I FINISHED IT WHAT NOW AAAHAHHAHAHAHA--

I'm pretty happy with how this came out - and I used my own texture for it (crumpled paper)! So I'm proud to say the only thing that isn't mine are the characters. *POSE* But alas, they belong to the well-known and talented Mr. Hayao Miyazaki.. :D And if you haven't seen this movie, Howl's Moving Castle, then I suggest you do quickly!

Colored in Photoshop 7.0 for about 5 or 6 hours.. which I spent the time before then reading this god forsaken book, Surviving the Applewhites.. e_e English teacher spontaeneously wanted that book read before Tuesday, and so it's like, "AW CRAPPIT. D:" because I haven't touched the book since today. Eugh. But that's off topic.

ENJOYYYYYY~ my fellow fans of HMC. :aww:

PS - Think this would be a good print to sell at anime conventions?

Edit - Someone was bound to mention this but I forgot to color in Sophie's hair bow x@;

Beautiful O_O Geat job on the coloring and overall mood of the piece. Very, very well done :D
Yaaaay movement ;O it's so awesome. I love the fires and the feathers and the Howl. He is so...so cool. XD. SUCH a cute movie and book~ Lovelovelove. Are the out of focus things supposed to be feathers that are just...really close? xB If so...that's a pretty neat concept. n_n

up, up and away in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon...i'll push you out!
This is such an amazin picture, and the crumpled paper makes for a great backround.

I love the embers flying through the air, and the fact that you can barely notice the smoke. Great work all around.

Duct tape is like the Force: It has a light side, a dark side, and it binds the Universe together.

Thousands of years ago, cats were treated as gods. They have not forgotten this. =^.^=
Beautiful! It's a wonderful piece completely; both dark and yet light...:+favlove: in an instant!
