Ugly picture… somehow, I lost all sense of realism here, and it came out looking like… well, really bad. Anyway, I got Howl’s Moving Castle, I guess for my birthday, and it quickly became my favourite Miyazaki movie, especially since it’s his only movie with any sort of overt romance. Plenty of others – Whisper of the Heart, The Cat Returns, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, etc – hint at it, especially WotH, but HMC is the sweetest. And it’s full of drama.
And I like drawing wingies (like furries but with wings) but it didn’t work this time. And do you call that Sophie? Then you’re more forgiving than I am. But Howl’s face is still rather bishounen.
