a primer on filler science, case study: narutonthcoincidentOctober 18 2010, 21:41:57 UTC
/deep breath
Sometime in whenever the hell the first series happened, the anime chewed through its source material so quickly that it was forced to default to the infamous ~100 episodes of filler just to fill up its broadcast slot. It killed viewership so much that now the anime people are terrified of even the remotest possibility that they might get too far ahead of the manga (OR GOD FORBID, KISHI PULLS A CLAMP X/1999!) that they're inserting fillers after each arc rather than mainlining through the canon and having to go 385923852 arcs of filler while waiting for the anime to catch up.

in other news, YOU'RE ALIVEEEEE! And since you offered...I totally want to see all your school drawings NAO. My vote is so for the film noir.

Thank you! lolz i'm glad someone actually answered the question. xD Oh naruto anime, how you disappoint me. Also, in related news, the tsukikage vs. kabuchimaru & deidara? you have got to be kidding me, the kage's gonna get kiiiiilllllled :O
Okay, you asked for it... :/ bear in mind neither of these are "finished" per say, (about 90% done tho) they both have shadow issues that i'll be taking care of shortly/various other issues, but yeah: portrait of a cephalopod, full shot. and this is something i banged out quick, cause uh, i wanted to draw my friend morphing into a firebird :D and to prove i could do something "simple." firebird, full. firebird, closeup.

Personally I don't even know why they bother with filler. If I were them, I would pull backstory out of my ass; I wouldn't mind watching ten or fifteen episodes of meaningless baby Ita/Shi fluff...
I KNOW. THAT CHAPTER WAS STUPID ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT IT INTIMATES THE RETURN OF ITACHI WHO WILL BE PISSED AT SASUKE. ALSO MADARA IS GROWING A HASHIRAMA TUMOR ON HIS BEDROOM WALL.
...I have nothing to say about how amazing that cephalopod picture is. How do you compose those drawings?! They're always so intricate wahhhhh Love the expression on the second one. You win, you proved it :D

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING- if they retain part of their original personality, we might actually get to see Itachi laying down the smackdown to his wayward brother, how awesome would that be? I would laugh forever XD
thanks :D i am known about my art department for stupidly detailed, torturously composed pieces ._. they take at least a month because yes, the composition takes tons of planning and masking fluid and hoping you don't muck up the color balance, because unlike in oil painting, there is no painting over in watercolor, no going back, if you fuck up a section that's it. XD WHOO.

Jumping in here without permission again. Can I say WHOA? THOSE PIECES ARE INCREDIBLE. asldkjf;aksldjf I must commission you to draw something for me one day. Still can't stop staring at the cephalopod picture, and um, I have a thing for phoenix-like birds, entirely Harry Potter's fault.

Why thank you. Hahahaha, a professor actually commissioned me recently, and i had no idea what to charge, so I ran around pricing watercolors, apparently art is super expensive, and i had no idea how much stuff is actually worth. XD
