Okami is very well known for it's fantastic "paint on canvas" style cel-shading, But it wasn't always destined to look that way.
The game was originally planned to be rendered in a more photorealistic 3D style. However, Clover Studios determined that the more colorful sumi-e style allowed them to better convey Amaterasu’s association with nature and the task of restoring it. This change did not increase the game’s performance. You can play a video clip of Amaterasu in her original style after beating the game... Or you can just play the video below :-)
