Check it out. In this amazing illustration created for Alternative Press Expo 2012, artist Kevin Wada reinterprets the characters from Sailor Moon and gives them a grittier, more badass look. In the artist's own words:
I wanted to grunge up the girls a bit. The show is very saccharine and sweet and playful - which is fantastic, but as with anything I do, I have to add something else. Reinterpret things, make it mine. Not that reinterpreting this series is new, it’s been done to death. I always had a soft spot for Mars and Jupiter: one being super bitchy and hot headed, and the other being really athletic and hardcore. Both of them were far from boring, and you can see why I featured them so prominently (Mars may be my favorite in this piece). I only watched the series before the additions of other scouts, so I’m not as familiar with them. Either way I hope you enjoy the piece.He also recently rendered the Pokemon characters with a similar treatment. Amazing stuff. To see more work from Kevin Wada, check out his Tumblr here.
