Artist's Comments

I really didn't have time to do this....I really didn't....

But most of you know how I feel about fanart as an artform in and of itself and if a company is willing to show their respect for the genre by teaming up on a contest like this, especially for a game that really took a chance artistically, I feel a need to show that same respect and appreciation in turn by participating in some way. I started working on it and stopped a hundred times, but like I said, I really felt strongly about doing something, so I took some time today to finish.

At any rate, for the Okami Fanart contest, I started out going the sumi-e route, but it just didn't feel like it was saying anything new, so I latched on to the Kabuki tradition as something related artistically and this is where I ended up.

Media: Line art-Brown Colerase on Dura-lene, Background is a piece of papyrus paper I have & scanned, writings are brushes I made from my writing, all other painting done with a combination of Photoshop and Painter.
