I did this for Capcom's official fan art contest for their game Okami. I am a big fan of the game's art style, and I thought I would give it a try in sculpture form! I used silk flower petals for the cherry blossoms.
Super sculpey over wire and foil armature, acrylic paints, silk flower petals.
Dimensions: 10.5" x 9" x 6"
EDIT : Wow, I was awarded third place for this! I am honestly very surprised and honored.
I did this to challenge myself with a new style, I've been blocked for months. This helped me to unblock; I never expected to win anything, especially with all the amazing entries I saw.
Holy cow. =O It's really amazing! I love the fire around the Reflector, as well as her swirls on her tail and legs. I've never been able to get those right.
I hope you win!

This is beautiful! I'm happy to see some other kinds of media besides just drawing, and you did this simply awesomely! I love the swirls on her fur, it's wonderful!
This is absolutely stunning! The fact that you could communicate the sumi-e art style in sculpture just...blows my mind. I showed this to my friend and, to quote her, "this defies words." I could talk for hours and not communicate how amazed I am, lol. The pose is unique and very Ammy-esque--I'm kind of wondering how it balances though; it looks like it shouldn't be able to stand up, even with the base. But, that makes it even more magical. *-* I'm going to have to fave this. Just... wow.
whoaaa that's awesome! I love the paint job you've done here, and all the detail! The silk flowers are such a nice, delicate touch! Best of luck with the contest!

In this article I'll talk about establishing a process of working on art that will help you turn out much better work without as much struggling or confusion.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.

We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

Well done on the fire. It must have been quite a challenge to sculpt believably! :>
