"I think I have a Crush on the Baron"

Is what I wanted to title this, but alas it was too long, and the title doesn't allow for any kind of punctuation. I'm at a loss as to why we are forbidden from using correct grammar to title submissions. But this is a direct quote from the film, so hopefully anyone who has seen 'The Cat Returns' will get my rather pathetic little injoke.

Whenever I scan something, I look upon it with a varying degree of distaste. Even if I'm initially satisfied with the result, I know it'll only take a week before it looks horrendous. But I know it's all part of the process, looking ahead to when I'll have learned enough to make drawings I'll be genuinely pleased with.

For a change though, I like this. It actually came out the way I hoped it would. I pay the majority of the credit to it being a pre-existing character that I already had an image of in my mind, so I couldn't find any flaws in the character design. With the Baron's personality comes the implication for the pose, so that can also escape general criticism. For the most part I'm even happy with the paintwork; I think it's about as good as my current level of skill will allow, but I will aim to improve it in the future. The simplistic colour scheme made it an easy one though.

My point is, I am quite fond of this ^_^ based almost entirely on the fact that it's the Baron, and he's such a hero. I give Miyazaki the credit.

Baron Humbert Von Jikkengen, 'The Cat Returns' / 'Whispers of the Heart' copyright to Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli.

This looks a still from the movie. You really captured Baron's charm, which feels strange for me to say because he's a cat with a human body.
