Howl's moving castle where everything is the same except we get both Michaels-

#technically one's MARKL and the other Michael #but they would be have been named Michael and be referred to as the two michaels #they call the little one markl because he was a baby when Howl found him and Michael baby Markl couldn't pronounce Michael so Markl stuck #howls moving castle #howls moving castle books #hmc #hmc books #michael fisher #markl

Sophie Hatter and Lucy Gringe/Heap should be best friends. They are very similar I don't think the Castle nor Ingary could survive them but I would be very happy.

Meanwhile Howl would be having a weird eye contact game with Marcellus Pye to determine who is the more vain and dramatic (and Howl would win because he is the most dramatic and vain AND because he punches people who kidnap children while Marcellus kidnaps them).

A lil practice in perspective with this piece mostly, so here's Howl and Sophie, who I designed based 50/50 on their book and movie counterparts! I actually would love to revisit this piece and paring in the future, since the book is one of my all time favs

Im sick with flu so naturally I picked up my newly bought copy of Howl's Moving Castle which includes DWJ interviews in the back.

And im in love with the way she tells these stories feels like a part of her books.

And my favorite:

The magic in the mundane :)

edit: I'm copying the ID by @princess-of-purple-prose below, thank you!

[ID: Excerpts of printed text which read:

I suppose there's also a biographical element in that Sophie is the eldest of three sisters, and so am I. The idea for Sophie grew out of the time I discovered I had a very severe milk allergy. I almost lost the use of my legs and had to walk with the aid of a stick. I was moderately young, but because of this I suddenly became old.

I had to wait until I knew what Wizard Howl was like. I began to discover Howl about the time when one of my sons took to spending several hours in the bathroom every morning and I got really, really, really annoyed with him.

Where were you when you wrote it? I wrote the book the way I write everything, stretched out on the big sofa in my sitting room, in everyone's way. This often annoys my husband rather a lot.

which made me burst out laughing. I laughed and laughed at the seven league boot, and when I came to the bit where Sophie accidentally makes Howl's suit twenty times too big for him, I laughed so much that I fell off the sofa. My husband was really irritated by this time. He snapped, "You can't be making yourself laugh!" And I gasped, "But I am, I am!" and rolled about on the floor.

Are any of your relatives or friends included in the book? Yes, well the thing that started me off writing the book was a friend of mine who never does her laundry. She has it around the place in huge bags for often as much as a year. When she does tip it all out and try to wash it, she discovers all sorts of clothes that she has forgotten she had.

Which is your favourite part of the book and why? I like the book all over, but I suppose if I had to choose a bit, I'd choose the place where Howl gets a cold. It so happened that when I was writing this bit, my husband caught a bad cold. He is the world's most histrionic cold catcher. He moans, he coughs, he piles on the pathos, he makes strange noises, he blows his nose exactly like a bassoon in a tunnel, he demands bacon sandwiches at all hours, and he is liable to appear (usually wrapped in someone else's dressing gown) at any time, announcing that he is dying of neglect and boredom. So all I had to do was write it down. End ID]

@calysto1395 dropped a Howl's Moving Castle AU in our chat and I could not stop thinking about it, so here are some Howl!Law sketches

#one piece #trafalgar law #turned some of his tattoos into feathers #and I know the bird theme is more movie howl than book howl but it works really well in this scenario #was this just an excuse to draw Law in this particular shirt? you'll never know #hmc au #my art

Rip Howl Pendragon, you would’ve loved Korean skincare.

"People need to read the book to see how dramatic book-Howl is!" True, but on top of that, even people who read the book need to read the sequels..

I will never relate to a character harder than I do Howl Jenkins-Pendragon.

He had a choice: Give your heart to a Fire Demon and live in an ever moving castle as you are being hunted by a vicious witch who wishes to consume you

OR

Pay back your student loans

And he chose the former. So real of him. I would done the same, no second thoughts.

So because every Howl’s Moving Castle book cover that isn’t sixty five dollars is in that sort of- gaudy, super saturated, 80s-90s style, I’m making my own. I still need to order the book (cuz I only own the audiobook), get the proper color of fabric, and find some decent gold paint, and once I have obtained all of the proper components, I’m gonna give it the hardcover it deserves. >:3

#I can’t design the spine until I get the actual book so I have the measurements #and I’m gonna try and fit Michael into it somewhere #we’ll see #I do know that I want howl’s coat design (the movie one unfortunately cuz I can’t get triangles to look good) on the majority of the spine #for reasons #tried to emulate like- vintagy book covers #not sure if it worked #but y’know #howls moving castle #hmc #howl #Sophie #howl jenkins pendragon #sophie hatter #howls moving castle cover #howl’s moving castle #calcifer #my art #small artist #artists on tumblr #regular style #digital art #young artist
