Chock-full of characters, the entire drawing is gorgeously shaded and each of the characters is meticulously placed. It’s really hard to fully capture just how detailed this work is because our minds are too excited about how perfect the entire scene is.

This isn’t the first time Kerby has dabbled with Ghibli as he created another piece back in 2013 that featured a number of same characters, but this one is, impossibly, even more finely crafted.

Happy 75th birthday #HayaoMiyazaki! Thanks for the inspiration! 🎉👊
