Howl's Moving Castle Character Recreated in 3D Painterly Style

3D Artist Yuasa Yuu unveiled a new stunning artwork, paying homage to Studio Ghibli's Howl's Moving Castle, recreating Calcifer in 3D using Blender.

The stylized PBR diorama features painterly graphics, which have become the artist's signature style, as Yuasa Yuu is renowned for stunning watercolor- and oil painting-style 3D creations. The new take has a fresh twist, as the graphics slightly differ and also include pencil-style outlines.
