Description
Inspired to chapter 508 - 4 of 4 pictures-then Itachi said:
"We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths"
I think Itachi gave to Kisame the most precious gift a man could give to another: the hope.
I really loved this chapter, it touched me deeply, surely for my personal reasons - anyway, I hope you like these pictures!
1 - "Miserables" - [link]
2 - "Destiny of people like us" - [link]
3 - "A man lost in the mist" - [link]
4 - here
technique: pencil, Photoshop CS5, textures by me

Β I remember this episode this is the one where Itachi tells Kisame that "We're not fish, we are human....."Β

yes you are right, this scene was one of the most deep scenes in the whole series i think.
"No matter who you are...
you do not know what kind of human you are until the very end." he said :3

Really great. Well, Itachi was above all, a pretender.

Brilliant picture! I love the detail you add everywhere and I love Itachi's expression
My favourite line of the chapter was "Itachi-san... It seems that in the end I'm not so terrible afterall."

I second 's plea!
I truly love his expressive face here. ThereΒ΄s something in his eyes
which makes you forget about every doubt and disbelief in the things he says.
Such a beautiful expression.

Ok, I'll try to make a tutorial 
About his words, which have confused and amused a lot of people, I think that were rather clear in their sense. Kisame has spoken in metaphors, drawing a parallel between the destiny of sharks and people like themselves, but Itachi has pointed out the difference between animals and humans: the free will, that Kisame seems to have forgotten with his fatalism.

Pretty please, my dear, a tutorial for hair and skin? 
I had told you this on your journal: Itachi in that panel was drawn very beautiful. He was 13-14 years old, right after he left Konoha. Yet, he was mature enough to offer hope to Kisame who was so much older and veteran in war. This incident must have been really precious for him, as it's the one that he remembers right before his end. They both had "strange" deaths, but managed to keep their honor until the end.
His stare is mesmerizing, I was looking into his eyes for much. Congrats for managing this!

I was just thinking to make one
Itachi was even too mature for his age, Nekomata (I'm not sure to remember its name) was right calling him 'monster'
Anyway, that chapter was really fashinating, intense, suggestive
Thanks

Nekomata, you are right! He couldn't defeat this little kid, 10 years old Itachi! One of the best episodes ever, even if it was a filler one! 
Yes, he was a little cute monster with cat ears.

...Spalancati o cuore 
Grandioso!!!!
Perdona lo sfogo, ma non lo biasimo al 100% perchΓ© a lui DOVIAMO la creazione di ITACHI, ma credo che questo suo PERSONAGGIO SIA STATO ormai COMPLETAMENTE "ADOTTATO" DA TE COME UN FIGLIO.... Itachi ormai E' TUO, chi potrebbe interpretarlo meglio? A parer mio guardando e riguardando quegli occhi ,nessuno..

sono felice che ti piaccia
non scomodiamo il mio maestro barbuto 
A Kishimoto bisogna riconoscere di aver saputo creare personaggi, relativi caratteri e scene tanto belle da essere penetranti, Γ¨ un autore che stimo per questo. Un po' meno per certe scelte
Per disegnare questo primo piano e l'altro di Kisame ho fatto tanti di quei tentativi che non ti dico... li ho ridisegnati un sacco di volte. Di questo forse avrei dovuto fare un primissimo piano e allargare il canvas a destra o a sinistra - un orientamento orizzontale, che di solito mi mette a disagio, ma che forse si sarebbe adattato meglio a concentrare l'attenzione sulla severitΓ dello sguardo e a proporre la visuale dell'orizzonte, metafora di quella 'prospettiva' che Kisame non riusciva a vedere nella sua vita, proprio come se vivesse immerso nella nebbia fitta. Faccio qualche prova e magari edito l'immagine... poi vedo ^^
Grazie per le lodi sperticate, esagerate!!

(giusto un po' di calma in ufficio..)..Certo che mi piace : LO ADORO
Sei grandiosa a raffiguare il mare (le onde in particolare, probabilmente perché te esse hanno un significato molto "metaforico"..)..Te l'ho già detto: io dico le cose così come stanno e non cambio idea! ..Ieri in ufficio, non riuscivo staccare gli occhi da lui...Ti faccio ancora un sonoro applauso per tutta la straorinaria sequenza di capolavori , uno dietro l'altro!

You captured the scene really well. All the four pics were awesome. I love your style.

How you can express the loss, the strength and determination to shoulder such a heavy load...it amazes me. You rock so hard.

it was aweosme to see kishimoto still cares his 'bad guys' sometimes
you're awesome nivalis-san
pics are perfect

Qua è quando c'è la perla di saggezza di Itachi "noi non siamo pesci"? x°D Ti giuro che sono caduta dalla sedia dal ridere XDDD (Bello il tuo Itachi serioso! Vabbè basta, sto zitta che tanto so solo dirti che mi piacciono i tuoi disegni >.>)

'Un sapete cogliere la metafora, ovvìaaa
è serio perchè sta dicendo una cosa molto importante ^^ tanto importante che Kisame l'ha ricordato in punto di morte.. ok, mi strapiace questa parte, lo ammetto
grazie infinite

This phrase was said by one of my favorite characters in other fandom - Babylon5 - "all we know is that we will die. It is only a matter of how, when and whether or not it is with honor."...
Itachi looks really young here - as he has to - about 14, but since he DOES understand what he says very well, he, in some ways, looks older, than Kisame. Not by age, of course, but... you know, when you first told me about this - about the hope he has given to Kisame - I understood why Kisame addressed him "Itachi-san".
Incredibly good picture!

Interesting
Itachi could be 14 or 15, I don't know... he's too mature for his age, anyway - Nekomata was right: he's a monster 
I love to think that Kisame started to call Itachi-san just after this meeting. In my translation I read he called him that way already from the beginning... but I hope it was just an error because of a hurried work
thank you very much ^///^

I absolutely love your Itachi, you caught his expression perfectly

Aye, the short scene is one of my favorite bits in the entire manga. Again, your very right, and I didn't put as much thought into it myself. The hope that he gave Kisame must have made all the difference.
Really enjoy your style, good work again.

Molto bello anche questo...ma la scena degli squali Γ¨ INCOMPARABILE...sembra acquerello

Ti Γ¨ piaciuta davvero quella scena
Grazie anche per questo, come sai ci tengo molto, queste cose vanno un po' oltre la fan art per quanto mi riguarda

I love the way you draw him. He looks so like himself and not like himself in the same time. I think it's this something in his eyes - I can catch his sadness, the truth about his life and his other emotions in them. Itachi'd got a really expressing sight.
Great job.

Drawing in semi-realism changes something in the final aspect, I guess ^^
Here, I wanted to show his firmness through his look, for this I didn't drawn reflexes in the eyes in order to emphasize it
Thank you very much

I can see it. I's talking about your other arts too, not only this one.
No problem.

I really love the relationship between Kisame and Itachi. Very complex and touching... in the nukenin way. Which makes it even more sad and tragic. And yet - you are right: Itachi gave Kisame hope; Itachi didn't give up on him right away - and, I believe, was a truly precious gift. I'm sure Itachi got true support in return. They were real partners.

It's a wonderful gift, priceless, especially for those who are searching for that.
