Shirt Vs Skins

Artists

Artist's Comments

This is my entry for Naruto's August Fanart Contest. The theme is "Naruto character(s) training hard on a hot, summer day". I got the idea while I was out walking past a park a few days ago. There was a "shirts vs skins" soccer game going on and I thought what the hell, ninjas might do the same.

I figured out what to do with Naruto and Sasuke right off the bat, but poor Kakashi only has so many arms... and just fyi, Sakura is wearing a sports bra

Very nicely done it just that Sakura seems a little small compared to the others and her position does raise an eyebrow. But other than that a very nice piece of work [emoticon] .

Her shoulder width was a bit of a compromise on how wide I wanted to spread Kakashi's legs. I figured she's gonna have narrower shoulders compared to the others anyway, so she came out a bit smaller. Her position, well... I'm not defending that, because it's just a silly picture [emoticon]

[emoticon] It looks like Sasuke is the only one getting anywhere and he's still not doing a very good job of it. Sakura's position did make me do a double take but then I realised that it is a normally occuring position when you consider they are training and strange positions do happen then. Some positions you would never do otherwise will and usually do pop up while training or playing, it just happens that way. I love how Kakashi is overpowering them and making it look like he's not even trying! That made me giggle.

Thank you for understanding the mechanics of wrestling. Over on dA, a few people just don't get it, but hey, people see what they want to. Well, even if by some miracle the little ninjas swarming him get the upper hand, Kakashi can always replace himself with a tree log, his favorite move...

They must not have been around any kids when they were playing, or they would have seen some really weird positions and know for a fact that the kids didn't mean a thing by it. [emoticon] Oh great now I've got an animation of one second he's there like this and the next there's log and the kids' eyes get huge because it's one second away from them all hitting the ground hard!

Sometimes I wish I did follow up artwork or comics just for the ideas that come afterwards... but nah, I'm lazy and have picture ADD.

Maybe if Kakushi was sitting on Sakura and had Naruto caught between his legs choking. It would n't change them a whole lot and adds to the whole laid-back, uncaring look.

But still this is just an idea and your is till better than anything i could do [emoticon] .

Hehe, I'd hate to be Sakura at the moment XD Seriously, this is much better than what I could do. I have such a hard time with poses, but I really likes Saskue's. And Naruto's expression...Priceless ^^ And of course the little orange book XD

I'm still working on poses myself. I'd say it's the hardest thing for me. Sasuke here is probably one of the most dynamic ones I've done and I'm really proud with how it came out.

I love drawing Naruto's face... he is just so adorable and hilarious.

Over on dA, most every girl that leaves a comment wants to be Sakura. Yeah, the view is nice, but being stuck in a vice is never good times.

I think the little orange book is the icing on the whole cake. I hope it does well in the contest.
