Description

Materials: Multiliners, Copic sketch markers, PS CS5 for editing
Time: ~30 hours

Got reacquainted with my dear old markers this spring break! It's been such a long time since I had the time to sit down and use them that I couldn't even recall the names/numbers of the colors orz;; Traditional art is long and tedious, but there's nothing like ink all over your hands and getting a faceful of ethanol fumes every few minutes

I've been marathoning my old Ghibli movies, and was reminded of how much I loved them from childhood until now. Howl's Moving Castle will always be one of my favorites! I am very thankful for Miyazaki for bringing a little more magic to this world with his films ;v;

Will be selling prints of this at Fanime (San Jose) and Anime Expo (LA) 2012!
There are also some WIP shots posted in my tumblr if anyone is interested!

Amazing job, I love the colours you use, to make everything shine, i also adore how you included so much from the movie like the moving signs in the background and howls earring on Sophie, also the lights and there are so many details I cant imagine how long this took you. Amazing job.
Also the textures you used with the clothing is surreal, Howls cape/jacket has the rounded checkers on it , gives it depth, making it look 3D.
The softer parts of this picture give contrast to the sharper harder objects, like the jewels on his belt, and the rounded glowing lights. The only way i could think of improving this picture would be to add Calcifer, but then again a lot of people did that and that's just one of the things that makes this picture stand out a little bit more. Excellent Job.
