Maristo Luno: The Sailor Moon Redraw Challenge

I’m not really a “fan art’ kind of guy, but when I saw this “sailor moon redraw challenge” floating around Instagram and Twitter, I figured “Why not?” as I’ve always been a big fan of the show, especially the Doom Tree story arc. I was a little stumped on how to approach the redraw part of the challenge in terms of style, as little would feel “uniquely mine” at the risk of sounding pompous. I went with a comical approach at first, and overall it was an excuse to get used to working in Infinite Painter, which I think I like the more and more I use it. Beyond that, I kind of felt like I hadn’t done the challenge justice. That’s when my friend Desi suggested I make one of my atmospheric landscapes. Recognizing it as an utterly brilliant idea, I wasted no time making some roughs and then deriving the color palette from the screenshot. I used an app called Coolors to make it, and then brought it into Infinite Painter.
