Description Now I am freakishly proud of this one, and I feel I have every right to be. I spent about eight hours on this from start to finish, the longest time I think I've ever invested in a single piece of art. And, save for a few minute items I would seriously love to change (*cough*Naruto's hair, and some of the coloring on his hair and face*cough*) I love this to death.

Dedicated to (and serving as a sort of early Christmas present for) and

Got the title from U2's song "One Tree Hill." Made Arashi listen to it and she and I both agreed it was a very Naruto-esque song.

We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy love
The sun so bright it leaves no shadows
Only scars carved into stone
On the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes

You run like river, on like a sea
You run like a river runs to the sea

And in the world a heart of darkness
A fire zone
Where poets speak their heart
Then bleed for it
Jara sang, his song a weapon
In the hands of love
You know his blood still cries
From the ground

It runs like a river runs to the sea
It runs like a river to the sea

I don't believe in painted roses
Or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the merciful
I'll see you again
When the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red
Over One Tree Hill

We run like a river
Run to the sea
We run like a river to the sea
And when it's raining
Raining hard
That's when the rain will
Break my heart

Raining...raining in the heart
Raining in your heart
Raining...raining to your heart
Raining, raining...raining
Raining to your heart
Raining...raining in your heart
Raining in your heart..
To the sea

Oh great ocean
Oh great sea
Run to the ocean
Run to the sea


Ah, symbolism.

That picture really is big, isn't it? Stupid sizes don't transfer well from photoshop to the internet....*growls*

Dedicated in part to me? Moi? 'Lil ol' me? Why thank you!!

I think his hair looks just fine! Very good job! And the detail!! AHH!! If there is one thing I cannot do, it's drawing reflections in people's eyes! How do you do it!?!?!?

Excellent job. I would not have the patience to color that whole thing. I'd end up killing my pencils, then I'd start cussing in my head and then resort to sharpies and kill my sense of smell.

Since I don't see anything particularly negative about the composition, I guess I'll leave it at that! Bravo!

I agree with the pencils thing...only I killed my prismacolor markers to do this one. Oh well. It was well worth the effort.

As for how I did the eye reflection....I inked it with broken lines, then shaded everything but the sun's reflection a nice blue, making sure to darken the top and the very bottom of the iris. Then, I colored the sun yellow (hence the reason I didn't use blue - it would turn green.) and blended the sunset colors in over the blue. If I remember right, that's how I did it.

And that's why I have music playing constantly and take breaks when I need it. That way, I don't rush and I'm always distracted a little.

Nice Naruto piece! The shading's not bad at all, and somehow captures the moon's glow. [Looks at advance critique] I would suggest that you put this under photoshop and put a very slight layer of blue over it to give that eerie blue feel, as if the light was really from the moon.

But, hey! It stands beautifully as it is.

I did try to add some blue with photoshop, but it turned out quite dark so I just went with this. I think that perhaps I simply didn't use a light enough color blue.....thanks for everything!

Thanks! I like to (on occasion) go all out for a project or two. If I could find the time, I'd go all out for more.
