Description Haruno Sakura from Naruto

I have really enjoyed this character since she grew up, before the time skip I had found myself on the verge of wishing to slap, strangle or just shove her off a cliff. Of all the characters in Naruto I'd say she's the one that has changed the most and for the better.

Naruto belongs to Kishimoto and all the publishing companies laying claim.. hell, you know the routine

This picture is simply amazing. I really love her face, not every artist can really nail a more mature looking Sakura. Great job.

Mel,
What can I say? You done it once again. Beautiful job on the charcter. I really like how you do the hair. It's so crisp, and dynamic. The pose is nice and dynamic as well, and she looks like she is ready for action . I love the expression on her face. She seems laid back and calm with the smile showing confidence . You always capture expression so well in my opinion and that's one reason why I love watching your artwork . You're definitely getting better with the hands. The hands are looking really good now, and it seems you're getting comfortable with them.

The coloring is really good. I love the balance you have here witht he bright pink of her hair, the mid tone red shirt, and the Black shorts. I don't know if you were meant to do that, but it works really well and it seems you work with three tones when you color.

I love the realism of the face. It still have the cartoon look, but with a realistic touch. I really like that alot, because it shows more of you and it expresses more of who you are.

Mel, it's good to see your artwork once again, and keep it up. I love how I can learn more of who you are through your artwork and you should never change that. It definitely put a smile to my face to see how much you're growing. Keep expressing yourself Mel, because I'm listening . .

Nice job Mely
I'm absolutely loving this picture. The hair is insane! That must have taken you a long time, but its so beautiful and stringy.

MelyCat In reply to silenteeep [2009-04-03 12:44:04 +0000 UTC]

thanks! Glad that you liked it so much, coming from you I take that as a big compliment
Actually the hair didn't take me long at all, maybe that's why it was stringy...ironically after I finished doing the hair I really wanted a glass of strawberry milk or a milkshake. That's what her hair color reminds me of, or maybe I'm just weird like that

Great Job! one of Shikamaru next!!! I agree she's had the most development since they became adults.. man I'm not good at hating... but I haaaeeted Sakura.. I remember when she was trying to keep sasuke from leaving that one noght that he knocked her out and left her on that bench... well next to the bench there was a trash can.. and my friend and I agreed that he should have left her in the trash can... lol. but she's definately earned some respect since then. I really like the pose you chose for her, it's very dynamic.

Thanks, Eni!
Heh, for you? Sure, what kind of atmosphere? Relaxed, fight....

Hahahaha, yeh, I had to keep reminding myself that during that part they are all still 12-13 or thereabouts, but still she made me want to slam my head into the desk when I read through her parts. So thankfully for the sake of my face I'm glad she's not like that anymore
Thanks for the comment, Eni, I always enjoy them and your awesomeness
