Inspirations: Rose

( PLEASE DO NOT REPOST. THIS ART WAS INTENDED FOR ROSE. )

Rose is a friend I've made through the Kuroko's Basketball roleplay community back when I roleplayed and I think we've been friends for a year now. It's about to be our second year of friendship once summer comes, and hopefully we'll be friends for many more! Rose inspires me as a fellow oc creator. Her Kuroko's Basketball original character depicted above, Hana Shirakami, inspired Allette Shiratori aka Sailor Leda's conception since Allette was made as a reaction to my take on a white themed Kuroko's Basketball original character. Since Allette aka Sailor Leda will be the protagonist of some of the arcs of Senshi no Basuke , Rose is definitely a big contributing factor to my fanon that I'm slowly but surely working on. Hana has also inspired details for Aimi Umino aka Sailor Laomedeia and Toshiko Shimotori, my Haikyuu!! original character. Ironically, Allette and Toshiko are white-haired like Hana and all three of them with technical positions in their sports. Hana, Aimi, and Allette are point guards while Toshiko is a setter. Needless to say, Hana is definitely one of my favorite of her original characters. Not only does she help me with ideas for my original characters which includes Minette Kurokawa aka Sailor Kerberos, Kairi Mizuno aka Sailor Naiad, and Aishiro Mikan aka Cytherean Knight. She also pushes me to do research for them like with Minette Kurokawa, Oki Shima aka Sailor Neso, and Tamami Hiishi, my SK8 the Infinity original character. She also did a lovely fan art of Mihiro Kasamatsu aka Sailor Charon and Chantelle Aomi aka Sailor Sao eating at a café with Usagi for my birthday!

She also successfully tempts me into making sports anime original characters 😂 but I still love her and am grateful for her. Hopefully we'll be able to play with our original characters together and draw each other's original characters a lot. Hoping for many years of friendship together, Rose!🌹 She also hopped on the sharing original characters on websites train so have a look at her WordPress if you're interested!

Inspirations: Hương Trần

This is my childhood friend, Hương Trần. Growing up, she came up with a fan senshi named Sailor Crystal who I believe was Sailor Moon's granddaughter and I made a Sailor Mini Crystal (?) who was supposed to be a relation to Sailor Crystal. Unfortunately, I didn't save her art of her original character. She inspired some of my original characters.

Mika Mai was somewhat based on her by having a name meaning "fragrance" aside from also being Vietnamese and sharing one character trait from her. This Mika was originally meant to be a Sailor Senshi but it didn't work out for the plot of Senshi no Basuke so I revamped her as a Prince of Tennis original character.

Mika Midorima aka Sailor Orthosie was somewhat inspired by her in that she and who is now Mika Mai was originally meant to have a NANA story together by being friends with the same first name.

Anthe aka Sailor Chaiel was inspired by her because we did a roleplay game when we were younger that Fiore returned as a villain but with the power of rain instead so Sailor Chaiel has the power of clouds (inspired by me) and rain (inspired by her.)

Manju aka Sailor Knon was somewhat inspired by her in that she was meant to be a counterpart to Sailor Chaiel so she also has rain powers.

I don't know if I'll ever find you again Hương but I just wanted others to know how you inspired some of my fan senshi. I also hope to be able to draw all four fan senshi above together one day.

Changing the Saturnian Moon Senshi's Transformation Theme

Recently, I started having second thoughts about using Passacaglia as a transformation theme. As lovely as the song is, it's too somber for a transformation song (in my opinion) which clashes with the energy of the other unifying transformation songs! However, I hope to use Passacaglia as a character theme for one of the Saturnian Moon Senshi.
