Okami, one of my most beloved new game / series from the Wii gen.
The idea for this came to me awhile after beating the Wii version of the game afew years back, I wondered what Amaterasu in her purest form would be, and then it hit me, why not cherry blossoms petals? They’re so abundant and important throughout, after all [and they’re pretty]. :)

This is very lovely. I’m not familiar with the game, but the idea of a being made up of cherry blossom petals is a graceful and beautiful one. She looks fearless, and all the while elegant – small pieces coming together to make a mighty being.
Thanks so much Mui-Ling for you concise, lovely comment! :)
Essentially Amaterasu is the Goddess of the Sun [in Japanese Mythos], and is revived to save the land of Nippon from the return of the 8-Headed Beast, Orochi [also from Japanese Mythos – the entire game is a love poem to it, really].

I really like the overall look of your design and the fact that something so fierce is made from something as tender as cherry-blossom petals. It’s been a long time since I played video games (I used to review games when I was editor of an industry newsletter), but I can still appreciate the appeal. Excellent work!
Thanks alot Celeste, I like that fierce / yet tender angle you brought up too! :)
