Naruto: Picture XD

Another lame-ass title. Shit, I think I'm losing my touch~~

Anyway, this is one of my rushed deviations done out of necessity -- to be used as a promotional poster for our organization, -- Anime and Manga Enthusiasts -- to bring in new applicants for the new schoolyear. IKE IKE AME~~

As to why these characters are in this pictures, I have yet to know..
NARUTO -- he had to be there. He's the main character, after all...
KONOHAMARU -- just wanted to draw someone small in the pic other than me.. Hehe..
SHIKAMARU -- One of my fave characters... Or my hand is possessed.. (I'm not that aware that time when I was drawing)
ROCK LEE -- HE HAS TO BE THERE! HE'S MY FAVORITE CHARACTER!! Plus, a Naruto picture is not complete without him
HINATA -- She needs more publicity.. I often see the same old characters drawn over and over.. I guess it's Hinata's turn at the spotlight..
PAKKUN -- I couldn't draw Akamaru properly... so I drew him instead.
IRUKA -- a mystery again

I drew this in the middle of the night in a fit of madness since it has to be done by the following morning. There was the uber-rushed version (Which needs not to be posted)... This, on the other hand, was just as rushed ( you ought to check out Naruto's eyes, as well as Hinata's.. I didn't bother adding shadows and highlights ), but is quite decent, if not horrible...

Done this in Photoshop 7.0 in 2-3 hours (I'm really slow >__<. Dodge and Burn, Polygonal Lasso, a stock BG (that's the sky behind them) are my tools of the trade for this one. Multi-layer cramming is the best

ENJOY!
