Chihiro's Courage

Description

Just a quick thing I worked on last night. Literally only took me an hour to do, since it was a spur of the moment type of thing.

No references were used so I already know what mistakes there are. I don't need anyone to point them out ^^
But I still tried to keep the colors as close to the movie as possible. I think it went pretty well!

Haven't watched Spirited Away recently, but for some reason I was thinking of the movie last night, and then this idea popped into my mind. It's my interpretation of when Chihiro arrives to the boiler room. While it's not conveyed in the movie, I always thought that if I were her, I'd be so scared to be in a place like that, all by myself.

So this is representing the idea of Chihiro showing her more defenseless side, and out of all the sootballs that work in the boiler room, only one was willing to approach her, and give her some star candy to say "It's alright."

IDK, I was in an EXTREMELY cheesy mood last night. That's what happens when you get slap happy from staying the house for three days straight xD

Everything was colored in Photoshop CS3 with a mouse. Again, too lazy to go dig out the tablet. I had the most fun drawing the sootball! I actually can't wait to draw more of them~ :heart:
