Some of you may know me as the person who doesn't talk on the forums very often, or if you've seen any post I made, they're usually in the forum games section, I'm here today to ask you to judge a piece of art I drew of a character I sometimes play in Suburban Senshi.

This is the first piece of art for Pinako, and probably my only one, I did get inspired to make this after learning of a fanbook announcement.
Personally, I don't think I did a good job on this drawing, but I want to know what you think.

Short Bio:
Name: Pinako
Characteristics: Loves playing, pets, spending time with her mother, learning about ancient histories
Special Skills: her arms can split into vines, though she doesn't have as much control over it as her mother.
Weaknesses: arms being tied up, can be distracted by pets, or as she calls them "Fluffies"



if anyone wants it smaller, let me know

well, now given the temptation, since I went ahead did three new pieces of Pinako. all of them were retraces, one from a Sailor V poster in the anime and from two frames from Toei's short lived version of Yu-Gi-Oh in Retas using the line tool.
The first one is Pinako against Val The Csar (along with imagery that would be edited out in any dub)

The second one is Pinako assuming a Pose from the Sailor V poster (with transformation pen and card in hand)
And the third one is (this is an unfinished version, it was later finished.) Pinako holding cards in her hand, in all three she is in a Sailor Guardian Uniform.
Not sure how these will be accepted, I I have a feeling they may not be, Still I figured I might as well share them here.

I'm glad someone got where Katerina's design comes from :happy:
as For Daniel Kano, I wouldn't exactly say Sailor Mars, more Mars Warrior (with an altered Transformation phrase to suit him)
with their battles/adventures taking place 30 years after the first season, I do see a few challenges for them to overcome (both in actual Senshi Vs. Monster fights and "Knights & Guardians" Card Battles)

"Knights & Guardians" being an In-Universe Version of the Sailor Moon CCG

I've been wondering for a while now whether I should rename this thread to bring attention to other characters I've drawn as part of Pinako's group, as well as her foes. Line art and colored settei are made for them.

I also made her a transformation sequence and am in the middle of making another one for one of her friends.

Should I go with renaming this thread from "Opinions on a Youma Futurespawn OC" to "Opinions on Sailor Moon: Tokyoma Gaiden Characters"?
 
#8
well that'll settle it, I'm changing the thread name
in the meanwhile, here's two transformation scenes for Pinako before I dump character art later tonight. Ah, what the heck, here's some character art for the 3 main characters too.












(6B - 10 A meaning second half of episode 6 until the first half of Episode 10, the top settei for Katerina is for Episode 3 until 6 A, I am not sure how Katrina's settei will be taken, I'm not sure how to word the rest of this, but I imagine while the character whose design Katerina was inspired from may have had a permanent disability, Katerina herself would have it temporarily, akin to Prof. Tomoe at the end of S and his appearance in Stars)

Let's round off the rest of Pinako's friends we'll meet throughout Season 1, shall we?
Here, we have Youma Narun, Morga's daughter (There's a bit of a parallel here)
Here in her Youma Kai Middle School outfit


and her in three other outfits.
Left: greatly resembling her mother, home outfit
Middle: public outfit, I do think it is based on one of Naru's outfits
Right: Outfit worn during Devil's Game, she comes to support Pinako and her human friends during this trying time.

Youma Metalia (you can probably guess where this little youma's from)

And her (Adoptive) Brother, Barry (guess what's with him, especially since his second face looks sinister.)

And finally, the villain that was initially hyped up to be the penultimate one, Ashura Kingdyes (yes, his design is based on the one from that Sailor V anime concept, though, give him about 30 years.)

I'll give a small spoiler right now... Val kills him before the end of the season.

I mean the character concepts are interesting. Some things I think are weird and silly like baby Metalia. As for the general Suburban Senshi stuff they do have some cool concepts and characters but other stuff is just utter nonsense and badfic and I don't like how they character assassinate certain characters like Chibiusa for instance. It runs the gamut from being a good fiction series with cool plots and characters to being a bad parody fic like My Immortal. Admittedly I do like your inclusion of Ashura as the main bad guy. I did like the concept art of him on the hypothetical Sailor V anime. Though I must admit the plot is rather confusing are the Sailor Senshi all guys in this universe except for Pinako and her team etc.

I'm glad that you like Little Metalia :happy:, I tried to meld the two known designs for Queen Metalia along with some original touches (because soul = dark smoke in manga/Blob-like thing in the anime, I consider the stone skull like it was her own original body at one point.)

I'd say He would be a good bad guy for the first 3/4 of the arc, but while he's the greater threat for Pinako, he won't be the final foe she'll face by the end of the first season.

I'm planning on a 3/2 split (3 female, 2 male) team once they are assembled, I have Katerina's Sailor Mercury form listed as "Sailor Mercury II", so they're meant to be the "Second Generation" or Backups of the actual 5 main senshi. (of which all but Minako* will make rare appearances), it'll actually be a few arcs before the Second Jupiter and Venus are brought to the main cast.

*Minako is part of the main cast in the first season.

Dr. Xadium could be amused to hear these comments. lol

I'm closing a poll on what people think of the art (Pre-Tokyma Gaiden) tomorrow, recent developments necessitates a new poll!

I'll leave the question here for now and edit this post with the explanation tomorrow

Should I change Daniel Kano's color palette? (Don't answer it now, answer when the poll changes... if I'm allowed to change it.)

I like Daniel's look personally. Though it is interesting with Katerina. I know she is based on Saban Mercury. Though your idea of her not being able to walk as Sailor Mercury as opposed to relying on the Professor X like mecha wheelchair in Saban Moon in Senshi form makes me think of this one person's OC Sailor Earth I read on the net long, long ago when I first discovered the internet. Apparently in this lady's story her Sailor Earth was Rei's sister who couldn't walk and relied on a wheelchair until she transformed into Sailor Earth and she could walk.

Don't tell me you've been watching Box!Daniel Kano and Box!Katerina :happy:, for that one he's trying to get her transformed state's legs to work again via Physical therapy (Because dimensional shenanigans that won't be in Tokyoma Gaiden), but in the Story (unconnected with their Box versions) Katerina will be fully rehabilitated before becoming Sailor Mercury (post # 8 states that she'll be fully rehabilitated by episode 10's first half).

Though, my last post I mainly put the question down because, I noticed in the just released trailer for the western world of Sailor Moon Part II, that Daniel Kano's clothing basically resembles what I think is Civilian Mars' clothing (though with pants and longer sleeves instead of Mario bros. overalls and short sleeves) I'll be binge watching both parts tomorrow before putting it down as a poll if I'm allowed to when the old poll expires.

Edit: after seeing the full pilot in a link somewhere on this forum, I don't think I'll be putting up that poll after all, but it is interesting to see what elements I can use for Tokyoma Gaiden in the future.
