My most recent pic and probably the last finished piece of ‘07 I think. Going out with a Naruto pic.

The ‘destined child’ (if you’ve been keeping up with the manga) looking toward his future, with the Kyuubi bright in his past.

Or… something.

Mostly I just wanted to do a Naruto!face pic. >.>; XD And yes, once again I gave the Kyuubi blue eyes(I know they're red!) ; To tie him with Naruto?

And a little babble follows (You can skip it if you like! XD )

Uzumaki Naruto is my favourite character in Naruto. I fell completely in love with his personality from the get-go. (Lucky me, he’s the lead then!) and I watch the show just for him. (Though okay, I like Sasuke too…and Shikamaru, and Hinata, and Sakura, and Jiraiya and- … I stop there.)

Some people think he’s a bit of an idiot, a klutz… and they’re absolutely right. =3 He is.
Which is why he kicks ass.
Naruto is loud and energetic, and he’s determined and completely and utterly devoted to those he cares about. He’s not the brightest crayon in the box, no, but he’s smart where it matters.
He has his hopes, his dreams; he has the willpower and the sheer resolve to get to them because though he’s not the best ninja around either, Naruto never gives up. His dream to become Hokage when we first see him- and witness his bumbling- seems about as far fetched as Sasuke going into battle sporting a pink tutu, but as the series progresses, Naruto grows. Naruto shows himself to be a capable ninja and more than this, his tenacity and his drive affect those around him, garnering him the loyalty and support that whether intentional or not will one day serve him well as Hokage…

Naruto is a hero. That’s why I think he kicks ass. In his loyalty to his friends, Naruto is unshakable. He follows his heart- and he’s shown he has a big one. He follows his instinct, leading him to befriend the most unlikely of people. He starts out as the underdog with these big dreams and he keeps working toward them, stumbling most of the way to be fair, but undeterred by the pitfalls and road bumps. That makes me believe he’ll succeed. =3 Both in being Hokage and bringing his best friend back.

Makes him pretty rawr in my books. (3

Also, I think he’s hella hawt. .____.;;;; <3 XD ;

Aaaandone. Ignore the off bits in this pic please, I’m going to tweak it later.
