Artist's Comments

I'm not trying to flood your inboxes, really! :heart:

Here's some more design ideas for Tama and Ame. I did some research on Japanese clothing and holy mother of gob do those people wear a lot of clothes. They wear like five thousand layers of undergarments, and then two thousand more layers of regular clothing. And they still look tiny! What gives?!

So someone suggested I go with an oversized straw hat for AME (previously wrote Tama .___.) because his umbrella hat might look a bit too girly, and I tried that.. and he looked like he was wearing a UFO. ._.;; But I tried. Maybe I just suck at drawing straw hats (that's probably the case).

Tama looks like he stepped out of an A/U Okami fic, but I have no excuse, really. Okami is practically the modern advertisement for Shinto religion, I love the art style, I love the combination of white and red... I was pretty much screwed.

I also got some input on the mask and have decided to go for a very, very basic, very white, very clean Noh mask.

Forgive my kanji. ._________.;

Very nice. I like how it looks like it was actually painted with brushes.

Oh I love the roughness of the lines. Cool brush there.
They must have bodies that look like toothpicks with muscles. (*ew*) I like seeing them colored!
:iconryokohikariryuno:
I... these are just... so awesome. I can't even type straight. XD

I love the colors and art style... the "brush" look, I suppose.

Stay amazing, please. : D

Just when I thought I had seen everything, Ash goes and turns into a Pikachu.

"Y-Yes! I'm all about capicing! Capice'd loud and clear!"

"Drift gotten! I-I'm all over that drift, sir!"
:iconionhelen:
Ame is adorable, and Tama looks just plain awesome, expecially with the pose you've put him in and the rough look of the paints. I adore your japanese clothes designs on your characters, and I'm seriously digging the really dynamic turn your art has taken lately. Keep it up girl!

Great concepts. I like the Okami style. Even if it's not meant to be Okami related, the style in general looks cool. ^^

So is Tama just trying to avoid the sun? Is that why he wears the umbrella hat?
