Artist's Comments

Already finished it! After watching Kiki's Delivery Service last night for the first time in about 4 or 5 months, I've had the urge to draw Kiki!

Guess this one's not even so much a drawing as it is a pure, digital painting. I just started laying blobs of color down and eventually it turned into Kiki... XD

I mainly wanted to give a Miyazaki character a try. I think this is the first bonafied Miyazaki fanart I've done. I've always been afraid to try my hand at it, because it seems there's not much margin for error for his style; if they look off by too much, they almost don't feel like the same character at all... I did kind of take some liberties with her face, but Miyazaki's noses are a big defining trait on his characters, just from the way he draws them, so I tried to at least make sure she had the "right" kind of nose for Kiki... XD I tried not to deviate at all from anything else...

Now... back to work!! o__O

Thank ya!!
Yeah, I hate trying to balance out how much black I use. In this case, I actually used no pure black... Even Jiji is only about 85% black. I figured, she's up in the sunlight, there's really no call for anything to be pure black.

I've always been one to "mute" my darker values. Most of the time it's just because I don't realize it. But since high school I've been pickier about how I balance the lights and darks... XP

I've made my comment known on how you drew Kiki, so I'll comment on the background and damn, what a beautiful BG it is. God, if I wasn't so afraid of heights, I'd want to ride a broom up the sky and just relax.

Thanks again, very much!!!
haha! I don't have a terrible fear of heights myself, but the scope I gave the background and Kiki's relative altitude have actually been making me a bit dizzy... XD Plus, I stuck over top of the ocean... That part shortens my breath too... haha!
