Some ORIGINAL STUFF in here with the fanart and all :0
1. DEIDARA OEKAKI
Halfway through this, the eraser stopped working :C Stupid oekaki
2. ITACHI HATES EVERYONE
I desperately want to make a Flash animation to the song I Hate Everyone, but my Flash persists in not working :\
3. TWO MEMBERS OF THE FIREGUARD
These are Henrietta and Oliver, two inconsequential background characters in the phoenix comic thing I keep meaning to start scripting ... they're soldiers of the Fireguard, the high guard of the Phoenix Council. They're in love, or will be at some point, and have no relevance to any plot at all.
4. PHOENIX!DEIDARA & DRAGON!SASORI
Crossover stuff with MY OWN SHIT. Oh, you all knew it was coming.
Partially I just wanted to work out what to do with legs, because I ran out of space on the page I drew Henrietta and Oliver on. AND I LIKE DRAWING DEIDARA. And CLEARLY he needs feathers. 8D'
(Normal phoenixes' feathers ARE shades of orange and red and yellow. There are two kinds, though, and Deidara's evil, so his are blue. KINDA CONVENIENT, THAT! but the normal shades of blue are like ... less bright, and nearer purple.)
If I do something with Deidara like that, I can't help but think, "so Sasori would be ..." >_> So he's a dragon who's magically/biologically modified the squishy human body he's currently imprisoned in to be more like what he's used to. And, you know, more long-life. The scars on his shoulders are where he tried to grow wings, but only managed some stumpy little useless things that he ended up amputating.
Dragons have been physically extinct for thousands of years, but when they were wiped out it was easier to use magic to banish their spirits into objects and sometimes people (that way they'd die when the person did) than to actually stick them with something that would kill an intelligent, sadistic flying lizard the size of a house that breathes fire and/or poison gas and is hell bent on you not killing it. Sasori is incredibly fortunate in terms of human-possession because by some miraculous stroke of luck, not only was the first body he was imprisoned in a woman who went on to have a child that he could move into, thus not dying when she died .... the child was a girl who grew up to have children as well, and so was every subsequent child. For centuries. Eventually he ended up in a boy and decided to act fast, gain control before the boy died, and make the body his. And immortal. And spiky.
He is a crotchety bastard for various reasons, including but not limited to having spent the last few centuries having to live in women.
He compulsively hoards shiny but useless objects in his basement.
