Artist's Comments

Character: Namikaze Minato
Tools: Photoshop + Pen Tablet

For sweet *MakoRedEyes. Thank you for the support and the happy fan-girling moments :heart:




This one represents many many weeks of work, yes, but those were enjoyable ones.
This fanart was made completely sketch-less and differently from my usual methods of work. It was built directly from the masses/volumes rather than colored, guided by my lines, like I usually do (Humm...dunno if my explanations make any sense at all o_O).

I discovered that I LOVE painting forest! :XD: I already had made some timid attempt at drawing underwood for my fanart "Beneath the thorns". I decided to try again but, this time, more thoroughly and went strolling in the woods, looking for inspiration.
Forest has a true magic to me: it's a powerful symbol of Life and its cycles...embracing and threatening all at once.
I hope the feeling conveys a little bit in the mood of my fanart. I spent a great deal of time refining the lightening & details. I didn't want to ruin it: I've a special fondness for this one.

Great work! I love his expression and the background is amazing! :+fav:

"Beautiful" if definitely the word for this. The forest is excellent - I love the shapes and the darkness and the density of it, and I love the way Minato seems to be part of it. Very well done (and I'm sure Mako-chan will adore it :):heart: ).

I'm sorry, hon, devart doesn't work properly on this computer, so please forgive this comment for being far too brief. I'll enthuse properly in the e-mail that I must get on and finish and send you!! Gomen ne TT-TT

I'm wordless..
It's extraordinary, as bimbomushi already said, how Minato seems a part of this forest, full of life, I think I could hear its sounds :)
You're fantastic, as always...Well, maybe, for me, "amazing" is the best word ;)
