Description This is the only piece I've put in the time--or had the time--to finish while I've been on a break. Since he's an only child, I thought I could try something else with this. I thought the feel of this was definitely different from the Hyuuga and Uchiha ones . . . maybe good, maybe bad . . . Ah, I don't care because I love Shikamaru so much! This is how I imagine him . . . taking a break from sword practice to sneak a look at the clouds . . . His hakama, by the way, took forever because of all those little stripes . . . gah . . . almost died from it . . .

You're welcome!
wow I wish I could pose for myself, but I'm a little retarded so it always looks weird...

*drools creepily at the computer* You did so great with the colouring. It's so him! Sneaking away to be lazy. It's almost more effort than just not being lazy. *sigh* I know these things.

It IS so much like Shikamaru to do that, isn't it? Yeah, he puts so much effort into avoiding work that it's . . . work. Sadly, I know these things too . . . And thank you so much for liking the coloring! *wipes up your drool*

Hahaha. Its soooo hard to avoid doing things. I have to be invisible in my house just so I get wrangled into doing chores. Such a Shika thing to do.

The clouds aren't quite visible but I like it anyway. xD

Shikamaru looks so cool and it makes me want to sit and stare with him.

Crazy awesome.
Shika rocks. I never quite linked him to traditional clothing, but he looks surprisingly solemn in it
The patterns and strips look gorgeous.
And omg you're back!

I was going to put up his symbol, but because of his pose, I thought I might as well do something different . . . though he's still being lazy . . .
