Amaterasu duking it out with Crimson Helm in the Gale Shrine. My entry to the Okami contest.

To be honest I'm afraid to saying anything about this picture because I've been staring at it too long. And then there's the fact that it's such a departure from anything else I've done recently. Change (or rather, if you've seen my older stuff, regression) is scary. The color red is scarier. The color magenter is scariest.

Okami. Contest or no I was bound to do a tribute for it sometime anyway. Me and my baby brother are total fanatics for this game and we've played through it more times than I care to mention. I think all that's left to be unlocked on our game is that one pesky Stray Bead you have to race Kai (the wolf girl with the antlers) to get... and I'd get it if I actually had access to a working TV in my apartment. BUT I DON'T, NOT YET ANYWAY HAHAHAHAHagh... ghetto.
