Somoguy [ChilledCow channel] launched a call for projects, which was won by a student from the Émile Cohl School, Juan Pablo Machado: “He wanted to reproduce the same studious action and style as Studio Ghibli,” he explained in an interview with ARTE (photo). “I took the images he had referenced in his call for projects and started drawing.” Rather than imagining a series of characters on paper, as he usually did, he began his creation directly on a graphics tablet and computer to save time: “I worked mostly at night, because I was at school during the day. I took all the elements I had around me at the time: the books you see on the desk, the lamp…”
He also imagined different backgrounds depending on the time of day: "In the very first image, I had a black background with rain. For the daytime version, I decided to set the character in the city where I studied, Lyon. I loved this city. I took a lot of images of the Croix-Rousse district from Google and designed my background from photo collages of buildings.
Well that’s the end of them, if social media has taught me anything it’s that copying anybody else’s style is completely taboo and anyone who does it is evil and deserves nothing but ridicule.
e: social media sure doesn’t like looking in the mirror
“stealing art for my/my favorite techbro’s computer project should be legal and since it’s not yet, I’ll go around completely misrepresenting arguments in order to make them seem like they are the ones who are out-of-touch”
