Description
The final design of Okami that resulted from my contest! Thanks go to all who participated! I hope you guys like him!---
Name: Okami Yugarou
Age: 23
Height: 6' 3"
Specie: Anthronian
Type: Wolf (humanoid)
Description:
When Okami's parents discovered that Black Elves were going to attack, they sent him to a neighboring tribe for protection. The tribe was being overseen by Katana's father at the time, and he quickly accepted. But when Okami's parents were both murdered during the battle, the wolves knew he must be protected. Katana's father had a family in the tribe adopt the still very young Okami, and they hid him, keeping his true past a secret--giving hope that one day he might take his father's place as the leader of the wolves.
Having grown up as any normal wolf tribe child would, Okami was treated no better than the other children. But his awkward strength was soon discovered when, at the incredible age of thriteen, Okami killed a male Shadow Lurker.
Katana and Okami grew up together and were best friends. They were also betrothed, to their unknowing of course. They played, fought, ate together, swearing they'd never part.
But when the Black Elves heard of Okami's true past, they attacked the tribe, slaughtering the wolves, including Katana's father. The only survivors were Okami, Katana and her two siblings, Hiragana and Kanji. The injured Okami was discovered by a nearby tribe of wolves, for he'd wandered into the forest in hopes of taking cover.
After having been nursed back to health, he returned to his home tribe, only to find no remainders of Katana or her siblings. Thinking she'd been murdered, Okami swore eternal vengeance on the Black Elves.
His love for Katana never dies as the years rolled past. Okami and Katana eventually met again several years later. He reminded her that they were betrowthed, and she said she understood but explained she could not marry until she'd hunted down the ones respinsible for her father's murder.
Years later, Okami finds that Katana was in Prince Eryn's (the prince of the forst elves) castle. Going to 'rescue' her from the 'elven threat', Okami discovers she has fallen in love with Eryn. Enfuriated with hatred and pain, Okami challenges Eryn to a death match over Katana's affection. But will Okami be able to defeat Eryn? ...Will Katana let him?

I love the way you gave his hair that silver sheen. It makes him look all the more real.

Wonderful job! I love his eye and the detail! You have such knack for drawing blood! Such a tragic history. Poor Okami! I love the way his hair falls its wonderful and those soft fluffy ears. I would give him a hug but I'm not sure that that is safe to do

Yay! He just killed/hurt someone and he's smiling! I love the wing-like ponytail thing going on too. ^.^
Abdomen seems a bit skinny to me...His neck is almost as wide as his stomach! But, could be a stylistic thing, I dunno. Still looks great regardless!

Okami: I fear dear KOUGA would be no match for me.
Kouga: WHAT was that?!
Okami: I SAID you're a weakling.
Kouga: Okay! That's it! You'd better be ready for me, cause I'm gonna mow you DOWN!
Okami: *yawn* If you really feel you must continue with this childish attack, you may, but I must warn you--
Kouga: ARRRUGH! *runs at him, creating small tornadoes as usual*
Okami: *grabs Kouga's tail, pulls him from the wind and throws him aside easily*
Kouga: OOF! Hey! How--?!
Okami: I too can move fast. Not as fast as yourself, perhaps, but I can easily sense your movements, enabling me to stop your reckless attacks. And don't even think about attacking me with that sword of yours, for I am unbeatable in the art of the blade. I suggest that you stand down and admit your defeat or die like the moron you would be.
Kouga: .... *growl*
Okami: *smirk* That's what I thought. *walks into the forest*

Thanks for the fav!
Yeah, Okami's wicked-cool, if yuh ask me! I really like his character, especially since he's Katana's 'boyfriend' ^^". Be sure to check her out in my gallery if you can. She's the ony with the golden/strawberry blonde hair and a big poofy tail! She's half fox gauddess, half wolf anthronian ^^. She's awesome.
