Full view is definitely recommended to see the shoddy details XD.

Originally for the Okami contest. I'm slightly disappointed with the winners that the DA staff picked -_-.

I tried to show what Amaterasu's Bloom might look like after the brush technique. Dead land suddenly sprouts grass where she stands (and glowing yellow Praise :D) and the celestial cherry blossom petals glow and start becoming part of the tree from the top. The clean water ebbs towards the tree as well.

I added in the kanji because I thought the white border too plain. Read from top down:

O - kami (wolf/god) (haha pun!)
Eien (eternity)
Saisei (rebirth)
taiyou (sun)
souzou (creation)
suuhai (worship)
shugo (protection)
shinrai (trust)
Satsugaisha (slayer)
Densetsu (legend)
Yuuki (courage)

For the record, I don't actually know how to read or write kanji and just copied some things online, so my strokes may not make any sense .

I'm really inept with the sumi-e style, but I tried to add this "painted" feel with black "ink' by outlining a few things. For the ground texture, I skewed the parchment background provided in the resources pack. For the water, I layered the cloud/swirl parts of the same parchment background.

Amazing picture, great composition and perspective.

The coloring looks great, nice and vibrant!! It's great to see Okami drawn in your own style, most entries are in the sumi-e style.

The cherry blossom tree looks great!!!

Amazing entry! :D Good luck ^__^
