My Humble First submission.

All ship drawings drawn by hand. On scratchpaper of all things.
Main Perspective of Okami painted with GIMP. Haven't quite learned how to use it yet.

- ...And I'm out of weekends. A funny thing happened while I was working this weekend. Actually, it wasn't funny, it was cruel. Like the bully that kicks over the sandcastle some kid's been working all day on. My computer only halfway saved the file and left me with a corrupted file. Set me back the whole weekend.

I wanted to clean up the lines some more, but in the end, I had to make the hard decision to just shade/color the ship I had. It was that or emoragequit, but that wouldn't have been fair to the viewers. -

- So I'm finally as done as I'll get. -

Okami is based rather loosely on the Merlin, and should come complete with advanced shield systems. It has also described as a mini-Myrmidon at times. Although I never had the Myrmidon in mind, I'm flattered - I like the look of the Myrmidon.

If you want to see the specs on the ship as I imagine it, please download and zoom in. I'm not going to post it at full size because of the demands on some folks' computers. Like mine.

Special Thanks to character Xercodo in EVE Online, without your mad photography skills we wouldn't have such an impressive backdrop. To see more of his work, go to this [link]
