That is some kickass shadowing, I really like this. You make Gaara look 3 times as menacing as he normally would lol. Very Impressive ^_^

I love this. I am tempted to say you should do more of this and stop with the Manga stuff, but that wouldn't be proper...so I won't say it.
Interesting concept...from cartoon to real person.

I'm so watching you in anticipation of the other naruto characters and dark.

Anyway, I love the shading, especially around the eyes. This is very emotional. ^^

Betwixt him and Chrno... lol. I have to admit, though, the silver hair has an advantage.

don't bother watching it. i mean, it's a great show, but it just gets dragged on for too long. read the manga if you're interested in the storyline. much much better.

Awesome pic! I like the way you drew Garra in you r own style!

it does seem that the colors are a little dark, but the cross hatching! HOW are your lines parallel? it looks like in art books where they teach you how to cross hatch, it looks exactly like that. amazing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
paralle? uh...short stubbie line. that's what it is. if you constantly cross hatch everywhere (homework, test, desk, scrap papaer, wall....) like i do, you'd be better than me.

Wowwww. You and your damn cross-hatching!! Looks amazing, I especially love the eye

I'd love to see more of those!!!
It makes me want to join that project! *lol* But I am not as good as you at drawing realistic faces... ;__;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you're a very talented artist. it doesn't hurt to try
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'm with you! I really love how you've done this. The crosshatching type effect works really nicely with Gaara's look. He looks really great this way ^^

everything looked good until i colored the hair. i think it's the color balance that's bothering me. but thanks. glad you like it
