Bow-Wow! Okami fanart that’s a lot like the Okami fanart paintings and drawings in “Ammy the Symbol” but for a younger audience – an audience that still hasn’t felt the urgency of acquiring wisdom, but instead seeks adventure and excitement. (Resulting in the “unintended side-effect” of wisdom.) These artworks show, and also invite the brashness…

The post HEY AMMY!: Okami Fanart Gallery #11 first appeared on Okami Now!.

What makes Ammy happy? Nature, beauty, friends, and simply life itself? Probably any of those things, but “borrowing” turnips may very well be all of those things at once! Think about it; turnips are grown in the soil and part of nature, because nature is beautiful then so are fresh turnips… It’s with friends (Issun)…

Ammy engaged in combat with evil, to bring light, life and beauty back into the world; herself however, inescapably drawn into the brutality, baseness and perils of direct battle. Like the “Divine Retribution” post, but also showing the physical and emotional wounds, as well as the wrenching of the soul that facing evil can inflict.…

In the Okami video game, are Ammy’s eyeballs black, empty voids, or some kind of expression of her spiritual energy? Why are Ammy’s eyes so dark? Some Okami fanart shows Ammy as having normal (or specially coloured) wolf eyes, while some fanart shows Ammy as having purely black eyes, and other fanart will show absolute…

Our favourite bug Poncle Issun, shown magnified so that we may observe him in his natural habitat. Even though Issun was quite superficial and selfish at times, without him Ammy would have failed in her dangerous mission – having pulled himself together when she needed him the most. If you’ve played through Okami, you’ll have…

In November 2020, we’ll be able to get our hands on a new “Nendoroid” Chibi Ammy Okami figure, created under the supervision of Ammy’s character designer Kenichiro Yoshimura. Also, back in June (8th, 2020) it was revealed that Ikumi Nakamura (who worked on the original Okami) wants to visit Capcom headquarters and convince the bigwigs…

The kind of artworks that Okami’s Issun (Ammy’s bug/friend) might paint: Artworks that explain Ammy’s might and fitness to rid Okami’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…

The post Ammy the Symbol: Okami Fanart Gallery #7 first appeared on Okami Now!.

Okami’s Ammy facing evil, so that those she watches over don’t need to. The name “Divine Retribution” not only sounds hardcore, but it’s also the name of the Ammy’s first Divine Instrument (a flaming reflector/shield also used as weapon) at the beginning of Okami. Sometimes combat can be necessary, but who is wise enough to…

So, what are the things that might make Okami 2 enjoyable to you, based on what you enjoyed in the original? What was it about Okami, that you remember with a positive feeling? The reason why I ask, is because it’s been fourteen years since Okami was first released, and a lot of things have…

Okami had plenty of humor, and so it also inspired artists to create funny fanart. Today’s blog post shows wacky and humorous situations from Ammy’s adventures, and also some “what if” interpretations. “What if Ammy were to lick the giant boulders of ice in the Moon Cave, instead of melting them with fire?” Well… I…
