An unsent piece of fanart of Minako Aino from the anime <i>Sailor Moon</i> that I did for YTV's <i>The Zone</i> circa April 1996, when I was 21.<br><br>
Yes, I was a 21-year old man sending artwork based on a little girl's cartoon to a children's show. Sue me. Well, it was better than any of the other artwork shown on the show (except for this one other adult <i>Sailor Moon</i> who copied my schtick).<br><br>
I actually got briefly famous on <i>The Zone</i> when P.J. Phil Guerrero (a.k.a. "P.J. Fresh Phil") and "Snit" kept on showing my <i>Sailor Moon</i> artwork on the air starting around October 1995. I even got a few pieces of fanmail!<br><br>
Of course, hard-core <i>Sailor Moon</i>-atics will recognize this shot as coming from the <i>Sailor Moon S</i> episode, <a href="http://www.tcp.com/doi/smoon/episodes/sms114.html">"Crazy for Celebrities! Mimet in Doubt"</a> (<i>Sailor Moon</i> episode 114), the episode wherein Minako and Mimet both compete to be eye candy in superstar Jinta Araki's next film.
<br><br>
One lasting legacy of the <i>Sailor Moon</i> artwork I did for <i>The Zone</i> was that I learned to draw well using coloured pencils on card instead of paper, and card is still my favourite material to draw on to this day.
