My entry for the Naruto NGNR fan club art contest [link] ! I've been looking for an opportunity to draw another piece of fan art for the online Naruto fan manga series, Naruto NGNR, created by the deviant, Eevee445! You can read it via [link] . The theme for the contest was “snow day”. I’m not sure why this particular idea came to mind. Maybe I was inspired by this picture by this picture by Nekoni [link] (after all, it was were I got the idea for Ayami’s fluffy poncho*lol*) Anyway, the characters featured are Nadu Yurei, Ayami Hyuga, Hondo Hyuga, an unnamed boy of the Uzumaki Clan and Ayami’s team mates who have yet to make an appearance in the story. I got the character designs from some drawings Eevee445 did in her journal. I just noticed that I forgot the mark under the eye of the boy with glasses had in the sketches I studied *sweat drops*.

And now for the story behind the picture; one cold day in Konoha, Ayami and her teammates, along with the two little boys who tagged along decide to go out and play in the snow. While out there, Hondo wanted to make a snowman. Everyone decides to and they start making one. Just when they were making some finishing touches, Nadu came and wanted to help out; although Ayami tried telling him it was pretty much done. In the process, Nadu accidentally trips (don’t ask me how) and falls on the snowman, which brings us to this scene. Poor Hondo’s about to cry, Ayami is ready to kill Nadu, Nadu sheepishly tries to apologize, the Uzumaki kid laughs at how Nadu fell, and finally, Ayami’s teammates merely look on, one obviously more unfazed as the snow starts up again.

This was originally a colorful picture, but thanks to the background I gave, it didn't look "winter-like" enough so I gave the scene a bluish tint. And finally, the snow effects; done with adobe photoshop's motion blur and air brush(I love that software)
