Naruto, Part 1

Lately, I have a been a bit addicted to Naruto manga. But I think most all manga otakus are at some point, right? ;) Just kidding.
 Well, I've been drawing Naruto characters like crazy and am going to post each one separately. Today, it's Kakashi Hatake. He's one of my favorites. His regular expression is  bored, but he's a strong, fierce, and loyal shinobi (ninja) when those he cares about are threatened. He's relatively easy to draw too, because you don't have to draw half his face. And no one knows what is under the mask...
Ha ha! Enjoy.

My favorite Kakashi quotes:

"Oh... me? My name is Kakashi Hatake. What I like... I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future..hmm... never really thought about that..as for my hobbies... well I have a lot of hobbies."

 "Those in the ninja world who break the rules are scum, that's true....but those who abandon their friends.. are lower than scum."

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late, I'm afraid I got lost on the path of life."

*To Pain* "The people from this village are different from your average village. Even if it means dying, there's not a single one of us, who would sell out a comrade."

...and the close-ups...

What a disinterested expression...

My favorite...Chidori!

Kakashi reading, like always...

The Sharingan eye.

Sasuke's next. Ciao for now!

A quick word: While Naruto is a fun and engaging series, there are some things to look out for-the most prominent definitely being the violence. Naruto is a ninja tale, and ninjas are warriors, mind you, so it can be quite bloody sometimes. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 13. (Also, if you are reading it online, watch out for heavy language. The paperback English version is cleaned up a lot, though.)

My Big Project

I shall now show you what I was (and still am) working on that took all my time for the past few weeks...

Taa daa!!!

I wrote a book. *cough* Well, I'm almost done writing a book. There's still a couple chapters left...it's at 114 pages right now and I've only got a bit to go. Anyway. About the book.

Basic information:

Fiction (Historical/Sci-fi)

Synopsis: 

         Darcy has just started her freshman year at a new high school. All she wants is to live a normal life, but there’s one problem—her inventor father mysteriously disappeared three years ago. Darcy, with the help of her new friend Jack, decide to set out to discover the cause of her father’s disappearance…and their search throws them back through time! As the two race through America’s early history, the clues leading to Darcy’s father force them to rethink the things they believed were fact…

This was for a school project. A "40 hour project". (Required 40 hours minimum.) I am telling you, a book will take waaaay more than forty hours! Though, I had a lot of fun writing this even though it took a lot of time. ^_^

For my presentation power point, I also drew my own clip art! 

Me, thinking of the story...

What would happen when I would try to write to late at night...

To create a book, you need support. This is my "team".

My Mom proofread and offered corrections, and my editor (a.k.a. sister) did all the formatting and cover design. They are life savers!

I will post when I complete the book. Maybe I'll sell it somewhere? ;)

Ciao!
