Okami is one of the solid contenders in the games as art argument, and this gorgeous art book only further fuels that fire. I can only imagine Chad running around the office dancing at the sight of this treasure, so I'm sure it's just fine for the rest of you to follow suit in your respective places of business. After all, it isn't often enough that games of such quality as Okami hit the market, so I'm pretty much completely willing to fork over my hard earned cash for such goodies.
Amazon.com is stocking Okami Official Complete Works at a highly reasonable price point of $26; however the ship time is listed as 1-3 months. Ugh. Might be worthy to scour EBay or your favorite comic shops first. What's wrong with you, Amazon? Don't you know nerds require instant gratification?

I'd like to get this anywayz just cuz it's probably got some of the madestdopestfreshprinceofbelairest tattoo opportunities I've ever set eyes on.
NEED! NOW!
Man, that was a really good run. :)
And I finally got to see the Issun without having seizures of watching that damn thing jumping nonstop.
I really want to get my hands on the real thing.
Caress its soft paper... Mmm...
But... Okami is different and never to be compared to them, Okami is pure artistry, there visual elements so crisp you can not only see but hear and even smell the world which was created... Okami pulls you into a world that is so ripe with fantastic visuals you can barely keep the context between game and art seperate
Okami sits on its own and the best out there to push the barrier between art and game, period.
Yes, an anime on Okami would be cool.
I would like to buy this art book. It looks so beautiful.
P.S.
Did anyone else watch the Lunar Eclipse last night? It was a beautiful sight.
Honestly, I liked the art a lot more than the game... But then I did play it right after Twilight Princess...
it's a gorgeously ILLUSTRATED video game.
hard workin' illustrators deserve the credit
Definition: The products of human creativity.
Art it be!

If it were only that simple. I haven't been to my local comic shop for a while....OKAMI ART BOOK, HERE I COME!
I have Resident Evil Archives and Capcom Design Works books (both superb) so I'll have to add this Okami one to my list. Not that great at drawing animals so this will help.
If you like Capcom artwork, keep an eye out for Udon's Art of Capcom. Its out next month to buy and should be cool.
