For now, I don't to touch this again for a long time.The last version was horrendous! I can't believe how many of you guys still liked it though... Well, hope you like the new version too

I like it. It's very good.
I feel Shikamaru's hair color is a little to light, but it's very good anyways.
Good job!

Not really - but I don't want to meet them because I think they're bad actors/voice actors, but because I'm not interested. It'd be cool to meet them, but I wouldn't actively seek them out or anything; too much effort

You did well on this, too!
I think you should work on blending, though. Shadows are usually softer-looking on skin and there is not such a big difference between the shades. (I hope I was civil enough)

Thaaanks~~! I'm glad you like it! I have to fix Temari, but I think it came out ok. Shading in PS is hard. I salute those artists who do it flawlessly. Thanks again

I so LOVE how you rendred the sea -- with the waves, the caps and the foam. So relaxing! I also like how the clouds are so light...
I like how you shaded the skin on Shikamaru. On Temari, however, seems a little off -- the shading on her body and face doesn't seem consistent. I also suggest stronger shadows on the parts where their bodies overlap. Also consider the light source.

Thanks! I got reference from an awesome source, so the credit can't really be placed on me, but I least I did a decent job rendering it
The shading. That was a nightmare. I tried to do the same coloured shading on Temari as I did on Shikamaru, but she ended up looking sunburnt so I tried a more natural brown look. I'm still kinda new on the anatomy of bodies, so her body shading is far from perfect (hence why there isn't really any shading). And my light source kept switching 
And I had a feeling someone would point out their different skin tones. My theory is that since Temari lives (lived...? in the case of this pic) in the Sand village, where it's uber bright in the day, she's darker whereas Shikmaru lives in the Leaf village, where the sunshine isn't as severe. Hence why he is lighter. But that's just my theory
Thanks for the constructive criticism! It really helped - I'll try to keep the things you suggested in mind for the next time I colour something
