Oh, how lovely! It's so peaceful, with such a grand sense of space, and has a childrens-book illustration quality to it as well, perfect for the source canon. :)

Thank you so much!

Ah, I love this, and not just because it's watercolour (which is totally in line with Ponyo, right?). It actually reminds me a lot of the little drawings and watercolours in the Ghibli museum that's made up like Miyazaki's studio. It's nice how you used symbols in place of the characters. Also, my ticket from the museum had Ponyo in her bucket, so you get unintended-double-sap-love from me.

*sits on hands for reveal so she can look at more watercolours from you*

Eee, that's perfect! I'm so glad, and so glad you liked it. This is my first watercolor in, er, quite some time (my initial idea, which was brilliant in concept, was a disaster in execution) so I'm terribly glad you liked it.

I was hoping to see some illustrative work when Ponyo was nominated, so it totally made my day! I totally love it, and I'm a rather obvious fan of watercolours to boot. xD For not having done them in a while, this turned out so nice. ♥ I usually end up tearing expensive paper in rage when I take too long a break, haha.

I'm so glad! I can send you the un-watermarked image too, if you want. ♥ I can never bear to do it, I always save it for collages I never do or something...

[cerine.livejournal.com]

Oh, that would be wonderful, if it's not too much trouble! *w* Haha, I get temperamental, I guess? xD I usually only save a junked painting if it still has a clean back to paint on.

I'm masochistic. Or cheap. Here's the full-size scan, (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C2BE5QJA) sorry it took so long!

oooh, dear Artist, this is so beautiful!

*adores*

and the atmosphere is so damn gorgeous...

I'm not familiar with this fandom, but I absolutely love this <33333

Thank you!

That is really beautiful. I love the colors and your style.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I don't know anything about the fandom but this is lovely. I have such a weakness for watercolours.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Ponyo is an awesome movie-- the other piece from this year is more like the movie's style, though!

[hypertwink.livejournal.com]

I like that you evoked the essence of the film.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

The watercolor looks great. I like the colors on the rocks on the right. And the angle is interesting, great pic!

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much!

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

Such pretty delicate watercolour!

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

Ooooh how beautiful! I love that it's referenced from a real village, it just somehow makes your Ponyo version look all the more fantasy/magical. The watercolour washes are so lovely contrasted against the wood walkway!

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

This is so sweet. I love how watercolors look for landscapes. Very well done, and I like the bucket.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[heartequals.livejournal.com]

i love this!

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, this is gorgeous. Watercolor yes?
What an stunning landscape! Very very nice!

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is!

Thanks so much!
