Description This is my entry for the 's Spring Break Contest!

For spring break this year, Pein took the Akatsuki to Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia; apparently he wanted an educational trip. They took this group shot in front of the Capitol building - a favorite spot for tourist photos - after they took the tour.

Yes, they all have tricorn hats - Pein got them as mementos of their trip. (Kakuzu was not happy about the expense! )

Tobi chose to wear the stuffed cat he got, rather than his hat, because the cat fits comfortably on his head and, according to him, "Obadiah likes to have his picture taken!" (I have an "Obadiah" and I'd agree with Tobi on both counts. )

Deidara was NOT happy that Pein wouldn't let them spend a day at Busch Gardens (which is nearby), but he did enjoy the musket firing demonstration because "they're loud, un!"

Zetsu liked the herb gardens; Sasori enjoyed The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum; Hidan thought the Bruton Parish churchyard was rather interesting; Kisame loved the food at Christiana Campbell's Tavern; Konan thought the costumes were beautiful; Pein was unexpectedly fascinated by the archaeology dig. Itachi said "hn," which I have decided meant that he had a good enough time. So overall, everybody enjoyed their trip!

On a personal note, this is the first time I've ever tried drawing a pic with more than two people! Proportions are kinda iffy in places - constructive criticism is always appreciated! This is also the first time I've ever drawn Kakuzu, Hidan, Pein, Konan and Tobi, and only the second time I've drawn Itachi (at least I didn't give him chipmunk cheeks this time ). It was fun - I need more practice!

By the way, I have no idea why Kakuzu is wearing an "Ireland" t-shirt - or where he'd even get such a thing. I will point out that Deidara's sneakers have flames on them (they show up better in person)!

As always, all those Akatsuki peeps belong to Masashi Kishimoto. (But they're still an awful lot of fun to play with! )

When you put Hidan's hand around Pein it looks like it just cuts off there. But this pic is awesome!!!!!!!!

Thank you so very much! ^^ Heh, I rather thought that their typical Akatsuki outfits might be a bit much in a tourist place, plus I just have fun sticking manga characters in stuff other than their regular clothing! X3

Oh my, thank you so, so much for the fantastic comment! I really appreciate it! I'm especially glad you like the poses - I was trying to figure out how they might pose given their personalities (heh, sort of); and yeah, the background was a lot of work, but it was fun too! I had a really great time making this pic, so it just makes me all kinds of happy to know that other people like it too! Thank you again!

Really? That is serious talent - I don't know anyone who can do that! (Well, I guess I kinda do now! XD) And no longer stuck with just the 4 letter words, huh? *only knows four letter words and can't cuss to save her life anyway - ish very sad!* XD (Heh, looking like him is pretty awesome too - do you ever cosplay, or is that not really your thing?^^)

objoyful In reply to Rockets101 [2008-05-21 03:18:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, 'bout cons! And seriously? I kinda had this idea that there might be catty and cruel people, especially if one was cosplaying, but not with a group (and I would absolutely HAVE to cosplay, heh) - guess I've hung out around too many reenactor types, heh. Of course, I suppose in any group of people there are gonna be some who aren't so nice, but if overall it were really like that - that just sounds like so much fun! XD

Seriously? That's awesome!

Heh, I went to see the live action Death Note movie last night, and while I don't think anyone was randomly hugging people, everybody just seemed really friendly - it was a fun atmosphere - maybe cons are like that, only more so. ^^

This is so awesome. I feel bad for Sasori- he's so short! ;-; Tobi is hilarious. I LOVE his "hat".
All in all, great job! It's so unique. Where else are you going to find a photograph of Akatsuki in Virginia? XD

Yays, thank you so much for the awesome comment! Yah, poor Sasori is short, but he doesn't seem to bothered by it. I'm glad you like Tobi's "hat" - walking around with a stuffed cat on his head somehow seems like something Tobi would do! X3
