This picture I'm very happy with. Very happy with.
*SPOLIER for the game Okami*
It all started as I was running around in Okami, and discovered an ice-covered land. As I innocently run inside the nearest shelter with a fire inside (a fire not started by me, anyway), I'm suddenly faced with the inhabitant and owner of that shelter. Thus I meet the great warrior, Oki: at the other end of his sword. Not wanting to destroy his own possessions in order to rid himself of this hairy and (more than likely, albeit she is supposed to be a god) stinky intruder, he runs outside, with the white wolf close on his heels, curious about this solitary warrior. Duuuude, that fight was by far my favorite up to this point in the game. The guy transforms into a wolf, for goodness sake! How much cooler can he get?!
*END SPOILER*
So, I immediately decided to chronicle my favorite characters. I spent a good while sketching this one out. Again, I've tried to immitate the Sumi-e style from the game with my marker, but as to my success in that, I don't think I've accomplished that yet. No, my pride and joy comes from when I started adding color. Ahhhh... Then the characters really came to life.
My biggest problem was coming up with a color for Amaterasu's kimono. True, she's a white wolf in the game, but in the picture from Wikipedia, her robe isn't completely white. I compromised with sun-rise type colors, fading from a peachy pink to yellow, and then white. The green obi is for that Divine Mirror she's so famous for carrying around on her back in all the official pictures from the game.
I'll stop my ranting now. Perhaps my brother is right? Perhaps I am a little obsessed with the game? ... ... Nah. Obsessed people draw more than one picture for the game. XD (EDIT: Oh, hypocrite that I am... )
Media: Sketch Book paper (EDIT: 80 lb. paper from Bienfang) Pencil Eraser Faber-Castell Pitt Pens Copic Markers Prismacolor Markers
EDIT: Hopefully the wolves are more of the focal point now. What do y'all think?
EDIT2: Finished the game. My favorite fight must be where Oki teams up with you to fight... a certain villain. (MWAHAHAHA! You must play the game to find out just how awesome that fight is and against whom it is fought! )

Wait, no. You need to do the comic, so no requests from me. DX
