Description requested by
Itachi was revealed to have had a 'lover' in issue 401
This is my interpretation of her.
The idea is that Itachi is at the beach with his girlfriend and he's thinking of his future. His girlfriend can sense that something is troubling him.

update - ok, well I think I've finally finished this. I added an orange beach ball as well as lines in the sand. I wonder if people can spot the symbolism. People who were paying attention through all the various versions will notice that I've trimmed it down somewhat. I just didn't like the way I drew parts of Itachi's hands.

Pretty ^^ but... if his lover was an Uchiha... wouldn't that be like... gross? cause he's like... together with his family member?

yeah, that's what a lot of people are saying in the naruto forums. *shrug* Maybe kishimoto didn't think about that.. Otherwise, his lover was just someone with connections to the clan, that he was obligated to assassinate too. who knows?

I'm sure that's it xD Cause I didn't realize that until my friend totally flipped otu when I explained that to her xD

Somehow it now occurred to be that Itachi's neck looks a bit too thick. Maybe you can still try to finetune that a bit. And the face of him needs some shading still, too. Otherwise nice job!

Zaiburst In reply to stayka [2008-06-29 18:17:46 +0000 UTC]

You're right, thanks for that, I didn't spot that the neck was a little too thick on the top left part

MMissKKelly [2008-06-17 15:27:24 +0000 UTC]

its amazing!!!! I love the color of hair, and the bikini on her rocks. the little uchiha clan symbols are adoreable.

Zaiburst In reply to MMissKKelly [2008-06-17 16:00:42 +0000 UTC]

glad you like the color. I was going to go with brown for a while, but I think maybe this works better. Hm, I might still mess around with it a bit.. But yeah, it's still far from finished Glad you like the bikini too, they should make a real one with my design

The hair looks nice with the lights. What about maybe adding some more structure to it?

Zaiburst In reply to stayka [2008-06-17 11:09:50 +0000 UTC]

I think I know what you mean, like it's too flat and neat and tidy, right?.. although itachi's hair does appear to be pretty flat in the manga I'm not sure how I can add more structure to his, but I think I'll try some stuff with the base of hers. Thx

Well, if you like you can check how I did Hypnos' hair here - I linked some WiP shots in the description of the pic: [link]

Zaiburst In reply to stayka [2008-06-17 12:00:45 +0000 UTC]

ah yes I see. That's a good method for wavy hair. I don't think that will work for Itachi, but I'll definitely do something like that for the girl. Thanks again.

The background does indeed look very well! And yeah, I think red hair might be a nice contrasting colour for the pic. I'm looking forward to seeing it coloured!
