Here’s a little project I made for myself, because I love Princess Mononoke and Miyazaki, plus I wanted to experiment with different techniques and see which ones I’d like to push on my work.
One was doing an ink wash on the bgs then coloring them in PS. Also giving the characters a cel-shaded look. It’s probably more of a cel shade/painterly hybrid.
Unfortunately, since I did the ink wash, I tried spritzing the entire page with water, to flatten out the page. It seemed to work, after I put it in between two sheets of glass. The only thing is that it didn’t allow the paper to dry out. It was flat, but still damp.
I left it in the glass for a couple of days, and took it out. It ended up having mildew and a reddish mildew. Eww. So the original is pretty much shot. At least I had scanned it and I chalk it up to being an experiment piece.
Welcome to the relaunch of ODAGAWA.COM!
This is a big overhaul of my site. I’ve always felt that with my other site, I didn’t have a way to update easily, have up to date news, etc.
I also wanted to incorporate an online store to sell some original art, books and prints.
Here’s a quick rundown on what you can find on my site:
- About: Bio information and resume.
- Gallery: Artwork that I’ve worked on through the years.
- IP (Intellectual Properties): My own original ideas that I’m in the process of developing.
- Contact: Contact me straight from here to my ryan@odagawa.com email address on the contact form.
- Store: Buy original art, books, prints and more securely through Paypal or Google Checkout.
- Posts: Up to date news, including convention appearances, contests, new artwork, new store items and more.

Thank you for stopping by. Hope to see you more often!
