Okami Amaterasu

[The_Radioactive_Woman]

A picture of Amaterasu in wolf form with the "Solar Flare" weapon. heart heart heart
I decided to draw this since I finally beat the game. wink
I also tried brushing up the line art as compared to the last piece I put in a thread here, so I hope that turned out better than the lineart in my "Fire Person Deviation."
So--
I NEED FEEDBACK.
This is my first time drawing ANYTHING dealing with Okami. Is it good?? Bad?? Inbetween?? Has my lineart gotten better!?!?!?
Critiques and comments are welcomed!!

its not bad, it seems a bit busy but i think its a nice composition. the bright light spot is kinda daunting tho. it fits in with the pic but im left wondering y its there on that dark red sphere  

[The_Radioactive_Woman]

Ah, I meant for that to be reflection or glare off the centerpiece of the Solar Flare disk. I thought that part of the composition looked a bit empty, so I added a light effect to try and balance it all out... in retrospect, I probably should have added orange in there instead. sweatdrop  

[graphicbunny]

hmm... maybe


try experimenting with a less bright spot

then try eliminating it all together but keep the edges of the pic fading to dark like it is


which one seems better?  

[Ace the Wolfe]

I think I might have to agree with graphicbunny
the glare looks pretty but I think it could do without. (or maybe make it less brighter.)

(nonetheless, I favorited)
