Favourite Artist Post 5

Recently, I've signed myself back up to DeviantART to display my work.  I was on that site when I was much younger and didn't really have a good enough grasp on basic drawing, now I'm much more confident in my abilities and am able to navigate the site effectively.  One of the perks of being able to use a site like that to its full potential is the fact that it's much easier to find other artists that appeal to my interests.

It just so happens that I came across an artist whose style I find really interesting.  It is a little dark, almost macabre in the way she paints almost like something Tim Burton himself would do.  She is known on DeviantART as IrenHorrors.



I love the use of her lines in these images, it looks to me as if she's used a calligraphy pen to complete the look, which I find really beautiful.

Links to my pages

Hello!

I realise that just one blog really isn't enough these days, what with so many people using the internet.  If I want to get anywhere with publishing my work online I need to cover most social networking platforms!  So to those who are interested you can find my work on various different sites scattered across the internet.

They are:

One of my all time favourite animators is Hayao Miyazaki who is the founder of Studio Ghibli in Japan.  Studio Ghibli is almost like the Disney of the Eastern world, but I find his animation to be so beautiful and smooth it's envious.

A few of my favourite films of theirs is My Neighbour Totoro


Spirited Away


Howl's Moving Castle


and Arrietty

The thing I love most about these films may be the way they animate the food, it looks delicious enough that it makes you hungry!  I think they're just so smooth and flawless it's hard to find another animation company to compare it to.
