Attempted some sketches of the 90's YJ crew in my own style! With our favorite Impulse and his two coincidentally blonde (well, most of the time for Cassie) and double "S" named BFF's, Cissie and Cassie! Lowkey love the 90's style on them. They look WAY cool haha. And you gotta adore solid rep for platonic friendships between guys and gals where they can be close physically but it doesn't necessarily have to be romantic��
(And, yes, I made the glasses reflective so I wouldn't have to draw his eyes because they are HARD, don't JUDGE me XD)
I'm Mao Onigawara of the Ground Defense Force! I'll protect the peace of Japan!
I was privileged to be part of @dotzines pris-M-agic Zine project, and this is my illustration for it! When picking a magical girl, I wanted to represent a series that was influential on me growing up but would be underrepresented in the zine. Despite other options having a more meaningful influence on me now, I knew they'd be (rightfully) more popular. However, Ground Defense Force Mao Chan was the anime that REALLY got 10 year old me into anime (and, down the line, magical girls!). Strange, right? With these two combined factors, it became an obvious decision.
As for the drawing itself, I wanted to highlight the titular character Mao. Despite being mostly pink in design, her representative color in the story is green. It was a fun challenge to balance that out appropriately while also finding a way to convey her role in protecting the land/ground/earth.
A season 1 episode of Babylon 5 is playing on one of those random free "live TV" streaming channels and despite having seen it before and coming in halfway through I'm transfixed

Today we transferred my little daughter to the hospital because she is suffering from an infection that is affecting his breathing and causing him pain. I hope that every living conscience will help us save my little daughter’s life and donate any amount we can.
