Okami!!

This is Okami.



This is a less detailed (easier?) concept of Okami:


She is from Japanese lore; a nature goddess incarnated in the form of a white wolf.

I would love to see her in Wc3, so... I'm requesting it!


If it's a skin, all you need to do is take the white wolf model and add the appropriate red swirls/markings. The disk is not necessary (and probably wouldn't be possible w/o a model edit).

If it's a model, the disk+flames on the back are a must. Minor details (little wing-things on her legs, etc.) are optional but would look cool. Red swirls still needed. Emitters that spawn grass where she walks (similar to how Illidan made demonic footprints) would be excellent. Flame emitters off the disk in the back would be excellent as well.


NOTE: If you already know this has been done (skin/model), please point me to it! Thanks :D

Hmmm... Sounds like an easy Wolf model edit. Can you do the skin and I'll do all the model/particle modifications?

That could actually make a very cool model.

Ah, I love this game.

Just remember that Amaterasu's tali acts as the Celestial Brush. Her god powers come from ink. You know, like a calligraphy brush.

Actually, the bottom picture you have darkwulfv, is cel-shaded. The game is presented like that, but the concept art is equally nice. The artwork is inspired by Japanese wood carving art and water color.

If you wanted to go even farther with the idea, you could also include the sword and the beads.

If it's easy, it won't do the original justice. The concept begs for custom animations - however, considering the bad sales Okami had (despite being a downright epic game) you'll find it hard to find an artist who has actually played it to know what the original animations looked like.

Try youtube.

If someone actually does model this correctly then damn, this would be a fantastic model, with or without too-specific details. The game was brilliant too.

I've personally played Okami and fell in love with the unique art and gameplay; the fact it didn't sell more is a downright tragedy. As stated above, Youtube is a good place to find animations from the game.

On topic... (Quotes ahead)

If you want to skimp on minor details then yes, it would be a simple model edit. Things like the wings and grass emitters could be skimped on for the sake of simplicity, but to achieve the full beauty of Amaterasu (Okami), you'd want to get more detailed.
And No, I could not make the skin. I've never skinned and suck at art, so it'd be rather insulting I think to make the skin. However, were a model provided, it may entice skinners to take up the job.

The game presents Amaterasu as a combination of the concept art and the cel-shaded art, as I've found through playing, so details from both would be great, since the cel-shaded one has a better view of the Disk she uses as her "primary" (aka Signature) weapon.
You could, but that disk is used in all the cinematics and concept art, so it's kind of her signature...

This is true; however, I think that one could get away with just adding enhanced attack/spell animations. To get really detailed (adding the disk attacks, lunges, Celestrial Brush, etc.) would be, obviouisly, wonderful, but I think that for the sake of simplicity adding better attack+spell animations would do for a low-size model.



I, and apparently others, would really love to see Amaterasu come to fruition, so... Perhaps someone could make it happen? :D

fuck, i would offer to take a stab but i have an unfinished model and a one for Alevice that i need to finish getting team color onto and animate. plus I'm not really that good.
