Fan Art Friday: Ponyo, Kiki form Kiki's Delivery Service and Chihiro from Spriited Away written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, Kaoru from Rurouni Kenshin by Nobuhiro Watsuki and Subaru and Hokuto from Tokyo Babylon by CLAMP

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be showing you three fan arts. All of these fan arts are all in colouring pencils also I thought that it would be interesting to show these characters in child-form.

The first one is of Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service, Ponyo and Chihiro from Spirited Away.  All of them were written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.  The first one I saw was Spirited Away. The DVD was a birthday gift from a very good friend of mine. It's probably movie that I haven't gotten tired of. The music is brilliant too. Kiki's Delivery Serivce was another movie that I really enjoyed too. This movie made me smile and it made me wonder what if a postman or post-lady used a alternative vehicle which is smiliar to Kiki's one to deliver the post? I think that would be interesting. I have yet to see Ponyo but I will definitely watch it.:

























The next fan art is of Kaoru from the anime and manga Rurouni Kenshin by Nobuhiro Watsuki. I first came across this series when I was either 17 or 18. It was another manga that I found at my local library and I loved and adored the story. I was fascinated of the concept of how it was set during the past of Japan. In this case it was the Meiji Period. Kaoru is a teacher of a kendo school and she and her family have a long history of a particular Kendo technique that can be only taught. At some point she bumps into Kenshin. I can't say what happens you'll have to read the manga to find out. The anime was impressive too. I watched most of the episodes up to a certain point. This was due to the fact that some of the plot was not corresponding to the manga. Back then I had read so much of this series as a manha that I assumed that it would be the same thing in the anime. Today, I realise that maybe this was done because at the time when the anime was released the manga was still being released. I got roughly a couple of volumes to finish the manga. I'm on the last arc of the series and I'm loving it so far:

























The third and final art for today is of Subaru and Hokuto from the manga Tokyo Babylon by CLAMP. Both of them are twins. This was another manga that I found at my library. I was in university when I read this series and It's a favourite of mine. It left me with a lasting impression on how I viewed one of the characters of the story. Although it has been a while since I've read this series I remember the plot very well. This manga made me admire CLAMP a whole lot more. In the manga both of these characters are teenagers. Plus the purple thing that I made in the background was something that I created out of my head. Looking at this drawing I've realised that it could be a hint of  a foreshadow. In the story. PLEASE read this manga. It's really great. :) :




























There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting my blog and please leave a comment. Enjoy your weekend everyone! ;)
