~Question~ But, but, can I atleast use thier jutsu? /_\

-Of course you can! ^^ although it would be good to see some original ideas, it's fine to use already existant jutsu ^u^

Augh, what's with all the ^u^s? Making my eyes burn....

I'm in! Save me a spot!

However...we can only "like"/vote once right? (Otherwise things might get hairy...) Also, you should determine an actual deadline DATE, otherwise, we'll be like "Is it done yet?" like, every five minutes.
Great idea BTW, looking forward to everyone's art!

Hey, Kat-chan!

I have a question...Are we allowed to use the original characters and their clothes/accessories as references?
Or do we have to make completely NEW designs for each of our characters?

You can still use certain elements like outfit parts, but you can't draw shikamaru and say it's someone else, you know what I'm saying? ^u^
Use your imaginations and Naruto for referance ^u^

Yeah, I meant the outfits. ^u^
Okay, I'm gonna post one of my characters soon. It's a bit messy so please forgive me. ^^"

(Also, I styled my sketch like Kishi's sketches. By that, I mean almost NO shading. I hope that's accepted....^^")

I've already drawn a ninja but it's a girl. I should've asked before drawing but I hope it's okay if the character's a girl.

It IS okay. The ninja could be a girl or boy. Mine's a girl too. Well, my first one anyway.

This is my drawings post! ^^

First one;
Suren; Sand Village
*Face ; Sorry it's side ways ^^'' didn't look good on the camera otherwise ^^

Oh wow, okay....
Mine might be a while. I still must find a scanner....actually it just is taking me a while to finish anything due to distraction.

Can we vote even if we don't participate?
Oh, and you can always offer free art reviews or donated points to the winners/participants. Just a suggestion

Sure ^^
and
Thank you for the suggestion ^u^

Okay, here is mine. Full body portrait and a head-shot.
The head-shot looks kind of unfinished. It's mostly because of the close-up. Sorry.^^"

This girl's a Sunagakure shinobi (as you can...kind of...see from the headband) and her name is Sumi.

Here is my character. Everything I'm going to say here or have drawn does not exist in the naruto series. This is my original. Her name's Amber Gray. She is from the village of fumes. It is located in the shadow of a volcano, surrounded by mountains.
Her special jutsu is called Flaming Spirits. She fuses her fiery spirit with her chakra to summon these spirits that are completely made of flame and will burn anything at their touch (If the user has complete control over them, they will only burn the things wished by him/her).
Amber can only summone two or three spirits if she's feeling very down. Only if her own spirits are high can she be able to summon a numorous amount of the Flaming Spirits.

Wow, Twinkle. You did awesome!! >.<
I love the character designs!!
*liked* ^^

I could not post it in here so posted it as a post in this forum. Here is the link. viewtopic.php?f=27&t=95268
