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.

:iconmalmorgan:
Where can that movie be obtained? I can't find it on youtube, so anywhere else would you suggest?
:iconrah-bop:
The Cat Returns is on Netflix... as for whispers of the heart, you may be able to find it through your local library or movie rental places, and typically if they don't have it they can get it through another library/store, so ask if they can borrow it. If that doesn't work, uuuungh you may be able to look at places like crunchyroll.com or animefuel.com...? dunno.
