Description
This is a present for Nikku's ( ) 18th birthday, featuring his favorite Naruto character, Kabuto. ^_^Yei for Kabuto!
The speach bubble with the little musical thing is an artistic pun, but only people who've read/seen Naruto would gettit. So go watch the anime or read the manga! It's really freaking good. And Kabuto is a really cool character.
Anyways, back to the drawing. It took me forever to gain the courage to put a background on this thing. I had it visualized perfectly, but I was afraid of going through it. I wanted a simple background that would unify the piece, but give off a misty feel as well... I chose the color brown because it was the color that his eyes were, and I thought the eyes wouldn't so majorly contrast from the rest of the peice if I had a background with a similar color. I'm very proud of the eye, by the way... I had a hard time deciding WHAT color Kabuto's eyes are... and even though they seem dull grey/black in the anime, I wanted them to have more life, more reflection, so I put some color in them. I figure now that you can perceive that as either being his true eye color, or a reflection of his surroundings. Either way, I really like how that turned out.
The hair was also drawn in a completely different style than I normally use. This style, after I finished drawing it, reminded me of Tanemura Arina's style of drawing hair. Instead of focusing on the lighlights of the entire mass of hair, each strand or group of strands has it's own set highlight and shade, and follows that form from end to end. I didn't think about this when I was drawing it, but I really wanted to try something new with the hair... and because I have lots of confidence in my hair drawing I didn't think it would turn out bad, and it didn't. It turned out WAY longer than Kabuto's hair actually is... but what can I say, I love hair... I couldn't help it. I wanna braid his hair T-T
It was so hard for me to give him that... I wasn't sure if it was good or not when I finished it. I'm really happy he liked it.
Erm.... what else can I say? Happy being legally an adult, Nikku!! *hugs*

I'd draw you Kisame (Shark man) but I will never ever ever ever ever draw Orochimaru. That's like asking me to draw Naraku (from Inuyasha) That just WON'T work.
I'll draw you a pic of Kisame, as long as Itachi gets to be in the picture too >.>
But as for your comment, I'm really happy to hear that... maybe I really am getting better ^_^

I-can't-stop-looking-at-the-hair! =o-o=
How the freak do you do that? I wish I could do hair like that... =TT-TT=
Woooo, it's pretty! =^-^=

lol, if I'm allowed to be arrogant about two things, they're:
1) The fact that I am the master at Bloody Roar using Uriko
2) My hair coloring
XD cause I suck at everything else!
Like I said, this is en entirely new hair coloring style for me, although it may not look much different from the other art of hair I've done in the past. His hair, I wanted it to have an equal amount of highlights as shading so that it would give a silverie effect. I'm not sure if it did that, but I like how it looks anyway. I also wanted to make it more messy, which I acheived to some degree in his bangs, but not so much with his pony-tail (which is too long for Kabuto, but whatever... I like long hair). In the end I don't know if it turned out like I was planning... but then again it never does... when I draw hair I don't really have control over how it turns out... it always seems like it draws itself. Like... I know the technique, and I execute it... but it always just happens.
I also found out that it's nearly impossible for me to teach people how to draw hair... since I really tried explaining it to Amanda, but ended up confusing myself ×-×; I ended up just letting her watch me draw hair, but it's really hard having someone watch you draw... it takes away from your concentration, I think... I need to practice on concentration. And drawing figures, cause I'm horrible at that... need practice
*goes to read some scrolls to learn herself some drawing no jutsu*
XD oh how I love this anime.
