Spirited Away : I Remember You

Description:

*watermarks will be removed before printing

This piece is part of my fanart series dedicated to one of my greatest inspirations, Hayao Miyazaki.  Art is printed on Canon Paper Plus Semi Gloss paper, available in sizes *4x5 or 8.5x11 (Canon Paper Plus Semi Gloss paper has a soft glossy finish with low glare).

Inspiration:

This was such a touching scene when Chihiro remembers Haku.  When you rewatch the movie, this scene feels bittersweet because you know Chihiro has to return to the human world soon.  I wanted to encapsulate Chihiro and Haku in one of their final moments together. 😭❤️ Who knows, maybe destiny has reunited them somehow.  

Process:

Last year, I got a trial subscription for HBO max to binge watch all the Hayao Miyazaki films they had.  While watching Howl's Moving Castle, I took screenshots of my favorite scenes. Then I transferred the screen shot to my phone so I could look at the scene while illustrating it in Procreate. This is a made-to-order piece that will be printed and packaged personally from konekokaci’s apartment. Art is placed in a cellophane bag for protection and shipped in an envelope.  I may need a few days to let the ink set + get to the local post office. :)
