Description ...From the very first second I saw these twin bosses, I just sat and gaped. I laughed a little and loved the design SO much.
More Okami boss fanart.

It was totally NOT what I was expecting. When I heard "twin demons of 2 seperate mountains" in Okami's oriental setting, I was expecting something a la the ogre like Rudra and Agni from Devil May Cry.

Then I was presented with clockwork owl demons, in top hats with canes... and they were the boss of the ice temple [always my favourite type of area in games].

So yes. Lechku on the left, Nechku on the right. Twin demons of the Ezofuji mountains that seize Wawku shrine and plunge the mountain region of Kamui into merciless blizzards.

I put a lot of time and effort into this piece, and I'm pretty happy with how this came out. Pencil and inks as usual. Scanned very nicely for an A3 picture [A4 scanner].

Probably going to enter it in the competition-the topic is boss fights.

Thanks in advance for any comments-they are all very much appreciated.

they look like a cross between Clockwerk(machine-wise) from sly cooper and the Grand Duke of Owls (physical shape) from Rock-A-Doodle.

all in all they're great.

Ahahaha! They are adorable. I can't wait to fight them! They look like a ball!

I agree that this is one of your best pieces in terms of detail, shading, and composition. Plus it doesn't hurt that the filenames were "ORLY?" and "YA RLY" and that the subjects are adorable. I'm going to hate killing them.

Beautiful piece overall, really a pleasure to see!! Definitely a fave for me

You probably have fought them by now what did you think?

Thanks so much for the kind comments and the favourite It was very much appreciated, even if I was about 2 months late to show said appreciation <_<;

VVatchword In reply to Faulken [2007-07-31 16:10:46 +0000 UTC]

I... haven't gotten to them yet! Would you believe: our gaming TV blew a fuse and exploded (WHILE I was playing Okami, incidentally). And it's been too much trouble to get to the other two TVs (one's my sister's and she's got this thing about people being in her room... and the other's in the living room and it's a bother to my parents when I use it, since I want to play for a few hours generally).

I'm nearly to the Dragon Palace, though. It's a GOOD, GOOD game. And long!! I love it! Very satisfying and downright hilarious game in every way!

Say, can you by any chance do me a little favour on the topic of Okami, if it's conveniant at all that is... I ordered an English print version of the artbook of Okami, but my order was cancelled and I can't seem to find any info on it. Are you aware of whether it was actually published in America, or is there some way you could help me find out (harder to rely on internet sources, not living in America <_<, because otherwise I'm just going to order the japanese one.

I hope perhaps it's just been delayed, as I passionately want that artbook-there are few games out there I've loved as much in every aspect as Okami.

Oh and have you had a chance to play it more at all..? Quite understandable if not.

VVatchword In reply to Faulken [2007-09-06 02:49:56 +0000 UTC]

I'll gladly help you get it. Any more information on it?

I have not. Our video game tv exploded. But recently my brother went and worked a very hard job for very good wages and got himself a 62" tv. D8 Soon, my Okami fast will be over.

Lechku and Nechku are my favorite boss battle. Not sure why that is, because it's a hectic battle, but it was tons of fun...plus it's just fun to fight along side other characters (at least I think so...)

I can tell you really worked hard on this. The mechanical components on them look pretty cool, and me likes how you made the tree mechanical also, though that might have been in the game, too...👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Faulken In reply to stoneclaw [2007-04-29 13:55:10 +0000 UTC]

I agree about fighting alongside Oki little touches like that can make a boss fight that much more interesting.

Thanks for such a nice, well thought out, flattering comment-it was a pleasure to read

Lechku and Neckhu= That boss battle made me drool. It was fuuun. And Oki! xD


Aye, you did a good job on these two. Machine-esque things are hard, I find. And I especially like Lecku for some reason. Maybe because he was my favorite of the two in the game...or something....

These oddball characters are always so interesting drawn in your style. I like your details. They're certainly very amusing characters to look at-- even if I'm not familiar with Okami. Good job.

Faulken In reply to Hakuramen [2007-04-29 13:53:29 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much-happy to know that they're pretty appealing even beyond Okami fans. I would really reccomend playing it, if you can find the time. One of the best PS2 games, and quite reminiscent of Zelda in a lot of the gameplay aspects.

UltraViolete [2007-04-05 01:12:13 +0000 UTC]

I still fail for not having Okami 8D

These owls do like awesome bosses though, that's for sure. I also like the level music you sent me on MSN.

I think I like the owly on the left the best.

But yeah, really good job on this picture. Lots and lots of detail as others have said. Lots of detail suits crazy clockwork owls. Hehe their tiny cane holding arms are so hilarious XD The tiny feet as well.

I like the mechanical tree. That's a cool concept, and I like the gears sticking out all over it. So yeah, good job, and awesome owl things 8D

Maybe Capcom IS monitoring our MSN conversations D:

Hey Capcom, make a game where you play as a giant laser shooting ninja robot space zombie kitten from the past plz.

And it is no problem of course^^

Wulfsbane [2007-03-31 16:41:23 +0000 UTC]

This turned out really good, Luke I especially like how the characters seem to pop out due to your whitening of the background. They also make your penciling and shading smoother and I mean that in a positive way. Coming from one who has never seen these two from the actual game, that everyone's been talking about lately, your style with these Okami bosses make them look very interesting that you just want to know more about them.

However I would like to point out one minor thing. The owls don't seem to be projecting any shadows on the branches they're perched on so that sort of makes them seem merged to it from early glances. That's about the only major flaw I can pick up at this point. Once again this is really good work, very smooth on the technical end and it's clear to everyone that you did spend a lot of time on this. I'd say this is one of your finest

Faulken In reply to Wulfsbane [2007-04-01 18:20:56 +0000 UTC]

You are right about the branches! Dammit, I knew I'd forgotten something!! I meant to do that before I scanned it in...

But yes, thank you very much-I spent a long time shading this piece and when scanned in, I whitened up the background and toyed with brightness/contrast to make this look like the best fit. Glad the difference is evident in shading for this piece

Thanks very much for the comment! Very happy to hear you think it's one of my best!

And wich game is that? And on wich console do you play it? ; Cause you're really getting my interest in it. O.O Most games have like 1 intersting boss you came up with 2(wel actually 3) already.


Love the concept of these 2. Although are they ment to be that fat? o.O

Faulken In reply to xxmykaxx [2007-04-01 17:51:04 +0000 UTC]

The game is 'Okami' and is for the Playstation 2 Glad my drawings are making you curious

They are supposed to be kinda fat-part of the design element and partially just because they're owls
Thanks!

Ohman, I really do need to play more of this game at some point. The bosses seem original, at least! I like how you've drawn 'em almost symmetrical - and the details must've taken ages! :3

*is still thinking of ideas for Okami fanart* ;3

They were so unexpected, but awesome Yeah, this pic did take a fair little while <_< lol

Thanks for the comment-I am still thinking about things for an art trade, but I am indecisive-something Okami based or something based on my original character Face would be cool
I would be happy to do mine of something Link's Awakening if you can think of anything

Ooh, I'd be happy to draw a Face-related pic if you want :3 just need some refs! As for link's awakening, something based on some of the stuff you can do with Marin (hurhur :B) would be cool...
