I had some art made for Nani, and figured I may as well share it with the fan club.

non blonde version edited by me ( I probably should have gone a little darker damnit)
http://tinypic.com/r/xpdag8/6

Anime style also makes Naniwa appear more mild and apporachable, i'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

non blonde version is SaSe :D

good work


Hehe not my art I just comissioned it on gaia. I miss Nani with highlights since he cut his hair hence the non blonde version. Sase art requires his hat. Though I do want to get art of Naniwa and Sase stealing Parting's socks or eating pancakes for next time.


haha, will probably get the blonde hair back.. im not sure what looked best but i liked the blonde more ^_^. just annoying to have to make new highlights etc. reallyy dont like it now that its so short

I think it is better short like that

Agreed, the longer hair looked sloppy, shorter hair makes you look like that much more of a total badass baller bouse.
In there like swimwear.

You (Nani) almost lost a (Swedish) fan in me for retweeting Sjow's tweet about Scarlett, until I learned about Morrow's marriage proposal in Scarletts fan club. You should be more careful, that joke is borderline disrespectful. The SC2 community has been, euhm, sensitive lately.

You probably got no idea how much we do appreciate your efforts and play. Really got a lot of respect for your attitude. Not hard to understand that the bad comments make you sad, they make us fans sad too. It's like the community don't even give you the slightest bit of slack and sometimes it seems like they are just looking really hard to find something to put out of context and bash you for. Love the way you keep your head high and prove all the haters wrong, keep on fighting!

Nani....noooooooooooo!!!
I thought you don't just play the game for yourself anymore....

"For a long time, I never really played this game for anyone else other than myself. Now, I realize that it involves so much more than that. I’m not alone playing from my home anymore; there are so many people watching my every game, and wanting to see me perform at my best. I don’t just play for myself anymore, but for all the fans of StarCraft 2 and eSports. Clearly, being a pro-gamer involves a lot more than I initially thought." -Naniwa, 2011

He's the one having to play good to earn money, I'd say he can play however he likes. He's the one who has to be in shape for tourneys! Also to Naniwa, You look great no matter the hair! Start streaming soon!!
This is where we begin. Show your true self, Battosai.

Great games happen when both players want to win so bad they'll fight tooth and nail and do everything to beat their opponent, not when some guy like TLO (even though I love him) tries to put on a show for an audience. He might not have tried his hardest in insignificant games, but nani always plays to win when it matter. That's enough for me.

No I'm saying there's a difference between playing "for me" and playing "just for me".

I can't imagine a pro player in any sport first getting into the scene so that he can please everyone else. You play because it's a way to fulfill your own dreams and see how far you can go when competing against likeminded players. A challenge onto yourself. Fans are something that can come as a bonus from all that and who surely can help drive a person - but I think the base drive mentioned above is something every player has.

Nothing strange with that at all.

If anything it's refreshing to see a player say it as it is, and it's a reason why I like Naniwa a lot.

In the age of the internet, attaching a famous name to your personal opinion to give more weight to it is a very valid strategy. - Benjamin Franklin

Interesting message from nanis twitter:
http://twitter.com/#!/QuanticNaNi/status/199554024616374272
Translation:
---
From fan @prOpqoyote:
"Sweden wants you to stream and why not, you get money for commercials. Always something! "

Naniwa reply:
-"Ahh.. but its bad if players see my style I'd rather play good in next GSL than make money "

:')!

Btw I think the hair looks good as it is now!

I agree with Naniwa. It's a pity that he wouldn't stream though but its completely understandable. Streaming means only additional money, and basically not the best way to practice. He get the best practice with teammembers/friends and in top of that he can save his builds / playstile for the games which actually matters.
I'm completely satisfied with the current state As long he often post on twitter and sometimes comes over to visit his Fanclub on Teamliquid I am happy!

EDIT: Hope Parting will take revenge for Naniwa today!
