I like to do artwork about love. Mostly it shows up in a cute or silly way and sometimes in the lusty variety (which seems to be really popular...). This time though, I wanted to do the poignant type of love, the type that sort of eats at you until you put it down on paper or pixels.
So much of Naruto is about loss, particularly Naruto himself. Isolated and barely tolerated for most of his life, I liked the idea of him having the tender touch of family if only for a brief moment. So, before he seals Kyuubi inside his son and dies in exchange, Yondaime sings Naruto a quiet lullaby.
While I think Yondaime would have given his life for his village without a second thought, I think he died for love, for the love for his son and the hope that Naruto despite how hard his life will be, will live on.

ladybattousai (Reply)Total Posts: 173Sep 2, 2007 6:38 pmYeah, it came out pretty well. "Bedhead" hair is always hit and miss and in a picture like this, I'm glad it worked. --- I reject your reality and substitute it with my own |

ladybattousai (Reply)Total Posts: 173Nov 18, 2007 9:09 amThat always surprises me. Backgrounds can really make the picture and when people decide not to include them it makes it look really empty. I don't think they're all that hard, but they can be rather monotonous. --- I reject your reality and substitute it with my own |
