Description So there ya have it. My Naruto doujinshi, PAGE ONE. Featuring my fave kage and kunoichi.

I had a poll asking how I should do this doujinshi after I finished the lineart and the majority voted for clean lineart with text. Phew, thank you guys! That makes things a lot easier for me.

But I figured I should give it a try and do some backgrounds and a little bit of tones and a little bit of color for the first page. Here on out, it'll be more simplistic and clean in style. A sorta imitation to Kishimoto's style (or in the shonen manga style tradition).

Surprisingly, the background didn't take me much time. Probably a 2-3 hours spread out thinly through the past week at the most. What helped me tremendously is my Rurouni Kenshin manga. LOL...XD; I also used a little bit of Hikaru no Go manga as well. Gave me ideas for little details. I'm still not completely happy, but its a little cooler than before when I was just going to submit it plain.

Oh yeah, drawing Gaara's sand is a bitch. THAT took me a while to do.

Anyways, for anyone whose confused, visiting Kazekage Gaara just "materialized" himself into Naruto's apartment building. Going up the stairs, he spots someone in front of Naruto's apartment door.


I don't know when the next page will come out, since I'll be busy with my other projects, but for now...I hope you guys like. ^^ Enjoy!

It looks really cool, for some reason I love Gaara's lip in the top right, it just looks so erm pretty, I like the way you drew hinatas outfit too, most of the time I think it makes her look kind of balky, but the way you made it makes it look smooth and lovely. Yay for Gaahina, (or that what I think its about, if not feel free to bonk me on the head)! And the lines are so wonderful,so perfect!

Aww! thank you, they were kinda troublesome, and I'm still not too satisfied, but it made for an interesting experiment of sorts.

lol, yeah the sand was terrible. right now my biggest lament is that upper "strand" of sand. It was really cool, but then I had to add the lines from the background and it just ruined it. Kinda loses its focus. But it had looked nice...

Yes! I will try to churn out another page within a month. Right now I'm actually working to finish my colored works. I'm thinking if possible, I'll put out a comic page, then a colored page, and then a comic page again. I don't want my gallery to get full of too much b/w art. I like color.
