Alrighty this piece is actually sort of a collab between and I, who provided the lovely original sketch (the pose idea came from an unknown doujinshi). Then I took the sketch and created the lineart--while making a few minor anatomy and perspective adjustments--before coloring it.

I saw a lot of potential in the original picture... all it needed was to be cleaned up in certain areas and it would be a masterpiece! You can see *Tales-of-sharingan's sketch >> HERE <<

~ Other Notes ~

I chose to attempt the realistic/soft style coloring because I havnt done it in such a long time, and this time I decided to actually put some effort in. Although the shading took foreeeeever (I never do it mainly because it is so time consuming), it was still fun... especially the skin. I needed more practice with coloring cloth folds too so it was a good opportunity.

The hair originally has more detail... but when taken out of PSD format in photoshop the colors randomly get noticably darker with more contrast. Ive never figured out why. And yes... Itachi's hair is now purple. Bite me. It looks better that way anyways.

Probably the part that I am most proud of is the skin... and the lighting on Sasuke's body--and his whole body actually. No. I didnt mean it like that you pervs...you know what I meant. *shifty eyes*


All of this cute ItaSasu-ness is going to my brain now. I still love this pairing... I would say my second favorite Naruto pairing closely following SasuNaru. *skips off to go read some long overdue Uchihacest fanfiction*
