In the case of the deer god's destruction of the forest and Tataraba, Smith and Parsons said that the "supernatural forces of destruction are unleashed by humans greedily consuming natural resources".S. Miyazaki’s other achievements include the highly regarded manga series Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Starting Point: 1979-1996, a collection of essays, interviews, and memoirs that chronicle his early career and the development of his theories of animation. Para comenzar, el libro se abre con numerosos poemas escritos por Hayao Miyazaki sobre cada uno de los personajes principales de la película y uno general en la misma primera página. The decision to use computer graphics was made early in the production at Miyazaki's request, starting with the opening sequence of the demon god. Even with this lack of focus, it was a great opportunity to get back into the feudal Japan-inspired world of Princess Mononoke through the artwork.

A variety of techniques were eventually used in the animation process: digital ink and paint, used to color the frames; 3D rendering and digital compositing, which put the hand-drawn images in a three-dimensional environment to create more visual depth; and morphing and particle effects, which create additional detail and smoother transitions. Back then, man and beast lived in harmony, but as time went by, most of the great forests were destroyed. Its very pretty to leaf through and look at, as Ghibli's style of painting their backgrounds and landscapes and designing their characters has always been rather pleasing to my eye. Princess Mononoke is one of those films that stay with you, and the art from this piece in particular is absolutely beautiful.
