The Howl fanart challenge!

[secondlina]

Okay...I just forced two friends who had never seen howl's moving castle to watch it with me, causing me to fall back into this fandom. I love drawing those two characters (Howl and Sophie) so much!
To my great suprise, My friends liked the most...Turnip head! (until he changed into a prince that is!)
Howl fans make great fanarts. I discovered a few rare gems while surfing the net...

first off: here is my latest Howl fanart: two really cute chibis! ^^




This fanart I found on a random site. Who made it? I wonder...



I discovered this art drawn by a french artist called Lenono...Sophie seems so delicate and beautiful!





Finally I also found these japanese cell phone screen savers or something I think...I like them!



I think it's pretty damn obvious Howl is only outclassed in my fandom by Slayers...*laughs*
Next update: I shall speak of a great adventure I had climbing under bridges, on roofs all here in Ottawa!

Actually, yes, I have read the book (and the sequel) a long time ago. Howl's moving castle was one of my favorites way before Miyazaki bought the rights to it (I rather like Jones. Her writing is excellent and always so randomly delicious!)

So let's just say when I learned Miyazaki got the rights to it (I've became a huge fan of miyazaki with mononoke, kiki and Spirited away)I was hyper like a humming bird on crack.

I love both versions of the tale. I like how Miyazaki's included war (which is mostly absent from the book). I'm not to sure I like Sulliman's gender change though!

I also read the books in french. They got translated. I got a hold of them throught my mother, who was a elementary school librairian at the time and used me to test new books for the kids she wanted to buy (that's also how I got to read the first book of Harry potter...Ages ago! It was still unknown! By god...there was a time where it was.)

In any case, Howl was called Hurle in french (prononced Hoorluh about) and Sophie stayed Sophie since Sophie is a popular french name.

One day, i'll have to post my pre-movie Howl and Sophie dawings. Let's just say I imagined Sophie pretty differently!
