I know it hasn’t been but a couple of weeks since Halloween but I got drawn back into the mood having run across the Sisters from Kubo and the Two Strings. These two characters were so menacing with their unrelenting masked smile. Voiced by Rooney Mara, the sisters nearly sing and laugh their taunts through the film. I would love to have seen them more, but I suppose good storytelling leaves you wanting more. In any case I thought I’d do a quick sketch to show my love for the characters. . . . #characterart #characterillustration #characterdesign #fanart #kubo #kuboandthetwostrings #studiolaika #halloween #japan #stopmotion #stopmotionanimation #animation #puppetry #creepy #spookyfun #horror #fables #ninja #samurai https://www.instagram.com/p/ClTiu4YrNng/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you must blink, do it now!! Pay carefully atention to everything you hear and see, no matter how unusual it may seem. Please be warned, if you fidget, if you look away, if you forget any part of what I tell you, even for an instant, then our hero will surely perish!!! ----x----- College au kubo, I might do more LAIKA drawings latter ♡ #kuboandthetwostrings #studiolaika

Other Mother: "Black is traditional..." I adore Coraline and I would love to do a real cosplay one day. For now I am so happy with this shot. #coraline #coralinecosplay #neilgaiman #studiolaika #freckles #othermother #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplay

#inktober day 15: #mysterious 🕵 boxtrolls may seem mysterious at first (maybe even malicious) but once you get to know them, you'll never find more loyal loving friends 😊 (though they can be quite mischievous) this is Fish, my favorite boxtroll 🐟 I really liked my line art of him, I think I kinda ruined it by coloring him 🙈 but I'm still trying to practice coloring with ink! Less thirsty paper would help too I think 🤔 #inktober2017 #ink #draw #drawing #doodle #doodles #color #markers #day15 #boxtroll #boxtrolls #laika #studiolaika #fish #draweveryday

Kubo is my son and i adore him-- you can expect more art from me 💖 I've seen it twice and i'm so ready to buy it right now.
