Fire and Rain

Drawn for =SenshiStock's contest - a pinup piece inspired by a stock image from her previous contest. I've been trying to step away from obvious pose-and-pinup work, since I felt like I defaulted to it out of lack of anything resembling an actual style, but it was really nice to intentionally come back and play with it again! Hopefully, the judges will be inclined to agree.

And honestly, given the huge influence anime and Sailor Moon in particular had on my early drawing career, it's about time a senshi appeared in my gallery.
