Description it's official...

I hate drawing flames on clothing.

I don't mind the Hokage's robes but this is ridiculous.


for those of you wondering why I put his shuriken pouch on the left instead of his right leg, it's because it acts as both an equipment carrying case and partial leg protection.



in case you haven't noticed I'm just plain irritated with this sketch. It took atleat five tries...a couple of hours and a ton of patience, which I've just recently run out of. Oh, and the poses were all wrong and.... (I'm tired, when's summer vacation???)


Tellemicus...you're trying to turn Naruto into a one man armament or tank or whatever, aren't you???

A nin can only carry so many pointy sharp objects before he's turned into the tin man...and looks incredibly stupid as well as paranoid.

Man, this design royally screwed me over. All I will say is that it was painful...

It's a shame you got so fed up with this one because I like it quite a lot (and the flames look cool, no matter what you say)

But it must be so tricky to try to translate someone else's vision on paper... Kudos to you!

maybe, probably, I really don't know. Originally it was one of those nin cards that Kabuto had (specifically his) but I was frustrated with the pic as a whole so I turned it into a scroll...I was just tired.

wells, I dunno about a tutorial but I can tell what I do.

I'll give you the same advice/tips I told someone else. I take tracing paper and trace each and every one of Kishimoto's pictures from the manga. what that does is it trains your muscle memory and helps train your eye to proportions and what not.

and I trace each pic till my hand cramps...it takes a large amount oof time but the eventual pay-off is worth it. You just have to bewilling to spend the time.

this method works for any artist be they manga, manhwa, or renaissance.

On a positive note, though, you did a very good job on the jacket and his expression. At least given what little room you had to spare to be creative.

question.

in reference to your fanfic...

Is Naruto covered with dried or wet blood as well as dirt/mud and splinters/scratches/bruises...etc.????

or is he magically cleaned by the youkai???

exactly how damaged are his pants???

also what time of day is it??

where is his position in relation to Ichibi and what exactly should the landscape (is it flat or hilly?)?

even at the zenith of his jump, where is the horizon in position to him...or do I have to take a hack at it???

Tellemicus In reply to OceFossa [2007-04-25 12:18:57 +0000 UTC]

That's a lot of questions. Let's see now.

1) Yes, he is covered in blood (wet) and mud because of the blood. But the mud is mostly along his back, legs, and arms. The blood mostly matted against his back, shoulders, and his pants is soaked in it.
2) His pants are torn up a little, but mostly down around his knees and shins. Some of it is hanging on by mere threads.
3) If I remember correctly, the time of day should be close to noon. So it's quite bright and sunny out.
4) Naruto should be somewhere near the canopy of the forest.
5) I'd say that landscape is mostly flatlands with an occasional hill. Remember, Konoha should be on or near the horizon as well.

I'll be waiting for whatever else you decide to throw up next.

please, please, please agree with me in that plain black pants would be better...

Tellemicus In reply to OceFossa [2007-04-23 15:33:49 +0000 UTC]

Yes, you're right. Black pants would've been better for the picture, now that I see it. Or at least they would if he wasn't wearing that jacket as well.

Hm, maybe if you changed the pants to black and modified the weapon's pouch, it would be a little bit better? *shrugs* What do you think?

Honestly your design has grown on me...I'll probably throw up another version later (when I'm not under a ton of stress).

Thank you for weathering my tantrum as well as you did.

anyways, Here's a link to my scraps...I sent you another reply about essential details I will need to give you an accurate pict.

Anyways think of this as a teaser for your request: [link]

hope you enjoy!!

*sigh* I'm sorry. It's just when I get an idea, I go eccentric over it. I can't control myself. Kind of like what I'm doing with the Legacy. I get so absorbed into it because of all the ideas and possibilities. In fact, that's probably the reason that it's so well written I dare say.

From now on I'll refrain from suggesting new ideas like this one. I'm sorry again. It seemed so much better in my head, but I will admit that you have a very valid point.

I'm so, so sorry!!!

I was just annoyed with my inability to render your idea right away. Yes, I have/suffer from that childish urge/wish to do everything right and perfect the first time around.

It was a challenge...and I'm glad I took it up.

I really don't mind your suggestions...you don't have to reframe throwing out new ideas...just tone down the sharp pointy objects.

eccentricity is what makes your story an imaginative ride, really.
