Just a week ago, we first caught glimpse of Lupita Nyong'o's first Marvel Cinematic role as Nakia in Black Panther. The teaser trailer — which premiered during Game 4 of the 2017 NBA Finals — gained major traction across all social media platforms, enough to the point of making it Marvel's third most-watched trailer within a 24-hour span.
In addition to the first looks at several supporting characters, we saw Nyong'o's Nakia a few times as she served her role as a member of the Dora Milaje, the king of Wakanda's all-female team of bodyguards. The Oscar-winning actress took to Twitter tonight to share some great fan art.

The fan art, which was created by Twitter user @comicmunch, showcases' Nakia and Shuri (Letitia Wright) in their bright-colored Wakandan garb.
"Nakia & Shuri," Nyong'o tweeted. "The #BlackPanther fan art begins and I am here for it!"
Reflecting both of the character's likeness from the teaser, the fan art is full of bright and vivid colors, much akin to the clips we've seen from the movie.
