Description Fanart for ~aFlawedDesign 's fanfic "Behind The Mask" [link]

Yay for having girls play sports just as hard as the boys! Or harder, because Temari and Tenten are like Tank Sisters or something. I love them!

I don't actually follow ice hockey or teams or anything, but I love this story. It features Hinata as a kickass high school goalie who becomes the lone girl recruited into the Konoha Heat, a Major Junior team captained by Neji (Sasuke and Naruto are assistant captains).

After reading about Hinata and her closest friends, fellow Konoha High teammates Temari, Tenten, and Ino, preparing for the big final against Iwa, I just had to draw the girls in their gear. I love that the girls' friendship takes on its own role in the story. But that doesn't mean there aren't pairings--the only sure pairings are NejiTen and eventual SasuHina. Who Ino gets paired off with hasn't been revealed, but I'm personally rooting for Naruto since he's so hung up on a deliciously bitchy Sakura. And Gaara and Kankurou aren't left out--they play for the Suna Major Junior Team, Konoha Heat's rivals. As brothers of one of Hinata's best friends, you can imagine their level of familiarity (it's really quite cute!) and what might happen when Hinata joins the Heat. Oh ho ho!

This picture took SOOOO much longer than expected, mostly because at one point, I lost more than half the layers! Very frustrating. Anyways, the girls' jerseys used to say KONOHA in big blue letters across their chests on top of the orange spiral, but it looked terrible. And I picked blue and orange as the Konoha High School colors because it was mentioned that the prestigious Konoha Academy's color was green--just a bit of contrast. Oh, and that "C" on Temari's jersey means she's the captain.

Tenten, Temari, Hyuuga Hinata, and Yamanaka Ino belong to Kishimoto Masashi. "Behind The Mask" belongs to ~aFlawedDesign . Awesomeness belongs to the ass-whoopin' girls pictured.

LOL, sorry, but in the fanfiction this picture is based on, she's actually kind of evil. I like her in the manga, but if you read the fanfic, you'd see she's very different.

Well, it took me a while to realize it was you who drew this! (I should read usernames more often, heh ). Nyaa, I adore Hinata’s eyes! So pretty. And I agree about the awesome friendship these four have in the story, so unbreakable and strong; and portrayed well in this picture, definitely yearbook worthy

Thank you!

If there's one thing I love about the story, it's how vivid it is, like it's playing out right in front of you. Which is probably why it's so fun to draw stuff from the story.

Wow! I think you did an amazing job on this! I really like how you drew the expressions and poses. The expressions and poses, to me, seem like the real deal that you would see on a real athlete expressing themselves after a great victory with a picture-perfect pose. Keep up the outstanding art!

In response to your Artist Comments, I admire how the story shows such great friendship, teamwork, trust, and showing people girls are just as great as boys! Yeah!

It's so true--there aren't many stories where the girls have such genuine friendships with no jealousy, ulterior motives, or boys in the way. If anything, the girls are a great support system when Hinata's dealing with one asinine boy in particular.

Aww, I really love the vibe you get from looking at this pic. It makes you all happeh
It's gorgeous. It reminds me of something like a photo after a victory, caught up in the moment.
Not much of a fan of hockey anyway, but the overall pic is gorgeous ^^ And now I have a recommended fic in my spare time too
