Soot Sprites!

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Japanese anime, and among the many animated films, Spirited Away is my absolute favorite. I recently watched it and got really inspired by the absolutely adorable Soot Sprites. Conveniently enough, they eat multicolored stars, which I happen to have as glitter, and so I started making my design.

I glued on the stars they're holding, and painted the falling ones. In hindsight it might have been better if I'd used a bleaker background, like a white fading into grey or something, but I love this none the less. It just makes me think of the cute little Soot Sprites, hopping about, and it makes me really happy. Isn't anime amazing?
