Daybreak: Let it Flow

Description

My interpretation of how Amaterasu, at her strongest as the sun rises, restores nature to its former glory! She moves so fast that her limbs cannot be seen :la:!

My very first official fan art! This is none other than the Mother and Origin of All that is Good, Amaterasu from the video game Okami! The rights to Okami and 'Ammy' belong to Capcom, of course.
 
Anyway, when I started this, I didn't exactly like it. I had the plan in my head, but inexperience combined with the fact that the plan was not set in stone was hindering me somewhat. I still am not a huge fan of the transition of colors between Amaterasu's reflector and the greenery in her wake, but once I began to ink it out, I grew to like it more and more. I am proud of the final product, and that is what is important!

I might consider acquiring actual watercolor paints in the future, instead of watering down my acrylic paints like I do. But it probably does not matter for the amount of art I actually get around to doing, being a full time undergraduate university student.

As for references, Ammy's pose was inspired by (but not religiously adhered to) my current wolf-themed calendar by Brown Trout.

NOTE:
This artwork should not leave DeviantART. If I see it anywhere online and/or under anyone else's name, I will report it. Thank you!

I've only just replayed this awesome game, and I have to say I love the dynamic you displayed in this picture. You can see Ammy bringing back the green, restoring nature and defeating darkness (also, who needs feet, anyway?). The flames on her mirror weapon are real cool, too!
