Description
Ever wondered what the Canine Warriors would look like in human form? Well, here ya go!I didn't come up with the designs! I copied them from the Okami Artbook and colored them in based on appearance and orb color. I've included the outline for those who think they can do better.
And here's a little tibit; they're all named after the Confuscianism virtues.
Man oh, man does my scanner hate orange. I know Tei's oufit looks a lot like Gi's but the only other option for Tei was a loincloth with a sash and the orb around his neck. I don't know about you but I don't want to see an overweight man wear that! On the subject of appearance; I expected his human design to be more like some big macho Mr. Universe type, not so Sumo-esque. But those Sumo wrestlers are seriously strong, too. I know his dog form has lots of scars and I wanted to keep them but I wasn't sure how to draw them. While on that subject, his breed is some Blood Hound mix I'm assuming. In his face you can see it but not in his body.

didn't want to comment on each one but i love all this series! you're very talented.
Tei is a Tosa Inu, they were originally a spitz breed but were crossed with mastiffs sometime in the late 1800's and took more after them in looks and the reason his human form is probably a sumo wrestler is because the Tosa Inu is traditionally a fighting breed. but unlike most dog fighting, they do not fight by biting or actually hurting one another. they do a sort of doggy sumo wrestling where they try to push one another out of the ring. growling, biting, and any actual sign of agression is discouraged, it's all about strength and honor.

Bloodhound? Started playing Okami again here and just defeated Orochi in the present. I thought he was a bit of a Mastiff
