Description It's been a while but I've had work and stuff going on in my life, hadn't had much time to myself. Sigh...

I decided on a whim to do a little environment painting of the Guardian Sapling, but then it just grew and grew from there (exactly like a tree ) and became this mini wonderland. I love Okami so much, I'm completely enchanted by the game, it's so beautiful <3.

This image took me a long time, a lot of chopping and changing and expansion. Yeeeah....it started off very small and focused on a small area but then it just got bigger and bigger and bigger!

I have prints available! Please don't hesitate to ask.

You're more than welcome to buy it as a print. That's the only way you'll be able to have it in your living room. Please send me a note if you're interested.

I have sent prints all over the world, so I can assure you that France would be absolutely no problem at all If you still wish to buy a print, please send me a note and we can discuss it further.

I swear to amaterasu that i've made an account here just so i could leave you a comment. This game has a very special place in my heart and few things in this world make me as blissfully happy as playing it.
I came across your art on a tumblr or something, and just had to know where did it came from. This picture almost made me cry, i can't even draw a freakin straight line and you came up with this! It's mindblowing to me.
Anyway congratulations, you are one sharp artist. This is the best okami fanart i've ever seen, and i've seen A LOT.
In the description you said you have prints available, is that so? Because i am seriously consering framing this.

Wow!!Thank you so much! Your comment was really awesome and so so sweet! Okami is very special to me too, it transports me to a gorgeous universe every time a play it and no other game (yet) has touched me in the way that this has. I felt so inspired by it that I created this piece and it was sort of therapy for me because the world of Okami is so beautiful.

Thank you for your enthusiasm, your words are really touching. I can hand-on-heart tell you that if you enjoyed this artwork on a screen, it's a hundred times more luscious in real life. Prints are always available if and when you want it. Just drop me a Note if you're interested

Just wow. Some people can combine their talent and hard work to create some truly amazing art. Okami and Guardian Sapling is one such piece of art.

Anybody can deny their emotions haven't been influenced the moment you have taken look at THIS?

Beautiful, black-dicefish. Please more of this

It evokes piece of mind. I can totally see myself looking at it while listening to relaxing music. Will help to deal with stress after a hard day at work.
Using it as my desktop background atm.

I was always wondering who the original artist for this drawing was and just found out today. It's an awe inspiring drawing of Ammy and a guardian sapling in it's environment. Thx for creating such beautiful artwork

Hi there, this is such a beautiful piece! I don't know if you know but I purchased a silk poster of this on AliExpress and only found out it was yours by the watermark on the bottom right, if I had known it wasn't an official bit of art I would have tried to buy it straight from you.
It's very stunning nonetheless.

I have to thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have not authorised anyone to sell my work on any third party website. The fact that someone has taken my work without permission and is profitting from it is worry to me. Thank you for your lovely words none the less. In future, please support the artist by buying the artwork directly from them.

You're welcome, I figured it was stolen as soon as I got it so I looked you up and found you right here
I hope you can get it sorted, if you need a link to it or something let me know.
I don't worry, I feel really guilty for buying it now (I actually bought 3 and found out one of the other ones was in the same boat black-dicefish.deviantart.com/… ) I will always try to buy from the artist, this time was the first I hadn't and I wouldn't have if I had noticed beforehand.

I'm glad that you found me, thank you for bringing all this to my attention and for being honest. I can guarantee I would have provided you with a far nicer quality print than this person, but you weren't to know so I guess what's done is done. I've contacted the seller and asked them to remove my artwork from their shop. It would probably be wise on your side to report this person for being a fraudulent/counterfeit seller. Maybe that'll make them think twice about using other peoples hard work for their profits, as I can see from browsing their shop that I'm not the only one they've stolen from. It's a shame really.
