Mononoke Hime

Miyazaki week catch up.

Boom.

YAKUUUUUUL!

Hayao Miyazaki is a brilliant, passionate, gifted artist and storyteller. End of story. I don't think I can pick a favorite. They're all absolute gold. I went with Ashitaka and his red gazelle Yakul because I really like the duo. The noble warrior and his majestic steed. Good stuff. This was a special piece to make. Hope you all enjoy.

Girls of Miyazaki

In 1998 I first heard of Princess Mononoke coming to theaters. While it wasn't anywhere close to me, I went out and rented it as soon as it went to Blockbuster. I was into Anime, but I hadn't seen anything yet. I'm a converted Miyazaki-ite. Whenever I talk to people who have never seen any Anime, or who seem skeptical, I tell them to only give it a chance if it has "Hayo Miyazaki's" in the title. Mononoke was the first and my favorite for the longest time--Kikki's is lower on my list, but I got such an urge to draw her. Enjoy--and if you haven't seen any of his films, repent.
