Yubaba is definitely the most Elden Ring character in Ghibli. She's got the weathered skin, extra limbs, grotesque proportions, ambiguous morality and authority, weaponized runes and the animal-human hybridization. And the painterly style is definitely the right pick. People call Elden Ring's style "realistic" but it's really more painterly. It's often like walking through renaissance hagiography.

[@richardlindquist709]

Okay the cat/skeleton bus character is genuinely a cool idea for Elden Ring, even with the mechanics as described.

We then have to climb into the carcass of the cat to grab the reward...fun!

These speed draws always remind me of how much of an incredible artist Karina is. She’s consistently blows my mind

[@violentabyss]

Not enough people are just screaming in awe so allow me: KARINA WHAT HOW WHEN WHERE WHY AAAAAAAAAA

[@Luminty99]

Gosh, I'm so impressed with Karina's style and coloring and everything

[@jaderush4141]

The lighting in Karina's piece is insanely good Also, y'all need to read Howl's Moving Castle the book if you haven't already. It is incredible

[@maluse227]

10/10 book by an amazing author who studied under JRR Tolkien too

[@SerDerpish]

“… and these are my twin boys, Darryl and Darrel.” Literally less than 1 minute in and you guys are already making me pause the video 😆😂🤣

[@How_Many_Monkeys]

I’ve been watching for a couple years now, and the way everyone’s style has evolved and grown in that relatively short time is astounding. The quality levels have been dialed to 11 😮 Also… *HONKHONK*

[@emo6577]

Hönk

[@alexschofield8085]

I can’t stop staring at Karina’s piece! The soft glow, the shines, the colours, the rendering! Everything just makes me go bonkers, it’s so cool!!!

[@Im-LittleSheep]

Dang, I am obsessed with the way Karina rendered Yubaba's face. Like the eyes and the lighting and the skin like wtf how did you get that so good :0

[@toewoe]

Nathan's illustrations are so cool. Somebody should hire him to do the illustrations for the next d&d monster manual

[@inSketch]

I've never seen a drawfee creation I wanted to be made into a figure more than Nathan's catbus

[@Version0111]

I remember Nathan when they did the ARTISTS DRAW GOKU IN DIFFERENT STYLES episode being shocked when Julia drew in a style similar to the one he did today. Oh how my boy has grown.

[@danielled8665]

Ah, yes. The one where she totally drew Goku. I love how Goku is the short cynical bad guy turned begrudging hero.

[@danielled8665]

Another commented offering for the algorithm. Also I love, love, love that Howl. All the Ghibli films have this potential for a darker outcome, they're so beautiful by contrast, the light and airiness of them is enhanced by the darkness. Elden Ring and other souls games have a feeling of the beauty existing within the darkness, as part of it, while Ghibli the beauty is despite it.

[@thethingd736]

i wish i could like a comment multiple times because this so captures some thoughts i had that i couldn’t put to words :)

[@_snowylil]

The thing Karina described with Yubaba being semi-normal and then she turns into a big scary harpy lady is both absolutely spot on Elden Ring/Dark Souls-wise and also reminds me both of the Winged Misbegotton from Elden Ring and the Corvians from Dark Souls III so, she nailed it

[@leahposton7857]

Karina did such a beautiful job from start to finish on her piece. So pretty 🥺

[@sadcherries4241]

I love Nathan's cat-bus, its so warped and nasty and beautiful!! :) And then, Jacobs sketch looks like finished lineart its so clean. And Karina's is so well constructed it might as well be a castle. Julia's story fits so well thematically and i love how her detailing turns a simple start into a super creepily detailed piece.

[@kojodog3149]

Nathan's painting reminds me of the horror illustrations I'd look at when i was little and wonder how a person could possibly develop enough skill to create them. Elden Ring Cat Bus owns this ass

[@zacharysmith5980]

Alternate names for the souls bosses: Catrot, The Roving Affliction Name-Keeper Yubaba Howl, the Hearth Guardian

[@EtamirTheDemiDeer]

Love these

[@duskmare0000]

Just imagining a second boss bar for the skeletons riding the catbus called "Corp's Crew" or "Carrion Baggage", heh.

[@EtamirTheDemiDeer]

@@duskmare0000 CARRION BAGGAGE

[@jazzarroyo5691]

i think my favorite thing about watching drawfee for so long is seeing their growth. idk it’s really inspiring to see the improvement to already amazing art…like makes me feel like there isn’t like…some ceiling to skills.

[@marginaliana]

These are all great as usual but damn, Nathan's piece absolutely blew me away.

[@JupiterLight28]

"They are on their way to work, and their job is to beat your ass." 😂😂 the way you delivered that, Nathan. 🧑‍🍳👌

[@rubyrider7902]

Nathan is such an Ito. Incredibly soft demeanor but when he draws horror it goes HARD

[@rayg.7861]

I was just reading some of Ito's short stories and I'm watching this to calm me down 😂

[@strawberryjam6235]

I can't do Junji Ito's stories. I'd have a full ass panic attack

[@blazingaxels]

i hear alot about Nathan's which I agree was amazing but Jacob's Ranni and Blaidd? AMAZING, I absolutely adore the style and feel and how the line blur really just, sealed the piece into being "Ghibli"

[@mercurialfox]

I'm only at the sketch part but I freaking love the cat bus design already!!? Killing it edit: the finished piece looks amazing.10/10 would pet

[@monztr_m2836]

Know I'm a whole episode late but that cat bus is giving me strong Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland vibes. Like I wouldn't be surprised if it verbally tried to point me in the right direction or if it just verbally threatened me. I'm obsessed with that cat, I would probably buy a poster of it if I could.

[@ninjaholicgaming5005]

Wow Karina’s piece is incredible, the textures and lighting are crazy good

[@ItsArtyTheFox]

Not gunna lie, I threw this episode on while working on my own art, but I didn't get anything done because I was simply captivated :P Well done everyone, love how these all turned out! Also Ranni and Blaidd are an awesome duo, great choice Jacob :P

[@ImUpset-kg1kx]

Same tho!! I usually listen while doing something else, but this time I completely stopped doing hw to just watch at how their art unfolded 🧡 I always love their art, but something about this episode really caught my attention

[@_snowylil]

I'm gonna use this comment to point out though that Blaidd isn't actually a wolf, he is indeed wearing a wolf head helmet, but he's like, effectively a werewolf who's barely keeping himself contained at all times (didn't want to comment this by itself because I don't want to bother them too much!!)

[@ItsArtyTheFox]

@@_snowylil It's not a helmet, Ranni calls him a "half-wolf"

[@PrimRooks]

I love how Drawfee takes a theme that can be potentially monotonous (adapt famously colorful characters into a dreary “edgy” style) and does something unique to their own interpretations. Nathan’s looks like a nightmare creature you’d see in a creepy picture book, Jacob’s is a faithful style adaptation using cool coloring effects I’ll definitely keep in mind for my own work, Karina’s is an excellent mix of warm/matronly and monstrous, and Julia’s looks like studio-level concept art for a dark fantasy picture, with that pop of warm color doing so much to evoke the tone of obsession and loneliness. Wonderful work as always, guys!

[@noodleydoo2862]

You worded that way better than I could!!

[@maddieb.4282]

Wild that you think the Elden ring art style can be simplified to “dreary and edgy” like what?? Have you ever actually played the games? There’s an immense amount of creativity and awesome character design as well as depth of lore. This episode is good because BOTH Miyazaki and Elden Ring are good properties with beautiful art, and the Drawfee hosts like both.

[@PrimRooks]

@@maddieb.4282 My original comment was not made with any intent to disparage the creative quality of Elden Ring; it was meant more as a cursory remark on the overall trend of style challenges that I’ve seen on KZbin and social media (outside of Drawfee). And while I’ve not played Elden Ring, I’ve seen a good amount of Jacob and Julia’s SSS VODs to know that the game is indeed quite beautiful and multi-layered. I hope this clarifies what I meant with the original comment.

[@BlankPicketSign]

WE ARE OFF TO AN AMAZING START!!!!!! As a huge fan of Both studios this is my favorite thing ever! WOW!

[@MiChriKaPe]

I LOOOOOOVE this darkest side of Nathan that we’re seing moor and moor off. In just the trope of j know creepy horror scenery and characters i would almost say he tops Julia although Julia does most things dark and creepy so she still takes the cake. But he’s definitely up there!

[@pippap313]

Nathan's character design!! Jacob's inking!! KARINA'S PAINTING!!!! Julia's compositing and colours!!!! Mad honkers on all fronts, folks!!!!!
