I wanted to go back to the very beginning of what inspired me to start doing environments, and that led me directly to Studio Ghibli's work. Never before had studios paid so much attention to detail and mood in it's backgrounds, and it is in my opinion one of the ways that makes Ghibli films so memorable, from the lush islands of Porco Rosso, to high above rural skies in Totoro they captured everything your heart didn't know it needed.

I know it's not typical to have fanart focused on a location more than the character but here it goes. Fan art of Studio Ghilbi's 'Princess Mononoke', specifically that forest of gods and demons.
