in the head, years ago, there was big dog thing coming from the sky. maybe part of it was from the Silver wolf attacking in Suikoden2. and then I enjoyed Moro from Princess Mononoke
recently I changed Inata-nari's look, I added more eyes, as a four eyed dog is very special, and adding one sideways eye in the forhead makes her look more special, and now hoofy feet which I don't like much now. perhaps they should be birdfeet.
the head now becomes enlongated like a crocodile, in the fashion of Ammut
the ears I never know what to do with, I just don't want her to be a giant white-ish wolf.
Inatanari used to be named Inari, it soundedd cool. but then I found out there is a God named Inari. so I changed it.
Inatanari is I guess "God's attack dog" avenging angel, and those who come at the begining of the end
This is naked Inatanari. She wears a saddle with an elaborate blanket with most beautiful decorations. as is the saddle
this is much grief to draw, as the vision in my head has ornate decorations and a mishmash of "symbolic images" of bells, engravings, a pole with scales and a candelabra up top, with a beautiful spinning wheel
because...symbolism.
this is not a creature you kill if seeing it come to the world to destroy it. that is a terrible transgression. as if a god says it is time to go, and she is called, then that is defiance.
attack dog from justice god.
or sometimes she comes to one of those way to special choosen to be a jerk and berate them for the path they take.
i don't know.
