Howl and Sophie!

I looked at flashy betta fish and some carp.

Part 1: Howl's Moving Castle

Sending Strawpage gimmicks is a fun step out of your tool-filled comfort zone; everything on a single layer, a pen tool with six brush sizes, a reverse/undo button and the colour palette. It used to have an eyedropper tool for picking same colours again from the canvas but not anymore.. Either way, here's some screenshot redraws of Howl's Moving Castle I've sent in the past (I think most were between Dec '24 ~ Mar '25). There's a bunch based on other Ghibli movies as well but I'll share those some other time 🤭

I'm always torn between adding the captions, as if a fake screenshot, so I always save a copy just in case 🤓

Charles-Markl, a sorcerer in training under the tutelage of "The Cat King", who specializes in magical disguises and pocket dimensions (biggest successful one currently is a "bag of tricks")

Crystal-Calcifer, a fire demon currently magically tied to "The Cat King" due to a deal turned curse

Monty-Turnip Head, a missing prince from a neighboring kingdom, cursed to be a scarecrow (because I think that's hilarious)

Niko-Lettie/Martha (taking a little from the books for this one), one of Edwin's only friends before he disappears, Niko goes to learn magic from another witch (hi Jenny) to see if she can find her dear friend

Cat (Meatball?)-Heen, a lazy spy for the Night Nurse turned semi domesticated house cat

Esther-Witch of the Waste, kinda self-explanatory I think

Night Nurse-Madame Suliman, "The Cat King's" former teacher currently employed by the kingdom to recruit magic users to the war or remove power from those who won't
