my amabie

[asakiyume]

I did her as a celphalopod, sort of. My thought was that her three legs were arms, and her arms were arms, and her long hair was also arms. But I gave her hands on her arm-arms. Why? I don't know.



Also here are some flying amabie to bless your day.

A hand is a useful thing to have! Even if you are a three-legged beaked mermaid who wards off plague.

[asakiyume]

It's all about those thumbs! Though octopuses seem to do pretty well without them.

I'm suddenly now inspired to try one that's a straight mermaid (or, y'know, gay, but like--a mermaid and not a cephalopod), like the Starbucks' two-tailed one, only with three tails.

And a beak.

More amabie can't hurt!

I LOVE amabie as a cephalopod!

[asakiyume]

Yaaaay! Cephalopod amabie loves you right back.

But I gave her hands on her arm-arms. Why? I don't know.

I think she's wonderful.

[asakiyume]

Thank you! I had fun drawing her.

She looks like she's saying "hearken!"

[asakiyume]

And I am all ears!

Ooh, I like it! I like the graceful twiny-curvy motions of her various arms.

The hair floof on the flying amabie is adorable!

[asakiyume]

I think the hair floof is the best part! Love it! Plus just overall, the animator seems to have worked out a way for the amabie to *work."

Thanks, re: my own--I'm now inspired to try a more mermaid-y one, where the legs are proper tails, only three of them instead of one or two.

She looks kind and graceful <3 Thank you for this, and for the animated flying amabie bobbing up and down. I love that they have headfins that look like their ears stick out.

You're welcome! I'm enjoying the amabie hashtag on Twitter. Lots of fun images--and that gif ^_^

Thank you for drawing the amabie ♥
