A fascinating gallery, your work reminds me of Miyazaki, and I have no higher praise.
Thank you! That is high praise indeed!
I am a fan of Miyazaki, but I've tried to not let myself be influenced too much by his work and instead do something else whenever possible.
Still, that is not always possible and, in fact, there are a lot of similarities in those cases where we ended up using the same primary sources for our inspiration - for example the wondrous machines of 19th century illustrator Albert Robida which served as base for the machines in Howl's Moving Castle and which I've also used for some of my drawings.
This is also why I've ended up grounding my work a lot more in reality rather than the realm of imagination in order to better create a world which is "my own" and, why not, show off a bit of my research...

Very interesting.
