The people have spoken!<\/a> You, the readers of this site, have chosen Sailor Mars as the best planetary Senshi, a choice I wholeheartedly agree with. After all, who could resist this\u00a0fiery\u00a0vixen’s siren call? To celebrate, I’ve put together a small gallery of my top ten favorite Sailor Mars fanart, as found on deviantART. I’ve also included my brief thoughts on each piece. Now, please keep in mind that I am neither an artist nor an art critic. These comments just represent my layman’s\u00a0perspective\u00a0as a *ahem* Mars enthusiast.<\/p>\n

Check out these fantastic pictures below the break, and be sure to visit the artists’ DA pages and express your appreciation of their hard work. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\nThis picture is part of an ongoing series, depicting the various Senshi in a Western-influenced cartoon style while they assume various seductive poses. Although Mars in unquestionably the sexiest, Neptune<\/a> is a close second.<\/p>\n

\nThe impressive whirling streaks of flame are what won me over in this picture, along with the spectral angel wings\u00a0emanating\u00a0from Mars’ back.<\/p>\n

\nThe soft pastel colors here really evoke the same aesthetic as the original manga. Sailor Mercury fans, check out this artist’s\u00a0equally\u00a0impressive\u00a0take on her<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nRarely do the Senshi get to be badass in their civilian form. This picture shows an alternate take on Mars, dressed as a naginata-wielding ninja shrine maiden. The only flaw is the eyes, which are a rather odd shade of black.<\/p>\n

\nIf Sailor Mars were a comic book superheroine, this is what she’d look like. Well, maybe her boobs would be a bit bigger… still, this finely-crafted piece would look right at home on any Marvel or DC cover.<\/p>\n

\nA lot of artists try to draw Sailor Mars in a ‘realistic’ style, but this is the the most successful effort in my opinion. The reason for this is pretty simple: I don’t like copious amounts of lipstick.<\/p>\n

\nDespite a few anatomical gaffes, this image still conveys a sense of elegance that defines Mars’ character. The flaming bow-and-arrow, drawn in a very wispy and phantasmal fashion, are also impressive.<\/p>\n

\nFor all the alternative art styles we’ve seen thus far, it’s nice to see a simple, well-drawn picture of Mars in the original anime aesthetic. I’ll always prefer this kind of elegantly simple style over its more elaborate Western counterparts.<\/p>\n

\nThis drool-worthy image is based on Sailor Mars’ appearance in the live-action show\u00a0Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon<\/em>. It’s part of a series by the artist, which also includes Venus<\/a>, Jupiter<\/a> and Dark Mercury<\/a>, all looking just as sexy as our fiery friend.<\/p>\n

\nHere it is, my favorite Sailor Mars fanart of all time! This piece is drawn in a style similar to the ink-and-wash painting of Sessh\u016b T\u014dy\u014d, my favorite artist. Furthermore, it’s part of an ongoing challenge the artist calls “The 365 Project,” where she draws a new piece of art every single day for an entire year! Now that takes a level of dedication I can’t even fathom.<\/p>\n

So, what do you think? Are my choices sound, or should another piece have taken top honor? Is there any great fanart I neglected to include? Let me know in the comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
