Artist's Comments

So, having watched Howl’s Moving Castle a few weeks ago, then read the book, I came to the conclusion that we kinda need a mix of the two somehow. I mean, the film was good ‘n’ all, but I’d have preferred it more faithful to the book, and Howl was just camp. :| Howl in the book is absolutely brilliant, and the ending’s more adorable than sickening. But I think Howl’s little turning-into-a-blue-bird-monster thing was just too cool to let go, and the cumulative…what…10 seconds of film we get dedicated to the full bird form (apart from at the end, where it just look fat) has spawned a bit of an out-spewage of doodles from me.
Ahh, the last one. This one I did at prize day (bored :XD:) on the programme. Very similar to the versions in Howl - Bird Form 1.
Biro!

Howl’s weird blue bird form is © Hayao Miyazaki, I suppose.
Can I take credit for the “edited” bird form? :XD:

I looked tengus up - and I think you're right. :D Not being up to any speed on Japanese mythology I wouldn't have recognised it, but that definitely sounds like it. :3 Thanks!
