Artist's Comments

God: Itegami
Animal: Ox
Brush power: 'Blizzard'
Element: Ice
Zodiac rank: Second

Apparently trying out new techniques is a good thing. This picture came out better then expected really, which means that Tachigami is going to be redrawn... after I draw the rest of them. (Score one for the kitty).

As for his outfit, while oxen may be very well to do in the cold snow, it doesn't hurt to bundle the poor god up. I dressed him simillar to the Ainu/Oina people who lived in northern japan (who still do but are a major minority, much like the Native Americans in the US). It was fun coloring him, though his skin may be a bit too dark. Meh. Next op, Mr. Crankyhead, AKA Gekigami (the tiger). As for the first version of Tachigami, when I redraw it (who knows, I may get fed up and just go ahead with the reinking before the end.), i'm moving the original version to my Scraps.

Oh, cause I like this picture so much, I watermarked it, though very faintly so that it's not that apparent.

Edit: Ok, so I am an idiot. It's not Hegami but Itegami. Thanks goes to for pointing that out.

First: Tachigami
Second: Itegami (current)
Third: Gekigami
Fourth: Yomigami

Fifth: Yamigami
Sixth: Nuregami

Very nice picture. Simple but likeable. A few nitpicks though, the left eye is too far from the nose and since you're doing wonderfully simple colouring, i think would be better if the hair was done the same way instead of cel-shading it.

I like how the end of his hair was coloured and the *gasp* pattern on his muffler!!! I havent finished the game so i dont know who he is ><
:icondyrin:

Wow, this came out nice! I haven't gotten up to the ice god yet (he's the last one I need :D ) but this version of him looks really cool. I like the clothes a lot. He looks a little sad, though... :(

Well that and I kinda had a little story in mind, but he's sad. Must draw it in comic form when I get more of the gods up. *groan* I need someone to make sure i do X_x
