January 5th was Hayao Miyazaki‘s 70th birthday! Add @MartinHsu‘s lovely tweet to the mix:

@flyindreams @debaoki Glad we got to celebrate Miyazaki-sensei’s birthday! May he live another 430 years and turn into a silvery dragon!

…and this is the result. I couldn’t resist walling everyone’s favorite silvery dragon! Haku’s outlines vectored-extended from this scan, and then I mouse-painted the colors in for a bit of a vectoring break. I loved how the colors turned out and really, really wanted to keep this wall texture-free, but once I added the awesome brush in the background from MouritsaDA-Stock I had to go with the textured version, ’cause I wanted the wall to look like ukiyo-e. Since it was really hard for me to decide which of the various textureless and brushless versions to feature, I’ve zipped them all up for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

This is also for the Inspiration LOVES Project @ Simple-ism!
