Description Right o...still not satisfied with it. Drawing-wise, I think this is the weakest of all my drawing pieces. Coloring job is killing me right now. Again, I'm having trouble bringing background and foreground together. But I figured I should submit it now since I won't be able to submit anything for another week or so...(going back to work...) When I get back, I'll probably change the tone of color for their clothes. Dunno...

Hm, while I was coloring it, the kid's gender kept changing. lol, sometimes it looked girly sometimes it looked boyish. Coloring a child's face certainly is different. *sighs* Well, at least now I know how to do a child's face next time. God this kid's eyes are HUGE. XD;;

Well...ya'll can probably figure out whose mom it is. But I think it could pass off for anyone's kid. 'Takes after the father mostly...

In my head when I first sketched this, I am not sure what I was aiming for. I think I wanted to give Gaara a daughter, but upon completion, I saw that it could be a boy, which appealed to me somewhat. Gaara having a pretty boy son. I can see Temari being all over him and considering him her fave nephew (or only nephew since at this time I don't see Kankuro with kids...) XD

Anyhoo, I figured to draw that kid as a little tyke.

He's a little different in my doujin, his hair is short like Gaara's. But I had imagined him to be a sweetie very much like the way Gaara was as a little kid, (before he was betrayed I mean. ). Kinda shy, thoughtful, naive and a little scaredy-cat. The kind ya just wanna hug.

Wait, okay yeah, that's his description in my doujin. Before I thought up the doujin, he was a cheerful hyper little tyke. The reason Gaara's holding onto his legs is to stop him from kicking about excitedly. He's pretty much adorable. The way I think Gaara might've turned out if he had a normal childhood. O_o;

Not that we'll be seeing him anytime soon though. Oo; I doubt I'll get that far... Still, one can dream I guess.

I re-designed Gaara's kazekage clothes if anyone's wondering. I know what it really looks like, I just felt like playing around with it. Not too happy with it, but I did learn a few new things...XD; The kid's outfit is a mix of...Gaara's childhood outfit with...I dunno. The scarf just felt natural...Gray and navy blue seemed to suit him some. Took me a few moments to decide what to dress him. But I can see Temari dressing him in colors similar to Kazekage's clothes.

The EYES were the toughest to do. The background was a little annoying, but once i got it done, I didn't touch it much again. But I had to keep retouching and fixing the eyes and the skin color. Mostly because I wanted to do them as similar as possible to the anime. Not easy, considering everything had ended up looking realistic and well...pupil-less eyes are NOT.

Hope ya guys like for now! ^^

EditHere's an example of how much girlier the tyke had looked before, in case anyone's wondering. Before and After: Pride and Joy

Kazekage Gaara belongs to Kishimoto and anyone else who owns NARUTO.

the tyke is mine!

Oh wait, yeah, I forgot. Hinata's his mom. Deal with it!

EDIT: and In case you missed it, his name is Aiji.

Aww, the baby is so adorable! I'm sure you determine a gender sooner or later. If you want, I can help you with with names, I have a book of names and I know a good name website.

Also, if you wanted to, you could give Gaara both a son and a daughter. The son could look similar to Hinata and the daughter look similar to Gaara. Or the son could look like Gaara and the daughter look like Hinata. Or they could both look like Gaara. It's really up to you in the end.

jbramx2 In reply to JadeLiChen [2007-07-11 07:50:45 +0000 UTC]

Tee hee hee, thank you! ^o^ Took me a couple of tries, but I finally got his face down. Hey! I did say it was a boy. Believe me, when he gets older, he'll be a hottie. No one will doubt his gender, at least while he's hanging with the hyugas (they're all androgynous too!)

Ooh, thank you! I was talking about it in the Before and After pic. Maybe you can help me? My nickname for him right now is "Aiko", "lovechild". lol, which is a girly name, but hopefully, I'll find something else. Otherwise, Shin "heart" might have to do it for now...

Actually, I did. His son is most similar to him, and his daughter is most similar to Hinata, with just a few features switched here and there. But his daughter comes many years after this one is born. Doujin will explain why. I was thinking of a third child too, a year younger than the girl. This one a boy, just so I could have my own trio of Sand siblings too. But gaah, I seriously doubt I'll get that far in doing the doujin. ; Would be cool, but yeah, I'm horrible at finishing things. TT;

waah! but thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it! ^^

You're welcome. I'll send you the name suggestions through note, since I want want to fill the comments up with a bunch of names. And we'd be able to talk about the names this way and what not. However, do let me make at least one suggestion here.

You said you were thinking of "Aiko" as a possible name for him. Well, in my book, there is a boy's name similar to that name. The name is "Akio" and it means "intelligent boy/bright boy". So if you wanted to keep something similar to "Aiko", you could always use "Akio".

jbramx2 In reply to JadeLiChen [2007-07-13 08:50:57 +0000 UTC]

squee, thank you! Well, it's not so much the a-sound as much as it's the character "Ai" that I'd like in his name. It's the same kanji on Gaara's forehead. I thought it'd be fitting for his first son. ^^ And it would refer to Hinata's love for Gaara as well. ya know, that sorta romantic stuff.
