 - One Piece - [ Japanese Fan Art Site ] - So, I was talking to Vikki tonight, we happened to get on the topic of One Piece when I happened to run across a Zoro/Luffy site, had fun with it, the conversation drifted over to the idea of Luffy/Nami, then saw, oooh, One Piece search engine! AHAHAHA, LUFFYXNAMI SITES HERE I COME! ♥ This is one of the first ones I ran across and I think it's already going to be one of my favorites, because the art really captures the style/feel of One Piece (there's this one of Luffy and Nami in traditional wear surrounded by sakura and in fighting stances that is just SO COOL *__*). But even more than that, it captures the feeling of what I like/see in LuffyxNami and then gives me gentle romance that makes me all swoon-y. Arms around each other, soft/fond looks, a gentle hand on the other, the occasionally gorgoeus perspective on a kiss, it all just makes me... well, fall further in love with this pairing. ♥ (Luffy/Nami.)
 - One Piece - Straw Hat [ Japanese Fan Art Site ] - The first thing that immediately caught my attention with this site was that the artist really captured the style of the One Piece manga/anime in a lot of the illustrations--plus, there was this series of the main characters as kids that were just fantasticly done. The other thing that caught my attention was that Chopper was just absolutely adorable, to the point where I couldn't stop muttering, "Good god, he wounds me with the cute!" to anyone on AIM with me. ^_~ It also helps that the site seems to be rather pro-LuffyxNami (as well as pro-ZoroxRobin, which I don't mind at all), which is exactly what I was looking for. This is definitely one of the best OP sites out there that manages to capture the style and spirit of the original series, recreating what makes the series so much fun for me. I love. ♥ (Some Luffy/Nami, Zoro/Robin.)
 - One Piece - Greap Escape [ Japanese Fan Art Site ] - Of course, what immediately caught my attention about this site was the Luffy/Nami content, since that's what I was seeking, but I actually found a lot more to the site than that. The art is very cute, often using pastel-ish colors, but doing so well and I found myself fond of the style. What I really loved was that everyone was just... happy and grinning all the time, that sense of high adventure and a great time that I get from the One Piece series itself. There were a couple of illustrations that just looked great--I enjoyed the group ones almost as much as I did the Luffy/Nami. So, yeah, just an all-around positive site that I enjoyed a lot. ^_^v (Some Luffy/Nami, a lot of gen.)
 - One Piece - Mugiwaranai Koisite[ Japanese Fanart Site ] - I wasn't sure what to expect when I clicked onto this site, but I was hoping for some cute OP art... and found one of my new favorite Luffy/Nami sites! *___* It's rare when I find a site where I like EVERYTHING on the page (given that it has more than, say, five illustrations), but, damn, I think I wanted to shove every single illustration on this site at everyone because they were awesome. Not only were they wonderfully drawn with great colors and lines, but they FELT like the One Piece art--just a little bit whacky, but still FUN and MEANINGFUL. I honestly can't pick a single illustration out here, but any time Luffy would put a hand on Nami's face or he would kiss her or she would smile at him... I fell in LOVE. The art here is absolutely terrific and FEELS like One Piece and reminds me of just why I love looking for OP art in the first place and TOTALLY makes me an incoherent fangirl. I love it when a site can do that. ♥♥♥♥ Ahahahaha, plus the artist had one Zoro/Sanji, which ALSO makes my day. ♥ (Luffy/Nami.)
 - One Piece - Love & Piece [ Japanese Fanart Site ] - Every once in awhile, I come across a site that just makes me *SQUEE* with wild abandon because it captures the feeling of the One Piece style/art so incredibly well AND gives me exactly what I want, that I just fangirl like mad crazy. This is one of those sites because the artist is incredibly talented but also because she draws some of my favorite pairings from the series AND does fantastic gen stuff. (There's the regular gallery, but also check out her Weekly Jump section, because she's got some fantastic sketches based off the chapters there. ♥) She's got that grin that Oda-sensei does down phenominally well, really helping along that sense of FUN that One Piece has. Her colors are also incredible, her lines fantastic, her poses perfect, her One Piece-tone amazing, and all of that. But, really, the thing that just made me twirl around the room in utter glee? That I believed these pairing illustrations. Sometimes, with some art sites, I have to squint a little to match the characters up with the ones in my head (This isn't an insult--this is something that happens with even the most STUNNING sites, many of which are among my absolute favorites.), but with this site... I dunno, I just SAW the characters (and pairings) that I adore so much. Because THIS is my Zoro/Nami, toally. And, really, I'm all about the squee-factor. If it makes ME fangirl, then I'm terrifically happy to have seen the site. ♥ (Some Zoro/Nami, some Sanji/Nami and some Luffy/Nami, and some gen.)
 - One Piece - pumpkinhead [ Japanese Fanart Site ] - I originally waffled on this site for awhile... until I realized two things. One, there are the occasionally Luffy/Nami illustrations on the site and that wins me over like there's no tomorrow. And, two, there's an R-rated gallery. The artist does rather... light, simple, airy illustrations that are nice, light treats. Though, there's one of Luffy holding Nami and has the most intense expression on his face that I love. But there's also blood-splattered!Sanji that looks way too pretty and there's a really interesting set of illustrations of when they're older and Zoro and Sanji have settled a bit more, with a kid even. I know that sounds like it should be OMG WTF EWWW, but it's really not. I like to think I'd totally react in the proper way if a ZoSan set of illustrations was too over the OOC line, but... I liked these. They were... well, cute. The characters are recognizable and I got enough of that OP vibe from the illustrations to satisfy me. That's all I ask for. XD (Zoro/Sanji, a little Luffy/Nami.)
 - Full Metal Alchemist/One Piece - [ English Fanart Site ] - Okay, see, I'm a sucker for any artist that's friendly towards Luffy/Nami art. Especially when they have some nice lines and really nice coloring that looks very professional and cel-like coloring. Then you toss in little Vivi with little Carue and then you toss in a really nice Roy style with little chibi-Eds all over the place and then you toss in a bunch of One Piece character illustrations (including an utterly ADORABLE chibi-Sanji in his cute little cooking outfit) and then you toss in a Luffy/Nami fan-comic and then you toss in kitty!Royxkitty!Ed and then you toss in Ed, Al, and Winry as kids and it's all wrapped up in this really solid art with really great colors and I just had FUN with this artist. Oh! And she also does these really cool FMA bookmark illustrations that I loved and lots and lots of little gag art that always makes me grin or giggle or... well, yes, lots of stuff to enjoy here. <3 (Some Luffy/Nami, some Roy/Ed, a lot of gen, too.)
- One Piece - [ English Fanart Site ] - I think I squee'd over a lot of the art on this account individually, but I had to rec the artist as a whole because she does awesome Luffy/Nami fanart. The lines and colors and details and CG style of art really mimic the anime very well, her lines are really good, especially with the characters' hair, and god, I just adore her colors, the warm oranges and peaches and pinks that just... work with this pair. Everything sort of feels like it's sunset-colored, which is something I strongly associate with the couple, especially when added to art that's really solid like this artist's. There are, like, a zillion individual illustrations that I want to point out, like Luffy and Nami on the beach or Luffy feeding a baby or CHIBI MONKEY LUFFY or CHIBI KITTY NAMI or, hell, even HIGH SCHOOL AU LUFFY/NAMI that should not have worked, but instead wound up being just completely awesome. Just... eeee, yes. ♥ (Luffy/Nami.)
 - One Piece - [ Japanese Fanart Site ] - One of the first things that caught my attention about this site? "Oh, hey, neat, a ZoSan site that has art of Nami, too! I LOVE that everyone loves Nami!" Then I got a little further into the site. My reaction then? "OMG, YAY. ZoSan site that is also LuNa! This artist totally loves me! ♥" And, no, the art's not perfect, but it's light-hearted and fun, as well as containing my two OTPs. My love shimmered and sparkled the entire time I was here. You can tell the artist's favorite character is Sanji, you'll see a lot of him on the site and he probably looks the best, but... I found I actually enjoyed the Luffy/Nami stuff most of all. Maybe it's the rarity, but I think it was more that there was that certain spark between them that I love. It's mostly oekaki-style art on the site, but I find I like that here, it adds to the light-hearted quality. ....also, Luffy and Nami in a grassy field with him lying in her lap and grinning like hell up at her? Yeah, I was sold. Oh, and be sure to scout all over the site, there's a lot of art tucked into different galleries. (Zoro/Sanji, Luffy/Nami, maybe a little other.)
