The Secret World of Arrietty
14 years ago
General
If you miss seeing Arrietty in theaters, you're doing yourself a huge disservice. It's one of the most beautiful animated films I've ever seen. I especially loved the backgrounds....Studio Ghibli always paints fantastic backgrounds and these must be among their finest. And they've paid so much attention and forethought to the differences in physics between the human sized world and the microcosm. The characters were endearing, the story was engaging and all the bugs were absolutely adorable. See it soon!

Jambo, Everyone!
I've started a new stuffing comic for donations, and page 1 is free! You can see that here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7324779/ Page 2 is also available this month for a $10 donation, and you can get it here: http://www.jackal86.100megs8.com/Du.....te/donate.html I hope you'll like it :)
Thank you for your help!
I also have an important policy update:
As of right now, I am no longer able to take checks or money orders as payment for commissions or donations. Until further notice, my only method of payment is PayPal.
Again, thanks so much to everyone who has watched me this past month! *shakes paws*
When will there be more of this?
A word about my commissions: I get a lot of similar questions about the pictures I post here and on my site; people ask if I'm going to continue a certain comic series or take the project from line art to color in the near future. Please, read the description of the image; if it's listed as a "commission", that means someone paid me to draw it for them. I personally had nothing to do with the characters or what's happing in the picture/comic, I just drew what was described for me. If the person paid for 3 comic pages, we did 3. If they paid for line art only, that's what I did for them. I'm truly flattered that folks are so keen on these pieces, but it's not up to me in any way to make more for the set or scenario. If there is to be more added to a project, it's up to the person who bought it to commission more.
And in regard to making additions as a request instead of a commission, I regret that my financial situation will not allow me to take requests at this time. I can't even get my own projects done right now.

We don't get many chances at seeing these movies in theaters either. The only other one I'd seen was Mononoke, which has always been my favorite alongside Totoro. But Arrietty will definitely be in my top 3, it was fantastic :)
And the story that it told was really interesting - it was day to day life from the perspective of a sentient prey species, essentially what the Borrowers were. It was told as it would actually be - long hours of peace, changing fortunes, lots of subsurface conflict as to what the best way to go forward will be - and the rare moment of blind terror.
Absolutely loved the crow. It acted pretty much like a smart predator would, even if it did end up a butt monkey. ^.^
