Description
This is a personal piece I've been working on for a while now.It is a tribute to Studio Ghibli and just how much of an impact their work had on me and my life. Especially back when I was a teen, struggling with depression, insecurities and the usual stuff most teenagers go through. Ghibli provided a string of hope; you could forget any misfortune for a couple hours and just delve into a more beautiful world, absorb inspiration and just enjoy the emotional ride.
Howl's Moving Castle was, and probably will remain my favorite movie. I could identify myself with the characters and their personal struggles, it just always felt.. quite nostalgic? Probably one of the reasons why I didn't need any reference except a screenshot of Calcifer's eyes.. seriously I had no idea what his eyes looked like haha
Well I hope you guys enjoy it, cya

I love this. Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favorite, favorite films. So much so I went and bought the book series too which I highly suggest reading if you adore the movie.
Very beautiful

Oh nice, I actually wanted to grab the books. Just listened to the Audiobook on yt a few days ago, lasted around 8 hrs and it was surprisingly catchy. Thank you very much

Absolutely beautiful work. Ghibli has always been my bright spot in an usually ugly world as well.

My mom got me the collection a little while back, it's my saving grace since our Internet is too slow out here to stream movies!
It really is nice to be able to have it handy

I feel like mine was picked up from a pirated copy sort of market haha
Like it doesn't seem official. Because some of the copies have strange audio. Not like creepypasta audio, but just segments that are a tick off from the original.
I will not look a gift horse in the mouth though, it's my go - to comfort for rainy days and being sick!!

When I've seen the flame I thougth about Howl Castle, even before reading the comment of this piece! I love Howl's Moving Castle! Back to the illustration... I've enjoyed the use of color, it's pleasing and refined. Her anatomy is OK, but the eyes looks a little bit strange, I don't mean because they are white, but maybe they are not on the same line height, I've got the impression that the left eye is a little higher than it should be, or maybe the bottom part of the eye is not perfect.
But the way you rendered the color, the skin and the fabric of the dress is amazing! The hand maybe is too much distorted but it works!
Well done!
