"As I chased Orion, so shall I defeat you. Zodiac Senshi, Sailor Scorpio - the star has arrived!"

Having just completed her henshin, Sailor Scorpio stands in her final pose. Her arrival line - the traditional announcement phrase *all* senshi have when they show up solo or with their team - is above. Though I would be the first to say that Scorpio strikes first and *then* announces herself to her prey.

I love senshi who aim for a "fair" fight. =^^=

Discarding the "normal" fandom colours of reds and blacks, Sailor Scorpio is completely earth-tone browns. Rather like the scorpions she resembles in her henshin form, Scorpio's tail stinger is poisonous and used as a stand-alone weapon, outside of her mahou attacks.

More of a mixed media piece, I've really come to like the style of a few *really* extreme highlights. The armour is in fact natural plating on her body, a take on the protection scorpions have in the real world. The 'stinger' at the end of her hair isn't poisonous, but it is sharp when she whips it around. The pinchers on her hands are also good weapons for close combat, seeing as they don't pinch (I know, real ones do) but instead are closer to slashing daggers in their use.

Time? Huh - about 5 hours markers and then a good two hours solid working on the background. Self - scanning at 600 DPI for an 8.5x11 image is INSANE. ><

I love the richness of colour used here. Really like how this one came out...she was great as just a line drawing but you've really enhanced her with authentic tones. You talented girlie! :clap:

Merry Christmas!

I wish my scanner didn't bleach as much as it did - even with colour correcting, she's not as rich as she is in person. x.x
