#okami ninetails

[ramenrescue]

I just have a lot of feelings about Ninetails from Okami... like what it if was on track to be a celestial brush god and then it didn't make the cut, so it just ran off with its reject pal(s).

God chose the zodiacs based on first-come-first-serve (the cat didn't make it in Japanese legend, which is interesting considering he's included in Okami as a brush god), so I'm just going "what if there were more animals that didn't make the cut?"

Day 5, Books

Another oc piece :) Along with my God Ninetails, Rie.

I wanted to make this pretty silly, since Yōko is a fanfic writer on the side along with her celestial envoy duties.

Her thoughts is essentially what she’s writing :3 or at least what she’s thinking of while writing.

Okami spoiler warning before I post a thing I've been musing about.

Okay anyone else remember the Ninetails boss?

I was thinking about his design for a while. At first I'm thinking piñata but then I remembered in Okami exorcist slips are used not just by the player but other characters as precautions against demons. Demons are so common of an enemy in game that every shop has exorcist slips to buy and they never go out of stock.

So what am I trying to say is what happens when an 'evil' like Ninetails is fought for so long did the strips of exorcist paper end up both harming the Ninetails and yet created a false holy cover that allowed him the way to easily mimic a priestess like Rao? Like maybe before you even battled him, Ninetails was significantly stronger? So other people's attempts at exorcism on him could have given him the illusion of a god in game. Think about how many slips did it take to completely cover Ninetails and yet he is still capable of being a very formidable boss fight. It makes me wonder sometimes.

Could you imagine an inverse? A hero who fought evil so long he gets mistaken for the wicked he slain? Like what would a demon use instead of exorcist slips or holy water for their version of purification? (or would it just be defilement in general?)

Reason I'm posting about this is because of a rumor of a true sequel to Okami. Like I did enjoy okamiden and probably might replay it again later. But I'm still excited about the idea of a sequel anyone could play.

It's kind of a late followup to my Mei ref sheet but I decided to do one of my human Ninetails too!

This one was a little more complicated than my Mei reference sheet because of the extra details in her design and I again decided to use flatter colours, as well as including the base colours for things like her jewellery too.

Fun fact, as well as nine prongs on her kanzashi headpiece her sash also has nine 'tails' coming off of it. I like to imagine that they flare out like a peacock's tail when she's angry haha ;)

Day 31, Gratitude

The sun returns.

Happy Halloween! A big one for today and one that I’ve been itching to draw since the beginning of this thing when I first saw the list!

This is very au focused, specifically for my The Sun is Gone au, but I think it can be enjoyed even without a lot of knowledge of the au details.

This comic page shows Ninetails finally becoming a god, during the scene where Amaterasu gets all her powers back in the main game.

I know the yellow ver of yami isn’t technically supposed to be here in this scene but I needed space filler and it fits really well for that.

Last in this big rant of mine, is the fact that I really love this piece! It came out pretty much exactly how I wanted it to and I’m so proud of actually being the person that made it. I hope y’all like it too!

Will probably take a break from drawing but I might post some older art in the meantime :)
