Say what you will about will about Clover Studios' Okami (and what else can you say other than "It's totally sweet"?), but there's no arguing that the game is simply gorgeous. The watercolor-style cel-shaded graphics were proof enough that you didn't need next generation power to wow gamers with stunning visuals.
With this in mind, Capcom has launched an Okami Art Web site, which is home to over 300 original Okami illustrations. This doesn't even take into account the site's ever-growing fan art section, and the handful of desktop wallpapers that are all screaming for me to "Right click ... Set as Desktop Background."
The site also acts a nice gateway drug that might lead people to buy Udon Entertainment's sweet Okami: Official Complete Works art book. It's also a slick reminder that Ready At Dawn's Wii port of Okami will hit North American shelves on April 15. Anyone looking forward to taking the game's white wolf goddess of the sun, Amaterasu for another -- or first, perpahs -- spin on Nintendo's console?

As for the site... I always loved the art style of Okami, but I've decided if I were to ever get a videogame tattoo, which I'll never do, it would DEFINITELY be from this game. Wow. Those images are all gorgeous.
Now I wish Capcom would make Viewtiful Joe 3 to finish off the trilogy and let it rest in peace....
