This piece of fanart of Nanami, the mermaid from Okamiden, is a piece that I wanted to do for a very long time. Originally inspired by Chuggaaconroy's Let's Play of the game, I thought a drawing of Nanami emerging from the water would be a really nice image. So initially, I took to drawing it, but was so disappointed with it because of how hairy it looked (those of you who watch my art thread can testify to this). However, after having realised how quickly I can now draw on this tablet, I took to rehashing this artwork between last night and today, and it's finally finished.

This is safely my best piece of fanart to date. I'm just grateful for the progress. While I admit my favourite part of this entire drawing is the water, I'm sure some may have different favourite bits about it. Anyway, all you Okami and Okamiden fans, enjoy.

Sketchbook. Don't know how long it took me, but it must have taken a total of three hours, not including the long breaks and stuff I had to do in between.

I love the piece.

If I do have one critique though, I have to go with what the last poster said. I can't tell which way the right hand is facing, or whether that's the front or back of her hand.

But otherwise, nice work. I love the vibrant Red/Orange/Yellow of the fish tail. And the water looks FANTASTIC. And the Hair/water. You really did a good job with this.

I love Ōkami!
I haven't played Ōkamiden though, but I feel like I should watch Chuggaaconroy's playthrough of it :O
This drawing is awesome, and the colors bring out the feel of the game quite well. I'm absolutely in love with Nanami's hair o.O
If I am to give some critique, I think the perspective on her right hand (left for the viewer) looks a bit odd, but that might just be me (it's just a little bit anyway) :)

Great work! It's cool to see you've had inspiration to draw recently :D

Troisnyx responds:

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it. I'll work a bit more on perspective; it is my weakest suit.

The Okamiden playthrough of his is actually a bit longer than his Okami playthrough. Mind you, a lot of people now remember Okami because of the recent attention it's gotten with a Wii re-release and a PS3 re-release -- heck, even I have it. Okamiden, on the other hand, seems to be a bit like a forgotten child.
