Kabuto Yakushi vs. Sasuke Uchiha
Round Two

Kabuto: I loathe you.
Sasuke: I loathe you more.
Kabuto: I loathed you first.
Sasuke: I'll loathe you longer.
Kabuto: Juvenile brat.
Sasuke: Four-eyed creep.
Kabuto: Deserter.
Sasuke: ...I don't want to hear that from you.
Kabuto: Cheh. Whatever.

Winner: Sasuke Uchiha

This is what happens when you take two sleep-deprived shinobi, chain them together, beat them up, lecture them for letting themselves get beat up, and leave them alone in a room together with orders to make up.

Can't you just feel the "warm fuzzies" now?

...I question your methods, Orochimaru-sama.

This is a bit of a sneak preview of where my fanfic is headed... xD It was very therapeutic to draw. Oh dear Jashin, I love torturing those two. They're just asking for it.

No, it isn't yaoi. I mean, you can interpret it how you like, but I had no intention of it being shounen-ai. I view them like bickering brothers. Kabuto's the older brother who wants to know why his baby bro' gets special treatment (not that kind of treatment, you pervs); Sasuke's the baby of the family, who does not appreciate his elder sibling's superior attitude. xD That's pretty much how I would sum up their relationship. Obviously things change with time, but it's how I picture them, at least in the beginning. ^^

About the picture: I reverted to messy cel-shading for this one. Since it's supposed to have a humorous feel, I didn't think it would soft cel-shading would suit quite as well. This style of shading and coloring adds to the cartoon-ish feel, I think. What do you think, am I right?

I'm pretty sure something about Sasuke's outfit is wrong. I didn't really use references... Also, I HATE SWORDS. >__<* RARGH! *killslay*

I really like this piece and your representation of Kabuto and Sasuke's relationship. I wrote a little one-shot/drabble fic based on this picture - I hope you don't mind. If you would like me to take it down, then just tell me!

Wow, I saw in my Watch List: 15. Sword ;; Crazyhighlander and was like "Oh! Maybe some non-Naruto art!"

But nope. Once again, it's Sasuke and Kabuto. xD Nice drawing an concept, tho'. ^^

Living in the past, eh? Sasuke is gone, Orochimaru is out of the picture, and Kabuto is in the past. In the manga, at least. lol

And I can see Orochimaru clapping his hands like a teacher going, "Alright, children. Back to training now!" in his sarcastic, but no-nonsense voice.

Sasuke looks very sleepy. He might get the same creases as Itachi if he keeps this up Your coloring is okay but you might want to clean up the lines a little more so it won't look so jagged after you added the colors.

crazyhighlander In reply to blumarine [2008-05-15 04:51:34 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha. xD Pretty much.

Right, I'll do that next time. I usually do clean the lines up way more than this, but it's so much more fun to keep it sketchy like that. And in this case I wanted to add to the doodle/cartoon feel. ^^ Still, it's something to keep in mind. :] Thanks for the advice! <3 (First critique I've gotten on this picture, lol. >.< The "Advanced Critique Encouraged" option clearly doesn't work.)

blumarine In reply to crazyhighlander [2008-05-15 10:59:57 +0000 UTC]

If you want to leave it sketchy, then your coloring should match the sketchiness. Means you use the same sketchy style when you color and that will create a cool doodle effect ^_^

Thank you! ^^ Haha, the score will even out after time. Kabuto's not at the top of his game when he didn't sleep all night due to an unwanted bed companion. He won the first battle, anyway, so I thought I'd give Sasuke a taste of that revenge he's always blathering on about... xD
Mm-hmm. He got fed up with their arguing and decided to force them to work together. *shrug*
