To quote my original comments about this piece to @bludragongal

“This is my repentance for the bad modern redesign I did once upon a time. She still looks fantasy-esque, but the idea was that she got her duds at a vintage shop and she’s supposed to be “mysterious person woooooo” anyway so it was fitting for a modern AU setting which was the premise of the Lyra/Brent jacket design… it’s weird but there’s not much you can change about Thistle’s clothes/design without making it feel like “not Thistle”. Which to me is awesome and super cool.“

Gah I want to use this design for something in the comic so bad

i’ll find a way

The speedpainting of this week, this time featuring the main characters of one of my favorite movies of all time! I love Spirited Away to bits; I love how whimsical and magical the story is and the animation is absolutely stunning. Hayao Miyazaki’s work is definitely one of the main factors that inspired me to get into animation in the first place: I want to bring worlds and characters alive like that! One of my favorite things about his work is how the characters’ hair is used to express emotion, like it’s such a fun touch oh man. ;-;

Okay but enough gushing. This speedpaint was once again focusing more on the characters and feel and not so much the BG detail. Took me about…. 3 hours? I worked on this super late so I dozed off a few times working on it, but I really like how it came out! This will also be a print I will bring with me to the conventions I’m vending at this year.
