ARMAGEDDON! I DREW FANART!

So, in light of all the various homonid Ammys wandering about dA, I figured I'd offer my own since I point blank like none of the others. XD
Fact of the matter is, they're all too cutesy and generic heroine looking for a game of such awesomeness as Okami. This, in part, is why you never see my draw fanart. Though I'd love to praise and make images commemorating and celebrating some joy of mine, it is often the case that I don't feel that I can portray whatever-it-is at the level that it deserves.
However, several factors have here conspired to produce this: one such being my frustration with the (in my opinion) fugliness of the existing homonid Ammys, another such being the awesomeness of Okami, and the third such being that I'm of the opinion that no one has any business nor right to in anyway portray the face of a god. Maybe that sounds stupidly theological for a game, but it stands, nonetheless. Consequentially, I knew I would require a mask for this and that made life twice as simple as it would have, otherwise, been.

Onward:
So, I used the paintbrush tool as opposed to the airbrush tool since, given that Okami is in the style of Japanese painings, it just made sense. It also cut down the time-spent factor which is all to the good since this is for fun - namely my own amusement - and absolutely no other reason, so it's not like I was going to spend the time to make it truly impressive. It's more fluke that it turned out well. XD

So, I decided to stick in one of every type of weapon and, initially, it was going to be the three most powerful. However, I couldn't remember what they looked like, I couldn't find a suitable reference, and it wasn't like I was going to go to the game and look at its concept art when I was busy on a different floor of the house doing something else whilst drawing.
So, then I was going to do my faves except I hate the glaives 'cause they suck so I only remember what one looks like, and the Divine Retribution (or whatever) reflector is so much more recognizable as an Ammy kind of thing and what havest thou so I went with that. HOWEVER, that is my fave roasry (rosaries are my fave weapon) insofar as appearance goes. X) The fishie!Rosary. Hee.

Initially Issun was in here too, but I erased him 'cause he sucks, mostly. And I didn't care to do him.

Decided that the tail was absolutely necessary given the whole celestial brush business and the fact that her hands are otherwise engaged. tried to get some of the red markings on the clothes as well as the mask, too.

And poo-poo to all the peeps who decided that homonid Ammy would have white hair because she totally wouldn't. Heck, when Mr. GhostManAtCave was like "Oh! Pretty Lady!" I pictured a black-haired Japanese chick. Once again, this is all about sense making.

Made an attempt to get the Reflector-slab-thing's design right but decided it was to painful a task to take on. So I didn't. Ha.

So, yeah. I had my fun. X)
