My Censorship Powers

Hi! Merry Christmas! (Well, it's Christmas Eve, but....) Anyway, I spent some time in my favorite image editor, GIMP (with G'MIC). I did some amazing censorship on some Sailor Moon screenshots from the Japanese version, all with screenshots from Sailor Moon Uncensored. I came here to show you these photos. Most were pretty easy, but some weren't. I won't show you the uncensored ones, I don't have a lot of time. I'll just point out the edits. Behold!
This is Ami/Amy's transformation. I used G'MIC to smooth out the image,and brightened the image with the curves function. I did that with all of the shots, so I won't point it out each time. The exclusive edits are the erasing of the body lines (I did that myself, not with shots from the dub) and the addition of a couple sparkles, most notably on Ami's pen.
This is Rei/Raye's transformation, with the same edits as Ami's. The body lines on this one were harder, because of all the different colors. I blurred the spots that I patched a little, you can't really see it.
This is a full body shot of Luna's transformation to human from the Sailor Moon S movie, cut from the dub. This was really hard. I tried to blur the revealing parts, but it wouldn't work. In the end, I added sparkles, and a giant lens flare in the shape of a dress over everything indecent.
This is a shot of Uchoten, the daimon from the infamous Sailor Moon S skipped episode, episode 119 of the Japanese version. While the dub gave this daimon a digital bikini, I erased the outlines of the breasts. My way was easy, and it toned down the nudity (to me at least, it made the breasts look smaller).
This is a shot from Japanese episode 4, which is cut from the dub because Umino/Melvin had a sweatdrop on the back of his head. It was unbelievably easy to erase the sweatdrop, and I blurred the area around the patch a little to make it look even better than it already did. It was really easy.

And, that's it! What do you think? I really would like advice, especially about the Luna dress one. Does it look good? Does it work? Feel free to criticize!
