Description

EDIT: Just changed Ninetail's eye so that he was actually looking at Amaterasu instead of random space. xD

THIS TOOK TOO LONG.
TOO STINKING LONG.
BAH.
I still love it though. There's probably some things that could've been done better, but I like it how it is. This is a remake of my older drawing from about a year ago, Fated Battle. I just got the pose ideas and had to make it. Especially since I don't entirely like the old picture anymore. Plus, the old picture was basically just the two in the poses given by official game art slapped together in one piece. Now that's good for practice and all, but I felt I really should learn how to put the characters into my own poses if I want to get far with the art.

A print of this will hopefully be on sale in the Art Show Room at Nan Desu Kan 2012! If any of you guys are going to NDK, you should check it out! [Starting Bid price yet to be determined].
It will also be a signed version (signed digitally), so you know, it'll be awesome and all.

I don't want to have to put a watermark on this, so don't steal guys. (Though so few people will probably find this so that hopefully won't be much of a problem...)

There are two things I like about this picture more than any other depictions that I've seen of the Ammy vs. Ninetails battle thus far: one sort of minor one is that this seems like one of the best sizes used for both characters (I've imagined Ninetails as a bit larger than this for an Okami fanfic that I'm working on, but only because he absorbed what was left of Yami's dark power for the purpose of making his return a bigger deal than it normally would be).

The second is that I don't think I've ever seen a depiction of this battle in real-time, in the sense that there are multiple attacks from both Amaterasu and Ninetails being executed at the same time. That's one thing that I really think there needs to be more of in Okami fan-art: making the fights look a lot more organic. Great to finally see one picture do so :3
