Okami Now! Blog

The kind of artworks that Ōkami’s Issun (Ammy’s bug/friend) might paint:
Artworks that explain Ammy’s might and fitness to rid Ōkami’s polluted “Nippon” (ancient mythical Japan) of its demons, and inspire devotion towards Ammy amongst Nippon’s adults who have lost faith in the “Brush Gods”, or never had any faith to begin with.

These are works of art that depict a maturity and strength, that can only come with wisdom and experience, and a confidence that can only be earned by achievement. It is this kind of champion, that can still inspire confidence inside a jaded and tired heart.

Ammy eating food… she absolutely LOVES food!
If Ammy weren’t banishing demons all day and burning off all those excess calories, she’d be as heavy and wide as “Sleepy the Bear”!

A fond and more personal reminder of Ammy, for those who know her well enough to not need a poster-type of picture to remember her by.

To continue this series of themed fanart blog posts, let’s imagine how those who had “actually witnessed” Ammy might want to remember her.

The kind of painting, drawing or sketch best understood by its owner; almost like a fond portrait of a family member, or admired and understood hero.

Paintings and drawings that show the splendour and beauty of nature and life, in the world that Ammy watches over.

To launch the series of posts featuring my favourite Ōkami fanart, what better theme to choose than “furball” Sun Goddess Ammy’s favourite theme!

All of these artworks show Ammy clearly “in her element” – the scenery that feels like home the most. Beautiful flowers, lush grass, healthy trees, clear water and surely a fresh and scented breeze. There are colours and life all around.
