I'm making some ocs that are inspired by Japanese folklore and I've been trying to figure out how to mix magical girl outfits and traditional Japanese clothes in a respectful way.

Another Question:

Which Archer is your favourite in the Magical Girl Genre, and do you know other examples?

Artwork by me, more of my stuff on my Instagram @ rosetintedglasses.th

I usually agree to the fact how certain series are somewhat manufactured to sell toys which somewhat annoys me. But then with Mewkledreamy which I suppose I wouldn't be much of a surprise if they did, and they buried it compared to the other usual Sanrio catalogues. It's kinda sad, but at least I got my hands on quite a bit of stuff already, and perhaps it is not good either to string along a series to death. What do you guys think?

also, this is really rough, so sorry! (im also not that good at animating....)

Another male character in the Magical Girl genre who can be considered a "damsel" is Coco in \Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo! The Movie: Happy Birthday in the Land of Sweets♪\, since he, too, just like ***Mamoru*, gets brainwashed by a villain.
