Okami: Amateratsu

AT first I didnt put Amateratsu in the middle of it, because I thought they say draw something original and not derivative of it, but when i saw the list of submission i was like, damn! i did the wrong thing! The middle part was suppose to be a guy summoning a dragon, but now its changed to amateratsu.

I traced the original Amateratsu provided and changed its jaw, the opened jaw doesnt look elegant enough, as for the pose, i think the original pose is good enough, but needed slightly more brush stroke, and so i added it. The purple flame was suppose to represent the flame of the purple demon/dragon.

Anyway, I hope you guys like the picture and enjoy the process, do look at my gallery for the "guy summoning the dragon" version! [link]
