Artist's Comments

This is my entry for :icondrachearannak:'s contest: [link] .

***SAILOR CANCER***

Name: Marie Crabbe (Marie means "Star of Sea", and Crabbe is obviously a pun XD)
Age: 17
Birthday: June 28th
Birthstone: black pearl (pearl is one of the common birthstones for Cancers, and I wanted to make it a bit more special by making it a black pearl)
Colour: orange-red and silver
Technique: Crab Nebula Veil (creates a magical barrier around the target, thus protecting it from harm, and it also does damage to anyone trying to penetrate it)
Likes: being with family and friends, swimming
Dislikes: mean people, hot water, seafood

Yup, I am a Cancer. XD

I always found it difficult to depict a personification of my own zodiac sign, because - let's face it - crabs aren't exactly the prettiest animals out there.

However, this time I chose to actually give it a try, and while designing her fuku, I really wanted it to be as obvious as possible as to what she is representing. ^^ Hence all the armor.

Good traits of Cancers: emotional and loving, intuitive and imaginative, shrewd and cautious, protective and sympathetic.

Bad traits: changeable and moody, overemotional and touchy, clinging and unable to let go.

This is why her technique - Crab Nebula Veil - is of the protective kind.

The fuku itself was inspired by the body of various kinds of crabs. Her skirt, for instance, was inspired by shrimp's tail. XD (I love shrimps, btw.) Her weapon was inspired by the crab's claws. She is holding a shield, because Cancers are very protective.

Her second color is silver, as I read on the net that the Cancer's colors are white and silver.

The rules for the fuku were:
1- It has got to have the two bows, one frontal and one on the back. - check!
2- It has got to have gloves - check!
3- It has got to have the typical sailor miniskirt - stylized, but there
4- It has got to have the typical sailor neck-shoulder thing - check!
5- It has got to have at least two gems, one for the tiara and one for the chest bow check!

Well, hope you like her. ^^

On a side note, this was a quicky, so no critique is necessary.

The pretty brush in the bg is from :iconlithe-fider:.

To be honest, designing this fuku made me feel better and more inspired, so perhaps it would do you good, too. ^^ Looking forward to seeing your entry. ^^
