Okay for this I COMPLETELY AND ENTIRELY blame
roko_epsilon and her phenomenally cute chibi Akatsuki kitties.
Except that .. okay, yeah, I do do cute. But when faced with something like that I tend to feel I have no choice but to make them faintly creepy.
(
so I drew Sasori, Hidan and Kakuzu AS CATS )
Also there's a .. normal, human Deidara in there. :U BUT WHO KNOWS HE MAY BE NEXT.
