A new Sketch-a-Wish, voted for by my wonderful Patreons for September: A piece inspired from Howl’s Moving Castle featuring Howl showing Sophie the field of flowers near his childhood cottage.
Whaaa I put so much detail into the gang in the back, but it’s barely noticeable when you zoom out.
I finally finished my take on these two in modern fashion clothes, and Calcifer bag ehehhe I had to give Sophie a cute pill box hat w her decora fashion mixed w hanbok top and obi belt, and really loved drawing Howl in a happi with his classic jacket pattern omg now I want one ✨ ((Also book spoilers is somewhere in this for those that read Howl’s Moving Castle the book)))
“You see” said Howl. He swung out an arm and his black sleeve disturbed several hundred blue butterflies feasting on a bush of yellow roses. “We can cut flowers by the armload every morning and sell them in Market Chipping with the dew still on them.”
At the end of that green lane the grass became squashy. Vast orchids sprouted under bushes. Howl and Sophie came suddenly to a steaming pool crowded with water lilies.
Ahhh my favorite dysfunctional story book couple! Alternately titled, “FFS Howl I’m reading, you of all people should know better.” But Sophie how will you form babby so quickly after marriage if you don’t at least TRY.
The sketch for this was an old picture I started in 2015. It was crazy how much style has and hasn’t changed since then!
This was from the $1 tier, which has exclusive art several weeks earlier than other social networks get it. If I get more Diana Wynne Jones people interested in being a Patron, it can def. become one of my posted fandoms!
