Description I used watercolour for this one
I wanted to draw her in the forest with a good light, not being sure how i would color the spores, and finally let them white

Well, I'll be damned!
There's no way I'm not favouriting this!

I sadly only got to watch Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind just a couple weeks ago. My first watch.
But... I have no words to describe how much I loved the movie. I loved the characters, I love the enviroment, I loved the theme in general... everything about it was just so special, you know?

So no way I'm gonna let this one go! I'm faving, not only because of what it contains, but also because of how it is made.
YES.
You, whoever you are, have done a great job to capture the movie's atmosphere of when Nausicaa goes exploring the Fukui forests. Yeah, okay, you forgot to put her mask on, but I can live without that.
The rest? If I'm being honest, this almost looks like a screenshot taken directly from the movie, It is that good! Congratulations!

Man, those giant dandelion spores make me wanna see the jungle for myself.
'Tis a shame that the air is toxic there though.

That's great!!The only thing i'm not sure about is the blue fabric of her clothing.On the one hand,i think the blue should be a bit lighter,as depicted in Miyazaki's colorings.On the other hand it does stress the striking color of the Ohmu blood.
Anyway,it's a stunning piece of art!

actually I wanted to do something lighter, to go with the light, but i kind of screw it ^^'
with such a light, it can't be the original color

totally awesome!

I love the watercoloring and it looks very professional. I think you made the right choice leaving it white as it doesn't interfere with the surrounding sunlight that's piercing through the trees.
