I took this Princess Mononoke blind box fridge magnet and used it to recreate a scene from the film! I hand-painted the background onto a wooden coaster and hot glued a magnet onto it so that the head would attach. All it took was a little patience and human creativity 🦌🌿✨ #princessmononoke #fanart

A photo of a wooden coaster mounted onto a wall. The coaster is hand-painted to look like a scene from Studio Ghibli’s Princess Mononoke, featuring the Great Forest Spirit. The main head of the spirit is actually a sculpted fridge magnet of the character, attached to the coaster to give the viewer an illusion of depth.

After putting on a clear glaze finish and letting it dry, I placed the magnet on his new home base! I’ll find an official place to display it later, but I’m really happy with how it all turned out! 🦌🌿✨

The finished project. The Great Forest Spirit’s head sits in the center of the painted wooden coaster, attached by a magnet. The overall presentation gives the appearance of the spirit head coming out of the wooden coaster

I’ve painted over wooden coasters over the years as gifts for friends and family, but never made one for myself before. So I bought a pack of small magnets, hot glued one to an abandoned project, and using a screenshot reference and acrylic paint, started to get to work.

A photo of a wooden coaster, slowly being painted over. In the center is a small magnet hot glued onto it. In the background is a reference screenshot of the Great Forest Spirit from Princess Mononoke

Progress photo of the coaster! The forest background is mostly done, full of various green leaves and mossy tree bark. In the foreground is the body of the Great Forest Spirit, done in various shades of red and yellow

Final progress shot. The forest background is complete, and the body of the Great Forest Spirit is now outlined with thin black lines

Sharing a little personal project I’ve been working on this week! I bought a Princess Mononoke blind box that’s just fridge magnets of the heads of the forest spirits (also Yakul and San’s mask), but I wanted to make it seem like more than just a mounted head on a wall lol 🧵

A photo of the Great Forest Spirit from Princess Mononoke as a fridge magnet. It’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand

The Great Forest Spirit stuck onto the side of a fridge alongside other magnets

Went to the #Arcane pop-up at Boba Bear in LA last night! The drinks were tasty, the atmosphere was so fun, and the decor felt like it was straight out of Zaun. Definitely something to check out if you’re in the area! ✨

A photo of a round, steampunk metal sign above the entrance to the pop-up event that says “The Last Drop.” In the middle of the sign is the image of a beer mug.

A photo of the light-up shimmer bottle that the event drinks come in, as well as the menu with the QR codes blocked out.

A photo of the interior of the boba shop. There are a mixture of empty and occupied tables. The walls are decorated with posters related to the Arcane show. At the back of the bar is a glowing neon green sign in the shape of an eye, illuminating the entire shop.

A photo of a corner of the boba shop, decorated to look like a section of Zaun. The walls are made up of different pieces of metal welded together and have Jinx’s graffiti scribbles plastered everywhere. On the left-side wall is a sewer entrance that glows an eerie green, with a sewer pipe attached to the wall. A small box with monkey graffiti on it sits in front of the wall, with Jinx’s Gatling gun sitting on top. There is an uneven wooden lattice resting along the right-side wall, with 3 Wanted posters of Jinx stuck onto it. One of the posters has Jinx’s face scribbled out. Another metal pipe is attached to the floor.
