Going  from  some  feedback  I  had  from  Phil,  I  look  towards  Okami,  A  beauBful  game  which  was  originally  released  in  2006.  It  was  recently    re-­‐released  in  2012.      It  has  some  amazing  art,  simple  yet  so  eye  catching.

Synopses    One-­‐hundred  years  ago,  Amaterasu  used  the  godly  power  of  the  Celes8al  Brush,  to  face  Orochi.  But  their  ba>le  consumed  them  both,  causing  them  to  disappear  from  the  world,  with  Amaterasu  losing  the  thirteen  Celes8al  Brush  powers  in  the  process.    Now  in  the  present,  Amaterasu  stumbles  upon  a  mysterious  fairy  sprite  named  Issun,  and  together  they  set  out  on  an  adventure,  as  Amaterasu  aims  to  regain  the  13  powers  of  the  Celes8al  brush  and  defeat  Orochi  once  and  for  all.

I  had  been  wondering  how  I  was  going  to  combine  Blackwater  Gospel  and  Japanese  prints  together.  I  feel  Okami  is  a  very  good  reference  point  for  the  combinaBon  of  the  two.  Its  form,  feel  and  line  work  could  help  me  a  lot.  Its  helping  me  picture  the  kinds  of  colour’s  I'm  aMer  and  how  to  use  them.  Okami  and  print  work  is  very  much  block  colours,  almost  like  water  colour.  Its  Black  lines  highly  define  the  object  as  well  which  again  should  help  me  work  out  my  own  work.
