Description Do yourself a favor and watch When Marnie Was There. It's Studio Ghibli doing what it does best.

Like its predecessors, I adore the setting. A house by a marsh with a backyard that gets flooded on high tide? With a row boat that you can use anytime docked on your door step? Yeap, where do I sign up to live there? Oh, the film's theme this time is battling depression (by spending time with a ghost that you meet in an abandoned house by the beach). Haha! 

Watercolor and ballpen.

Oh, I finally saw this movie on Sunday (though I'd actually read the original book a few years ago)!  This is so pretty!  The watercolors were a great choice for a story with so much water in it!

Really? I do think there's something lacking in the movie too but I can't pinpoint what it is exactly. Maybe a sense of child-like wonder is missing as the other movies have? Totoro and Spirited Away have that sort of aura. 

I guess it's because Miyazaki isn't in this production anymore, or so I've read.

Ooh, I gotta see this.
You know, my dad lived in a house like that when he was really young.

Nick-Ian In reply to diskfire [2015-08-01 08:15:45 +0000 UTC]

Wow! Do you still go there? I have an aunt who lives by a beach. We used to go there before when I was in high school, my dad and I. But her place isn't like the Marsh House and the beach there is a bit dirty, but I enjoyed my visits nonetheless.

We stopped going there when I entered college and people became busier.

Unfortunately, no. That house has been around since the times of the Ottoman empire. I highly doubt it's still standing.
Still, I do love hearing stories about the place.

There's both a haunting from the hand, yet there's a peaceful look coming from who I believe is Marnie (Haven't watched yet ). It's kinda interesting. Nice work as usual though!

Yeap, that is Manie. The hand belongs to Anna - main character.

Whoaaaaaaa.....that's different. In terms of the image, it makes the person in focus seem like the main character, when the owner of the hand is the true focus of the story. Well done to disguise the true story behind the art. Will watch ASAP XD

Nick-Ian In reply to tran135 [2015-08-01 08:11:07 +0000 UTC]

Hehe! To me, Marnie is the true star of the movie. I mean it's titled after her name!

thanks so much! i wanted to draw the whole house by the marsh, but decided not too. I'd need to draw straight lines for that and be more accurate about it - which i don't have the patience to.

Awesome like always Ian!
I love how it looks so dream-like
And you've made me curious about this one. (It first didn't draw my attention that much like the other ones had)

The blue makes this whole picture seem so calm and makes me want to find a marsh and a house.

I didn't cry. But it is sad. It just takes A LOT for a movie to make me cry. *manly laugh*

It looks really nice, dream like. The expression and mood are somber, probably even more emotions for those who saw the film.

Nick-Ian In reply to Sheherzad [2015-07-30 12:17:00 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much! I had the movie's feel in mind when I made this. Or maybe I just suddenly added the ripples because I wanted to cover how bad I draw straight lines. I hate using rulers.
