Naruto Chapter 367 Inspired Me...

So, don't laugh, but I totally wanted to try my hand at cleaning and colouring the cover for this week's latest Naruto Chapter. And then I wanted to get back in the iconing groove, so I whipped a couple icons to go with the chapter cover

Your colouring is really nice. I don't really like Naruto, but I felt I had to comment to let you know how nice it is! ♥ My first works were so, so ugly. xD

Thank you so much! That is sooo sweet of you! Haha, lol, it's nice to know that people aren't thinking these pieces are as laughable as I first thought they'd be - with you know being a first attempt and all - I was really quite worried! So thank you very very much for your kind words!!

*gasp* That's really awesome, especially for your first try. Also, the icons are lovely.

Thank you! *blushes* Thank you very much for your kind words!!

I absolutely love your shading and their skins colour/tones! The background is incredible!! Very creative! I would have never thought of that! How long did it take you to do this? I'm learning how to colour the manga myself and it takes up a lot of hours just colouring a simple panel for me. That cover you did must have taken you hours to do!

I hope you don't mind I took #4 and #6 and also the cover! It's just way too good to not take! Will credit when use! Thanks for sharing!

Omigosh! *blushes x 123213215456548* You are too sweet really! I was really worried I'd screwed up the shading really badly, ie. not enough, too light, bad colouring, not blending well enough. So thank you for reassuring me that I didn't do too badly a job with this attempt. ^____^

Haha, I remember a panel with Itachi and his ravens and I'd really enjoyed it so I thought I'd incorporate somehow, and likewise I'd thought it would be nice if I could include something similar for Sasu-pants - so voila! Haha, I won't lie, it took me a better part of a day to clean the entire thing and complete the colouring and shading... I was getting pretty frustrated by the end cause the hair wasn't coming quite like I'd wanted it to... so hence, the uh, lack of detailing in that aspect.

On the contrary! I'm *quite* honoured you like the icons and manga panel enough to want to use them. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! ^_____^ ♥

I absolutely love the coloring on the skin. I seriously wish I could color like that.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it, I thought I'd done such a poor job after looking back at it really, so thank you - I really appreciate it!! ^____^
