Princess Mercury No More

I enjoyed making A Heroine Emerges so much that I've decided to do one for Mars ([link]) and Mercury.

I loved how this turned out, especially the dress design. Though, I admit she is a bit........tall. I didn't realize how long I had made her legs until I had inked it. Oh, well.

Unlike Serenity and Mars determined/angry expression, I decided to make Mercury have a more gentle expression; it suits her better than an angry one. And since she has a gentler disposition, I decided to have her slowly drop her crown rather than throw it.

This has the same meaning as A Heroine Emerges.

Princess Mercury takes her crown off, giving up the luxury and safety that her royalty brings and is determined to not look back, only forward, toward her new destiny, which is to go fight evil alongside Princess Serenity.

Hope you like it.

If anyone wants to color it, be my guest. Just give credit where it is due if you upload it to your gallery. I would love to see how this would look like in color.
