Description ...another day. All the world is waiting for the sun...

Woot! I finally finished it! Took long enough alright. X3 (like oh, several months...) Mostly cuz I couldn't decide on the coloring for clothes or the theme. But thanks to Summoner Lenne's tip, I finish coloring it.

Here's how it looked when I got stuck and wanted to submit it already Cool Version



YES! Tis Kazekage Gaara and Chunin Hinata, But don't hang me just yet! Humor me for the moment. Tell me they would not make interesting friends? Ever since I read the ShikaIno fanfic, Worth the Trouble by Prime Minister. I fancied these two if not as a couple than as a good pair of friends. Mostly cuz Gaara respects Naruto and in turn would respect Hinata who admires Naruto the most. AM I making sense here?

Anyone read that fanfic? I just giggled in delight when in chapter "In the Fray", Gaara threatened Shikamaru to let go of "Naruto's Woman." Shika's like, "I'm HER FRIEND, I'm protecting her (from you)." ANd Gaara's like, "Bah," *Sand coming to life* Until Hinata finally speaks up and is like, "No, no! It's true! He's my friend!" and Gaara chills out and checks on HInata to make sure she wasn't hurt in the last battle while mumbling, "I won't let anyone hurt Naruto's friends." And then when Hinata pats his hand saying she's okay, he gives a small smile. *squee!*

kk, that's an old fanfic, actually, (really good one) but still it planted a seed in my head so when I came across a Gaahina fanfic, woot! it flourished into this. Yay for crackpairings! JB loves her crackpairings. Bad for you but addicting.

History and story behind the pic and its title is mentioned in the lineart


The title is from the song "Rain" by Breaking Benjamin. Very pretty soft song, didn't know it was them when I heard it. Thought it fit this pair.

Enjoy!

EDIT: I had to lighten it since photoshop is doing that weird thing again where it doesn't show me how super dark the pic actually is. The thumbnail makes this look really light, but the full view shows the colors the way I want them to look. (still a bit bolder than what I envisioned, but much better than it was before where the colors just BLED)

I think this pic had the most layers ever of all the pics I've colored. The last deviation I did taught me a lot about different coloring techniques on photoshop so I used them here with some color (instead of lighting). I'm not satisfied with the misty look it has. Mostly because I had to sacrifice one or two things in it and tried compromising but in the end, I'm not to sure I like her hair. LOL, the color looked better before i did the luminosity technique.

Beautiful picture. I love Gaara's nose and chin, of all the things in this picture XD They're both really well drawn. It took me a moment to realize it was Hinata, but I really like how you drew her. Great job.

And you keep doing what your doing. Because its great. I too don't like drawing Hinata the way Kishimoto has her drawn. Especially her clothing. It covers up too much.

jbramx2 In reply to naruhina74 [2007-08-12 08:33:01 +0000 UTC]

I use photoshop which allows me to color in layers that have different effects on each color. For color choice, I use deep colors for shadows such as blues, purples, pinks, and reds where one wouldn't think to put them (instead of using grays or a darker color of the main color...that gets boring after a while). I'll use one soft layer of red or blue (or both) to cover the figures and that'll match everything up or smooth it out. When I'm done coloring, I'll flatten the layers and duplicate the final result. The duplicate layer I then use Gaussian Blur to make it sorta blurry, and depending on how blurry I'll make it, it'll give the figures a misty/glowy effect. Makes it all look pretty. ^^

It really depends on the picture and theme you want to go with. I do a lot of experimentation with my pictures. Sometimes I forget how I got a certain effect because I end up taking so many steps in my experimenting. If you have photoshop, have fun with it. Try to learn how to use layers, and check out tutorials around the internet or deviantart. Good luck!

eep! I'm sorry I took so long to respond. Well, I got mine when I bought my canon scanner. Some folks get it with digital cameras or other photo-type equipment. One can also just buy the program for $100-300, depending on how old the version is.

Or you can ask a friend who has the full version and let you install it, but not register it. Which is what I did. My friend can get updates and such, but I can't. Still my old version is still pretty good and gets the job done. ^^

Hey, no problem. If you got any more questions, feel free to let me know. I'll try to help as best as I can. I'm just so spacey and busy, it may take a while to get back to you, but I'll try for sure.

Make it by camera? You mean like...take a picture of it, as opposed to scanning it? What do you mean?

Make it nice...well define "nice" What do you think makes my stuff look nice? lol, that's okay. I'm sorry its taken me so long too. My school just started and I'm already busy with it.
