Super Okami World: Design Process
In 2015, I was approached by Okami to create his upcoming album, titled "Super Okami World". It would reference pop culture in different ways relating to the main character, a cartoon avatar of Okami himself. This is the process from initial concept drawings to the final piece.
Concept designs of the album, starting off with a design brief wanting a "DOOM" poster inspiration, hence the pose of the first design. Later being formed into something cuter, with references to pop culture on Video Games as a constant theme.
Most references allude to Nintendo, namely Mario.
References used in the concept process, with an "Okami64" label already created by the client to use in the piece.
