Sailor Summer

For the role of Sailor Summer, Chelsea was an obvious choice in my imagination, in terms of color scheme and game thematic ("Sunshine Islands" does come across as a mental nudge).
Many problems with this picture, starting with the posture - which looked fine a couple of years ago when I first sketched it, but seems all wrong now (and was too much of a bother to redraw from scratch - laziness triumphs once again). Still, I'm very happy with the way this turned out, and I do feel like there's some progress compared to the first picture I did with SAI.

THANK YOU to everybody who commented and faved my previous Sailor Harvest Moon concepts, 'tis greatly appreciated! My apologies for not replying to you all, I'm afraid I can't spend as much time on dA as I'd like. Four down, one to go.
