Another year another huge milestone especially how we made it half way to 1000 color commissions which would take me until 2026 to reach there...and I'm slowly dying inside after I said that. But regardless, the very fact that I have reached 500 color commissions thanks to the wonderful supporters that I've gotten over the years that really like my coloring works and the many followers and the tons of people who come in and to check up the colors I've gotten in general. I just honestly can't thank you guys enough, thanks for the support. But still it's time to go big with my 500th color commission to help celebrate this special occasion. I mean come on it's my Birthday as well, there's no way I'm going to skip of doing something grand on a day like this. But while I do have many pictures to choose from in my stockpile it has to something that I really like, something that people known me for with multiple elements and it has to be something fresh and not similar to any of the previous pictures that I've colored. But what kind of picture would fit that description perfectly?...*looks up and sees a picture that has Astrogirls, LAMA gear and Cardcaptor Sakura bundled together in one picture*...That will do

That's right it's going to be a Cardcaptor Sakura picture for my 500th color commission and not only is it a LAMA gear picture but it also double as an Astrogirl picture with Sakura Kinomoto wearing the Astrogirl Spacesuit but Tomoyo Daidouji and Meiling Li wearing LAMA Scuba Gear. It's basically what a lot of people who usually follow me like rolled up into one...well except maybe the space lovers as it's mostly an Underwater themed picture but having a space picture and a water picture at the same time would be very hard to do

I've been wanting to do a picture like this as it's so unique and pretty different even though that I've colored these characters a lot with both of these suits but to have them together would be a good idea if done well. Leave it to Joko-Zuno who has been drawing these girls in these suits for a while to give out a grand first picture of these elements together for the first time...and having the characters in a quite silly scenario but this needs a story explanation and an explanation I'm going to give.

This takes place where the girls from Tomoeda Elementary trained to be Astrogirls and going to space. This requires training with LAMA gear a bit to give them a good idea of what outer space is going to be like using unique gear to survive places where no human could imagine going. After several dives in LAMA gear including an Arctic dive to showcase different environments, all 6 girls passed and are ready to take the next step in their training which involves the Astrogirls Spacesuit. And the perfect training spot for these suits is at a Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, a giant pool that gives a person who is wearing a Spacesuit feel like they are in Zero Gravity with their suits modified a bit to give out similar effect if they are in Outer Space. After learning about the Astrogirl suits and how the different parts works, it's time for the girls to start wearing the suit and training them in the pool. But due to safety reasons, for now, only 2 girls can wear an Astrogirl Suit at a time, but the rest of the girls can still help out as while one girl will wear the Astrogirl suit, two others can wear LAMA gear and dive with them to ensue that the training goes well without too many problems. So they are split into two groups with Sakura, Tomoyo and Meiling being together and Sakura will be the first one to undergo the Astrogirl Spacesuit while Tomoyo and Meiling wear their usual LAMA gear as back up divers. So everything is set as Tomoyo and Meiling have gotten ahead start while Sakura puts on the Astrogirl suit, gets on the platform and is submerged in the pool. Once ready, Sakura leaps off the submerge platform and begins her training...and already Sakura isn't off to a good start

So at this point while Sakura gotten very used to the LAMA gear very quickly, she couldn't get used to the Astrogirl right away due to how different and heavier it is. Without proper swimgear like she had before she constantly loses her balance very easily. She even tried to get a hold of her safety line to at least get herself straighten out but even then she has a hard time getting. So this is kind of the reason why Safety Divers are with Astronauts in Training in case something like this happened as Meiling noticed that Sakura's having a hard time as she rushes in to help her get balanced. Tomoyo is recording the whole thing as a means to keep track of what Sakura is doing and of course to capture Sakura's cuteness in general but even she admits that this isn't the best debut for Astrogirl Sakura. Regardless this is just the start of their training as I'm sure that all of the girls would get the hang of the Astrogirl suit soon...it's just that it's clear that some people would get the hang of it faster than others

As much as I love the scenario and it combines all the things I love, as for the coloring...well...It's just a usual LAMA gear and Astorgirl colors. The pool is my standard wall colors and the Space Station part does make it stand out as you usually see it in space, not underwater, but there's nothing to go on about it outside of that. And surprised, the same characters and gear that you have seen in other pictures are colored the exactly same way. I really can't talked about the coloring process due to how simple it is, but at the same time so is the picture where not too much work has been put on compared to the other picture but it's the idea that stands out as combining both LAMA and Astrogirl can work well if done right with the right scenario. And thanks to Joko-Zuno line work, my coloring and a few others to help polish up the picture to be as best it can be, I really do love this picture and it's a great way to start off my birthday, sharing this wonderful picture with all of you. So I can't say this enough...but thank you very much, to everyone, whether good or bad, friend or foe, I hope you love it

But with that said I'm taking a break from posting color commissions. Don't get me wrong I'm still accepting color commissions and I have a bunch of coloring projects that I have to do in a time limit and I just barely completed this picture on time...it's just that I want a minor break of posting color commissions for a while. For those who have been waiting on me to post their picture, I'm sorry for the wait but can you please wait a bit longer, it will be worth it I promise. Thanks for understanding.

Still I really love this picture and I would like to do more Astrogirls and LAMA gear pictures together in the future. Still, hope you love it
