Artist's Comments

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.

Thank you for all your kind words and comments!

It turned out beautifully!

Well done on the fire. It must have been quite a challenge to sculpt believably! :>
Beautiful sculpture, I think you did a great job capturing the Okami style. :3

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! =D

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!
...if you don't win with that, then the contest is rigged. o.o
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.

Art is desperate.
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! :D
