Okamiart.com - A Gift to all Okami Fans

Sometimes my job is really fun, as is the case today.  In working towards the release of Okami, we have been providing our partners with some amazing pieces of Okami art in order to put together beautiful articles about the game.  Just take a look at the latest EGM or Play (with POSTER!) to see what I’m talking about.  In fact, we’ve given them so much art, they’ve never used it all.  Ten DVDs full of art go a long way, let me tell you.

To celebrate the launch of Okami on the Wii, we wanted to find a special way to thank all the vocal Okami fans that encouraged us to take a second shot at success with this title.  We looked at special tiny art books for preorder, but the format didn’t do the art justice and we wanted to reward the fans of the PS2 version as well.

So, without further adu, I’d like to present http://www.okamiart.com.  This is a collection of almost every piece of Okami art we’ve made, set up in beautiful gallery form for your downloadable pleasure.  Working with our friends at Udon, there’ s also a beatiful large art book you can order from the site.

Featuring original art, character art, backgrounds, desktop downloads, chat icons, and even a user fan art section, http://www.okamiart.com is everything you ever wanted to see of our favorite goddess turned wolf. 

Also, in the coming weeks, we’ll be having some fan art competitions both on http://www.okamiart.com and our friends over at DeviantArt.com.  With some amazing prizes, you should get drawing today and submit them to our expert panel of judges for both internet fame and some exclusive Okami items.

 Thank you again for all your support and remember to buy Okami for the Wii on April 15th!

Count the game references - Mauvais Rôle

Every now and then, student animation projects are just downright amazing.  This one is from a French animation project.  Called Mauvais Rôle, or Bad Role, it follows a fantasy RPG demon as he looks for a new job.  Just try and count the video game references, there are a ton!  If you pay attention, you can even see Mega Man.  Enjoy and remember: subtitles improve reading skills!
