Designing an Autumn Studio Ghibli Film in Miniature
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ค. 2024
- The most special project I have done thus far, for my best boy. Designed a Studio Ghibli film set in fall- complete with stained glass sliding doors, resin koi pond, wind chimes, and of course lots of plants. With my lovely cat as the main character because I miss him the most~
I wanted to design a Ghibli piece that took place in autumn for forever and now it's just even more special. Here's to hoping he's happy living in his dessert shop and being able to wander outside and chase whatever he pleases!
I'm sure you already know, but if you haven't seen @StudsonStudio build a Ghibli project- what are you doing here? I'll start you out with the project mentioned in the video: • Making the sad version...
Also the two wonderful people that I have learned so very much from, specifically resin this time around @RealTerrainHobbies and @BentleyHouseMinis
The specific videos referenced in the video: • Making a Miniature Mil... and • Miniature Stained Glas...
Here's a great resin safety video, but I really encourage you to do your own research before you use it!
• Alumilite Explains: Ep...
Oddly enough this cover of Ventura Highway was the first song I listened to after we had lost him and it was the first thing that made me feel like things might be ok again eventually, so it has a huge place in my heart- • Ventura Highway - Amer...

Honestly, the "My Boy" section made me cry in a video that was already making me misty-eyed. What a beautiful love letter to Mango. Also, mmmm the color grading and cinematography of your outdoor flower/garden/foliage footage is always so lovely and dreamlike.
What a stud you are
Yoooo studson!! Can’t believe a cross over like this happened 😭😭
Well that makes two of us haha, I was a mess editing that part! Ahhh thank you so much, I'm honestly one of the least outdoorsy people, but wow do I love filming flowers and nature~
This was so beautiful and heartfelt. Thank you for sharing this piece that you made for Mango💖 It's always hard to say goodbye to these precious innocent lives that bring us so much joy while they're here. The scene and all your ideas came together perfectly to create a very peaceful place. And that roof and sliding wall... gorgeous! I will have to remember those techniques!
It absolutely is, they add so much to our lives, it's so hard to lose them- especially unexpectedly. Thank you so much, really hope I've done him proud with everything! And a big thank you for all of your wonderful videos, they have helped me so much while building~
This was a very touching tribute. I‘m sure Mango is happy to be remembered in this way…. I‘ve never thought of it before, but a Ghibli sweetshop back garden really sounds like a good place to call heaven.
Ahhh thank you my friend, I really hope you're right- I'd like to think he would be so happy there. If this is where he'll end up... well I think my heart can rest just a little easier~
your cat would love it 🤍✨
I'd really like to think he would be so happy there~
I’m so sorry for your loss. And such an impressive and gorgeous project!
Thank you so much, it is so appreciated! I really hope he would think so too, I'd like to think he would be happy spending his days in his little dessert shop~
This is a crazy beautiful piece Devon. It's so special. I lost my cat on the 11th of January and life still sucks. So I really appreciated this. I had a good cry during the Mango montage. Well done. And thank you.
Oh my goodness I am so sorry, to be honest it's just so difficult- even months later I still get choked up from missing him so much from time to time. Let's hope both our kitties are getting to live happily in their own Ghibli worlds now. Hope your heart can rest just a little easier sometime soon and sending all the love your way 💜
I'm not the only one who cried during the Mango montage. Really got me.
Very sorry for your loss. We give them the best life we can, and hope they know how much we love them.
Such a wonderful way to say "I love you" to Mango.
That's absolutely it, as long as he was happy and felt just how much we loved him, I can't ask for anything else. He'll always be in his place in my heart, just wish we could have spent longer with him. Thank you so much for all the kind words, they are so appreciated~
There's something uniquely painful about the loss of a pet that hits different than other losses, I think. Especially when it happens suddenly. This was such a beautiful, touching tribute to your cat and I'm sure he would have loved it. It looks amazing!
Absolutely, I don't think I ever knew just how painful it could be until it happened so suddenly like this. Thank you so much for all the nice words, they are appreciate more than you know 💜 I really hope he would have thought so too~
The love of a cat is truly special. It’s so hard when you lose them.
It absolutely is, especially when it's so unexpected. Miss him so so much 💜
As someone who has adored and lived with cats for 5 decades, and is the steward of an elderly kitty, I feel your loss very keenly. This love letter to the Mango-sized hole in your heart made me weep. And the art is also really lovely. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you so so much for all the super kind words, they are appreciated more than you know! Sending all the love to your elderly kitty, my other cat is getting to be an old man now as well- they deserve all the love and affection you can give them~
I am so blown away. I have a lot to say about this video.
1. Your cat was absolutely ADORABLE, I loved the montage of him, he was so loving and precious and fluffy. :( I lost my cat a few months ago and I know how it feels, it hurts so much more when it's sudden and unexpected. I'm so sorry for your loss. Cats are like more than family, it's so impossible to say goodbye to such beautiful creatures. :( Hang in there.
2. Your filming and editing skills are actually insane. Especially since the work you put into the actual art piece is so much, and then the filming of it all was even more. Seriously, the amount of work you put into this video paid off and we all see it! Way to go.
3. The details, the colors, the beauty of the diorama... it was so good. Honestly you've inspired me to actually start using the materials I bought after seeing monster mash but have been too afraid to use. You made me feel like maybe it was possible to make something beautiful even though I'm bad at sculpting haha. So thank you for that.
This video was amazing, I'm so impressed. Seriously, I hope you know you're loved and appreciated.
P.S.: Your singing voice is so sweet!
Simply wonderful. A loss of a close companion is a hard thing to go through. Nice tribute. Your imagination shows how much you care.
Absolutely, it's the hardest- especially when it's so sudden like it was this time around. Thank you so much for all the super kind words, they are really appreciated more than I can possibly say~
The loss of a fur-baby is just so HUGE. I'm so sorry he passed so suddenly. That is the absolute worst. This was a lovely build and fantastic video!!
You are absolutely right, genuinely felt like part of my heart was just snatched away from me suddenly. Still miss him so much every day. Thank you for the kind words, they are appreciated more than you know~
This was lovely, thank you for sharing Mango with us. A Mango inspired dessert shop looks like a wonderful place to be.
Honestly I am so grateful that people care about him even though they never knew him, he was such a wonderful little boy. I hope he would think so too, thank you so much for all the nice words~
I've had 5 cats that have died unexpectedly in my life: 2 to pigeon keepers and 3 to cars, so I have an appreciation of what you're going through. I have 2 house cats now. Your video was a lovely tribute to a truly gorgeous cat.
It really is the worst, the loss of a pet is always hard, but didn't fully realize how painful it could be until it came out of nowhere. I am so sorry about your lost kitties, sending all the love to your two fluff balls and thank you for all the kind words~
Think this is one of your best pieces, you obviously put your heart and soul into it. 💗🌸💗
Ahhh well thank you so much for saying that, you don't know how much it means! While I always put all my effort into the projects, I definitely really poured everything into this one for him. I'm really happy to know that some of that might have come across~
I am so sorry for your loss 💜
You can really feel the love in your art piece, and I think this was a beautiful way of honoring your beloved furbaby 💜💜💜
Gone, never forgotten 💜
Thank you so much for all the kind words, they are always so appreciated! I really hope that he would think so too, did my best to pour absolutely everything into this for him~
Rest in peace Mango, we will always miss you. Beautiful tribute to him, indeed! I felt from the bottom of my heart all the love he gave you and that you did the same to him. May your heart be well soon and remember “time heals everything”. 💜‼️🥰
Ahhh well I appreciate all of that so so much, thank you! I don't think I'll ever be able to describe the amount of happiness he brought, the only thing I could ever hope for is that he knew just how much we loved him 💜
I'm sorry to hear about your kitty. This sculpture was a very sweet tribute to him. Perhaps there really is a sweetshop in heaven made for cats up there in pet heaven and he's waiting for you there.
Ahhh well the kind words are so appreciated my friend, thank you! I really hope so- if that's what awaits me, I would feel very fortunate indeed.
What a beautiful memorial to Mango. You did both of you proud.
Ahh you're gonna get me all choked up again, thank you so much. I really hope he would think so too~
Sorry for your loss and I really love how you made him a miniature
Thank you for the kind words, figured the best thing I can do to remember him is what I know best haha. Really hope I've done him proud and made something he would love~
I also lost my cat Whiskey to an unexpected heart issue a couple months ago, and it was incredibly traumatizing. I've been trying to come up with an idea like this to pay tribute to her. You never forget your familiar, but it helps to process everything when you can create something from the sadness.
I apologize for a super late response, but I am so sorry to hear about your cat- really feel your pain in every way. I hope you get or have had the chance to make a piece for her and your heart can rest just a little easier sometime soon. Sending all the love your and Whiskey's way 💜
I'm literally crying... Mango was such a lovely cat soul, I'm so sorry for your loss. And the project and the tribute to him is simply amazing, beautiful and unique. 💖
He absolutely was, I really don't think I can even describe just how much of a light he was in my life 💜 Thank you so much for all the kind words, I really hope he would have thought so too~
Oh my gosh 😢 Sorry to hear about your kitty. This is such a great memorial piece. I love the idea of ghibli heaven for the lil fur babies. 🥰
A lovely piece of artwork made with love just for Mango....a lovely cat.
I sincerely hope that wherever he is he can feel all the love I have for him still~ Thank you so much for the kind words, they are so appreciated!
Just lost my cat a couple hours ago. I'm in hell right now but your video inspired me to maybe try turning all this pain into art when it's time. Thank you for sharing. Hope my friend and yours can be friends in cat paradise.
Oh my goodness my friend, I am so so sorry to hear that, it really is another kind of pain. Though it takes a while, I hope sometime soon your heart can rest just a little easier. I too hope our little friends are getting to live in their own Ghibli paradises together, I'm sure they would be so very happy there. Sending all the love your way~
What a nice thing to honor his memory! I too would love to spend the afterlife in a Ghibli movie! And I also lost one of my dogs for lung cancer in the beginning of september. It's heartbreaking.
Ahhh I am so sorry to hear that my friend, it really is such a painful thing, even months later I still get a bit teary from missing him so much. Hope your heart can rest just a bit easier soon and may all the dogs and cats be living their Ghibli afterlives happily!
Hello youtube pen-pal! I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Thank you for making another video !
You're amazing.
Appreciate all the kind words so much, thank you for giving it a watch! It means so much~
I thought I could make it through the video without crying... UNTIL MANGO CLIPS STARTED PLAYING! I love this so much!
Hahaha that was pretty much my experience editing it as well, took me quite a while to get through that section- I just miss him so much! Glad you could enjoy it regardless of the tears~
Sorry to hear you lost your friend. That was a wonderful way to remember him. Yes 100% I would watch a Studio Ghibli Mango Sweet Shop film.
Thank you so much for the kind words, I am so glad to have been able to work on something for him, miss him more every day~ Maybe I'll develop the whole story for his desert shop one day just for fun!
So sorry for your loss of a lovely cat. I've had cats continuously in my life for over 63 years. We have 9 dogs and 3 cats and a lifetime of memories of the cats and dogs that have gone on to the next stage. Your tribute to Mango was lovely, I must admit to a tear in my eye at the end.
I'm so sorry for your loss, my kitty is 11 and has terminal cancer I'm dreading the day she walks the rainbow bridge. You have inspired me to turn my current project into a project for her. Now off to cry in a corner as that was so beautiful
Ahhh my boy was 11 too, it seems especially rough because they've been with you for so long, but it just doesn't feel long enough. I'm so so so sorry about your kitty, I hope she spends all her days happily and feels all the love you have for her~ Sending all my love your and her way 💜
Thank you for sharing Mango with us, it was an honor to get to meet him and remember him with you. All your footage of him shows me that he had an amazing life full of enrichment and love.
I have an elderly cat whose health is beginning to fail, and I hope he feels as loved and cared for as Mango obviously was.
My condolences on your loss. Losing an animal is hard enough, but when it happens suddenly that makes it all the more devastating. 🤗 I think this is absolutely beautiful! And my Ringo and Oliver say thank you for the extra love ♥️
Absolutely, losing a pet is always awful, but I really didn't realize just how much it could hurt until it came out of nowhere like this. Thank you so much for all the kind words, always sending Ringo and Oliver all the love~
what a precious dedication to sweet Mango - may he rest in peace over the Rainbow Bridge ~ I'm sorry for your loss ~ I enjoy your talent - thank you🐱🐈
I'm so sorry about your kitty. I lost my dog a week ago and my heart still aches. I love your work and just know that you bring happiness.
I apologize so much for the late response, I am so sorry about your dog! To be honest I think no matter the time, it sometimes just hits you and you miss them so much. Hope your heart can rest a little easier sometime soon my friend and thank you so much for all the kind words~
I'm not a cat person. I don't particularly like cats. But I'm sorry you lost your friend. I can relate to that. You'll carry him in your heart all your life. And that's a Beautiful thing.
Ahhh indeed, I think unfortunately that's a feeling most people can relate to at some point. Truly such a big heartbreak. But you are absolutely right, he's with me even when he's not, that's the most important thing. Thank you for all the kind words, they are so appreciated as always my friend!
That was soooo incredibly beautiful. The project, the meaning and the montage. I seriously cried. Thank you for sharing this special moment with us ♥️
Me too😢
Oh my goodness no, thank you so much for spending a little time getting to know my boy! Appreciate the kind words more than I can say~
Brava! I can't think of a more fitting tribute to a beautiful little life.
You're gonna make me cry here haha, I really hope he would think so too. Thank you so much, can't even say just how much I appreciate the kind words~
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my kitty, Gilbert in August and I'm still heartbroken. Gilbert's favorite was anything breakfast and sauce. His face was always in my spaghetti bowl lol. This is a beautiful tribute to Mango! It's gorgeous 😍 Mango is always with you. Hugs 🫂
Ahhh I'm so sorry about Gilbert, he sounds like he had a little in common with Mango liking strange foods haha. Absolutely, and Gilbert will always be with you too 💜 let's hope they're living happily in their own Ghibli worlds. Thank you so much for all the kind words~
What an amazing creation, and such a beautiful tribute to your departed friend. As one cat lover to another, my sincere condolences on the loss of Mango. They're our friends for life but we never get them long enough. I'm sure he loves his dessert shop!! 💜🥭
You said it absolutely right, if only I could have spent the rest of my life with him by my side 💜 I really want to think he would be so happy in a place like this- thank you so much for all the super kind words~
mmmm, how many cats in my life?.....many, all loved, all spoiled, all in my memory for all time. Wonderful video.
Always happy to hear that the kitties are being loved and spoiled, it's what they deserve haha! All the love to all the kitties in your life~
I am sorry for your loss... while l was deployed, my black lab , chocolate , was put down because he had cancer. I mentioned it to our Chaplin , a female rabbi , as stone faced as l could, there is no crying in the Corp. Three days later we were assigned a newly deployed K-9 operator... l got a brown paperbag with the "approved" K-9 treats.... the handler...
Manni... told me ... Rabbi Judy told me ... you can give him the treats ... she wanted to clear it with "us"... being able to hang with manni and Artoo... helped with coping on many levels... as usual your project is beautiful , as is your singing , l wish you sang more... the world needs art and song now more than ever. Thank you. May you walk in peace and joy with your friends.
Love to your fur baby - may he enjoy endless warm sun and chasing butterflies.
Ahhhh that's such a nice thing to think of, I hope so, he would be so happy! Thank you so much~
This is an amazing and beautiful piece. Every step of the way was perfect, especially those acorn hanging pots. Absolutely inspired work. Thank you for sharing.
RIP Mango
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for all the kind words my friend, they are seriously so appreciated! Using the acorns really always makes me so happy haha! So glad you could enjoy~
Cats cannot taste sweet, so my guess is that he wanted to share in what you enjoyed. I still miss my dog, though he died years ago, so I have a small glimmer of your sorrow. Lovely tribute and lovely project, thank you for sharing.
Beautiful. I’m sure Mango is enjoying a hella fantastic Ghibli afterlife.
I really really do hope so, it's what he deserves for being the sweetest boy! Thank you so much~
'How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard'
Absolutely, would never trade a single day with him- he made my life better in every way~
A very good project for a very good cat 💜
I really hope he would think so too, thank you so much 💜
I'm so sorry for your loss and thank you for being awesome.
Appreciate it so much more than I can say, thank you for being so kind~
What an incredible and beautiful way to remember Mango. I have been watching your videos for a few months now and I can see the amount of time, effort, money, and thought that you put into this piece. I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure Mango is having the best time in his ghibli afterlife 💞💞
I have tears in my eyes. I absolutely love cats and I hold studio Ghibli movies so close to my heart. This was mesmerizing.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Mango would've loved this project 🥺
Complete loveliness. What a beautiful place for Mango.
Ahhh well I really want to believe he would be so happy there, thank you so much. Appreciate the kind words more than you know~
I lost my cat about 7 years ago, and it is still just as raw and emotional today as it was then. His 'big sister'', the Beagle passed a year ago, so this was a raw episode for me, but the fact we love them so is why it hurts so much; your film set tribute is a fitting and delightful way to honour your loss. I'll raise a glass to you and your wonderful cat, Mango. Need to get some tissues now...
I knew you were a beautiful soul, now I know it for sure with this heartfelt tribute. Special people attract special cats. ❤️🥭❤️
Or do special cats just make us want to try to be kinder people? I don't know, all I can say is he was the easiest cat to love. Appreciate the nice words so much more than I can possibly say, thank you 💜
such a majestic BIG FLOOF
He absolutely was 😭 the cutest little fluff ball, I miss him more every day 💜
Truly magnificent, you have unbelievable patience and imagination, a fitting tribute to your special friend. I loved it
Ahh you are so so very kind my friend, thank you for the kind words! I really hope he would think so too, did my best to pour absolutely everything into this for him 💜 So happy you could enjoy~
U r killing me….came to watch a build and left crying my eyes out missing my kitty. Well done honoring him and thank you for the memories and inspiration!
Ahhh I am so sorry my friend, I'm right there with you! Every time I read a comment on this video, I think of him and miss him even more. Thank you so much for all the kind words, hope our kitties are living happily in a lovely Ghibli world together~
Awe, heart strings tangled up here! Such a sweet sentiment and precious way to honor your Mango Kitty. You did a superb job with your loving tribute.
Such a great idea to honor Mango! I don’t know what I will do when my little guy is no longer around. Beautiful work!!
Ahh thank you so much! It's really rough, still feel a little lost without him tbh. I hope your little friend lives a long and happy life 💜 give him all the extra love for me~
This is beautiful! I cried almost the whole way through. I lost my cat just over a year ago and it wrecked me. I’m now caring for my mom’s tiny dog and I gave her some extra kisses for you.❤💔
Totally feel your pain, it really is the most difficult to lose a little four legged friend. Still miss him the most every day. Glad to hear you are caring for the little doggo though, always happy to hear that you passed on some extra love, they deserve it~
Absolutely incredible. Wow. So sorry for the loss of Mango. I got 2 kitties and i kinda got teary eyed. Keep up the AMAZING work. R.I.P. Mango
Appreciate the kind words so much, many a tear were shed by me during editing for this as well. Miss my boy the most! Hope your two kitties are doing the best and sending all the love their way~
A trick to making the doors slide easier is taking a bar of soap or wax and gently rubbing on the tracks. Use a similar color or cream colored. It turned out meowvelous!
🧡 💖🧡
This is so beautiful! He was such a gorgeous floof and you honored him well.
You have something special in you!
Ahhh thank you so much, I'm honestly just so thankful that people care to spend a little time getting to know my boy. You're far too kind, appreciate all of the nice words more than I can say~
@@MechanicalFiend docs are great and people get attached as though they are their children, and that's something special. But cats are a part of your soul. Losing them is losing not just a part of your heart but a part of your being. I know and understand
Mango was beautiful; I'm so sorry for your loss. This piece is a lovely tribute/memorial.
He really was, such a wonderful boy ahh... thank you so much for all the kind words, they are appreciated more than I can say~
This is such a beautiful tribute to your little Mango. I am very sorry for your loss.
Ahhh well thank you so much for all the kind words, they are so appreciated! I really hope it's something he would have been happy with and I've done him proud~
this was so sweet, Mango had a happy life and was much loved.
As long as he was happy and knew how much we loved him, I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you so much for the kind words~
What a beautiful tribute, made with love for the gorgeous Mango. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much, really hope it's a place he would be so happy living in. Appreciate the kind words so much~
I would 100% watch this RIGHT NOW. I've always wanted an autumn ghibli film!
Ahh me too! I've wanted to do an autumn Ghibli design for so long, hope they will potentially make one some day! I know it would be so beautiful~
When i clicked this video I surely wans't expecting to cry over someone else's cat today... Yet here i am and i'm glad i did! This was a wonderful project! Not just the final pice... also the videografym the heart, everything... Beautiful tribute!
Ahhh well thank you so much for spending a little bit of time getting to know my boy! Appreciate all of the kind words more than I can say 💜
Beautiful project for a beautiful kitty. Mango is definitely in the Ghibli universe now💜
Ahhh thank you so so much, I really hope so 💜
My twisted mind imagined you used Wheaties for the falling leaves...you sure are a pro at putting these uploads together.
Wow that would have been an idea! The reality is a lot less interesting considering I added them in post haha! Thank you for all the kind words, I may not be a pro at getting them out in a timely manner, but what can you do haha?
So sorry for your loss. Watching this made me go hug my own cat. The project is awesome
Ahhh I am so happy to hear that, give your little furry friend all the hugs for me! Thank you for all the kind words~
What an incredibly beautiful cat Mango was! You can tell that he led a very happy cat life and was well loved! He couldn't have asked for more.
Pawsed the video immediately to say I'm so sorry for your loss.
My cat Smudge passed away in September.
Since the age of 4 there has always been a pet of some sort or another in my life, except for a few months between my dogs passing and the arrival of Smudge. I'm 62, and so not having an animal companion is weird.
They are such a big part of our lives and when they leave us it is a tremendous loss.
Deepest commiserations and best wishes to you.
Ahhh I appreciate that so much, thank you for all the kind words! I am so sorry to hear about your little Smudge, you're absolutely right- we spend so much time with them and they really take up a huge place in our hearts, whether here or not. I hope your heart can rest a little easier soon and the place that Smudge takes up is filled with happy memories~
You're amazing. He's resting now knowing he had a wonderful life.
Ahhh well I really really hope so.. I hope he knows how much I think of him and love him wherever he is~
Cats are my favorite animal so when it comes to the loss of one no matter whose it is, I always can't hold back my tears. When I was a kid, I use to cry when the black cat died in hocus pocus. Lol
Have to disagree! The water is not too dark, imho, it is just right!
What a beautiful tribute to your beautiful cat!
Well I must admit for the top layer I ended up adding additional resin and diluting the color just a bit, so that helped a little! Thank you so much, appreciate all the kind words more than I can say~
noticed the stained glass part and chose that as what I will work on creating next. So many ideas from your words. not 100 degrees here for now and I feel up to creating; i have ac but 100 is 100 and things do not feel normal. Yea for 91 degrees!
I wish you the absolute best with your project my friend! Ahhh the heat, 100% agree, I would be more than ok with summer passing quickly haha. Hope you can stay cool and have fun working on it~
New here but I think mango would absolutely love this place. Getting to sit and watch the fish swim around
That's what I thought as well, there wasn't anything he loved more than seeing all manner of creatures- I know he would love to see fish swimming around! Thank you so much for saying that, I really do hope he would~
You’re probably feeling better by now but I feel your loss.
Thanks for sharing this build. It’s very beautiful and Mango was a very handsome cat.
We all meet up in the end.
I'm sorry to hear about Mango. You seemed to have a beautiful relationship with him which makes you both lucky. I am very close to my cat too and I like to think that cats get a ghibli-like afterlife where they can wander in woods, climb trees, take naps in the sunlight, eat lots of their favourite food and wait for us to join them.
Thank you for sharing this with us, it's a beautiful tribute.
I’m so sorry for your loss. this is absolutely stunning, and honestly the best way to tribute your pet. the shots at the end of the shop through the seasons literally made me tear up, he’ll live on forever.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I truly understand your pain. I also know that your little one awaits you, and will enjoy kitty paradise until that time.
I'm so sorry to hear about Mango. I have an older cat who isn't feeling very well. He's in bed next to me and I'm rubbing his belly. He truly loves to have his belly rubbed. The first time I met him, he laid down and rolled over to expose his belly. It's nice to have Mango in such a wonderful place. I was crying as I watched the video with you and Mango. I had a special long haired cat that I lost years ago. He was the best cat in the world.
This is gorgeous. I think all cat lovers here can commiserate. Lovely work, and very Ghibli!
Ahh well thank you so much for all the kind words my friend, I'm happy to at least have a little piece of my boy in this~
It turned out so lovely! What a great way to commemorate your furbaby who you lost way to soon.
I’m truly sorry for your loss. I lost one of my cats this last 4th of July holiday. He was an outdoor cat and scared away by some early fireworks before I could bring him inside. He has never returned and my backyard has never been the same, it’s so quiet now 😢.
What a wonderful tribute to your Feline companion. It is so hard when our little best friends leave us. In a way they are will always be with us too. Thank you for sharing this with us. It cannot have been easy emotionally. You are one brave young woman. As always your video was very well put together, even more so. Can't wait for your next project.
Absolutely, the place he has in my heart will always belong to him. Miss him so much everyday 💜 Thank you for spending a little time getting to know him, all the kind words are so appreciated- really more than I can say.
Mango Forever !!!
Such a beautiful video and tribute to Mango! He looked just like our cat who passed away a couple years ago. Love this so much ❤️
Thank you so much! So sorry to hear about your kitty, hopefully they're both getting to hang out in a Ghibli garden together~
I'm feeling the same after my
22 year old pug passed, and I
still can't bring myself to work
on a special piece for his urn,
but I hope to gain inspiration
thru you, my condolences 🕊️
Ahhh I am so so sorry to hear that my friend, it's so painful sometimes, even months later. Even working on this video now, many tears were shed! Through it all, I'm happy I got to make something for him in the end. Hope your heart can rest a little easier sometime soon and sending all the love to your sweet pug 💜
This whole video is beautiful. My heart feels like it’s breaking at your loss of sweet Mango, while at the same time, it’s swelling with joy that Mango was able to teach you how beautiful unconditional love can feel. Losing one that we love is devastating, I know. This tribute shows how beautifully special Mango was, and how beautifully special you are, too. I wish you peace and strength during this sad time. Thank you for sharing this with us, Sweetheart.
Ahhh that really is how it is, isn't it. It's such a painful loss, but I would go through it a million times to be able to experience the amount of happiness he brought to my life. Just wish he could have been here for longer, isn't that always the way. Thank you so much for all the nice words as always, they are so appreciated 💜
I’m so sorry to hear about your sweet boy. He was so beautiful. I have two big boys (one is also a ginger mackerel tabby) and I still couldn’t imagine how hard that was for you. Thank you for taking the time to share this project for him with us 💕
This is a beautiful homage! Mango was lucky to have been loved so well! So sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your loss. My Buddy passed away in December unexpectedly as well ); this is a nice project, a great way to always remember them.
Ahhh my friend, I am so so sorry to hear that, it really hurts the most when it's so sudden, doesn't it? I hope Buddy is getting to live out their own Ghibli fantasy and that your heart can rest just a little easier sometime soon~
You had me crying the whole time! This was amazingly beautiful, not just with your technique and design, but as a tribute to your precious ginger baby! Thank you for sharing the process, truly!
Ahhh well I apologize greatly for the tears, but thank you so much for all the super kind words! Really hope it ended up being a place he would be so happy to live~
@@MechanicalFiend it has to be a place he would be happy to live!!!! On a side note, whenever I brush my cat, and remove the hair from the brush, my brain automatically sings "Look away, look away." So, I start laughing. That joke is one that just keeps on giving. I apparently appreciate your humor. 😹
I didn't see this until now and I would like to say, even though with delay, yet heartfelt, my heartfelt condolences for your loss! An emotional, sad yet beautiful and well fitting memorial you created!
Ahhh thank you so much my friend, it is really appreciated more than I can say in words. Miss him so much every day, hope this is a place that he would be so so happy in~
@@MechanicalFiend you're very welcome - is sending you a virtual hug ok?
re-watching this again 8 months later still is so very touching and watery eyed
Gorgeous work Devon! Love the idea, the art, the build, and the entire feel of this project + video. So sorry for your loss.
Ahhh you're far too kind, thank you so much! I really loved working on this one, put all the work I could into it for him haha. The kind words are appreciated more than I can say~
So beautiful! Both the work and story behind it. You can feel and see all the love put into it.
Ahhh well thank you so much for saying that, I really hope he would think so too. I tried to pour everything I could into this for him, miss him more every day tbh 💜
A beautiful tribute to your beloved cat. Creative, inspirational and emotional video.
The my boy section had me bawling tbh
I used to have a lovely man that looked just like your mango, and he lived far longer than me even (as in he was born far before me), and I grew up with him. He was really special and I wish I could have honored him like you honored your mango.
