A guide to the culture surrounding face-paint in Sunagakure for my Naruto fic, Fade to Black! It should be noted that face-paint is not only limited to puppeteers— anyone and everyone can paint their face, including civilians! It's a form of self-expression, after all.

Originally, face-paint was simply stage makeup for kabuki theatre, but puppeteers adopted it onto their puppets for the recognizability of various characters, in that they can re-use a base puppet for another character in a different play without making an entirely new puppet simply by changing its paint.

Some people wear a Face for the artistry. Others, to nonverbally express a phase/event/period of their life that they're going through. Some people wear it in honor of a deceased loved one who wore the same Face. Usually, the younger a person is, the more often they will change their Face.

Shout-out to @greenekangaroo for a lot of the inspiration and "original" Faces!

Also, this is the first time I've drawn my OCs Rooster and Dragon! Kishimoto-sensei was a coward. If he was going to incorporate aspects of middle eastern culture, he could have given us more middle-eastern representation other than a single councilor. Maybe Baki was coded that way? I actually forgot about his face paint until just now as I write this lol, but if I drew him then he would go on the "Custom Faces" page right next to Rooster because Baki has a two-claw pattern on one cheek.

That's all for now, I think. Ask box is always open if anyone has any questions; I'm always happy to ramble!

Never gonna get over how the anime made this scene just so,, haunting and elevated. Like I love the manga but I love how the anime has taken these scenes and elevated the themes of death and rebirth with simple shots like this and it’s why even after reading all of the manga I still get excited for the anime because I *know* the anime will not only be a faithful adaptation, but also an artistic masterpiece as it uses the medium to its advantage
