Blossoms in the Wind -Okami-

Whew! It's finally done!

My submission for the Okami contest. And let me tell you, it took frickin' forever.

Each person/animal/object was sketched out separately, and then it was all assembled and colored in photoshop. The background (sky) was taken from the resources provided in the contest.

I've never done anything even half as complicated as this in photoshop, and I must say I learned quite a bit. But at the same time, I still have way too much to learn, and if I did this over I'd do a lot differently. But overall I'm pretty happy with it.

...If you can think of a better title, tell me. I'm so bad at that kind of thing.
