I just picked up a couple more incredible sets from Episodes 124 and 125:

Itoh drew every page in the Sailor Jupiter cut, but only the yellow pages in the Neptune cut.

On this note, does anyone have access to her character design sheets for Sailor Moon S? I've seen the ones for Supers, but I have only come across the S ones for a couple of characters.

Seems like more Itoh’s sketches were recently sold on auction. More fuel to the rumor that she is the one secretly selling them. Good for her, she deserves all the money !

Because you've got TASTE.

And just those two pages from the book's hundreds of pages.

I also like what she did in Princess Tutu, essentially her baby.

Helios rough that was used for settei. It was sold for 305 000 yens. He was so pretty in her style god I want to cry.

Already received the book and figured I would share pictures ! Seems like some Mahô Tsukai Tai roughs were also sold. (I’m not sure if all 4 pictures are appearing or not but you should see the url).
For a weird reason the first one doesn’t appear so here is a link: Here

She changed her style so drastically over the course of the show, by S her work was a improved version of Kagawa's artstyle.

What's interesting about these rough drafts is that you can see she's sorta mimicking Naoko Takeuchi's style in the top right sketch to get a feeling for the character, then she goes on to modify and refine his look to fit the anime in the other drawings.

She did something similar with the rough settei for Haruka and Hotaru, too.

I sure hope more rough settei shows up in the future. So far we only have these and the ones Kazuko Tadano publushed in her Final Sailor doujinshi. You really get to see the process of how they transformed the characters for animation in them.

^ Sometimes we've wondered what the anime would look like if it adopted the manga's style, but now I also wonder what the manga would look like if it adopted the anime's style (the film comics don't count since they're just "screencaps" from the anime & are in color).
