Konoha High -finished-

yay! After 8 grueling hours of coloring, i present you...

KONOHA HIGH!!! X3

I had insights on each character as I drew/colored them FROM SHEER MEMORY!!! X3...I'd list them here, starting from the bottom row, up, from the left...

Bottom row:

Chouji: Chouji was the last person I colored. Nothing much about him, but I really love the swirls on his cheek. teehee. X3

tenten: ten ten is really cute. I like her lots. X3 holding akamaru wasn't really part of the original idea, but oh well. lucky dog. X3

Akamaru: cute dog. but drawing him from memory is a pain at the ass... >.<

Kiba: wee!!! I really love kiba! I'd butcher the hood on his jacket...It ruins his total hawtness!! X3

Next row:

gaara: as usual, I do not know how to write "ai" in kanji, so I replaced it with a wee heart X3. Gaara's really really cute, and I butchered his height to show that he's the "protective little brother" between shikamaru and temari. X3

kankurou: where's kankurou? he's behind gaara. minus make-up and puppets. Erg..i dunno his real hair color, since the manga is in black and white, but i supposed it's something like that. X3

temari: after 16 pages of drawing temari in my doujin, I had to draw her on a younger state, since this is kinda set when the rookie nine (minus neji lee tenten) were 12 year old kids..heehee..you gotta love temari's "I'm stronger so you're under" attitude. Hurrah matriach society! X3

shikamaru: again, same as temari. I drew him on his 12 year old state. X3 heehee...notice that he's the only man (aside from Jiraiya's perverted blush) who's blushing? X3 heehee...shikatem!!! X3

ino: erg..i don't really like ino..but it's kinda fun to work her character out. X3 go swoon at sasuke, he's staring at somebody else. X3

sasuke: heehee...jealous sasuke. He's jealous that he's not the one teaching naru-chan. X3 I had fun with his pose, very-sasuke-ish. I disliked his hair. It's a pain in the ass coloriing your spiky hair with a mouse!!!!

naruto: yay! naru-chan was really fun to draw, but I had problems with him too...specially when I inked him. >.< but anyway, the book's all about math. X3

sakura: when I colored sakura's hair, It was so light i decided to go 2 shades darker. I had trouble with her pose, but it looks kinda fine now..so.. anyway. X3

neji: hoo, neji! I had lots of trouble with neji too. i ommited the sign on his forehead, because, yep, I'm lazy. X3 His Hyuuga-eyes are really fun to do, no to mention easy. X3

lee: LEE!! lee's eyes are really really fun to do! remnded me of elmo! X3 Plus, when I was thinkign of a pose that would fit lee, my hands were already drawing this. X3 LEE!!! FEAR TEH RECITATION!! X3

hinata: Hinata's face got a bit smaller than expected, but that's okay..I guess. X3 I really like hinata's pale Hyugga skin, and as metioned in neji's comment, her Hyuuga eyes are really fun to do. X3

shino: yeah...fear shino's angstiness! X3 I really like shino, my first impression on him was Auron (FFX). If not for his bug justu's....*shiver*

Top row:
Jiraiya: Oh yes. Konoha's resdident ero sennin. X3 Flashint he student handbook with sexy drawings. X3 Jiraiya's really really fun to do! Go, perverts of Konoha! X3

tsunade: tsunade's supposed to be the principal of Konoha high. X3 and yep, she's gonna ban Jiraiya-sensei from giving out copies of the student handbook with sexy drawings. X3

Asuma: gawd, I do not draw bearded men, but I had to force myself since Asuma's still one of the supporting characters I liked. X3

Kurenai: i think kurenai's one of the prettiest Kunoichi's in Naruto, and I find the asuma/kurenai paring cute, so I drew her looking at asuma. X3 If I were kurenai, I'd look at...

Kakashi: YEAH!!! kakashi's the first one I sketched, inked, and colored. X3 I forgot how to write "paradise" in katakana, so I replaced it with dots instead...oh well..I'm quite happy with kakashi-sensei! X3 He's...er..teaching icha-icha...I mean...Math...to students. X3

iruka: Omg, when i drew Iruka-sensei, he turned out to be uke-ish! O.O But I find iruka sensei really cute, and fatherly to naruto! X3 yeah!

gai: FEAR THE TEST PAPERS! X3 I was surprised at how dark gai's skin turned out, but it suited him anyway. X3 STUDENTS< LET US ANSWER THE TEST OF YOUTH! X3

overall, I enjoyed doing this piece. It turned out good, considering how I suck at cel shading. X3
