I proceeded to find out where it came from and I discovered it's from a French comic book called Venise Céleste. I was unable to figure out the meaning of the picture from the comic book because unfortunately I do not speak French. Anyway it reminded me of Sailor Venus from Sailor Moon:
which made me think about the Roman goddess Venus. I wanted to look at the basic similarities between Venus, Sailor Venus and the image from the French comic book. The woman in the comic book resembles the goddess Venus because of her beauty and lack of clothing. In many pictures Venus is either nude or in a revealing dress. Sailor Venus is the "girly-girl" of the Sailor Scouts; she is very much into her appearance and boys. Her character is very similar to the goddess of love and beauty. I think it's interesting that in both images the magic they use is a bright yellow color, which seems to be symbolic of the actual planet Venus, the brightest planet in our solar system.
On a side note... I really wish I could find out more about the comic book because look at these pictures!! The colors are amazing!
