One thing for those who have watched The Boy and The Heron or will watch it. The Japanese title for it is How Do You Live? And Miyazaki stated he was leaving it for his grandson, saying, "Grandpa is moving onto the next world soon but he is leaving behind this film".

The deaths of contemporaries and friends such as Satoshi Kon and Isao Takahata and also the expected successor of Yoshifumi Kondo were things that have always weighed heavily on the back of Miyazaki's mind.

He recognizes the industry and the occupation for how soul crushing it was, grinding up either the spirit or the physical body of those who work in it. He loves and hates the industry he stands on the peak of and fully recognizes how it will probably be the death of him. And he knows it'll leave him unable to say a lot of things to his Grandson.

So How Do You Live? is a lesson. For his grandson. For himself. For his two sons. And probably for anyone else willing to pay attention.

Hayao Miyazaki is a flawed man that makes things so important to so many people. And I think more than any other film of his, in this you get to pull back the curtain a bit and see him at work. And what should be this giant unblemished titan can be seen for what he is, a sad old man who had higher hopes for himself and has even higher hopes for the people he makes his work for.

It's a beautiful thing to see another's humanity in their work. To look past the artifice and glam of commercialized art and find humans behind it. And humans willing to show their humanity and mortality is even rarer. And something to be celebrated. So when you watch it. Or if you've watched it already. Understand that this film is Miyazaki kneeling down, weary after years of weaving dreams and making mistakes, reaching out and saying to you that he hopes you can do better. It's an old man who's made all the mistakes of the world passing it on to you, hoping you do better, and making sure you know it's okay if you don't.

How do you Live? By making mistakes. By messing up. But still moving forward. And still reaching out.

#the boy and the heron #how do you live #hayao miyazaki #i love you old man #i know you'll be back but if we're talking to each other through screens then thanks #if the wind rises was him exposing his mistakes then this is his apology #i really dislike the popularization of ideas like “parasocial relationships” and “seperate the art from the artist” and how it seeps into #the discussion of art. While people should be maintaining a detachment from people they don't know I think blunting arts impact by not #acknowledging the human behind it is a disservice to art. And you lose the beauty behind someone as flawed as you making something beautiful

haha wow art that totally didn’t take 6 hours hahahaha

#was so close to giving up #sampo koski #sparkle hsr #hanabi hsr #hsr #masked fools #giovanni hsr #anyways gonna ramble about what I was thinking #this is supposed to be the tavern and they have screens where they broadcast others performances (Sampo’s monologue made it seem like #the person behind the screen saw his performance #also he doesn’t have his mask (entry ticket to the tavern) so he isn’t physically present #but rather showing the events of Belobog #sparkle is in the front because she seems to like being the focus #(for example the bp where she wants the audience to keep their eyes on her while sampo wants the audience to be part of the show)#Giovanni is just there because I like him #I would’ve drawn zhongshan too but I didn’t know where to place her sorry #my art

Oni ni Kanabo! (my first time experimenting with physical screentone!!)

I thought the rough media look suited her(the manga master) for this one so intentionally left parts of the original sketch... but here's some cleaner scans anyway!

...and also a photo of her on my work table!!

#avataro sentai donbrothers #donbrothers #oni sister #haruka kitou #fan art #super sentai #ink drawing #comic art #screen tones #realized i'd never actually drawn the fave super nicely!!!!#so she gets a little bit of manga technique eehehe #adding her to the little collection of hero art on my wall #turns out screen tones are really easy to apply!!!#extremely hard to get your hands on in my area though....#i would recommend them!!! we should make them popular so i can buy them in a store lmao!#the deleter jr sheets were so easy to cut and they are much clearer than i thought so they didn't affect the visibility of the ink or color #was debating on adding an ink flash behind her but decided that i like the sketching for her eehehe

Such a missed opportunity to tie Huey’s fear of the unknown & Ducktales strong themes revolving family & not using it for an arc for him

Bc like what do you mean you’re Comparing Huey to Fethry, someone who Scrooge & Donald clearly ignored & he spent like years in that deep sea laboratory alone 😭😭😭 LIKE I cannot let that go

How would that not freak a little kid out. Like here’s this family member that I’m clearly like and I’ve been compared to & what does that say about my future relationship & role in this family

#txt #tie this into him desperately trying to be fenton’s side kick #& trying to find a place bc he doesn’t want to get left behind #this is me coming up with a concept for the season of Huey Duck byeeee #ESPECIALLY IF YOU TIED BOYD INTO IT TOOO #like it would have given Boyd more screen time :(#I’m thinking maybe I’ll flesh everything out more when I rewatch from beginning to end #planning on reading the art book side by side as I rewatch

something soft ive been working on for @redminibike1 in the between-moments at work. based on A Scene from their story The More I See You -- a tale of class and bookshops and the 1920s that pays absolutely NO rent in my heart and deserves its spot amongst your repertoire Red my darling!! 💓💞

#not pictured: the trousers that cody blue-screens over #i absolutely envisioned obi sitting like he does in his council chair behind the front desk in this.#leg atop knee. smart shoes pointed up as he reads. if cody could see THAT ooofufhhffj #(also. s-sorry for my *im scrambling on the floor trying to pick something up* --my britishness is showing ssorry)#(LOVE IS STORED IN THE CUP OF TEA!!!!)#obi wan kenobi #commander cody #sw cody #codywan #star wars #aqua's art fart #aqua.jpg #redminibike1 #500 #1000
