Sailor Mercury and Jupiter - A little romance (Patreon)

This is one of those ideas I've always had in my head to draw, but just didn't feel like I had the skill to pull off.

I finally had the time to draw my favorite Sailor Senshi ship in an intimate moment of romance!

This piece will be shared for Sailor Mercury's birthday (Sept 10th).

The fully shaded version was done first. A few weeks later, I started my animation journey. I revisited this piece and reconstructed it to support animation. It's my most complex work to date. It features hair, bow, and skirt movement, designed to simulate a magical moment. I figured out how to animate a little kiss. It's very cute.

Hope you all like it!
