KisaIta :Happy Birthday:

This is my entry for the first contest of ! It is also the first digital art I have drawn on paper, scanned, traced, and colored all by myself!

Good heavens, this took forever! I'd finished the initial drawing, scanning, and line-art-ing process some time last month. Even then, with the "hard part" done, the coloring on this took me just short of five hours! I can't see straight.

I apologize for the horrific size of the damn thing, but I haven't yet figured out how to shrink the file without severely damaging the quality.

Okay, as a birthday present to Kisame, Itachi got the name of my favorite shark tattooed on his back. Isn't that just adorable? Yes it is. Earned him a hickey.

The kanji and hiragana on the far left read "Otanjoobi omedetoo", basically "Happy Birthday" (even if that isn't the exact translation). The red kanji is "Lover". Everybody now, "Aww!"

Despite the loss of sight, I had outrageous amounts of fun doing this.

I personally don't think it's deserving of a mature content filter, so I'm not giving it one.

EDIT: has written me a ficlet for this! You can read it here [link]
