CLP is a coursemate of mine and his concept work is always fab. He won a bunch of PS3 stuff for winning an 'Infamous' comic book competition by Sony a while back, and he's keeping up the winning streak with this one too.
IMO he nailed the Ghibli look perfectly, and you should all check out his stuff over at:
