Artist's Comments

In the latter part of 2003, there was a 'Spirited Away' fanart competition in which the prize was to have your artwork in the exras sectoin of the official UK DVD release of Spirited Away. I thought I'd have a go at the contest, and this is the result.

The ghibli style of art was fairly simple and enjoyable to draw. The best part was of course drawing Haku's dragon form - I love dragons, and this one reminds me of the dragon from 'Never Ending Story', a favorite film of mine when I was little. As per usual, I was running late for the deadline, so I had to rush the background. Those trees look so lame ^^;;; Despite my shortage of time, I decided I wasn't happy with it in cel style, it just looked to flat to me, so I had a super mad rush re-colouring it in my preferred shading style. But when I finished that one I found I preferred the original cel style pic instead, lol. I'm so indecisive ^^;; I asked the guys over at AAUK what they thought and it seems as though the cel style was preferred so that's the one I entered in the contest, and uploaded here, but if you want to see the other version it on my website.

If anyone reading this *has* the UK edition official Spirited Away DVD, would they do me a big favour and look in the gallery/fanart gallery on the DVD's extras and tell me if it's there? I never did find out if I'd won...

At first I thought this was an official art.

Wow. Just wow. Spirited Away is my current favorite anime, but I'm pretty sure I'd love this picture beyond beleif even if I hated the anime itself. That's how good this is.

And as for those 'lame trees', I'd die of happiness if I could draw backgronds a quarter as good as that. It's great and it looks exactly like the backgrounds in Spirited Away. You put yourself down too much.

The fanart is hotter than the actual Work.

*Adds to favorites*
