Turnip Head and the dog

decided to keep this one simple, so i sketched it literaly for a minute,scanned and colored in photoshop... made the background with artrage,since photoshop's brushes are too weak

anyways,this is my first fanart ever...its of an anime by my favorite studio ghibli- Howl's moving castle. I actually watched it on google video and here is a link before they take it down:

and a mirror(better quality) :

and yes,thats christian bale's voice as howl and billy crystal's as calcifer

its is really worth the time,hey

these two are called- turnip head (the scarecrow) and Heen (the dog) - my favorite characters (designwise).. I have a weak spot for scarecrows and the dog reminded me of miyazaki himself (its like a caricature of miyazaki)..i thought that was pretty funny,hihi
