Description I know I'm a bit behind the times with this one, but I watched Ponyo for the first time recently. It was much better than I expected! I know I can't be the only one who thought Fujimoto was a total creeper. And yet somehow he was also really cool.

Still trying to get the hang of watercolour... but I think I'd be better off just sticking with acrylic.

So much... COLOUR. D:

Haha, yeah, I thought Fujimoto was cool too even though he's a creeper! I love your version of this character!

I know I'm a bit behind the times on this, but I just wanted to say that when I saw this, I thought that it was an Amano piece. Great job, and lovely use of color.

You are too humble. The resemblance is uncanny.

I watched this only a few weeks ago.. it was so amazing! I love Ponyo's Kaa-san...you should draw her too! It was a sweet story...

Wow, that looks beeeeautiful and swirly and watercolory...how ideal for Fujimoto, who looks perfect...I adore his hair. :3 I instantly fell in love with that guy...he just immediately struck me as an incredible bundle of cute and awesome. Though there were dozens of other things I loved about the movie, he easily wound up being my favorite part--and, totally unforeseen, I became utterly obsessed with him. XD Hehe...that's a lovely pic that captures his essence well. ^^
And I got him on the DVD quiz, too.

Thank you very much for the long comment! (I don't get many. D: )

Yeah, I thought he made the movie. I'd like a movie just about him and how he forsook the humans.

Thank you for the favourite too!

Aww, that's a shame, you deserve them. ^^ Although I didn't even really intend for it to be that long, lol. But you're very welcome!

I SO SO TOTALLY AGREE. I know Miyazaki's getting older and he may not plan on making tooo many more things, but he's GOT to do something else with Ponyo...I MUST know more about Fuji!!! >:-} I loooved all the beautiful underwater animation and sea life and a million other things about the movie, but he definitely turned out to be the best part of it by far.

Yes, Fujimoto was a bit of a creeper but he was adorable too
I bought the DVD and there's a game with it so that you can see which character you are and I got Fujimoto

PhantomSeptember In reply to FreakieGeekie [2011-01-13 07:14:38 +0000 UTC]

I agree.

Really? That's awesome. I'll have to check it out. I hadn't bothered looking at the special features. I guess I should check them out on my DVDs more often.

Thank you for the favourite too.

Also, you're wonderful with watercolors. I can never get them right. I always have bleeding and it looks terrible.

Yes, it also talks about some of Miyazaki's other movies. Though I was disappointed that it has Howl's castle but you can't go to it to hear about it

PhantomSeptember In reply to FreakieGeekie [2011-01-13 07:48:02 +0000 UTC]

XD Thank you! I hardly ever use them because they do the same thing to me and bleed everywhere.

Awesome! Thanks.

He's a really cool creeper. Who has awesome awesome hair.

I'm not sure I like the splashes of orange on his hands (it seems to flatten the image for me) but the colours are awesome! The jellyfish in the bottom right corner looks especially voluminous!

PhantomSeptember In reply to LeikEerie [2010-12-11 23:55:18 +0000 UTC]

Oh... the orange thing in his hands was supposed to be like a baby pupa kind of Ponyo. XD But yeah, it didn't turn out as well as I would have liked.

pump-kin-pie [2010-11-17 12:35:55 +0000 UTC]

oh boy. that red hair absolutely rocks!

I like the movie mainly because of the sea creatures and Fujimoto (although he is a bit of a creepster).

My toddler's favorite movies are Miyazaki-san's (and Princess and the Frog and The Aristocats, but we won't go there). And, don't worry, I though Fujimoto was a creeper as well.

I think you will. You are better at it than I am. I cannot stop the colors from bleeding all over the place. My mother accuses me of murdering them. XD

PhantomSeptember In reply to Persnicketese [2010-09-25 03:34:23 +0000 UTC]

I think it's because there's a lot of prep work and then you can't just paint it all in one go... there's a lot of waiting in between as different portions dry? Kind of tedious I think, but I'm gonna keep practicing.

WOAH! O_O I can't believe I missed this...you must have posted it after I went to bed last night or something.
The colour scheme works really well, and I actually like the watercolours? They lend it a cool organic-y feel.

I guess I oughta see Ponyo now, too...

After watching it, I felt like it was more than that. But granted... not even going to the workshop and seeing the original production sketches made me want to watch it. XD

If I tell you there's this guy (pictured) who is a hilarious creeper sea wizard dude in it who wears makeup... then would you watch it? XD

Can't tempt me with handsome creepers. XP

But i'll consider it since a lot of people seem to like it. And to annoy one of my friends.
