I wanted to try my hand at the Sonic style I've seen all over, and the Okami contest gave me an idea. Granted it is a crack idea, but it was an idea nonetheless.
I couldn't find any in-detail references for Amaterasu's shield, so I used a handful of runes/wingdings that looked like they may work.
I hope you enjoy!
