The Sun Rises - Okami

Description

I FINISHED.

I mean, I only like...the right robe shading. Other than that, I don't really think this is a great picture. Seriously. I don't understand the sun, the fire, and the rest of the clothing.

Plus, those clouds look like...puke. And that "sun" in the background is a pile of SHIT. It just looks like WHITE GRADIENT. HONESTLY.

I was going to write in "Okami Amaterasu" in ...japanese/chinese, like a caligraphy painting, but that detracts a lot from the composition, and it bugged me a lot.

I HATE THE BACKGROUND. IT'S SO BAD FOR THE PICTURE. ))): [SAD FACE]

But other than the shitty background, I had a lot of fun with this, toying around with opacity and whatnot.
And I seriously like how the left robe looks so much diferent from the right robe. And how there's like, absolutely no defined light source, despite the fact that there's a sun thing in the background.

As for the title, that is drawn from the actual song "The Sun Rises" from the game. It's insanely epic, and I get like...the hopeful-feeling-shivers every time I listen to it.
I was just doodling around on Photoshop, trying to think of something to draw-- just letting my mind and hand go-- when this song popped up on shuffle, and somehow, I drew the outline of Amaterasu looking ...serene.

And...I forgot what I was going to say.

...

Well. If any of you try and steal this piece: NICE TRY. Because I signed my name in a flurry of details! So don't even bother. (:

Constructive criticism pleeasse!

This is officially going into my headcanon folder on Tumblr, along with Genzoman's Amaterasu, for what Amaterasu's Celestial Form looks like (the one she would do battle with).
This one has the celestial markings right, she has the reflector, the hair, I love the designs on the kimono, I just.... *flailing happily*
this is wonderful, it's perfect, you're perfect, thank you for this awesome drawing. ♥ ♥ ♥
