Pray for Amaterasu

Okami is one of my all-time favorite games. One bit that actually makes me a little misty is Issun's speech at the end. It's not often you can interrupt a long, nasty boss battle with a sermon and get away with it. So, here's Issun, painting prayer slips like there's no tomorrow and exhorting everyone to pray for Amaterasu.

I haven't used a sumi-style brush in forever because I'm not comfortable with the lack of precise control, but for this piece it seemed the only appropriate tool. The colors are done in a looser fashion than my normal style as well. All in all, this was a fun experiment. Oh, and the picture on the prayer slips is official Capcom art.
