Working on a new costume with an Art Deco theme! It brings me back to this unrevealed oldie, Mistress 9 from Sailor Moon! I drew quite a bit of inspiration from Art Deco for her look. I always loved her sleek and elegant silhouette 💙🖤
Every outfit Naru Osaka wore in the entire anime series, plus some fan designs towards the end:
- Naru’s cameo from episode 173 (in Sailor Stars), where you could only see the back of her head and shoulder, extrapolated into a full costume with a familiar color scheme to match the blue jacket.
- Sailor Stars-era Juuban High uniforms (inspired by the one drawn by Marco Albiero)
- Sailor Earth, as designed by Drachea Rannak and depicted in the excellent fancomic Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Earth by Jkellicu ( https://bsse.thecomicseries.com/comics/1 )
- Almandite, who was Molly Baker after becoming slightly mutated and matured to join the other four generals, from an old 90s fanfic called “The Crystal Weaver Saga” by E.Lidell, which can be found on the Nephrite and Naru treasury website.
Plus three of my own new designs:
- Dark Princess Osakaite, a design for my own project, where Naru’s past life held a terrible secret, and a strained relationship with her mother as she was forced to serve Queen Metallia...
- Metallic Sailor Sun. This form is a mystery...?!
- Princess Osakaite. Perhaps in another time, things might have been different...

EDIT: (12/20/22) added Naru’s cameo from episode 151 (end of third row).
EDIT 2: (12/26/22) Added costumes from episodes 56 (Snow White play rabbit / bunny costume), 77 (”Pro Wrestling” fantasy sequence costume), and episode 95 (the one seen on the fantasy sequence poster with a green vest). Also reformatted the whole thing into 4 images so it fits a little better.
Updated high resolution also on imgur, for good measure: https://i.imgur.com/8him00N.jpg
A drawing of Nephrite for an artbook I’m in the process of creating. Hopefully will be out later this year if not next year, given life allows. Done in Clip Studio Pro. The others are next.
In the meantime, feel free to quench your thirst XD
The original Sailor Moon big bad, Queen Beryl! I definitely ended up channeling a bit more of manga and Crystal Beryl’s story with her infatuation turned obsession with Endymion. I was going for a gown consumed by rose vines kind of concept for her. Crystal wasn’t perfect by any stretch, but I’m glad we got to see a bit more complexity to Beryl’s character to what we saw in this original series, who seemed more evil for the sake of evil versus her more tragic counterparts 🥀
