Another contest I would like to play with:

The UnOfficial "Okami: The New Zodiac Animals" Contest.

(No previous Okami knowledge is required.)

So you know all the Brush Gods, right?
Amaterasu the Sunrise Dog
Yomigami the Rejuvenation Dragon
Tachigami the Power Slash Rat
Bakugami the Cherry Bomb Boar
Sakigami, Hasugami, and Tsutagami the Flora Monkey Triumvurate
Nuregami the Waterspout Snake
Yumigami the Crescent Rabbit
Kazegami the Galestorm Horse
Moegami the Inferno Rooster
Kasugami the (druken!) Mist Sheep
Kabegami the Catwalk Cat
Gekigami the Thunderstorm Tiger
Itegami the Blizzard Ox

But what if there were more?

That is the question of this contest. So here's what I want:

--Your choice and drawing of a Zodiac Animal (not one of the 13 above!)

--Your Zodiac Animal's name (does not have to be Japanese, but -gami is a strongly advised suffix, in keeping with the trend of the first 13 names (minus Ammy, of course). If you do use a Japanese name, please provide a translation.

--Your Zodiac Animal's power. I realize a lot of powers have been taken by the original group, so I will allow repeat powers; however, let's see how creative you can get!

Hopefully there will be enough original responses to create a whole new Zodiac year! If not, I will make a fan art of the best three Zodiac Animals.

Shall we make the deadline the 31st of August? Happy creating and can't wait to see your pics!
