Description
Series: NarutoCharacters: Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Naruto, Kyuubi no Kitsune
Painted specifically for AN 2009. Its been a while since I've done serious high dpi fanart and I was still getting back into the groove of painting. Messed around a lot in Painter with this~ had much fun with the palette knife. I only wish I have a better tablet with 6D support and that Painter's palette knives would actually support that 6D~!
During process Kyuubi's numerous tails caused me much confusion, and ended up rainbow color tagged around the color wheel. Thus gaining it the nickname "fruitloops" The original sky was also frightfully neon-bright; I'm relieved as to how it turned out in the end.
(First time in literally years since I've submitted a piece; the new categories are headache-worthy.)

Hey um, I know this is kinda awkward, but I was wondering whether I could use this as a cover image for a fanfic I'm working on. I wanted to ask before actually using it, but you know.
If you don't want it used, that's fine! Don't feel pressured or anything.

This is so pretty!!! Naru-chan and Minato-sama look so cute here!!! (Especially Naru-chan in his cute little robe!!!)
And Kyuubi looks awesome!!

Haha~ it was my fondest wish that he graduates from the jumpsuit after the three year training. Sadly it wasn't to be~ xD

Yeah...I'm still holding out hope beyond all hope that he might *possibly* adopt something more form-fitting/less baggy (he honestly looked pregnant in some of the more recent chapters), and also hopefully less retina-searing...
I'm really hoping that Kishi is making Naruto wear baggy/overly loose orange clothing because of how low his self-esteem is, because that way, if he's mostly doing it for attention, once he's done and has enough time to go shopping he'll (hopefully hopefully hopefully) wear something better (and more fun to ogle XD)
I really want him in a standard jounin outfit with his sage robe (and maybe those silver arm/wrist bands that his dad wore)!!

Haha~! Pregnant XD;; Yeah with Kishimoto's recent drawings he certainly does look a bit.. round. ;;; It kind of feels like the recent manga's lacking new designs though. A lot of uniform reuse and those striped cloaks. Nothing stylish and individualized D:
And yes to the sage robe >D Not only does it remind me of Minato, but the colors look nice. I just hope he'd change the clothing under to something other than orange. It clashes something fierce. ;;

I love me some nice Minato art, and this is definately very, very nice! The colors you used work really well together, especially the bright orange, and I like how creamy the paint and blending looks (I don't know how to describe it, but I like it

Thanks for the insightful input! I was worried about how the orange would work with the other colors ^^ The 'creamy' description gave me a craving for yogurt though, haha.
