Did You Miss Me?
Hello.
I know I haven't been around for a while, but at least I come back with a new fan art.
It's a Naruto fan art, as requested by ocunio (request posted in my Guestbook).
It took me a while to do it, first because I was busy doing other requests at the time, and second because I had several problems to solve before doing the art:
1. I never watched Naruto series, or read Naruto manga before, so I had to get acquainted with the story first.
2. The request was specific about drawing five characters, but three of them were obligatory: Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara. I had to choose the other two. I decided on Sakura almost as soon as I started reading manga and I think she has to have her place besides Naruto and Sasuke. I had great trouble deciding who to put as a fifth character in the picture. Finally I decided on Shikamaru because he gives a good balance to the characters in the art. That is because three obligatory characters all have special abilities (monsters inside or an advanced bloodline) and a difficult childhood, while Sakura has only her brain and her trained skills (and both parents), so I thought it would be nice to place someone more like her in the art. I decided on Shikamaru because he seems quite a normal kid, with his brain as his strongest weapon. Besides, since Sakura will become a medical ninja later in the story, I thought I could make these five like a team (needing a good leader – the one that was the first to become a chuunin).
I decided to draw them all as they were introduced early in the story because that's the time when Sasuke was still in the Leaf village.
3. There was also a problem of fire weapons that was requested. Almost as soon as I started to get acquainted with the story I noticed that these sorts of weapons aren't used by characters at all. You will notice that I drew Naruto holding his right hand over the sword (I imagined him using his jutsu on the sword). I think it turned out well (although Naruto has a wind type chakra). You will notice that a sword reminds somewhat of InuYasha's Tetsusaiga. That's because Naruto reminds me a lot of InuYasha. As for Sasuke, he has a fire type chakra, so fire jutsu suits him well. I thought flaming shurikens suite Sasuke more than a sword, so you'll see one floating in each Sasuke's hand.
I hope I didn’t bore you with my explanation, but I thought this fan art needed a small “getting into” to be truly understood.
Hopefully there will be a lot of comments. I am curious to see what others think of my choice of characters.
Anyway, I hope you like my art, and I promise to post the next one sooner.
