Artist's Comments

November 2008

I always imagine Shikamaru and Chouji's friendship a bit unmutual at first. The way young Chouji's portrayed in the manga makes him seem like he'd latch onto anyone who showed him kindness if they'd let him. And Shikamaru doesn't seem the social type, but I can imagine him shrugging it off, "Hm, guess I got some friendship thing goin on now." Ha ha.

I was planning on inking this and posting it, but I'm notorious for being too scared to finalize ANYTHING. So, here you go. In my mind I specifically wanted the door framing Shikamaru and his body framing Chouji, and it took a long time to figure out how to compose this!

By the way, sorry for Chouji being a bit weird. This is actually a pretty small drawing, so I wasn't able to get into him that much.

Naw, it's so cute. ^^
I love the hoepeful look on Choji's face, like he's wondering if he might actually have a friend. X3
Awesome job with the shading. 8D

I'm not quite satisfied with Chouji's expression, but I'm glad it comes across as hoping they could be friends since that's what I was going for!

Thanks!

I guess I don't really need to thank you for favs on your homepage anymore, that's kinda obnoxious, huh?

I like your idea of how Chouji and Shika's friendship started out. It makes a lot of sense.

I love Chouji's expresssion. It's so unsure, but hopeful, too, you know? Very good job. :)
