First thing's first: Today is April 16th. It's the 20th Anniversary of 2 StudioGhibli Movies: Tonari No Totoro & Hotaru no Haka. I wanted to celebrate that with this wall *throws confetti all around*

Second thing: This was supposed to have a different title but I was told not many people would understand its true meaning ( T_T Am I that weird?!). My planned title was: 'Mommy, I don't wanna go on the slide anymore' (How many of you understand what I mean? Tell me in the comment *hope*)

Now, for the wall itself: When I first found the scan I wanted to just recreate the scene like in the Nausicaa work, but somewhere in the middle of Mei's lineart I got this idea of a slightly pop-artish approach to the wall. This is the result - personally I like the lively colours so hopefully you will also. I admit I went overboard with the patterns, but it looks funkeh so it's good. Well not much to say - it didn't really take too much time - it's more of a concept work than a hardcore masterpiece.

For all those who didn't see Totoro: The girl's name is Mei and the big hairy thing is Oh!Totoro which is most proud of its mouth (how can that be I wonder...?)

Details:
Layers: I don't know the same amount os there are different colours on the scan + 2

Sidenote: I lol'ed most of the time while doing this
