Before you comment, please make sure you have read the entire comment. I might have answered one of your questions/nitpicks already.

Colored version: [link]

I did this for one of my projects. It had to be religion-related, so I drew my own version of Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess in Shinto.

The letters on the side is written Amaterasu-Ōkami if I remember, meaning "the Great Goddess" or "the Great Spirit that illuminates Heaven", and it's her full name. The letters on Kusanagi means Ame-no-murakumo-no-tsurugi, "Heaven's Cloud-Gathering Sword".... I used Wikipedia, so I'm not sure ^^;.

Thanks for your nice comment!

Okami happens to be one of my favorite games of all time actually~ What about you? I assume you've played it, but what do you think of the game?

Thanks! Um... I rarely keep count of the hours I take to draw, but it should be around 3 hours. Yep, I draw very slowly XD

I was told about you by :iconlacelette: She said you were an AWESOME artists and great critique...as I can CLEARY see you ARE an awesome artist! There are no horrible anythings in this picture! Everything is wonderful! I can see you had a little trouble with her right hand (MY RIGHT)!!! The fingers look a little too ... I don't know ... rounded! Yeah, rounded! BUT IT'S NOT EVEN A MISTAKE! It's still perfect! When I take a second look at it there really isn't any problem with it! I feel bad becuase the picture is soooooo good and that little mistake is NOTHING!

Wah XD!? Free publicity hehe~

Thank you very much for the very expressive comment XD I would like to discuss about some things you said though ^^.

The thing you pointed out about her right hand is correct, I've noticed it too when I was inking, but couldn't change it because I directly did the inking. This means no sketch first, so no erasing XD;; I'm glad that you saw it and pointed that out though ^.^ OH and it IS a mistake XD!

Perfection is something I'm still far away, but I'm working on being better each time!

Big thanks again, and give a big thanks to Lidiya from me too >w<
