Description Nope. I get nothing from them .

This is what it's actually supposed to look like IRL.


A note: Yes, I did hand draw this before I inked it digitally, with the full intent of trying to match style as closely as possible (something I only now do by request, since people tend to assume you trace if you do too well at style matching). All the digital art I do starts the same way my traditional art does - pencil and paper. You are INVITED to watch me work on my livestream and at conventions or meetups. I am not shy about my sketchbook at all and will generally let you flip through it if your hands are clean.

If you want an icon/avatar from either of their faces, or if you want to use the costumes in a fanfic or cosplay, just ASK ME FIRST, out of respect to me. If you save a copy, DO NOT EDIT OR REPOST it elsewhere, I will find out. If you cosplay these costumes, I want to see pictures, so hook me up with links!
And if you don't like the pairing, keep it to yourself!

On to the art notes...

A most bastardly amount of paths, griping, eyestrain, caffiene, insomnia, hand cramps and research went into making what would otherwise just be a "here's a new costume - what colors am I using?" sheet.

Yes, I referenced their poses. I wanted to make sure their heights stayed in proportion to each other and used references that were sized similarly and approximated the same rough proportions as I suspect they would have as adults (and the boobs of a woman who has had a kid, in Sakura's case).

In both costumes, I wanted to change them into something more mature, while keeping elements of both Naruto and Sakura's original and Shippuden costumes. Additionally, I like to think that their respective sensei's have some influence on their personalities and general affect, since that appears to be where the series is heading at times.

Sakura's costume: I'm not 100% satisfied with the upper part. It's missing something on the front and I think it needs some sort of decoration. Maybe I'll add black flames on both sides of the v-neck. What I drew her in in the "Inner Hana" drawing is mostly what I was running on here, except not chibi. The white circles on her overskirt balance out the white cloth underneath, which I wasn't sure I wanted originally, but after twenty attempts to get her damn knee and thighs right I said "the white cloth thing is back in." The belt is deliberately not centered and tapering to accenuate her waist. I like Kabuto's gloves, so she ended up with one of those style gloves.

Naruto's costume (and his hair): His hair is a slightly shorter version of Yondaime's. I just tend to draw Naruto that way anyway: older and with longer hair. The Pimp - er, Hokage cape combines elements of Jiraiya's flame edged, trimmed genin costume with the Fourth's cape (I'm beginning to think Jiraiya was behind the Fourth's cape - yay for presents!), namely the flame patterning on the edges and sleeves, the continuous maroon trim and the addition of "Rokudaime Hokage" on the back (which was a BITCH AND A HALF to do with paths). Why the off white pants? Because regular white and cream would have looked crappy. Also, at this point, it was too dark on his half of the image with the flames on the cape and the dark blue lining. His jacket is a plain black jacket, similiar to the one he's wearing in Shippuden, only sans orange. Ah, the green "seal" rope on his arm with the tag tied on it serves a function in battle and he doesn't have to wear it all the time. I made his black headband ties a bit longer than before.

Now, as to why I put it on the cheesy scroll background and set it up to resemble some sort of missive - EYESTRAIN. THE WHITE BACKGROUND WAS MAKING MY EYES BLEED. Also, I have always wanted to write "Armed and Dangerous" next to them, lol.

I need a fricking TABLET.

EDIT: fixed a minor grammatical error that was annoying me and several shading/misc errors. So troublesome, you are Mr. Naruto, 6th Hokage.
EDIT2: Fixed some more minor shading things and made Sakura's shading a little more contrasty for printing. You won't even notice, probably.

OMGWTFBBQAOLSAUCE!!! 200+ favs? Thank you all so very much! I had a very stressful trip home, so the positive response has been very much appreciated!!!

Yes. It says Rokudaime Hokage.

Nan or shichi is probably the next one.

These i believe should be the outfits. Sukura is a lot sexier and naruto a lot cooler. They look, both, so mature. A job well done. to top it off, for naruto that is, the costume depicts him as the "orange hokage" sa wht he told his mom. Try to get in touch with Masashi Kishimoto, he might like them. Though i think he as some good ideas up his sleeve. Oh, i was hoping to see naruto and Hinnata. Apart from everything this is great artistic and graphical work. lates.

Sample.

Hello. I noticed int he description that you would allow people to use these costume designs in a fanfiction.
Would it be alright if I used them? I've just fallen in love with these outfits (not to mention I'm a big fan of the couple). Of course I will credit it to you. Please let me know as soon as you can. Thank you.

Um, I'm pretty sure Naruto would look more like the 4th as he got older. Sakura isn't related to Tsunade.

TwinEnigma In reply to Raffyjack [2011-06-02 05:46:27 +0000 UTC]

Well, when I started trying to learn Kishimoto's style, I learned he only draws a few basic face shapes.

Hence one of several reasons I've tried to move the fuck away from his style.
