Final month of Spring! Get ready for Summer!



Celebrating the final month of spring as we head into summer is Nami for May!

What better way to end the Spring season than to greet the sun with a sexy bikini? Yeah...I'm reaching...but who wouldn't want to great this beauty in spring?

For fans of the One Piece anime or those who have seen my earlier works - I've changed Nami's tattoo to the color black instead of the anime's blue version. As an obsessive fan, I never realized that her tattoo in the manga was always black. How could I? The manga is literally "black and white".

However, after some research, and literally looking over many pages of official color art throughout the manga with my own eyes, I've counted 20 instances where Nami's tattoo is literally colored black with all other instances of Nami wearing something covering her tattoo. I doubt Eichiro Oda or his assistants would make an error like that multiple times over the 5 years of the manga(Note: I'm not saying One Piece has been published for 5 years, I'm saying I actually viewed the manga page by page spanning chapters from the last 5 years to confirm it personally). Keeping with that, I've changed the tattoo to a black color to reflect my respect for the original creator's vision.

Happy May everyone! And to those that celebrate May 5th - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
