sailor Galtea?
