My own Nursery Art - Ghibli

I've been feeling very ambitious the past week and I think there's one more thing I want to do before I call it quits.  My nursery theme is various films by Studio Ghibli, a Japanese animation company owned by Disney and I've spent the past week painting various characters from some of the films.  I thought I would share what I've accomplished with you.  ^^<3  (Forgive the flash in a few, I used glossy black so the flash makes a few of them look funny.  Looks great in person, not so great with flash.)

  • NO.WAY!!!! I love Miya moves and CATBUS IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!! >^..^<

    So, when exactly will you be coming over to catbus my place and add a soot sprite??

    Great job...really truly!

    (btw, did you ever see the children's bed that came out in Japan that was an actual catbus? I remember seeing a photo of it hanging in a comic shop about a doz years ago, but I bet Google would turn up an image)

  • I haven't been able to find much baby ocean stuff for decor so I started painting my own.

    We're looking to put our house on the market soon and upgrade to a bigger home so I didn't want to paint directly on the walls.

    I opted for 10x10 canvas

    I found some cute bathroom rugs online and drew them out by hand on the canvas then painted with acrylic.

    I have 1 of the 4 done so far.

    It took FOREVER.  For some I printed the picture out in sections but for the catbus I traced it off of the monitor.  Then I cut out the basic shape and traced, cut a little off and traced, repeat that a bunch of times and eventually I had a pencil sketch of what was going to be on the wall.  I used acrylics to actually get it up there and I think the catbus was my favorite out of all of them, it was also the first one I did.  I have plans to add a Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service above the window then I think I'll be done.

     Thanks for all of the compliments!  I hadn't seen that bed before and now I want it.  o.o<3 

     That seahorse is adorable!
