Did I say I love Kakashi in your style? Well I do, I do love Kakashi in your style 🥺🫠🤤

Couldn't decide if it looked better with or without the lightning so here're both 🤷🏻‍♀️ also process is under the cut ✂️

[violetvelourr]

Kakashi?… erm… sorry to interrupt but perhaps if you let go of that headband at last, and use your second hand too, it would help? 😆🙈

[Seriously I think he had that hand over the headband for ages 🤦🏼‍♀️]

[violetvelourr]

I once saw this brilliant caption: “threatening country music” 🤣 now 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 sent me 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t call it anything else now 🙈

U can hear, he’s coming

Horny panic 🤣

This is an improved illustration for a veeeery old chapter - chapter 5 of the first fanfic...

There is a less censored version on Patreon 🤭

Ah, seems like ages ago... :D initially, I posted this illustration as an ink drawing and I crack up every time I see it because it's so ridiculous but also endearing at the same time 🙈

Also I'm looking at another illustration from that chapter, which I made like around 2.5 years ago and damn I need this to remind myself how much my art has changed 😱

A small extract from the chapter:

He knew perfectly well what it was like to wake up from a nightmare, and then take ages to recover senses, and the nightmare would not end with awakening, but instead would continue to devour you, drive you crazy — but in reality. He was just beginning to cope with it himself. So now he held her tightly to him, whispering a simple "it's okay, it's just a dream" and stroking her trembling shoulders and back, somewhat awkwardly.

In fact, at some point it dawned upon him that the back was completely bare, except for a strip of bandage and the hair — apparently, in the heat of the struggle, the ill-fated blanket had slipped off. Mentally giving himself a slap to get back on a serious track, he tried to make his soothing strokes as neutral as possible. It didn't help — it was still insanely obscene for him. He panicked slightly and stopped stroking her altogether and instead just hugged her, minding to keep his hands off of her bare back, pressed his cheek to the top of her head.

Little by little, the girl began to calm down. When she finally quieted down, he whispered softly: "Will you tell me?"

The girl raised her tear-stained face up at him.

Look her in the eyes! IN THE EYES, Hatake!!! — Kakashi's consciousness screamed.

For Kakashi’s underwear sake! 😆

I have another one!!

[violetvelourr]

This is why we can literally do anything we want with Kakashi in our fanfics 🤣 the diversity of his personality is endless 🥰🤭

Kakashi being kind of an asshole: then and now xD

Bonus: a rare footage of Kakashi singing!

[violetvelourr]

I only posted it just recently! Like there were already 1800 votes at the time 🙈😅

[violetvelourr]

Ok guys so someone whispered that the reason Senshi is so popular is partially due to his panty shots 😁 so um… I’m doing my best for Kakashi’s sake… I mean… 😅

Come on, we can’t have Kakashi lose!! 🤣

[violetvelourr]

Same way I thought how hilarious it would have been if Pakkun had been dangling in the groin area 🙈🤣

Still thinking about this scene where all the Ninken are fiercely biting part of Zabuza's body with a death grip while Pakkun is just dangling from Zabuza's headband 😂❤️

He's trying his best XD

Kakashi's inner thought: Pakkun is so adorable, no wonder he's my favorite 🥹❤️

[violetvelourr]

Correct me if I am wrong but I at some point got the impression that the signs merely help concentrating while forming the jutsu (I’m terrible with terminology, I know), so with due skill hand signs are not even required at all 🤔 or I am mixing it up with some other universe 🙈🙈🙈

P.s. I don’t know how I was watching Naruto OG if I didn’t even remember this but, because Kakashi in my story made a shadow clone with one hand a couple of days before Team 7 so he was fully aware of this trick (and frankly speaking I think it’s a more realistic scenario, I remember I was mildly annoyed about Kakashi acting so much like he was just born yesterday in Naruto OG and knows nothing…) 🙈🥲🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m in a ranting mood today…

A phenomenon I don’t understand:

Person: “I only collect licensed merch.”

That same person has an Etsy shop selling their fan art (because I doubt it they have permission from Pierrot) as prints, stickers, acrylic stands, badges and all that sort of stuff.

Like… huh? 🤔

In particular this person was referring to not purchasing “In Flames” Kakashi, which left me feeling a bit embarrassed, as if I did something wrong myself 🤷🏼‍♀️

P.s. “In Flames” Kakashi is absolutely gorgeous by the way and I never regretted a single day I bought him, licensed or not. If Pierrot cannot accommodate the needs of the fandom it’s not my fault (btw they did later release their own similar doll and some parts really seemed to be a rip off the “In Flames” one, if not even using the same resources 😆).

[violetvelourr]

To continue the subject of being disappointed. Sometimes it doesn’t even have to do with the art…

So there was this other artist I wanted to learn from and they just killed my admiration for good…

They had a “free workshop” on 9 March, which, first of all, instead of sticking with the announced subject, ended up being just the artist telling about their artistic journey, which, to be fair, was actually quite interesting, so even though I was hoping to learn an actual trick or two, but didn’t, I was not too disappointed, it was fun. But also, of course the “workshop” ended up promoting their online art classes and urging people to sign up: although I don’t particularly like that sort of “luring”, it is their right, of course…

But then I received a follow-up email with “Q&A”, and one of them was:

… and I had a good laugh because I’ve seen this before. And I made a bet with myself how “long” this closure will be… my bet was a month.

Well guess what, a new “Workshop” is taking place on 24 March, just 2 weeks after the previous workshop (which I think gave a 2 day period to sign up before “closing for a long time”). And of course they will be opening registrations again… So the “long time” for registrations being closed was just around 13 days 🥲

Honestly I just find it… cringey… like man have some dignity… 🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s okay to promote your services, but using such silly hooks is just unprofessional imo, to me personally it’s an instant turn-off… just shows how desperate you are and nothing more 🤷🏼‍♀️

By the way, in the previous “Workshop” where they actually did show a bit of their workflow, I personally taught this artist that if you want to make a layer with your entire artwork merged, you don’t need to first export it and then import back into Procreate: there is a convenient and pretty obvious “copy canvas” command.

And that is a person who teaches art and working in Procreate in particular…

Also, same person, if they picked the wrong color for an effect layer, instead of adjusting the color using hue/saturation, or maybe even choosing a different blending mode, they erase the damn layer contents, pick the color again and draw over again until they get the result they want 🥲 I was sobbing when I was watching that… so yeah basically at that point I realized the teaching style would not likely meet my needs because sometimes there was just no logic to these actions… I need lifehacks to get faster and not to spend more time than I already am… and I definitely should not be the one to teach that mentor…

But the thing with “closing for a long time” just topped it off for me.

Though I still think they are an awesome artist! But I don’t want to feel like I’m scammed into some cheep crap… 🤦🏼‍♀️

One thing about art (or rather my artistic journey) that both fascinates and upsets me lately is that at some point you actually begin to perceive differently the artists you were looking up to seems like only just yesterday.

I have several examples like this, when I even wanted to ask for mentorship… and a year or so later, gradually, I began to think “why did I think that was good?” And on several occasions it ended even with “no way… I really thought that was genius and the top skill I had to strive for?..”

Like that artist I really wanted to get lessons with, but thanks to sanctions saving my money I couldn’t, and then at some point I realized that their anatomy was just so off and the way they were drawing was basically a hit-or-miss and even more of a “fake it till you make it” principle than I have. Top it off with complete slacking off with rendering and trying to give it off as a finished piece… That was probably my biggest disappointment and I even unfollowed them…

And no, it doesn’t mean that I had gotten just so good myself that I see right through these artists now. I haven’t. I have progressed a little but still very far from where I want to be. But my taste seems to change nonetheless 🤔 and again, I’m definitely not better than those artists I stopped liking, I’m probably even still miles below! But they are just not my role models anymore…

It is interesting and also a bit disappointing tbh… like, as if you gradually stopped enjoying your favorite food… and also like with favorite food, some dishes remain just as delicious (even with flaws, in fact!!)… but some even exquisite dishes suddenly begin to taste “meh”, or even “ewww”.

And I wonder if people think the same way about my art sometimes. Surely they do, I mean, if that happens to me, must happen to others 🤦🏼‍♀️

When someone tells me Kakashi was always sorta this detached and cold person even in Naruto OG. It’s not Inari’s mother or grandfather. Some strange dude, who should not care less, speaks to him… and I think it’s also too early to say that the kids had made him softer… he just always had it within him…

P.s. lol I remember roaring when encountering Kakashi’s butt in this episode of the anime for the first time 🙈

The manga version doesn’t look that impressive 😆
