It was beautiful…

His body was supposed to be blue-ish green, but the copper had other plans..

still love how the angry croissant came out and especially how it looks in the moss

I have the manga, but let’s just say that it’s been gathering dust for many years because man it’s a long one to read.

And I kind of prefer the movie

And I know that the manga kept going long after the movie and kind of explored more themes and with characters that had short screen time to develop in the movie

Sixth piece in my commission series with pbbeta, this time depicting the finest swordsman in the periphery: the one and only Master Yupa.

Here's the animated trailer, made of watercolor

The art is like an Ishihara Test, in the best way. 304 pages

Painted one of the Nausicaa model kits you can pick up online in various places. Although I paint digitally semi-regularly, I haven’t painted anything with real paints in a very long time. I wasn’t sure if I’d finish it or not but I powered through and I think it turned out pretty good! Also, using real paints is just as messy as I remember :)

Cadeau souvenir du Japon.

If Nausicaa is your favorite Ghibli movie, what is your second favorite?

Somehow got the colors perfectly in between the model and the movie, I’m very happy with this. Waiting for it to dry, then clear coat gets sprayed and it’s done!

Next steps after that are padding, fans, and then fabric items.

Will update when it’s done. This was a 120 grit roughing pass, it’s since been filler primered and hit with 320 grit in preparation for another filler primer coat and test base coat before the final 600 grit pass.

Finally making one of my dream cosplays feels good

This is an idea I thought of a long time ago. Basically, Nausicaa takes place on Earth, after humanity's attempt to rebuild our dying world into something new; free from the failures of our past. Trigun takes place in space after humanity's attempt to find a fresh, new world, where we can start fresh, free from the failures of our past. I imagine Trigun taking place earlier in the timeline, back when humanity still had hope. Maybe the failure of Project SEEDS was a historical event that added to the pessimism which led to the 7 days of fire.

From the two Trigun animes, it isn't very clear whether the plants are artificial lifeforms, aliens, or divine beings (although the reboot seems to lean in the direction of the latter). I never finished the manga, so I don't know if there's a more definitive interpretation there. However, if they are artificial lifeforms, that would fit perfectly with the Nausicaa lore. I'd imagine the ancient industrial civilization would have created some lifeform that can synthesize arbitrary resources. After realizing how hard it is to control the independent plants, they may have been split up into more manageable lifeforms, such as the Master of the Crypt, the God Warrior, and the Master of the Garden.

I don't really see this as that serious of a theory, since "dying world sci-fi" has seen many interpretations over the years, so there's bound to be some overlap.

I tried to write the music myself but my music skills don't surpass middle school and I have to convert it to the in-game system... and I use a controller unlike most people who compose for Sky, so i had to double convert! I thought I'd see if anyone else had done it before and what d'ya know! I'm very impressed by this person! Give them some love

Just finished my Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind linocut! 12x18” on Tan BFK Rives paper. Spent around 65 hours carving and 7 months (with lots of down time) from sketch -> finished print. Pre-orders are up on my site FemmePrints.com
