An illustration of a Soot Sprite (Susuwatari / すすワタリ) carrying a lump of coal above its head, like in the Spirited Away movie, but in my own style.

Soot Sprites aka Susuwatari (すすワタリ) are little black creatures who appear in Ghibli movies. The first time I saw them was in My Neighbor Totoro and the second time was in Spirited Away. Both movies are favourites of mine.

Now today's topic is "Coal" which if I'm going to be honest, is not exactly inspiring to me.

But when you incorporate Ghibli elements, things suddenly become a lot more interesting.

So that's what I did today. A single soot sprite carrying a lump of coal. Like in Spirited Away, but in my own style. I really like the outcome.

Rosie loves way too many things; games, crafting, drawing, painting, design, sewing plushies, planners, music, movies, series. On this blog she shares her creations and other snapshots of stuff she likes.

You might know Rosie from her Twitch channels RosieSoCosy (English) / Rosiewosie (Dutch), her YouTube channels, her planner shop Retro Hugs, or perhaps SimsNetwork, her Sims fansite she started back in 2000.
