Artist's Comments
Before I start drawing this on the computer I'd love to get some good critique on this. I've been working on this sketch for a few months now, so I want this to be one of the best pictures I've ever drawn.
Of course, I just HAD to draw more Okami fanart. XD The game is so amazing. This sketch didn't even start out as an Okami picture... it just evolved into one. XD The weapon on Amaterasu's back is the Infinity Judge, which I couldn't find a good reference for... so I made one for myself. I got bored of drawing lines on it, though, so I'll finish them on the computer. Also... which of my styles would this look best in? I'm not sure which to do. Okami is copyright to Capcom/Clover Studios. Art is copyright to me (=Ecw321) Comments
 Wow, nice sketch! (: I can't wait to see the end result!
And for critique; maybe try fixing the right area of the shoulder, it looks a little disconnected from the body. And maybe make the eyes a little bigger? But still, a lovely picture. :3  -- "That's why I call myself a witch now: The Wicked Witch of the West, if you want the full glory of it. As long as people are going to call you a lunatic anyway, why not get the benefit of it? It liberates you from convention." - Elphaba.  YAY! OKAMI!!!!
Uhm..... I've told you about my crtitique about the toungue....so I have nothing. YAY! GUD JOB LIZZIE! ME LOVE IT! Spelling errors -- Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. -Theodore Roosevelt Ecw321, my best friend, made my wonderful icon. I probably won't be changing the tongue because I like how the face is right now, but thanks anyway!
-- Icon template by =Coloriffic. ME know, you already told me.
ssso much beauty in one piece of amazing! -- Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. -Theodore Roosevelt Ecw321, my best friend, made my wonderful icon. Thank you! I'm still deciding whether to make this take place after the battle of Ninetails, after the battle of Orochi, after the battle of Lechu & Nechu, or after the battle of Yami.
You probably have NO IDEA what on earth I'm talking about, eh? XD -- Icon template by =Coloriffic. Nope. Not that far yet, hon.
-- Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. -Theodore Roosevelt Ecw321, my best friend, made my wonderful icon. Who you callin' "hon", honey? I think I have the seniority here, dear. ;D
-- Icon template by =Coloriffic.  Very nice, Liz C: The feet are wonderful, and the pose is simple yet poignant to the feel of the picture. I do have a few critiques I can give ya, though, I think.
As it's been said, the right front leg is rather awkward - however, you know that, so I won't say anything more. The nose could probably be a bit bigger on the face, as well as the eyes, since they sort of get lost in the creases in her Ammy's face. Also, the chest area seems a little large in comparison the waist. I think it might be a good idea to either slender the chest a bit ^^ Overall, though, very nice O: I can't wait to see it finished. As for the style you should do it in, I think you should do it in a similar style to which you did your fanart for Kesame - [link] |

Critiques
I like this, but there are a few notable anatomy flaws to speak of. The foremost paw seems much too wide - it looks as if the toes are meant to be somewhat spread, but there isn't much of a gap between the one furthest to our right, and the large one neighboring it. Also, the curve attaching that toe to the leg curves outward too much, which gives the entire paw a lot of its wide appearance.
The front leg on our left side seems somewhat unattached from the body. Angled differently, or moved in closer to the body, it might look a bit better.
The fluff of the chest, with the sudden drop to the stomach, makes her appear maybe a bit too skinny.. or throws off the perspective a bit. I think that pulling that chest line to the left might help this.
Stylistically, I'm not sure if the head fits the rest of the figure. She looks almost like a monster, but maybe if her eyer were pulled down a bit closer to her nose, she would look better? Possibly even a bit too heavy on the angry nose wrinkles (this is the best technical term ever, lol).
Finally, there's a lump right below the "knee" that looks strange to me. I'm not sure it should curve outwards here.
Okay, so about the things I like. The pose is fairly dynamic, and attractive. I adore her tail, and all of the other details on the swirly bits. Overall, aside what I've already mentioned, her paws are attractive and well-formed. I haven't played the game, so I don't know what to call it, but the floating stuff above her back really adds a lot to the piece too. You've improved so much since I first met you, it's stunning - really.
If you want a red-line about any of the things I've mentioned, let me know. I would be happy to provide one!
I love this for one, his face and OMG THOSE PAWS i love them. the back one is my favorite.
But I will say that the front right paw (left of the page, the back front one) it seems short, like i know its supposed to be further back but it seems a little ditached on the sholder half and seems too short....I dunno, I know nikki is a good person to ask...ill refer her to this, i know she can help.
I need for more words. I LOVE YOU.
