The Wind Rises Contest Entry

deviantART had a contest this week to create a piece of art in tribute to "The Wind Rises", Hayao Miyazaki's final film. It was a tight 5 day deadline, most of which I had to prepare for my next con which is this coming weekend, but I took a day off anyway to do it. It was my first time entering a dA contest and I felt I really needed to pay tribute to Miyazaki has he's been a big inspiration for me over the years. Anyway, hope you enjoy! Can't wait to see the film this weekend!

The Nine-tailed Fox at the Changing Tree, Oji

This one was so much fun to make! It was inspired by one of my favorite Hiroshige prints (http://bit.ly/NfwMLQ)

Nightmare

My latest ukiyo-e style painting! Hypno lulls them to sleep, Drowzee eats their dreams, and Darkrai replaces them with nightmares! Inspiration for this piece was "One Hundred Stories of Demons and Spirits by Kitagawa Utamaro (http://bit.ly/1c1EpL8), and the characters are inspired by pokemon and yokai.

Blazing into 2014!

Happy new year! Ok, I'm a day late to the party but I was celebrating XD For a lot of people I know 2013 was a terrible year. Some attribute it to black magic and unlucky number 13  I had my own share of ups and downs, but I'm very optimistic about 2014. Hopefully this piece conveys that sense of optimism to you as well  Look forward to more traditional Japanese style pieces like this very soon!
