A thank you for 500 pageviews for my devart account. The background was left very, very plain and undetailed deliberately to give Ammy more life and the background less, the same feel the game gave. Also to make it look like she's going to leap out of the pic. Unfortunately, I think I failed. :(

I don't know if I want to give a high rating; I run the risk of making this piece as overrated as this game is ;)

Ooooookami!
Why don't you have a go at the sumi-e style of the game? Could be interesting!

The background is really nice, but Ammy's rear hind/legs look a bit...stiff? If that's what you call it. But really beautiful anyway :D

Actually that's pretty similar to the kind of color scheme they use in the game.

I do like it, but I have a few things to point out. Firstly, the left frontmost paw is a bit too bendy. It might help to flatten the roundness around the joint and define aforementioned joint a bit more. Also, and this one isn't a biggie, it might look a little closer to the style of the game to exaggerate the outline in some areas. http://www.icicle.f2s.com/site/images/okami.jpg

In that picture, you can see that the outline gets very thick around some areas, while it's nearly nonexistant around the others.

Finally, on the red stripes, and outline probably isn't necessary. Instead of bordering it off from the rest of the color, it might help to use a little AA to try to fade it in to the white fur.

On a positive note, I really like how you stylized the fire around the mirror, and the overall concept of the picture is an excellent start.

I think it'd look a lot better with some AA. :p (Would probably relate better to the style of the game)

Maybe you could increase the "contrast" between the two. Maybe make the background lighter and less saturated?
