Description
As part of a commission, I was asked to draw this Original Character from the Naruto-verse. His name is Seitodou Yasuo and he's a retired/Chuunin from the Rain Country.

From his player's character info:
Quote: "You gotta flow... like water. Even the rain understands the flow. Alone a rain drop is just that, a drop... but together... they can level a mountain."

Profile: The boy named Yasuo might seem like an oddity, having come to the Leaf village, a village of Ninja and not seeming to be a ninja himself. Whatever his reasons are, he's here and he seems intent on staying awhile. Sometimes you might almost think him to be a Ninja... but he certainly doesn't act or dress the part and he wears no head protector. The only thing he'll readily say about himself is that he's from the village of Rain. His attitude is easy, very relaxed but somehow he seems rather distant, not getting very close to anyone. He keeps people at Arms length. Perhaps something in his past has changed his outlook on things... perhaps he /was/ a ninja once upon his time. Who knows?

This is one in a series of sketches done of the character. I found I really like to draw Yasuo! A little more of his character comes out in each rendition.

Here's a more, semi-finalized sketch.
