I've never played the game Okami, so I went with a more traditional approach and transferred my Amaterasu design into the style of woodblock prints. Done by hand in freestyle sumi brush (including the red flames) with digital color.

Ooooh it looks f'reals :D authenticstyles.. cept maybe the pink. I don't think they had pink ink in oldentimes. XD

It's red, which looks pink the lighter it's applied. Japanese woodblock prints are actually fairly recent in terms of the overall history of such arts (like the japanophile movements in Europe at the turn of the century--heard of Art Nouveau? ;) ) and they had many inks.

The painted version appeared to have such an intricate design, but it translated so snazzy-like into woodblock style!

This is an excellent way of bringing the game's concept back to its roots. I also like how you chose to depict Amaterasu in a more traditional style, compared to some of the more anime-style interpretations I've seen so far. The brush strokes look crisp and solid, but not too clean, which suits both the game and the fact that you used sumi-e brush techniques here.

Thanks for the crit! Actually, I had to force myself to ink somewhat "messy." Most sumi paintings that I've studied are clean, but the game art is much more rough.

You're welcome!

I agree with you that the art in the game is rougher, but I also find it a bit more organic, which is also pretty in its own way, given the game's central focus.
