Miyazaki Inspired Ceramic Creatures

As I venture further into art, I find many artists I like, although there is one artist I love in particular: Hayao Miyazaki. Nature, machine, and flight are just a few among many inspirations we share. There are strong anti-war messages in all his films without them being particularly political. The more research I do on the inspiration and origin of design and plot the more inspired I get to continue my art career. 

Below is a piece inspired by Howl's Moving Castle.

I made two of the following to experiment with design and pattern.

Giant Warrior Skulls (Nausicaa)

I enjoy the Japanese culture and aesthetic of simple, clean, imaginative design, so I made the following:
