Description
Part one of a three part series based on the final battle of Okami, so, major spoilers.

Based on the music: Reset, Thank You version

I don't want to seem like an ignorant, stuck up person, but I'm probably going to and I'm not going to stop it. I am sorely disappointed by the fanart/fiction/whathaveyou with Okami. There are some really amazing gems out there for the game, do not get me wrong. But it seems as though a lot of that art/whathaveyou...I don't know. The thing about Okami is that I feel perhaps far too deeply for everything in that game. Every last thing. It gives me goosebumps to bloom a Guardian Sapling, gives me shivers when the true Susano appears, makes me angry and sorrowed when Rao is revealed, and above all, I cry during these scenes of the final battle. I just can't help it. I don't know why, but I do have deep feelings for this game. And for some reason I feel as if the game is soiled when I see another Ushiwaka fangirl squealing her head off about him, or when I see a bishie Okikurmi behind his mask. I don't know why I take it so seriously, but I do. Okami is just...something else. xD; It has been a long, long time since I've enjoyed something as much as I've enjoyed Okami. It's more than just the art for me. This...this reset, this finding of strength through the hearts of companions, friends and enemies, it's realistic. In a metaphorical way, it's the most realistic thing that happens in the game. Ha...Trust me, I know.

I'm sorry for ranting, but I had to somehow. xD;

Inking took a while, and I decided to do the blood digitally instead of scanning the blood I did traditionally even if I prefer the traditional version. Since I did it from memory characters aren't going to look like they do in the game, especially Otohime and the Emperor. Yami was kind of a pain in the ass. Some things didn't come out the way I wanted them to, and some are cliche, but there's really nothing I could do to depict my feelings here.
The second part should be up soonly, whenever I finish inking it.
