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.
this is a cool take on the game! unfortunately, i've never played it (DYING to), but out of all the art i've seen of it, yours is among the most original. the colors and the lighting are so wonderful!

The human habit of trying to understand the world with a limited knowledge of it.... is beyond foolish.
