Naruto -- I JUST WANNA TRY A BITE!!

This has been in the works since...October of last year? I saw the meme ages ago and always had plans to re-do this picture since it is still one of my most popular pieces in my gallery. Now that I finally finished it I can't even think of anything to say. The sketch of Kiba has been done for months, finally scanned it in..January? Finally started trying to finish it within the past two weeks. Most of it was completely new to me. I WANTED to annihilate the old one. I've learned so many new things, including trees. I looked at many tutorials and ended up just trying stuff out instead of flat out copying and it really paid off.

Should note I used some of these brushes [link] for the leaves. I had a screencap of the anime as a reference of how trees should look and I was getting so into laying the brushes and messing around, I completely stopped looking at it and then it turned out kind of like it anyway haha

In the end I am SO happy with how this came out. Like 50hrs of work right here.
