Artist's Comments
My entry for the Okami Contest. I also included the brush that seemed to be such an integral part of the game.
I bet you're wondering why a legally blind artist would enter it. Well, I've seen the game because a friend has it, and it is one of VERY few games I can actually see well.
A bit of explanation. I tried to show how the character gins a life of his own, moving from the stylized strokes of the game to a more realistic apprearance. I also included the brush that seemed to be so integral to the game. I've never done anything this stylized before, so hopefully its okay. I used the stock logo too. If I need to use one of the licence things, someone let me know which one.

You're legally blind? Forgive me, but how the Hell do you draw so well? I have trouble drawing in a room with artificial lighting, and I have 20/20 vision.
I can't possibly imagine how you do it.
I can imagine that Okami would be easier to see than most games... with all the bright colors and bold black outlines.
And it's funny, nobody really draws the brush, and it IS really important... apparently the brush is actually Amaterasu's tail, but that would be kind of hard to use, if you think about it...

Sorry, out of tact. Try again later.

Well, you sure adapted to the style well. The only thing driving me nuts about the picture is the eyes, but that's just because the original art didn't give Ammy any irises... actually, they didn't really give ANYONE irises!
Oh, and hello again. This is Tal. Chatted with you before on Dee's forums (long time ago).

One again, Windy's art manages to play tricks on my eyes. I'm just used to it being a quasi-mosaic effect. O_o

I find it interesting that you should be able to see a game in stylized form, better than something that tries to better simulate real life.
However, that doesn't mean I don't think its cool.
Okami is one of the few games I've been able to totally complete in many years....and it was very fun.
I can see why you would enjoy it!
But, back to the picture...
I feel you di a very good job capturing the essence of the story, and Amaterasu. It's very well drawn...and the brush is a nice touch.
Nicely done love!

But gently resting in time
To simply watch the world
And have it pass me by
Blissfully
