Artist's Comments

A birthday present for one of my bestest friends! She requested human!Amaterasu and the Medicine Seller from Okami and Mononoke, respectively. I had a LOT of fun with this one. It was my first real piece done in Photoshop instead of Painter, I'm finally learning!

EDIT: There seems to be some confusion. Mononoke is NOT short for Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke, it is a new series spun off from the anime Ayakashi. The Medicine Seller is from that.

--------

The sword has been restless, whispering endlessly of discordant notes and propelling him on: there are stories of a creature in the waves that lures fishermen to their doom. He has walked long and far to reach the ocean; it has been a long time since he rested.

At the shore itself he stops where the waves wash highest, and looks up as the sun unfurls overhead, burning away the clouds in a flash of brilliance. A warm breeze touches his face and fades like fond laughter.

He bows to the ocean; he bows to the sun; he moves on.

Beautifull. The scroll design and the colours are very good.

In this time are we loving
Or do we sit here wondering
Why this world isn’t turning round
It’s now or never

Amaterasu is so pretty in this style, I love how vibrant the colors are! Did you use custom brushes to make the pattern on her kimono?

This is Beautiful! It's very Ukiyo-e! Okami shines though in it as well. I approve highly!

I left to go find myself, so if I come back before I return, tell myself I'll be right back.
