Description More DR In Memoriam doujin-related sketches. This time with Sand Nin.

Other Parts:
Part 1 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6

Again, doodles mostly done in class, inked and scanned for no real reason other than boredom and whatnot.

So far, only the girl (who you might recall from my Sand Nin Sketch or my Red and Fan Sand Nin scrap) in this collection has a name, as I haven't decided on names for either boy. The only thing I've figured out for sure about this group of ninja is their personalities and specializations. EDIT: Well, actually, I have decided on the name for Red - "Kagomaru" and I figured he's Gaara's brat.

Commentary is welcome and appreciated... as are suggestions for what the hell to name the third teammate and which name I should choose for Red of the three I mention below.


1. Suzume, 15, idolizes Temari

2. "Red" - I was tied between three different names for him (Akaikumori, Kagomaru, and Sunamoujuu), which is why I keep referring to him as "Red" more often than not. He's a puppet user.

3. Pretty self-explanatory. Suzume is behind him giggling. Got to love genetics, especially when you inherit the lack of eyebrows. And Red's lovely OHNOES face.

4. Suzume is mad. Mad Suzume = CLOBBERIN TIME.

5. Suzume and the third member of the team at 5 and 4 respectively. This is before Suzume decides that she'll do her best to be "just like Temari-sama." They're so cute.

6. "Red" - sighing about idiot teammates.

7. "Red" - ...

8. "Red" as little kid looking up, after recieving praise for mastering something difficult. He really sets high standards for himself in hopes of impressing Gaara and living up to the expectations placed on him by being from a family of very powerful ninja.

9. "Red", in your FACE. I like his eyes.

10. Suzume's hair down side view and the third member of the team in normal genin clothes with his knives.

11. "Red", frustrated with the new puppet, which didn't turn out how he wanted. Lol, it looks like Zim.

12. "Red", as an adult.

13. "Red" using a jutsu he improvises, called Sand Puppet, and looking more than a little strained from it. Basically, he forces his chakra strings through sand to coat them in sand and turn the strings into blades at the cost of a heavy chakra drain. Best used within close range to end a fight quickly.

Yeah, I know.

I can't say for sure about that.

Well, you are working on this second generation, so I'm sure you'll come up with it eventually.

Also consider other characters current stories, too. Be they personal, or relationships with others, etc etc etc.

I'm jus' Sayin'.

I suppose I will.

Kinda hard to ignore relationships when they're so rabidly argued about by fandom. Naruto as a series is ultimately romantically ambiguous - I find it difficult to find anything more than casual flirting at most and even then, sometimes it's stretching it. I think the only time I've seen someone make a blatant pass at anyone recently was Karin in the more recent chapters.

But I digress. I just like designing characters and the plotbunnies just like attacking my brain. If and when my subconscious churns out more about the In Memoriam universe, I'll probably have a better idea of where pairings stand.

Well, as for the relationship thing, I won't tell you who to pick, just pick whatever relationships seem natural to you, just as long as they look like they actually could happen in the series.

I like Designs for Characters. From almost Any Kind of Video game and Anime, mostly. Do you think you could show me a character design of a Teen-Genin-ish level for Naruto's daughter? (Kana, was it?) in exchange for a view of my Jonin-level Brother of Kakashi, and loyal Hokage Attendant? Kind of a You-show-me-yours-I-show-you-mine, but in an Appropriate matter? (unless you already saw my Gallery?)

By the by, I've finished that drawing I promised. I just need to scan, then color it.

Another thing we could focus on: Character Development. Ways characters have improved over the course of Naruto's Coronation. For example, at the end of the Naruto Manga (and I apologize if I spoil anything), Asuma died to the Akatsuki (i think that was it) and Kurenai was heartbroken. Shikamaru visits his grave to find her there, and that she is pregnant with Asuma's child. Shikamaru vows to guard the baby with his life, as a promise to Asuma. Let's say the kid's now in the Academy, and Shikamaru is his/her surrogate father or brother to him/her. He/she looks up to him, and will do anything to impress him and his/her mother. Shikamaru still wouldn't be the working type, but still breaks his neck (figuratively) to protect him/her from danger. It's just a suggesstion, you can come up with the rest.

I feel like I'm done hassling you. I'm only saying it's something to take into consideration.

By the way, is it called, "Naruto: In Memoriam" or just "In Memorim"? I wonder how that would sound in Japanese?

Genin Hana, Rinji and Hakukaji? Drew that the same time I drew Gaara's costume redesign, and with their teacher to boot. But yeah, I don't really have the time to make another one at this point. I really have to finish the other stuff first and I've just been pulling a Shikamaru to give my wrists a break from the computer.

Cool. Look forward to seeing it.

The characters come to me (usually when I'm in classes) and I usually get a very vivid glimpse of them appearance and personality-wise in my head. Names and finer detail stuff usually come later. After all, Hana and Rinji didn't have names when I first posted "2" and I certainly hadn't worked out their abilities at that point.

The doujinshi volume will be called "Demon Reels" and "In Memoriam" is the name of the story with Hana and co. "In Memoriam" is also what I call anything dealing with Hana and co's universe. In Japanese? Eh.... I don't know. I don't speak it. The phrase probably won't translate well.

I knew you drew them, I was asking if I could see them. "what a drag" And you didn't mention if you wanted to see my character or not.

I'll get around to it as soon as I'm capable. I cannot get to my scanner.

Well, I'll certainly wait to hear about it.

That's good. Is it still called "Naruto" though?

Mouuuu! Not yet! I haven't even cleaned it!

And yes I have seen your gallery! Mou!

No it won't. The doujin is a collection of stuff from a bunch different series, not just any one series.
