Artist's Comments

This is The Baron from two Studio Ghibli films, "Whispers of the Heart" and "The Cat Returns." In the former, he appears as a small sculpture in a curiosity shop. I tried to emulate that sculpture as closely as possible, but approximately five pictures of him exist on the internet, and he looks different in all of them. Most of my reference material was tiny, grainy youtube clips from the movie.

I can't remember how big he is, but I'd say maybe around 8-9" tall if I had to guess. He's made of Super Sculpey, sculpting epoxy, and some random bits of plastic I found lying around, all over an armature made of wire and aluminum foil. The hair in his ears is fake fur and his whiskers are hairs from my cat. His eyes are highly reflective bits of glass that shine wildly when the light hits, and he's painted with acrylics. This is my first attempt at clothes ever, so they're kind of ...umm.

This was a birthday gift for a friend who loves these movies.

Why when people ask you "what three things would you bring with you on a desert island?" no one ever replies, "A BOAT"

Lovely, this looks so very much like him, and he was such a great character. The coat is simply brilliant, it looks like it was right out of the film.

I have the cat returns. You should have had a journal asking people if they had pix. He looks AMAZING all things considered.
