Description This picture caused me incredible trouble to come up with a background and title- I had no clear idea of what this picture would look like from the start. Mechanical flying-bird! Looking at ~artbytheo 's awesome backgrounds lately for inspiration- or rather, his amazing method of developing backgrounds from a few abstract strokes. You should check out his tutorial. <3

Howl's Moving Castle is one of my all time favourite movies. Finally did a fanart, after trying to make myself redo Howl for a couple years.

Folds reference: [link]
Brushes: =Scully7491 , ~Daggerfell , and stickydoodle.com.
Adobe Photoshop 7.0 (background and base), Open Canvas 4.0 (character details).

EDIT: Lightened image.

Thanks! Though I did use reference, I'm not so awesome at drawing flaring cloth. D8

I... I love Howl. x3

And I adore the background. o_o It really looks as if it could be part of the castle. Or as if his lovely coat is about to be tangled in the machinery...

Noo! Not his pink coat! (Pink was such a random color.. at least to my brain!).

Thank you! Mmm, I ended up using Photoshop cheats and adjusting the colours all over. This picture was so so so dark. xD Fingerfeathers!
