Years Of Kinomoto Sakura

This was born from pure joy.
I'm currently resting (for now) at my grandmother's empty apartment because she herself is hospitalized.
My aunt and her husband (living in the same building) lent me their old laptop (a nice li'l Fujitsu Siemens) while I'm here.
You see, the computer I have at home (Lenovo ThinkPad. Such a pretty computer, but also such a pity...) doesn't register my tablet driver for whatever reason. Well, the USB ports were always acting sort of suspiciously, so I'm guessing it's because of that.
All in all, I installed the driver online (plus EPTSai) and voila! My tablet, alive once more!

Well, I felt like drawing some magical girls, so I went with my favorite magical girl of all time - Cardcaptor Sakura!
This here is depicting Kinomoto Sakura during different points of her life. Kind of like an age meme, now that I think about it...
Starting from left to right:
During the manga/anime, 1st year of high school, 1st year of college, as a mother (age unknown?), as a grandmother (and possibly mentor for some other MG?)

The outfits are all based on the first (farthest on the left) one, which is based on a rough memory of Sakura's dress in the 3rd opening of the anime. I didn't have internet then so I had to take some artistic liberties due to my limited resources. The hairstyle of the first Sakura was based on the manga version of her, and the other hairstyles are all based on Sakura/Tsubasa from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (the manga).
As I'm submitting this, I sadly realize that elderly Sakura's hairstyle looks like Karin's from Chibi Vampire Karin and that I forgot Manga!Sakura's adorable thick eyebrows! Noooo!

In any case, CCS is the most beautiful MG show in my opinion - it matches my tastes in every way: it's serious without being edgy, it's cute without being annoying, it doesn't really have any fanservice (at least I think it doesn't?), there's no bad person VS. good person, they're all just people living their lives with a bit of magic, the MC is cute and sweet without being a Mary Sue and a total pain in the hind, there are so many types of couples frowned upon in society that are not at all questioned in the manga and are portrayed in a non-perverted acceptable way (teacher-student, homosexual, big age-gap, teacher-student AND big age-gap) alongside other more traditional couples, and while we're speaking about couples, the romance is just right as it doesn't take away from the plot but warms the heart - IDK, IMO it's wonderful.
Also, I had the HUGEST crush on Li Syaoran when I was young(er). I still dig his eyebrows. Mm, those eyebrows.

So. Songs of praise aside, this took me several hours, mostly because I wasn't used to my tablet doing all these wonderful things it hadn't been doing for so long...!

P.S. If anyone wants, I could make this available on a T-shirt or mug or other products somewhere? IDK. Only if there's demand, though.
P.P.S. About the category - since this is based more on manga versions of her than the anime version, then I categorized it as digital fanart of books & novels instead of movies & TV.
