They might appear cute and doe-eyed in the original Japanese animated series, but we all know Sailor Moon girls are bad-ass. From a girl who throws flames to a chick with the power to annihilate an entire planet or star system, this is definitely a group you don’t want to mess with.
Fans are now taking the warrior characters out of the Japanese school yard and re-designing them with costumes, expressions and rendered environments that portray them as alternative, post-feminist, pop culture heroes. Take a look at the team as you’ve never seen them before – bruised after a battle or hanging out in cyber worlds, these are girls who fight, love and never run away.
▼ Awesome art from Laura Sava features sailor Moon with some of the best steam punk weaponry ever.
▼ Abigail L. Dela Cruz puts the group in a retro space world reminiscent of 60’s cartoon The Jetsons.
▼ Abraham Cruz proves tough chicks like Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter can wear tutus too.
▼An androgynous Sailor Moon mid-battle by Hellcorpceo.
▼ Sasha Mutch shows us what the team would look like as characters from a Final Fantasy-esque RPG. That’s a game we want to see!
▼ Like something out the film Blade Runner, W. Scott Forbes has the girls in an ethereal, cyber-punk world.

▼ Ryann Shannon gives us the Sailor Punkz with a tough edge.
▼ In this artwork by Kevin Wada, the senshi appear as mythological ancient gods of war.

▼ Stefan Tosheff brings us Sailor Moon, tired and bruised from battle.
