Minecraft Eufloria Cel-shaded A clean and crisp art style, giving the game a timeless quality.

This makes the characters stand out more and it also makes the visuals resemble a anime/cartoon. The characters often have an silhouetted outline. The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Viewtiful Joe Stylized comicbook aesthetics. Illustrative Perhaps one could argue that the Illustrative and the Cel-shaded styles are one and the same but I tend to differentiate them by the carefully crafted and hand drawn textures that the Illustrative style often has. However, the Illustrative style when applied in 3D games is often used in conjunction with the cel-shaded assets.
