Dry your paintbrushes, the Okami Winners are Here!

$Moonbeam13:iconMoonbeam13: reports, May 5, 2008



The Celestial Paintbrush has been cleaned and hung to dry, and all the entries are in for the Okami Fan Art Interpretive contest. We received many gorgeous and truly original interpretations of the theme, and it was a great pleasure to go through them all. Once again the deviantART Community has shown that it can rise to any challenge brought before it.
But, at the end of the day this is a competition, and you are all most definitely some of the most competitive people around. And in the end, three stood out just that little bit more and are taking home the prizes.
So without further delay, we present to you, the winning entries!
And the runner up is *risachantag and this spectacular image!

They will be taking home:

A copy of Okami for the Wii and a deviantART prize pack consisting of a 6 month deviantART subscription, deviantWEAR t-shirt of their choice, and a deviantWEAR accessory pack.

And in third place we have the gorgeous work of *fireeyes-dragon

And they are receiving a deviantART prize pack consisting of a 3 month deviantART subscription, deviantWEAR t-shirt of their choice and a deviantWEAR accessory pack!


Thank you to everyone who participated and again,
congratulations to the winners!

Kick Your Own @ss - ENTRIES

`MonicaWeasley:iconMonicaWeasley: reports, 2d 1h ago
The only one I must compete with is...myself. And I'll always be the winner. :)

This contest wants on one hand to show that every single artist can improve (also motivate viewers to also keep practicing and never quit their art!) and that to improve is much more important to compare one's art with what it was in a previous moment, than compare it with other's art. :nod:

Ok I guess that next time that I decide to enter in a contest I'll follow the main style of it.

No one can get better without critique, appreciate how others take the time spotting the mistakes of your drawings instead of getting mad at them for ruining your "perfect world"....

It's harder than just writing "nice" or adding a smilie I tell ya.
~tsuminaoshi:icontsuminaoshi: May 5, 2008, 5:35:43 PM
I really would like someone to explain this.
Congrats to the winners, nice work, but I call a foul.

"No copyrighted images can be used in any way except for the creative resources linked below."

"The design must be 100% your work"

"Entries are to be inspired by the game, Okami, but not derivative of it or other privately owned property"

Following these rules, fanart or not, following these rules, these 3 entries are void.

They are completely derived from Okami, they are not part of the creative resources, and are technically copyrighted images, i.e. a white wolf with very specific markings.

Again, congrats to the winners on fine pieces of art, but to the judges, please be more clear on the rules next time, as in maybe stating that most of the rules don't count.

*weshoyot:iconweshoyot: May 5, 2008, 5:39:55 PM
it seems they chose works that look more like the game than not...and there was a lot of confusion over the rules too...
~tsuminaoshi:icontsuminaoshi: May 5, 2008, 5:41:35 PM
Yeah, I mean, whether or not I won, whatever, and good going for the winners, however to me, and all who I showed them to; the rules were clearly stated. I don't get it. I wonder if Capcom had anything to do with the rule creation and if they have anything to say about the results.

Congrats to the Winners!

But unfortunately, I do have to admit I agree with Tsuminaoshi. I took "Entries are to be inspired by the game, Okami, but not derivative of it or other privately owned property" to mean nothing directly from Okami-as in, no drawings of Ameterasu in her wolf form, or any other characters.

Yes, the winners have GORGEOUS works. Regardless, I had originally thought that the purpose of the contest was an inspiration challenge, not a fanart display. Meh, just my two cents.

The rest of you may hate your insomnia, but I'm not sure I want a cure for mine. That's when I get all my best ideas. I'm alone, ocassionally, no distractions. My mind is racing with creative ideas and come 3 AM I feel like a genius.~Theo, The Haunting
*weshoyot:iconweshoyot: May 5, 2008, 5:44:37 PM
i highly doubt it...i mean with capcom...

and I feel the same way: i had like a list of 5 potential pieces, of which none were mine, that i thought were shoe-in's....and none of the winners were them...I'm sensing some drama when the news spreads...as there were many confused by the rules stated.
~tsuminaoshi:icontsuminaoshi: May 5, 2008, 5:46:47 PM
Yeah, I agree completely, but it will never get anywhere :(
