Studio Ghibli addiction

I'm abandoning far too many LOL games in the champion select lately. There just something irritating about the type of players that seem to be popping up, I really can't be bothered with toxic or ignorant players. Anyway, in my 10 minute wait I decided to go looking for more bits to inspire some new designs. And once again I've fallen for Studio Ghibli and its gorgeous fantasy worlds. Recent design uploads include the following. :)

I always remember seeing a black cat design on a hoodie at an Archery Club that I was once a member of, and of course having loved the fact that Jiji is in indeed Troy McLure, I thought I'd settle for a simple Jiji tshirt. Although now I think about it, I'm going to have to give Jiji a pink Troy McLure style sweatshirt at some point on one of my doodles.

But also in my google image search, the Soot Balls made an appearance. Now I've been looking for a design for one of my favourite grey jumpers for a while now, and I think I have finally found it. So for the Totoro and Spirited Away fans, there's the Sootball slouch jumper.

These, along with the Kodama T-shirt, No Face T-shirt, and Studio Ghibli T-shirt designs are a nice collection for me. But I still need more. I have fallen behind on the Studio Ghibli collection, and sadly still haven't played Ni no kuni. I'm a shame to the SG fan club. I will catch up, and that's a promise to myself I have to keep.

       

Eventually when i can say I am a true Ghibli fan, I will treat myself to a trial of my Spirit of the forest design. But for now, I guess I'll just stick with my grunge style San mask for a Princess Mononoke T-shirt :)

Do Minions have eyebrows?

Ok, so working on updating my Despicable me Minion hoodie I had a bit of a random thought. I've not seen one of these little guys without their goggles. I've seen them dressed up, still with their goggles, and fan art in various costumes.

And still wearing goggles, or maybe they are converted to glasses like the Harry Potter Minion that Google images also offered me. Now that I think about it, I can't actually imagine these guys without them. It turns out, they look pretty weird. 

I now have to wonder how long the designers of the Minion characters spent pondering over whether or not to give the minions eyebrows, was it the cyclops Minions that swayed the decision? Perhaps the thought of giving a creature a mono-brow was a bit off putting. Safe to say its now made Minion fan art a bit weird for me. I still love this minion hoodie though, the original didn't have a mouth! And here's me going on about not having eyebrows....

The time has come....

After an exceptional amount of patience and insomnia enducing thought, I have decided to set up a new temporary site for Zen-oh-tee. There has been a lot of frustration with bugs and broken links with the current site, and after having put in so much work - only to find that it doesn't work - I figured it's time I made something that does work.

So to try and keep things simple and a little bit more personal, I've set up this small blog with a shop on the side that will include my top sellers and a few new additions. This site will link through to my Etsy shop, so the whole range is still available from here, but this will just give a bit of information on me, how I work and how designs have come into being. Hopefully it will also help inspire new designs too with some feedback from customers and followers :)

The old site will still be running and climbing the Google ladder, but until the bugs are fixed I can't afford any more time on the old site, especially when I have no idea how to fix it myself. Hopefully it will return to being a main site when its new makeover is complete.

So then, let the new sites testing and tweaking begin!
