My entry for Jazza's COTM for June 2017: Style Swap.
I took the style of the game 'Okami' (traditional Japanese brushwork) and used it to draw the main character of 'Dust: An Elysian Tail' (toony soft cell-shading)
Game examples are SFW.

I had a lot of fun with it and I feel that Okami's style fits Dust more than its original style in my opinion. It was difficult though since I tried to make this pose fit him and have it reflect the traditional Japanese inking style- without showing his face. Also learned that brush modes are a thing. Also a thing I didn't notice until the end of the piece... I didn't make any highlights!! AAA.
I may or may not have rushed it a bit since I'll be on a trip until the day of Jazza's COTM deadline, but I still put a lot of effort into it.
Timelapse is being worked on and prints maybe??
