Naruto art: Kakashi vs. Sakura
I AM DRAWING NINJAS.

torch asked for Kakashi and Sakura in each other's clothes, so I drew... uh.... something else entirely. In my defense, the original sketch of Kakashi in this pose was wearing Sakura's stuff, but the picture seemed to have moved beyond that. Basically, I discovered a reference site called Bodies in Motion, and I am super happy.
Also, a long time ago I told
torch that if she wrote Naruto fic, I would draw her pictures. So, all I'm saying here is my word is good.

Besides, while I don't really care if you ever write any Naruto fic, I did want to mention that I am still ready and willing to apply visual bribery. And I am endlessly delighted that you seem to have fallen for the characters -- how does Naruto have so many GOOD ONES?! XD On that note -- I did recently discover that you have technically written a Naruto fic. I guess I should be glad that you didn't come knocking asking for Gai/Iruka art -- Well, actually, gimme a sec.

Also you give the best presents ever. Joy!

And thank you. I enjoy making the presents too, so whether or not you ever make it past the fade-to-black, I'm still glad I drew them. :)

Hmm. It only took me two sentences to get sidetracked back to Kakashi.

Yeah, I kind of noticed that. :) Yes -- I love that Guy as Kakashi's best friend gives you a whole new perspective on Kakashi's weirdness, and vice versa. They're totally funky, but solid. I even felt quite forgiving towards the filler season when they decided to do an ep about Guy and Kakashi, even though it was, well. (Filler season = torch waving arms in the air, saying "omg bring on the war!")

Yes, this! You said it perfectly. I would read so many stories. XD (Ok, and NOW I will say something about Iruka.)
I think Iruka does something similar -- though less delightfully wacky and perspective-shifting. I love that he is a 9 to 5 ninja with an unglamorous job and none of the celebrity status. He's such a fantastic counterpoint to the infamous war heroes and also a hotbed for world-building day-to-day ninja life. It sounds silly, but I find stories that want desperately to build Iruka up as "Well, he could have been a jounin if he wanted to", etc, to be boring -- I'm shaking my fist at the screen, going, "What! Come on! Tell me more about his paperwork, god damn it!"

(and having read all of your and torch's threads, I love how much you two love Guy and Kakashi and Iruka and I completely agree and want to read all the fics (more please!). That may be why Hoyden's AU Guy/Iruka fic is one of my very favorites, not just the family-building and the happiness, but also how she showed that if Guy is in your life, so is Kakashi because they are basically Best Friends FOREVER:)
