I Would Sing You A Song Of Devotion

[redbrunja]

phoenix_melody asked me some more questions.


My top five fanartists (these are not nessecarily the people who have done my favorite pieces of individual fanart, but who I feel have show skill and have a decent portfolio to recommend them.)

Cynchick



Everything she draws just glows and I love how realistic she can get a character, while it still undeniably looks like the person who know.

Drisela


Zutara_TightKnots_SB-CH.7 by ~Drisela on deviantART


Zutara_modesty by ~Drisela on deviantART

Another artist who is one with the glowy-ness, Drisela will draw both more simplistic, sketches that say so much, and more finished pieces that look positively touchable.

Samurai-Pet:

His Boss by ~Samurai-PET on deviantART

You know an artist is good when they draw a pairing you DON'T like, and yet everything they drawn that ship, you're like, 'yeah, that's hot.'

Sorceressmyr:

PICK KAKASHI! WHY IS THERE EVEN DEBATE! (sorry, my OTP got the best of me for a minute). I would love it if she would do a straight Kakashi/Sakura at one point.

Honorable Mention:

MuseSilver


NaruSaku: In the Office by *MuseSilver on deviantART

Count how many of Naruto's fantasies are coming true in just this one fanart...


NaruSaku: Content by *MuseSilver on deviantART


I don't ship just about ANY of her pairing, but I love her style greatly.

First, pheonix asked me for my top five fanfic writers, which almost caused an anxiety attack. The authors who wrote my top five favorite fics? The people on my flist who I adore who write fic?

So she gave me myt op five guilty pleasures instead.

1.) Arranged marriage fic. Shut up, okay.

2.) Naruto, which I should apparently feelt guilty for loving.

3.) Cool-whip eqsue 'whipped topping' that has nothing remotely dairy-like in it.

4.) The In Death series, although after however many books I've ready, I think I've finally burned out on them. *sad face* Peabody! I love you and your realistic body type and awesometastic relationship with another guy with a realistic body type.

5.) Skippy peanut butter and/or fandomsecrets . I really need to stop visiting that site because it desensitizes me to the crazy yet I can't seem to help myself.

Five things you wish you could change about Naruto canon (or other series of choice).

1.) The ratio of female to male characters is 1:1 instead of 1:2 and the women get the same amount of screen time as the guys.

2.) It's quality screentime, doing awesometastic things.

3.) Either Neji, Chouji, or Kiba died during the Sasuke-in-a-barrel arc.

4.) The sharingan is treated like the rip-off jutsu it is, and can't do more than the copying and the mental torture.

5.) There is no training sequence longer than, cumulative, four pages. Ever. If that was enough time with Sakura and Tsunade, than it's plenty for whatever Naruto or Sasuke is doing.

I can totally understand not liking Neji.

And I expected to like Shikamaru/Temari more than I actually do. Other pairings just interest me more. And as for Hinata/Kiba... if I was going to ship her with a guy of that personality type, I'd want her to get Naruto, on the principle that Hinata should get whatever she wants.

It's not "dislike," really. I just could never more than accept him, even though I acknowledge that he did a decent job of redeeming himself.

I notably like them dumb at times, but what made me like Kiba when I could never tolerate Naruto was that Kiba tends to be more aware of what's going on with people around him. Naruto is very caring of pretty much everyone, even people who don't deserve it, but has no real awareness of when someone is in need or wants something unless it's pointed out, and Hinata isn't the type to wear things on her sleeve, whereas Kiba is always pretty aware of what's going on with her and pushes her to speak up for herself.

Good point.
