Description I finally got round to watching Arrietty today, and for the rest of the day, it was all I could think about! It was such a beautiful film - the art, the characters and especially the music. I've been listening to 'Arrietty's Song' by Cecile Corbel on repeat for...a fair few hours now, and it's just so full of feeling and magic Plus - highland + j-folk = I've been dreaming of music like this all my life TT___TT

Anyway, naturally my first few attempts at drawing Arrietty were failtastic, and Sho looks about 20 here XD But I'm happy with my first simple go at drawing them, though Miyazaki's style is incomparably better than mine!

If only Sho and Arrietty were the same size... *sniff*

(Oh yeah, and I am alive! I've got this next week free, so I hope I'll be drawing more now I've got free time.)

Apparently I need to look at my watch deviations more, because I totally didn't see this until now! That is positively adorable <3 I agree with the same size comment...I almost started crying at the end!

(For the record, that is pretty much my new favorite Ghibli movie. Arrietty = <3)

Haha, no worries! Thank you

I LOVED Arrietty! X3 It was so beautiful and the music was magical! I love 'Arrietty's Song' on the soundtrack! The separation at the end made me really sad though. Why couldn't they stay together?! TT_TT

Seriously! I wanted so badly for them to stay together at the end! I actually bought the soundtrack were Cecile Corbel had given lyrics to songs that didn't originally have them, and then I burned it onto a cd to put in my car (and I drew the scene where Arrietty reveals herself out in the field, albeit very tiny and very badly in Sharpie). Arrietty's Song and My First Borrowing were my favorites :3

And I am actually nearly finished with an Arrietty cosplay for Fanime (her short sleeved red dress). All I have left to finish is her pin sword, hair clip, and have my wig get here. Obsessed? Me? NEVER. XD

Aw, I really wanted to do that dress too, but I've already got 3/4 in store (which I will get some damn pictures of!) I'm pretty sure loads of people will recognise you - obsession is catching ;D (It's such a good movie! X3) Though don't be surpised if people say you're too tall for Arrietty. I got that the whole time I was Human Al at Expo last year!

I really want to see pictures of your cosplay Good luck making your props - I have no idea how you're going to make the clip...

Oh, I am sure I'll get the elitists saying that it is either crappily done or that I am too tall to be her (seriously, some of our fellow cosplayers can be quite ridiculous), but I figure if I'm enjoying myself, oh well lol I do hope obsession is catching though! lol

I'm trying to make my props fit the scale size to a Borrower, so I think my pin sword looks pretty close and my sugar cube looks about the size it would have been in comparison to her when Sean (or Sho) gives it to her at the end. I may still make her little rop holder to hang from the belt, but that will be if I have time lol

The clip I have an idea for, but things are usually easier in theory than in practice XD Thank you for the wishes of luck though, as I am sure I will need it lol

Here's a pic of the in progress from my Tumblr though! This was taken about a month ago, before I got my bag: [link]

I took to putting in progress shots up there, since dA had issues with me putting some in my gallery of my drawings at one point. lol

Thanks XD The soundtrack is beautiful! At first it sounded celtic, but then I heard Japanese lyrics, and yet it fit so beautifully Really glad you enjoyed the movie!

I loved it too! I can't describe how magical it was, and how much it stuck with me after I finished watching it Ghibli are geniuses!

And well done on getting your Nan to watch it! Next time I see her, I'm bringing this movie with me! XD
