Naruto - Redrawn Scene

Description

I accidentally got sucked into my loneliness again today and so I went to see this scene from Naruto and...
OMG I FORGOT HOW AMAZING THIS SHOW IS, I JUST..IT... I CAN'T... Danisnotonfire: FEELS IT HITS YOU RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE. 

Not only that, but the art is amazing and this one scene is just BEAUTIFUL. I didn't give it justice at all. During this scene, Naruto is looking straight at his enemy and admitting that he knows how he feels, and you know, anyone could SAY that. When you're mortal enemy is saying that and you two JUST threw down and tried to KILL each other, it's hard to believe those words. But then he looks up and it's like you can READ how serious and honest he's being from his face, it's there in his eyes. It's just animation, just a drawing, but you look into his eyes and know that he MEANS what he's saying- there's soul there, memories there, and he's remembering something bitter-sweet. Fans of course will already know Naruto's story, but if we were someone who had no idea what Naruto's life was like, such as Gaara in this scene, you would be able to look into his eyes...and know he's expressing something personal and telling. 

:no: sorry it won't make sense unless you've seen the show.

This drawing is kind of everywhere. I was just randomly sketching in the Naruto-style and to be honest, this wasn't even Naruto until much later (I was just sketching a random OC character at first.) I then decided to casually draw that beautiful scene, and then later on I got serious about it and started shading and adding gradients and text. I love how it turned out, but I admit I used too much black gradient.. I was trying to make it dark to match the mood I was going for, but I overdid it- it looks like this is taking place at night when it's mid-day :stare: At least I DID get the mood right (it's actually a bit TOO depressing now though.) Anyway, this was a pain to draw and yet a lot of fun :D 

For those interested, this is directly after Naruto and Gaara have their final fight in episode 80. You can find that here: youtu.be/Wtzd6xrHFzg?t=6m5s

I never did get into Naruto, but I can still see exactly what you mean about that look in someone's eyes, even when it's just an drawing or animation.  I've gotten more invested, worked up, and choked up over animated characters and their problems way more than live action movies or shows.  It's one reason I've always loved it so much and want to do that someday-- animation can be SO powerful and moving when it wants to be.  I think you did a great job capturing that here :heart:
Damn, I'm sorry you got sucked into that lonely pit again -_-  I'm really not around enough, just on weekends, and even then I can't get to commenting until way later than I should, and by then it's too late.  And with you and Fox especially I want all my comments to be thoughtful, not just some cursory remark, because you always put so much emotion and time and so much of yourselves into your work, so it takes me extra long to think of something meaningful to say.  I just thank you guys for being so understanding with me ^^  Next quarter's going to be even worse cuz I have 4 classes then -_-  I just hope you'll keep putting up with me ^^;
