Title: Hinata v. Tenten
Original Post Date: 6.07.2006

The Story:
The chuunin exams have come around again, Hinata and Tenten are in a fierce battle to advance to the next round.

My Take:
I put a lot of time into this one, and I think I did a pretty good job on it. You never think about how long some of these things take until you actually try it yourself. Hinata and Tenten, with weapons and all, including a baterang thrown in for reasons only known to me…you’re free to guess if you want. The background took some doing, I needed to make sure I had all the symbols right, and then I needed to use the glowing effect for the first time.

What I Like Most:
I got to throw in some random weapons in there, plenty of kunai, needles, knives, and a scythe or two, even a baterang got in there (if you can tell me why I was influenced to put it there, you won’t win anything, but I’ll be impressed). At this point, I’ve never tried drawing those symbols on the ground before, nor have I tried the glowing effects, but for a first time, they came out very well, better than I could have hoped.

What I Dislike Most:
At the time I did this, I took more liberties in changing things to suit me, I still do that to an extent, but it’s not like it was a few years ago. I drew Hinata’s hair in a different style than the original. It looked ok to me then, but now…not so much. Maybe I could have used some more weapons there, I’m torn on that because I think it would seem more effective, but on the other hand, it may take away from everything else that was done here.

Final Thoughts: :
For something done in 2006, I have to say that this was ahead of its time. The way I add color to my projects has changed for the better, but the results are still comparable. This is still one of my favorites, and I think it’s better than some of the ones I’ve done recently.
