Another very rare ship (Or should I say Ark??) approaching! xD

Anyway, the first time I played Okami I didn’t actually think of this, but since I like to replay games (Sometimes several times if I like them a lot) I get the chance to have second thoughts, set theories, etc. and this appeared as a possibility to me, actually the only ship I like that isn’t canon, perhaps Oki/Kai would be interesting too, but I’m not as into it as I’m into this.

I did the sketch of this pic in 2018, when I first played Okami, yep, it’s been between my files for a long time. I decided to redraw it and finish it in November 2022, but didn’t have the chance to actually work on it until now. It was a challenge trying to figure out how Kaguya’s kimono might’ve looked like without that bamboo obi she wears lol.

I originally wasn’t planning to add a background or to add the real moon summoned by Amaterasu in the game but I thought it was a nice touch, including the kanji of course x3

The bamboo grove would be easy to guess why I added it if you played the game, Kaguya is found by Mr. Bamboo and his wife in one as a baby, so I think she might be drawn with such places (Assuming there’s one too at the Celestial Plain)

Amaterasu’s design corresponds to that with her full power, it is my favorite design for her and at that point of the story she should look like that though, she looks badass like that haha x3
Now, I know the story I wrote doesn’t mention the other members of the Moon Tribe that, apparently, survived the cataclysm and that’s because I only take Okami (Hideki Kamiya’s work) as canon, Okamiden wasn’t written or directed by him so, until he confirms that all that happened in Okamiden was, in fact, canon I’d consider that game as a spin-off. To be honest, I noticed he didn’t work on that game the very first seconds I started playing it lol xD

Now, you might think Waka is over 300 years old according to the game while she’s younger, well, we have to assume that Kaguya is also very old too, she was in a hibernation-sorta state inside the rocket, which I believe escaped the Moon way before the cataclysm happened, if we are to assume she’s the actual Moon Princess her family being royalty might’ve had improved powers and could’ve prophesized the fall of their civilization with much more anticipation than any other member of the tribe, which may have had similar powers to Waka.

But that’s enough, I might explain more about some theories and other stuff I have about Okami in the future otherwise I’ll make this description too long hahaha xD

Today’s song/soundtrack suggestion is Theme of the Moon Tribe, one of my favorites x3
