Capcom today released a art book called “Okami Official Complete Works” in America and Europe. The PS2 action game Okami has a very unique art style, heavily inspired by Japanese watercolor paintings.
The official description reads: “The Okami Official Complete Works art book will take you behind the scenes to the amazing artwork that defines the wonderful world of this beautiful video game! The 288 full color pages are filled with character and location designs, concept sketches and production notes from the creators giving you an in-depth look at the fantasy world of Okami! A truly inspiring book, translated into English for the first time!”
So this is officially out, people have been able to buy it? Amazon.ca has been delaying shipping it to me, several times… I was starting to worry that it was canceled or something.
Yeah it’s weird, Amazon.com still has it on pre-order, but the UK Amazon store says they are sold out and expect to ship the next books between 2 to 4 weeks…
This book has had so many delays… it hasn’t actually been released yet. -.- But the most recent updates I’ve seen say it’ll be out April 30th, so let’s cross our fingers! (Heh. Wouldn’t it be fun to rally a protest against Udon if they delay it again?)
