What’s this? I finished something?! Watch out kids, this must be a sign of the apocalypse. As long as I get to see The Hobbit before the world ends, then it’s all good.

Anywho…

It’s Wizard Howl. He’s quite wicked you know! ;p Been working on this monster off and on between school work for a while now. I didn’t really turn out how I originally planned, but c'est la vie! I’m still pretty happy with the results. This is fan art of the movie, not the book. The book is one of my all-time favorites though and I’ve got some sketches of my interpretation of Howl. I might do something neat-o with them later.

A lot of firsts for me with this piece and I learned a lot. First time coloring with Photoshop (I’m more of a Corel Painter kinda’ gal) and doing a proper background. I’ve got some new-found MAJOR RESPECT for artists who use PS all the time. It takes FOREVER. Also, those fail mountains? Yeah, never again! I hate rocks now. And I forgot how to draw clothes dagnabbit. Never stop drawing, ‘cause then you have to reteach yourself all that junk.

Time: Too long.
Medium: Really rough sketch on paper; drawn and colored in Photoshop
Stock used: MouritsaDA-Stock , WanderingSoul-Stox
ref used for the castle

Howl © Studio Ghibli/ Diana Wynne Jones

You say the mountains suck? WHY YOU NO UNDERSTAND HOW GREAT THEY LOOK? ^_^ Seriously, I think you did a great job on the mountains AND the stars, AND Howl (he's hot ^_^), AND the castle. Prettiful. :3

Aww, thank you so much! :3 I guess the mountains just didn't turn out the way I imagined is all. :) I'm glad you like it!
