Artist's Comments

So, I'm cosplaying Amatseru at Sakura con 2007~ and I had to come up with a human Ammy design for my costume while I try to figure out how to turn myself into a canine. (I can so do it too lawlz 8D)

But, hilarious delusions aside, I came up with this. The art itself was fairly easy, some doodling with the tablet, and then some waterbrushing to try and mimic the style the Okami game has.

The pants are the first part to mention, I went with traditional Miko pants in order to add a bit of spirituality to it. But instead of Plain red, I went with mimicing the design she has.
Ammy is fairly tomboyish, lots of peopel in the game thought she was a he, so I ditched any ideas of Kimonos and whatnot. Thus, she went with an easier battle-ready chest wrap.
The gloves are to add a bit of flare to it. XD
Her hair is messy, short, and uneven, adding onto that tomboyishness to her.
And ofcourse, had to keep the tail and ears. >__>

Also I give credit to [link] for inspiration. X3

Amatseru is © Clover Studios. And so is the background image I threw in there.

Edit:
So alot of people like it. XD I'm quite suprised, actualyl, but very happy. So if you want to use the ideas from it, or use it in an RP, or make your own cosplay from it, all I need is credit and a link to whatever you used it for so I can say that I gave you permission. :3 This keeps me informed on who's using it, and keeps you from getting silly art theft harassment when you asked. XD

-Ayem was given permission to use some ideas from it, which you don't really have to ask for, but I'm glad Ayem did anyways. :3

-Hsumi was given permission to use it in an RP found at this

Edit: Sorry I've been spelling her name wrong. XD It's Amaterasu. Sorry~

Edit: Hoho, I forgot to put the link here when I finished. XD But here it is! [link] My cosplay 8D
During the summer (Apparently Washignton state thinks it's winter right now with the 40 degree weather) I'll throw this on again and get some cool pictures out in the forest. X3

Actually, even though Ameterasu is a girl, in the game she's neutral. Which is why she stares at all the boobs >> . It's an excellent design, but how in the world will you make her paint brush tail?
:iconkamicheetah:
Okay I LOVE this design. If you do this you must take pictures. ;o;

VERY cool design Ara. ^___^ You do the style so well.

So here at the end of this day
Where the world is shaded in gray
I will look to the blue horizons and watch for you to come
When my hope is tattered and torn
When my faith is weathered and worn
I'll look to the blue horizons
:iconarafel:
I'm... trying. XD I've started sewing it... I might give up on this version though and try something else~ Perhaps bind a type of thick wool/rope stuff together?

And to get the paint look I'm going to dip it in black dye. X3

I'm also making Issun and Waka costumes for my friends. XD I've already made waka's puffy things by tieing bits of yarn together.
