Description
I was originally gonna showcase first, before starting, finishing and submitting this piece, a display of all my friends as anthros. But I got the urge to show this first, as the latter piece might take me a bit longer. ^_^ My friends are important but I'm gonna take my time on that project. Until then.....here's this! I had a sudden drawing streak last night when I came up with this.

I meant originally to do this a couple of years back after seein Studio Ghibli's "THe Cat Returns". And in my mind, several sketches and arts emerged. But I was unhappy with all of them. By then, my fascination for the movie wore off.

Until last night I thought I'd draw him. I had a few pics of the anime saved in my "My Pictures" folder. I used those for a real quick reference. I sketched what he looked like real quick on a scrap piece of paper. Then afterwards, sketched out the pose, using the apperance of him I had from my own reference sketch. I spent inside all day then doing the lineart for this in Adobe Illustrator and coloring in Adobe Photoshop 7 and.....Ta-Dah!!!!!!!!! I present to you, Baron Humbert Von Gikkingen, owner of The Cat Bureau and the male lead in "The Cat Returns"!

The movie is a very charming one. It's also heartwarming as well. I suggest checking it out! It's one of the best in my DVD collection.

Enjoy!
