Description

What I loved about Haku and Chihiro's relationship was not only that it was an cute young love kinda thing, but it was so...delicate, I guess you could say. No silly awkward moments, blushing, or "omgz i'm in love" realizations necessary, ever. Just a completely natural, caring relationship throughout. Right from the beginning Haku was very protective and close to her without a second thought, and Chihiro always totally trusted him, doing everything he said, and eventually saved his life too. And when she thought he was a bad guy she broke down -- aww!!

Their parting scene was also very gentle and the close-up shot of her hand leaving his was actually pretty moving, imo. However, after building up that kind of relationship, I wish their goodbye wasn't so...quick. I mean, the moment Chihiro passed Yubaba's test, they just RAN for it!

Anyhoo when I drew this picture I was actually imagining what their reunion would look like...but seeing as how I drew them in their same clothes from the movie, I guess it could also be seen as an alternate version of their goodbye. Tweaked around with the lighting a lot trying to get some kind of "warm" feel out of this...I hope that's conveyed...and I'm pretty pleased with how the hair turned out :) I was listening to "Inochi no Namae" (the vocal version of the "One Summer's Day" BGM from the movie) on repeat when I drew this, so I included the lines:


"So loved that I want to cry, is
the one life,
the place to return to,
an unerasable summer day at my fingers"
