Kakashi/Sakura ReverseBang art

Treehouse, PG
(Naruto) Kakashi, Sakura



[There will be a link to the associated story here! Later!]




The lovely texture brushes used here (somewhat ineptly) come from blimey_icons.

If you're a Naruto fan on livejournal, you need to be open to either Kakashi/Sakura or Kakashi/Iruka, because these are the two active Naruto comms. On that note, here is some KakaSaku Reverse Bang art! Later, there will be KakaIru as I have just successfully signed up for that fest. There is a common theme here, and his name is Kakashi. :)

The textures are wonderful! Cool pic! Can't wait for the fic, though I'm wary of Kakashi/Sakura, I just don't know if I can do that.

My main ship is Naruto/Sasuke but luckily I love Kakashi/Iruka too! Wait, I lie. My main ship is Iruka-Naruto family!

I have a lot of reservations myself about Kakashi/Sakura. The main appeal to me is honestly that there is an active friendly comm with monthly art challenges and that it demonstrably wants to see and read about girl characters. I will happily draw some pictures (or write some fic, actually) for that. :) It was actually much more accessible for me than the KakaIru or KakaIru-fest comms -- the latter even had a rule for the summer fest about only participating if you have participated before! Me: WHAT NO. D:

If you did want to read a Kakashi/Sakura story, the best stories are probably House of Crows or Duty Before Honor or The Window by Silvershine (though you have to get past the startling way the third one begins).

All three are epic length, really stunningly well-plotted stories with fantastic Naruto world-building. They're uncomfortable to read because SilverShine writes the pairing very recognizably as what it is -- a 30 year old man and a teenage girl who was his student when she was 11, but she doesn't pull her punches and she brings the consequences like nobody's business. I am definitely glad I read them.

This is the same author who wrote the brilliant story about Naruto's parents that I recommended here.

Ooo, recs, the way to my heart! I'll give them a shot, thank you!

That's gorgeous! I keep waiting for her to stand up and turn around and yell at him not to just sit there like a gargoyle but do something useful about... well, whatever plot-related reason she's brooding over.

Thank you. :D

This is FANTASTIC. I really love the organic texture of the image, and the stark contrast between the natural brushstrokes and the inky lines. It's so beautifully balanced, with a lot of emotion. I'm really impressed- do you have a deviantart?

Thank you. I'm glad you like it. I have not used deviantart for many years. All of my art can be found here or (for older things) at pentapus.livejournal.com under the art tag.
