Naruto 631 p.9

This page shows that the Hokages have created a massive barrier. This barrier is so massive that even the Juubi looks a bit tiny in it. The gates create by Hashirama have come to lock down the Juubi's arms/tails. Gai and Lee are seen standing and admiring the impressive red barrier. It is noted by Gai that this barrier is several times stronger than the barrier that was used to capture Hiruzen way back in part 1 by the sound four. That was a very strong barrier as there was no way for Anbu to get in it or for Hiruzen to escape/kill the sound four in it. Obviously though, this barrier may not be enough for the Juubi. We will have to wait and see. We see that the Juubi does not like what is happening to it right now, as it lets out a scream. To the left of this page we see Sasuke and Juugo jumping into the battlefield late, all majestic like. Sakura is surprised (again). Naruto of course is calm and collected (who would have thought that this chapter would have Sakura as the excited one and not Naruto?) This is my favorite page from this chapter. The coloring, shading, highlighting, lighting, and overall effects done on this page are the best that I have done in my opinion. Or maybe they just came together really well. This page is where I feel like I reached a point in my shading where I was completely content with it. This page originally belonged to my fellow colorkage, m2c (I am not sure if he has a deviantart account)(reddit.com/user/m2c). He is one of the original colorkages, as in he has been there since the beginning and helped set it up. He is also leaps and bounds ahead of me in terms of coloring. Unfortunately though, he could not finish his page this week and put it up for grabs, so I took it. He had only done a little bit of base color so I didn't have much to work off of in terms of shading (it would have been great to just follow his shading techniques), so I basically started from scratch as I finished the base color and did everything else. The top panel with the Juubi was kinda hard to do because of the barrier being dark but I did. You can see that the gates are covering the Juubi's tails. This is something I almost missed due due the darkness/grayness of the panel in the manga. After I did coloring and shading, the I had a slight Gaussian blur done on the barrier that faded outwards. The shading in the Sasuke panel was my best in my opinion. It is tough to shade things that are already black in the manga but I did it with Sasuke. I also really like the highlights I did on Sasuke's skin and Juugo's cloak. They are slight white lines (most noticable on the top of Juugo's cloak and Sasuke's arm. Overall, the shading and highlighting was very good here (I'm even admiring the rocks!). I really liked this, and it is #1 for me this chapter and my best coloring!
