More than even a stripper, Itachi was meant to be a fishfolk. A mermaid stripper? He was born to sing each to each, to be wreathed in seaweed red and brown - and to tear at the fleshy white throats of drowned princes with those sexy talons. Mmm, love the texture of his skin. So creepy ♥

If Madara were a woman, I think I might actually like him more. What is this double standard?

mermaid stripper, yes. how would you even DO that? Or maybe he's one of the mermaid-dressed bartenders in Splash.

♥ it still needs... aid but what can you do, it had been too long, i was like SELF, FINISH IT. OR GET IT SOMEWHERE NEAR FINISHED. in my defense, well, i don't really have a defense other than struggling with this endlessly for no good reason :/ it might be that i started disliking the lineart partway thru CG-ing it augh x_X; /flailing & excuses orz

all the best mermaid stories i ever read/saw they were pretty evil, actually. they might rescue sailors every once and awhile, but mostly they murdered/drowned them. :D

..if Madara were female, that would mean we'd actually have a female character in naruto worth her salt and capable of plotting, meaning i would probably like her too. She'd probably be one of my favorite characters o_O what does it say about me that i really tend to like evil characters??

i have a gift for the community of bitter_nakano exchange that i dreamed up from the depths of my dorkitude, but uh. it's ( ... )

Lol Merman!Itachi.

The mixing of the cell shading and the textures came out really nicely on the Madara pic. ♥

As far as PS goes, I found the you suck at photoshop series extremely helpful in just understanding the different tools on photoshop, all while being entertained by the degeneration of the narrator's job/marriage/social life. Masks are also the best thing EVER, because you can erase without having to erase.

Does Itachi have webbed fingers? That's incredible. He really is meant to be a mermaid, ngl.

Madara looks really hot in that picture too. GUH, his fan. I don't know why my mind works in such disturbing ways, but the fan is really sexy in my opinion. I KNOW, IT'S RIDICULOUS. I should go dunk my head in a bowl of water and let myself drown.

NO NO I THINK IT'S SEXY TOO
not that that's in any way reassuring to sanity, BUT THE FAN IS DEFINITELY SEXY.

YAYYY 8D

I really want to know how he uses it in battle (and perhaps other stuff too but ignore the latter). I mean, does he just wave it around and smack people on the head? Because I really doubt Madara would let himself be so uncool.

Awww you guys. I'm flattered you think the.... fan is sexy XD

myself, i was enchanted by the idea of Madara running around with a totally useless weapon... i am conveniently ignoring the fact that he does indeed possess swords and a scythe.

..what, might i ask, would you use a fan for in regards to "other stuff"? XD

I am at a hotel with a deplorably slow connection, so I am like, watchimg Maddie emerge PIXEL BY PIXEL. Understand my demented enthusiasm. It's like he's PERFORMING for me, performing a sort of okay you know what, I'm not even going to say anything BUT YOU GET THE POINT.

THERE WE GO, HE'S THEREEEEEE AWWWW I LOVE HIM FOREVER. I adore his expression, which is all "bitch, I'm too sexy for a legitimate weapon" and his HAIR, which is so hard to draw I don't even know anymore. I have given up. And the color of his sword is great, gives a sort of old East Asian feel to the weaponry, like exhibitions of ancient jade statues. But the composition makes me the happiest, because I love parchment textures mixed with plain ones <3

I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT ITACHI, COUGH COUGH MERMAN.
