Finally finished my little drawing some #naruto #shipuden love. It’s not accurate at all it’s all done from memory and improvisation. Naruto series is a big part me growing up. Maybe I’ll do more weird naruto drawings … you guys want more?
For@fenheart87, part of @narutosecretsanta event, who suggested doing something with these two and winter drinks. Merry holidays, fenheart!
My headcanon: Modern day AU Sasuke and Naruto cozy it up by the campfire every winter. A timeless tradition, even after they phase out the ‘b’ in their bromance
The difference here is that England is the one yelling dO I LOOK LIKE- while France says it calmly. Sasuke says it calmly while Naruto is the one yelling YOU’RE HOLDING MY-
I like to think of it more as an aesthetic or a fashion statement combined with an attitude – so certified edgy™ characters like Gladion, Shadow the hedgehog, or Tokoyami are designed – either by the writers/marketers or the characters themselves (like Gladion going though a rebellious teen phase lol) to come off that way on purpose.
Tokoyami from MHA, for example, just makes it his aesthetic. His room is decorated with a dark and scary theme. He says cheesy / poetic shit like “revelry in the dark” in response to class camping training exercise on purpose and is played for laughs.
But Sasuke? SASUKE does not care about fashion or aesthetics as his outfits are meant to be practical – he gives 0 shits. He wore a man skirt and the equivalent of hobo rags at one point. His attitude? Never gripes or complains openly about his tragic past™, rather he’s just straight up suffering and losing grip of sanity because of how events escalate. He has a goal-driven, blunt, and reserved personality – and he shows a range of emotions.
As opposed to being an emotionless emo dude, he’s like the biggest drama queen I’ve seen, especially how angry, jealous, and desperate he can get. Countless things go wrong because he OVER reacts to things – his worldview is that of an extremist and everything he does is driven by emotions. Sasuke is the king of overkill and a sensitive boy that’s why he’s so easily manipulated OK?
He’s a deconstruction of the edgy emo trope - it’s just that most of us were preteens when we got into Naruto and tend to take everything at face value.
My piece for the Naruto Tribute Show at Gallery Nucleus in collaboration with Viz Media! The show will be up until November 18th if you want a chance to see it and are in the LA area :)
