Naruto Calendar Images
February
March

lol i finally got around to starting my little Naruto Calendar project 8D ya... i know January is over... but i had to finish eventually *_* i got the idea to do a calendar thing from *darkangel6, who is doing a Tales of the Abyss themed one x)

the character im doing each month is a character who has a birthday in that month 8D and im deciding to do pre-timeskip costumes for each, since the fact book for the characters who come in afterward hasnt come out yet... so their birthdays havent been revealed yet.

so ya, a pre-timeskip Naruto calendar! lol yay 8D

i originally was going to do Gaara, but then none of my sketches were turning out at all XP so i switched to doing Shino, since theres not very much fanart of him around here and one of my friends here is a Shino fan 8D so i figured he would be a good one to do for the month.

im sort of pleased with this picture (its art block art Dx so i struggled a lot with it...) i started with a sketch i really liked, but had no idea what i wanted the colors to be like 8D so it took me a long time to do because i kept changing my mind...

i eventually decided on a full moon night type of picture, because the colors are cool but theres still a good light source to create nice shadows.

my least favorite part of this is the bugs xD i did them last so i was pretty tired of working on this picture by the time i got there... so they are sort of rushed XP but then again, in the manga and anime, they are just solid black little beetles o.O so im not sure i could have done too much more with them anyways >.<

its desktop wallpaper size for a reason!!! all my pictures for the calendar will be desktop wallpaper size x) so i can make it my desktop each month.

this is another chalk brush picture >D
