Amabie, Prophet-Mermaid, protecting people from plague!
Hello my fans and patrons!
Recently, many Japanese Artists (and some other countries artists) are drawing Amabie, a relatively unknown Youkai until now.
Amabie is prophetic mermaid (like creature) in Edo Era, which appeared sea of Kumamoto Prefecture. It predicted good harvests and coming plague, and said "When plague spreads, Draw my figure and show it to the people".

That legend had been known by only Youkai Fans, but in recent Colona Virus pandemic, the legend became popular suddenly. So many artists are drawing & making Amabie arts on Twitter and so on!
As one of Youkai Comic Artists, of course I do it too!
After some studying...
I think I could gather basic knowledge about Amabie, then drew it, as you see above! :D
For Amabie hope people share her image, I can easily imagine she is a Youkai Girl who loves SNS like Instagram or Airdrop. Thus Amabie in [Anime-Tamae!] world should be glittering mermaid with Gyaru taste!
Indeed, I really wish health and happiness of people, especially my all fans and readers around the world. It's a harsh situation now, but I hope my works can deliver some healing and joy to your life.
Also I really appreciate efforts of all people working for our society and infrastructures. Hospitals, Shops, and every other front-lines... your efforts allow artist like me living by drawing. Thank you very much!!

Nice, a modern approach to heavenly beings. I hope every one is doing alright as well, it's a first time experience for me that the situation has ever gotten this bad.
