I think the reason I enjoy Ghibli so much is it romanticizes the little things. It makes me want to bake, study, clean the house, garden, and more while listening to happy music and occasionally picking wildflowers and lying in the grass. It helps me find joy in day-to-day life and that’s honestly sooo important for my mental health.

Hayao Miyazaki has said on numerous occasions that he wants children to know that even when the world seems harsh and life is hard, it is always still worth living, and there is always something beautiful in it.

That mental health boost is intentional and Miyazaki wants you to believe that you should continue to live, even if just for those little things.

Wood Keychains are available!! These make great for Christmas presents ;D (if they are I can wrap them for no extra cost~~) email me at [email protected] if you’re interested!!! (What is being offered are the first picture, the rest are examples of finished peices)

Hey everyone, so I’m trying to see how this works out, these prices probably won’t be permanent (they may go up depending on how much effort this all actually ends up taking haha) but here is a first round of attempts! (I will do them in batches, hopefully one batch a week depending on how busy my school’s laser lab is)

Any species can be done and I may have to simplify certain aspects of your character due to the nature of the process and materials. I can alter facial expressions etc if you want. 

Design 1- $7 Designs 2 and 3- $10

+$7 to add paint

Shipping will be $3 (in the US)

SPECIALS: If you wanted multiple keychains of the same design they are %50 off! So basically they’re half price if I don’t need to redraw a new design (painting will still be the same price if you choose for it to be painted, can be the same or different color scheme)

If you want all three designs (can be different characters) it will only be $25 and free shipping!

Keyrings are included, but it is +$2 if you want a keychain clip thingy (currently trying to find a good place to get then where they aren’t so expensive)

Feel free to email me about designs you may be interested in that are not above! Or for bigger peices etc 

PayPal only please!

It’s been a long time coming, but I hunkered down and worked up the energy needed to finish texturing this model in time for a Tuesday update, woohoo!

The common grunt of Kobold horde, the Sniffer is neither too bright nor much of a match for a young and determined dragon, but for what they lack in strength they make up with sheer numbers… and an troublesome degree of mischief-making. Just check out those crazy eyes!

There’s some parts that need refining, but overall I’m really happy with the texturing and the handful of animations I’ve made for this enemy unit. Weekly updates are a go-go again, so be sure to keep your eyeballs peeled for concept art and additional animation renders every Monday or Tuesday!

can you do a tutorial on how to draw swords? Idk if you really can but just wondering. I should probably practice drawing objects more but i always have a hard time drawing swords :\\

the two main things i’d try to focus on would be learning the general anatomy of a sword and figuring out how those parts can be simplified into 3d shapes!

by just googling the words “sword anatomy” i’ve found a couple sites that go over the different parts of a sword and their functions

(they all focus more on european swords so i’m focusing this post more on european swords as well because they’re kind of the “generic/default” type of sword. for other swords though you can probably just find the name of the type of the sword you want to draw and google about it eg. i googled “katana parts” and found these resources. if you want to be hardcore you can go to a library or something and read books about swords)

to sum it up though swords are basically like this:

and then the next part is just breaking things down into 3d shapes so that they’re easier to draw at different angles and stuff

(simplifying a sword into a pole or something also makes it a lot easier to pose onto a character)

there are all kinds of swords so in general i think it’s good to just keep an observant eye out for things like distinct shapes and details and stuff, and (most importantly) to actually apply and experiment with your observations in your art!

It’s really helpful to see in motion; how they attach, stretch and deform accordingly

One must have a mind of winter To regard the frost and the boughs Of the pine-trees crusted with snow; And have been cold a long time To behold the junipers shagged with ice, The spruces rough in the distant glitter Of the January sun; and not to think Of any misery in the sound of the wind, In the sound of a few leaves, Which is the sound of the land Full of the same wind That is blowing in the same bare place For the listener, who listens in the snow, And, nothing himself, beholds Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

Super nice things to do for someone who has depression

- Chances are their room is a disaster and they have -846 motivation to do anything about it. Helping them tidy up will make them feel a little less overwhelmed. 

- Do their laundry. Even small chores seem to pile up when a person is depressed and not having clean clothes won’t make them feel any better. Washing their bedding is also great.

- Try to convince them to go for a short walk with you. There is a good chance they will feel a lot better after.

- If you can’t get them outside, at least open a window for fresh air and let some sunshine in.

- Prepare them a healthy meal with some fresh fruit. Many depressed people fall into bad eating patterns. 

- If they aren’t eating enough, make sure they are taking a multi vitamin since not getting enough of a vitamin causes depression

- Make them a warm, nice smelling bath. Aromatherapy is a great way to treat depression and anxiety. 

- Write them a letter or card to read for when they’re feeling really bad.

- Make them a recovery playlist with some of their favourite songs and anything up lifting.

- Make them laugh.

- Make them a cup of tea and sit with them.

- Listen to them and try to understand what they’re feeling.
