As pretty as the games

We've seen some impressive game-related art over the years, but surely if two games are ideally suited to artistic recreations they're Okami and Okamiden. Both of these titles were designed to actually look like watercolour paintings in motion, but one set of artistic creations opts for a different approach.

The attached image (click to enlarge) is from deviantART user Richi89, and portrays both Amaterasu and Chibiterasu together. They're beautiful papercraft recreations and it's hard not to adore the mini Chibi, which must have been quite a challenge to produce. We suggest checking out Richi89's page — linked below — for plenty of gaming and pop-culture papercraft, including some more gorgeous artwork based on the Capcom games.
