Illustrations Creatively Capture The Sailor Senshi As They Complete Their Transformation Into Sailor Scouts

What a unique and interesting concept for an illustrative series.

Portuguese artist Kyara has a gift for turning childhood nostalgia into something fresh, and her Sailor Moon illustrations do exactly that. Working with colored pencils, she reimagines the Sailor Senshi in the middle of their transformations, giving each character a soft, weightless feel that stands out right away.

Instead of focusing on wide-open eyes or dramatic poses, Kyara leans into the quiet moment right after the change begins. The result is a dreamy series that feels familiar to longtime fans, but still manages to look completely new.

Her work has drawn plenty of attention online, and it is easy to see why. Scroll through the series and see which transformation stands out most.
