Strength of the Stars

11 October 2014

I finally got the chance to watch Cardcaptor Sakura. I remember watching Cardcaptors on Teletoon so many years ago, but much like Sailor Moon I don’t remember anything that happened or why I liked it. So it was quite the pleasure watching the subbed version on Crunchyroll with my sister <333

It’s safe to say that CCS is now one of my all-time favourite animes and I’ve become a little obsessed over it (especially Sakura and Syaoran, I’ve doodled fanart of them so hopefully you guys will see some in the future ;D if not here, then on my website). I had no idea that I would like it so much, but now I just love iiiittt <333

One night I got the second opening song stuck in my head so I was just “OKAY I CAN’T TAKE IT, I’M DOING A SKETCH.” …then once I finished the anime, I couldn’t help finishing my sketch and this came about!

This isn’t my favourite outfit of Sakura’s, but because the song was stuck in my head I chose to draw it. c: I added Kero-chan because… well, Kero-chan is Kero-chan. The moon is glowing purple for a reason (those who’ve watched will probably understand) and I made the Clow Cards from scratch. The majority of this was drawn in Manga Studio, then a few special effects – mainly the cards – were drawn in Photoshop.

Thanks for looking, and have a great weekend! (And HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you Canadians! ;D)

Edit Here’s the making of “Strength of the Stars” as an animated gif! :D Enjoy~
