  • Unfortunately for those of us who are not wizards, we gotta make Howl's bedroom the old fashioned way- from scratch with a bunch of trash. So here it finally is, two months in the making.
    Printable books/door locations from this project: drive.google.com/file/d/1_htY... (for scale reference, the Howl figure in this is 2 5/8" tall)
    The editable photoshop document (and all assets from my other projects) will be available over on patreon: / mechanicalfiend
    Check out @missminilife's build of Howl's bedroom! • HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE M...
    @StudsonStudio has built every version of the outside of the castle as well and they are incredible, here's his Ghibli build playlist- • Studio Ghibli Crafts

    The tiny horseshoe on the Studson book! It feels appropriate to put such a cursed item on Howl's bookshelf.

    This is breathtaking! Howl's bedroom is one of the most fascinating sets of the movie and we get to see it for so little time. You managed so well to identify the key elements and then evoke the rest of the wimsical, otherwordly clutter with what you had. The final result just screams Howl and I want to shrink enough to actually enter the tin.

    • @MechanicalFiend
      @MechanicalFiend  Рік тому +4

      Yes! It's been my favorite Ghibli space since I first saw it, just so many beautiful details (for such a short scene!)... though I get it, animating all of that must have been quite the task. I am so honored that you thought so, it's definitely a tricky space to get right. Glad you could enjoy and of course, thank you so much for all the super kind words~

    I've never seen Howl's Moving Castle, but I had the biggest, dopiest smile on my face watching the reveal because of how much love I was witnessing. Your passion for the movie is a joy to watch, even as a total outsider.
    You are an INCREDIBLE crafter and I have been so, so inspired by you. Your solutions, like the bead spacer and masking tape as the gramophone? Absolutely amazing.
    This video has made me so unbelievably excited to get back to my own projects I've had to pause. Just like, literally thank you for being you and for making the things that make you happy. Your joy radiates and I feel better than I did before I clicked on this video.

    I'm so upset that I hadn't watched this before now. This is genuinely beautiful and I'm in awe of how much detail you put in. It's actually incredible.
    But for my favorite character... it's a tough competition between Howl and Calcifer.
    Calcifer is so smarmy and I love that about him.
    With Howl, he and I are very much the same personality wise.
    I want Calcifer as a best friend, I want Howl as my soulmate so it's real tough.
