Sailor V: Softly

[FULLVIEW PLEASE]

I wouldn't be a lover without a Sailor V x Kaitou Ace piece. Totally ship these two.

Everybody I showed this to kept making a big deal out of the sexuality, but it's not like I was trying to make V-chan a seductress here. It's more about desire, hesitance… It's actually a more gentle concept, I guess. You could say there's a lot of symbolism in Ace taking off her mask.

I was really excited about the background (the actual picture © Thomas Moran). The quote is actually from William Shakespeare's "Venus and Adonis," so how appropriate is THAT? Also, I visualized the setting as the ruins of Venus castle, somewhere between the present and the past.

Enjoy.
