Description This is for the ~narutofanclub contest. The contest runs for the whole month, and only started yesterday, but hey, I'm enthusiastic and with plenty of time on my hands =3.

Done in Photoshop, used a photo as a reference for the bg. He has a weird hair design btw – it's short at the back, with two long bits at the side which loop around and are fastened at the back. I'm a sucker for complicated hairstyles.

So here's my original nin's profile. Sorry about the length – I kept thinking of new things to add as I was writing.

Edit: changed the head protector symbol to the correct one.
------
Name: Fuzaino, Senritsu*
Age: 15
Ranking: Snow village Genin.

History: Lives with his father, two sisters and mother's grandparents. His father is a Chuunin who is a bit absent-minded when it comes to looking after his kids. He left most of the child raising and disciplinary actions to his wife, Rin: a Jounin who was killed four years ago on a mission to the Stone country. Thankfully, his wife's parents were already living with them in order to both save on living expenses (they're stingy with money) and look after the kids while Rin was working, so it wasn't difficult for them to take over the role of main carer once she was killed. Senritsu doesn't always like his family – he wishes his grandparents could be normal and buy him new things occasionally, instead of making him mend his broken ones; he wishes his younger sisters (aged 9 and 7) weren't so loud and would stop begging him to play ninja with them, and he wishes his father would take a more active role in the household. Despite that, he does love them all, and would feel weird if they weren't there.

When he was younger, Senritsu went through the unpleasant (for everyone else) stage of being an obnoxious brat. He was easily annoyed by his family and everyone else, and would spend most of his time lounging on a tree or snow bank somewhere, letting his mind wander. In an attempt to bring him into line and instill some military obedience, his grandfather suggested enrolling him in the local ninja accademy, which his stressed mother agreed to. He still isn't the most friendly guy in the world, but being forced to pay attention in class and work with others has done Senritsu some good, and he's now almost likeable.

Likes: Thinking, making ice sculptures, watching the world go by, talking to birds (even though they don't talk back).

Dislikes: cold water, his grandmother's cooking (she boils out all the flavour), whiny girls, being hassled, traveling to warm climates (especially humid or sandy ones).

Jutsu used: Apart from the basic jutsu taught to all genin, he's also learnt various ice jutsu from his parents, as well as being moderately skilled in Taijutsu thanks to training with his grandfather. His favourite jutsu is the Mieru Busoukaijo (visual disarmament) – a genjutsu he created which adjusts the perception of enemies. They begin to see the world around them as a series of dizzying shapes and patterns, which then start to spin to make them feel really nauseous. It doesn't do any damage, but makes it easier for running away or attacking further.

Weapons used: Apart from the basic kunai and shuriken, he doesn't use any ninja weapons. He prefers either fighting unarmed, or using his ice ninjutsu to attack enemies from a distance (or close-range if he's really desperate).

Future goals, dreams, and hopes: When he was a surly six year old, he wanted to be a hermit and live in the mountains. He's come to realise that living without any other person might not be so great though, so now his dream is to live to old age (a difficult enough achievement for a ninja) and spend his remaining days doing as he pleases (which will probably consist of nothing in particular).

Extra Info: If someone from his village was asked to describe him in one word, many of them would probably choose " dreamer", and would promptly follow it up with a rant on how this is a bad thing – shinobi with their heads in the clouds are often a liability on missions. Senritsu himself would prefer " detached" as a description, since his vacant attitude is mostly a result of not particularly caring about the world around him, and he never dreams much anyway.

Given that ninja are required to be observant to live, it would seem like a Really Stupid Idea for someone who occasionally walks into low-hanging tree branches to be placed in a position where he must dodge sharp objects being thrown at him by unfriendly ninja, and to also be responsible for his teammates lives.

To be fair though, Senritsu isn't as hopeless a ninja as his family expected, and since becoming a genin he's actually begun to pay attention – partly because he's found something interesting in life, and partly because his teammates are likely to throw something at him if he doesn't. He still likes staring at the patterns the trees make, watching the snow fall and pondering the meaning of life, but now he's started to watch (and actually care about) other people too.

*One way to grab his attention is to shorten his name to Sen, a name he considers too feminine. He's aware that it's easy enough to mistake him for a girl and refer to him as one, but that doesn't mean he won't try to kill you if you do.

Wow, that's a really cool pic. The bio is very complex and thorough, though I get bored reading them. The background is really well done, though it seems like you've recieved a lot of feedback about that already. I particularly like the detail in the pine needles. The hair is cool too with a different type of style. I can see him with a little snow bunny friend. *huggles bunny* I do have a question though: Is Senritsu supposed to be you or based off of you? I usually do that with one of my characters like Aylin but she's kinda found herself. *faves*

Ralein In reply to Go-Devil-Dante [2004-09-26 08:44:30 +0000 UTC]

If I'm efficient, it's only at colouring – drawing a character always takes around 5 hours for me, despite the fact that I'm not drawing any part of the background and it's usually not complex or a full body shot. It's something I need to work on ;

If you ever want any of your B/W pictures coloured, feel free to ask ^^.

WOW REALLY!???? XD That'd be so cool!!! you and ~nicole1725 are like the BG Queens in my opinion!!! You can see what you want in ur minds and it comes out AAAAWESOMELY!!! XD She sez she just puts down blobs of colour and they turn into BGs, XD Do u plan at all?

Ralein In reply to Go-Devil-Dante [2004-10-01 13:35:36 +0000 UTC]

Well, you do such kickass drawings, it'd be an honour (not to mention that it's often sexy L/Raito stuff )

Nicole1725's backgrounds are so very pretty. Especially [link] and [link]

...and they're all oekaki too! o__0;;;

With backgrounds, I always have an idea in my mind before I start, though they usually don't end up that similar to what I imagined ^_^; They mostly change for the better though – I get sidetracked and start adding in more detail as I think of new ideas. Basically, I do plan (mentally) what the image will look like, then I lay down large areas of colour, then around that stage plus the stage where I'm adding more detail, I start thinking 'ooh, this colour mixed nicely at this point' or 'this scribble looks like a rock/interesting foliage' and let it go from there ^^

Ooo, OK, after bunkun's pic and Go-Angel's I'll draw a DN piccy for colorage, .. any requests on what they should be doing?

Ralein In reply to Go-Devil-Dante [2004-10-03 06:53:57 +0000 UTC]

Cool XD Umm...can Raito (and a tag-along Ryuuku) be stalking L while he does some shopping along a street of stalls? And the dialogue be something like:
Ryuuku: "...this has gone past obsession, you know."
Raito: "Shut up. Go take a closer look and tell me what he's doing with that < insert object here>"

...or something wittier, if you have any ideas, because my dialogue-writing skills suck XP

Feel free to change the idea as much as you like, or draw something else though. The only requirement is that it unfortunately can't be obvious yaoi, since my family always see what I draw/colour and I don't want to deal with my brother or dad's reaction

chuwei [2004-01-14 06:06:52 +0000 UTC]

He's gorgeous. That background is amazing and I love the way you made the snowflake symbol on his hitai-ate as well. His eyes and hair and expression are so beautiful and I love the slight sketchiness of this picture!
At first when I saw your avatar I believed it was Sasuke. Now I see it's your original character who, seems much cooler than Sasuke, anyway.
your art is so pretty^^ I was so glad when I clicked on your avatar and found out it was your own art, and not ending up being some doujinshi image stolen from a Japanese artist. T-T

Ralein In reply to chuwei [2004-01-14 08:36:59 +0000 UTC]

Thanks . I hadn't realised he looked like Sasuke actually...when I was drawing it, he kept reminding me of Haku, with possibly a bit of Kabuto thrown into the mix. I'm glad you like the snowflake symbol, since I wasn't sure whether it looked okay. I'd drawn this image before the club had provided the village symbols, so I'd made my own (much simpler – just 3 wonky circles) symbol and coloured it to look like it was embossed into the metal. When I had to erase that and replace it with the complex proper symbol, trying to make it look carved into the metal was a lot harder ^^.

As for the avatar – I dislike people reusing Japanese fanart, so it really wasn't an option for me .

chuwei In reply to Ralein [2004-01-14 10:23:14 +0000 UTC]

mm. This picture didn't look as much like Sasuke, just the one in your avatar was cropped, and with those bangs, he looked like Sasuke. ^^
I understand, I don't like it when people reuse Japanese fanarts too. T^T

If I could vote, I'd vote for your picture. I always wonder how you get your backround like that, they are so detailed at pretty. Do people draw over the photo to make it look like the picture? I like talking to birds too, what a wise boy. The hair style is really cool, I've never met someone who had it done that way(and that colour rocks). There is even snow prints! great stuff!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Ralein In reply to nattell [2004-01-07 03:16:20 +0000 UTC]

Thanks ^^. As for realistic backgrounds, you can either paint over top (like I did with the BB Christmas pic), simply have the photo open beside the picture and try to copy it, or do a bit of a mixture like I did here and trace the positions of the main objects, then remove the photo and start colouring. Colouring straight on top of the photo is possibly easier, but you get a nicer effect if you just repaint the whole thing. Also, repainting means you can simplify bits and not have nearly as much complexity as the photo had . I almost always use refs if I'm aiming for a detailed nature scene, but usually I'd have about 6 different ones or so, and they can't always be identified in the picture itself – they just provide useful information about how grass stalks bend, how light through trees looks, etc.

Yeah, I love green hair too ^__^. I was going to make it a more realistic colour, as most people in the Naruto world have, but then I realised that Sakura's pink and Kabuto's blue certainly aren't real, and so the next logical colour would be green (a hair colour I've adored ever since seeing Haku in Spirited Away *grin*). The hairstyle is just me having fun. It was originally only one loop that went around the back of his head, but once I'd drawn it (and liked it), I realised it should've been on the other side of his head, unseen, given the angle he was turning. There's no way I wanted to do that, so I turned it into two loops (ie: changed nothing and simply made an excuse as to why it was correct ^^) and later added the short strands at the back.

Snow prints = me realising that he can't have just appeared in the clearing without disturbing the ground. Though now I realise he could've dropped out of the trees? n_n

Thankyou muchly for your comments, and sorry about the length of my reply ^_^.

If he jumped out of the trees, wouldn't a much of the snow blow away from around him?
