2022 was a trying year if I'm being honest. There were ups and downs, and we had many stressful events throughout it within my family. But while all of that happened, I wanted to try some movies I hadn't watch by then. Some were released around that time, others were movies that were already there. It was surprising to discover hidden treasures in the cinema industry, and I felt very fond to them. These movies helped me to keep going and to have my spirit and mood lifted. So, I wanted to draw them a Fanart as a tribute, freely inspired on the Six Fanart Challenge template by Melissa Capriglione.

Featuring here:

- "Ryuu to Sobakasu no Hime or Belle", drawing finished at January 6 of 2023.

- "The Bad Guys" Finished at February 2 of 2023.

- "The Sea Beast" Finished at February 4 of 2023.

- "The Last Unicorn" Finished at February 9 of 2023.

- "Neko no Ongaeshi or The Cat Returns" Finished at February 15 of 2023.

- "Mune, Le Gardien de la Lune" Finished at February 17 of 2023.

And I don't really know how much more time I'll have to do my own fanarts. But I really hope that I enjoy and take advantage of everything I'll learn this year. Only that maybe it would be more pleasant and less hard to bear if I wasn't so badly sick of my throat and if I shouldn't have my first class at 7 a.m. with cold weather.

"Perhaps I misjudged you. Forgive me; you really are the guardian of the moon."

And finally this movie. I found it by chance and it brought up my attention. Especially it's unique animation, artstyle, the World building and the sense of epic myth storytelling. I can confirm this is much more alike the innocent and simple fairytales with which I grew up with when I was a child. I feel like many movies are missing that out today. If we could only tell stories as simple as that, without making it more complex than simplicity is already giving us...

I fell in love with all of the characters, especially the three protagonists. And Mune is so cute! The villain is a bit meh, but whatever, I'm just here for the ride to accompany our three little friends in their journey.

"I don't know how the war started. Maybe all that matters is how it ends."

This movie came out just a day before my entry exam, which I sadly didn't pass. After a very exhausting week in which my whole family got covid except for me and my nearest older brother, and I had to be in charge of everything and to not get sick before my exam, I surely needed a comfort. The Sea Beast came just in time for that.

I was super excited for its release since I saw the trailer, and I wasn't wrong when I knew it would excite that adventurous side I have. Since I read Louis Stevenson's masterpiece, Treasure Island and saw it's adaptation with Charlton Heston and young Christian Bale, I enjoy sailor and pirate stories to the fullest. It had passed some time after I saw a story like that.

The Sea Beast had everything I love from an animated movie: From a good animation, of course, epic adventurous sequences, charismatic characters, a well written fleshed out villain (not a twist villain or an unerstood antagonist) a cute adventurous girl, a majestic creature, a truly cute pet, found family trope, to a really deep message. I felt so connected with its message against war and imperialism, something so important and needed in these times.

Well, maybe you are guessing I'm fan of Olympic Games, but most of all the sports with an artistic side, like gymnastics and figure ice skating and since we're on the Winter Olympic Games of Beijing, I wanted to make an honor mention with my favorite girl Félicie. 😊 I always enjoy watching skaters doing twirls in the ice and jumps on the air at the rythm of beautiful songs with those stunning skate suits and I bet Félicie would be happy dancing on the ice.

Reptiles like the lizard need to shed their skin. It is vital for their survival. So do we, should get reed of those things that don't let us move forward.

Honestly there was missing content of these two in the fandom. It was time for me to do something about it. 😊

Instead of a bedtime story, I imagine it becomes a tradition for Mérante and Félicie to sit by the chimney, where Mérante shares with Félicie his choreography works while she sits on his lap. Félicie still doesn't understand how it works the choreography techniques, but she still enjoys this little moment with her Papa before going to bed.

To make the chimney I tried to rely on the memory I have from an old chimney my grandparents had in their old house, now reduced to dust I think. They had to move on and sell the house. :') I loved that chimney, but my grandfather never lit it up because of CO2 reasons. Low-key I hate this paper it's so bad. I don't know why I still draw on that sketchbook tbh, it just appears I'm drawing over a cheap paper napkin that gets wrinkled all the time. Maybe I'll try to get a better picture of it later
