Grab-bag of randomness~

-Current Naruto arc: Well, it was coming! The "Naruto is Yondaime Bis + Toad Sage." It's only been foreshadowed since the start. Now there's only the Kyuubi godmode to add to the list. I find myself reading more by habit and curiosity to see how it ends than because it delights me like it used to; Naruto and his yearmates were more loveable when they were kids struggling to make sense of this cruel word than now that they're used to it and kishi spends less time on the characters and more on the events. At the same time it's still somewhat nice as long as I don't think too hard about Tsunade and Sakura both getting to do one token thing before being saved by big macho-man hero Naruto. i knew it was a boy manga but damn, but auuuugh team seven reunionnnnnnnn. Also, Hyuuga thinnnngs. I want. Damn you kishi.

Pain bores the hell out of me. But then again Madara isn't much better despite his crueler mindset (better than bland "oh, I'm a god, that's why."); the fact that he's STILL butthurt about how Konoha didn't loev and respect him some dozen centuries ago is countering the funny Tobiness and the devious cruelty. The only villain i still appreciate the villainy of, atm, is Danzou... but then again so far he's been mostly bastardly from the shadows; maybe he'll be lame when he takes center stage. T__T

-Well. Crunchyroll doesn't allow me to view naruto episodes online either. I'm kinda fucked. Anyone know another Naruto sub group that will continue distributing it?

HOW MANY ICONS DO YOU HAVE: 103
OUT OF HOW MANY AVAILABLE ICONS SPACES: 123
IF YOU COULD BUY SPACE FOR MORE, WOULD YOU: OH HELL YES.
DO YOUR ICONS MAKE A STATEMENT: Some of them. Others are just cute.

WHAT SHIP DO YOU HAVE THE MOST ICONS OF: TEAM SEVEN OT33333.

ANIMATED ICONS ARE: shinyyyy i want to learn how to make them T^T you can fit so much more text like that! mmm funny icons.






This started as a random uninspired sketch and... pretty much stayed a random uninspired sketch. Except I was hit by the LETS FIDDLE WITH THE COLORS UNTIL MY EYES BURN car. At some point the picture was hot pink with deep blue lineart. At some other it was green and orange. Yes really, aren't you glad I changed the color scheme to red and gold.

Then I was hit by the O HAI SPLATTER-PATTERNED BRUSHES truck, and the burn-and-dodge-until-it-shines bus, and... Well. here we are, and I can't even tell what color it really is in the end because I've stared at it too long and now everything looks weird.

I kinda love it. Mm, messy linearts.


I hate perspective btw.




Note to self: PRACTICE DRAWING SHOES. The green one would be awesome if that heel was done right, but it's just a mess. DX


I'm in the process of making an illustration for my Bleach fic "The Closet" -- but it's taking SO LONG and I'm impatient, so I took out part of the lineart and cell-shaded it.
