Artist's Comments

His dream is to have his face carved up there.

This was inspired by watching the new Naruto ending (eps. 65 onwards). The leaves are from #65 too – Sasuke's show off scene. I took about 20 screencaps, then proceeded to cut out leaves, twist, arrange them, etc.

Hmm...you know, backgrounds are way more fun than drawing characters. Especially the Hokage cliff-face. Though that might be because I did the background first and hence was less enthusiastic once I reached Naruto. Same as with the Neji pic.

Also, please point out any improvements I could make to this.

Photoshop, just over 6 hours total.

Edit: fixed the Hokage noses, cleaned up the bg and Naruto in a few spots. The red swirl on Naruto's back was in a slightly wrong position too. Thankyou for the suggestions everyone ^_^.

the idea isn't that clear...

i thought his dream was about ficticious heroin type leaders' faces on the mountain...
in contrast to the "old fossils" that are there as of now.

i think what i like here most is the vividness of the boy .. coloration is just gorgeous :nod:

cheers :)

Oh, wow. That kicks mondo ass. There's nothing better than seeing a thumbnail of some fabulous Naruto art on devart.com. I feel so lucky everytime. I luuuurve Naruto's hair. It's GORGEOUS and perfect. :nod:

AWSOME! Really great! I love the concept of the image - we get to see only Naruto's back and can only speculate about his face expression at this moment, though the color scheme and the windy/stromy athmosphere give us a hint at his possible mood.
Of couse, the Hokages aren't perfect, but the overall appeal of the image is so strong and compensates for that. ^^

Oh and I totally dig Naruto's hair here! :D

I see dumb people... they're everywhere.
They walk around like everyone else.
They don't even know that they are dumb!

The angle to this makes me shiver all delighted like X3 I really love this picture! The leaves and how you can see some of the sky above the mountain is just great. The coloring is fantastic overall, and I especially love his hair. You did a very good job of getting the back view on him, I sometimes find the head to be a problem when I go for back views. I think the Sandaime's nose goes down too much, the highlight needs to extend outward a little more. Some of Naruto's outline looks a little fuzzy, by the outside of both his shoulders and the outside of his left leg. If you could sharpen those up a bit I think it would help. I really love the leaves....you can almost feel the wind. It's amazing.
