Description
Howell Jenkins from Diana Wynne Jones' novels. It's been a long time since I drew him. A little gift for ~EvilLava , because she asked so kindly
And I still don't get it why books illustrations have to go under fan art...

Wonderful! It's far better than the official book covers- they should use this instead!

Beautiful! I knew where the illustration was from as soon as I saw the thumbnail. You captured the moment between Howell and Calcifer perfectly. I loved Diana Wynne Jones's novels as a kid.

Here via the link from The Illustrated Word. I don't mind how illustrations are filed as long as they send me beauties like this one!

I love, is sublime and beautiful, I really did to Howl as it should be, you are one of the best artists I've perused, seriously, I love how we think with the details and how to achieve that great contrast to everything.
great work congratulations.

jest świetny
ale moją pierwszą myślą było: "dlaczego Howl jest w żupanie...." o.O
zajrzałam więc do profilu......i wszystko stało się jasne

Great job with this! I have to admit that I've only seen the movie and haven't come across the book yet, but regardless, this is a stunning illustration.

Aaah, this is beautiful. I love the design of his outfit, and this is such a wonderful illustration of the scene. That book is so absolutely magical, and I really think you captured the feeling of it with this painting.

<3 I love Diana Wynne Jones' books. They're always so entertaining. Howl's is my favorite though.
I love how you depicted this scene. The movie version is cute but it doesn't have the same feel.
I like how you dressed Howell too. The sleeves are very wizard like. ^-^

Beautiful colours

Neil Gaiman based Stardust on Diana Wynne Jones' writing style. They also are apparently friends.

Nigdy nie czytalam tych ksiazek... Generalnie ostatnio bardzo malo czytam:/ Ale mniejsza z tym
Masz talent do kolorowania postaci, obrazow. Jego szaty, odcienie swiatla gwiazdy odbijajace sie na jego twarzy- to wszystko naprawde robi wrazenie

You are so right. I have to re-read.
Apparently Wynne has released a third book in the "series"?

Oh, I forgot, in an interview Mrs. Jones said she might write a 4th book, but she's not sure if she'll get around to it.

Yes. It's called the House of Many Ways. The main character is a young girl named Charmain Baker but everyone mistakenly calls her Charming.

Swietny, po prostu sweitny. Nie wiedzialem,ze w ksiazce nazywal sie Howell, a nie Howl. Nie wiedzialem tez, ze mial czarne wlosy. Tak czy inaczej, piekny obrazek.

W sumie obie wersje imienia są książkowe:> A czarne włosy wystepuja w obu wersjach - książkowej i animowanej.
Dzięki:>

this is absolutely perfect. I love the contrast of Calcifer against the blue of the rest of the composition, and how his 'trail' wraps around Howl in contrast to the repetitive streaking of the rest of the stars in the background. I really love the way you draw Howl, its very much how I pictured him when I first read the book with his 'bony face'. thank you for drawing this!
