I’ve received several comments about my realistic naruto characters looking White and not looking Asian on reddit and one on tumblr. I assured those who are wondering that I used photos of Asian people when making them, and I let them have Asian features like epicanthic eyelid folds, hooded eyes, low nose bridge and flat facial structure. I believe some people may not be accustomed to Asians with features like this especially in the west where Asian people are the perpetual foreigner and people aren’t familiar with Asians. The light colors might be throwing some people off as well.
I made this collage to kinda show what they would look like if they did have white/caucasian facial structures.
Naruto Tarots Cards
So @alexandralumetta and I had some fun with tarots cards when I went to meet her. Talking and chatting, we planned our own Naruto tarot deck - though if and when these cards will be drawn, it’s a totally different thing xD
The Magician, who so loves to scheme: Shikamaru with a Shoji board in front of him, shadows rising all around him.
The Popess, who lives in faith and is sometimes passive: Hinata in a garden, with a book on her lap.
The Empress, she who fiercely protects the life she brings: Kushina, chains all around her.
The Emperor, who strives for power to change the world: Neji, on a throne.
The Hierophant, who lives his faith so much he’s a bigot: Obito, with a monk’s scepter, Rin a distant ghost in the water.
The Lovers, the figure who has to take a choice: Tobirama, offering his hands to a young Danzo and Hiruzen.
The Chariot, who runs and runs and runs towards the future without inhibitions, but who often crashes and burns: Jiraiya on a chariot drafted by two toads
Justice, the divine power who cares not for mortals, judge and executioner in one: Kyuubi, in his mighty power.
The Hermit, who chooses to stay away from people, and yet lights the way for them: Tsunade, holding the glowing shodai’s necklace.
The Wheel of Fortune, which turns and turns no matter the efforts.of mortals to change fate with their plans: Sasuke on top of a spinning rinnegan, whose every plan is foiled by fate.

The Hanged Man, who by choice is stopped in time, helpless to move: Hiruzen, hanging upside down from a tree
Death, who represents the end and beginning of things, the never ending chain: Orochimaru on top of a snake that looks like it’s eating itself
Temperance, who has complete control of herself and her destiny, who achieved inner peace: Mito, pouring a jug of red water, chains holding her frozen
The Devil, who represents all excesses and overwhelming passions that ruins you: Madara surrounded by flames, two skeletal cats with Sharingan eyes guarding him
The Tower, which represents ruin and death and destruction: Danzo, standing in front of the hokage’s collapsing tower
The Stars, which brings fortune and happiness and hope: Minato, ankle-deep in the water, a bird on his shoulder, stars above him
The Sun, which brings passion and strength and bravery: Naruto, riding a toad, the sun in his hands like a rasengan
Judgement, who rises above mortals to judge them and guide them: Hashirama, the god of shinobi standing on a massive tree, tiny people bowing to him
The World, who represents everything outside your house’s walls, the strive to power to change everything: Gaara, naked in the desert, threads of sand covering strategic places
The Fool, who walks a lonely road, perfectly aware of his past and his future: Kakashi standing by a road sign reading ‘road of life’, a sack on his shoulder (his past) and Pakkun by his side (his guide to the future)
(I’m not 200% convinced of Gaara tho)
As a Married couple.

a shinobi’s life is not measured by how they lived but rather what they managed to accomplish before their death.

Naruto you are the destined child, I know it, the rest is up to you! […] There, that ending was a little better. The frog at the bottom of the well drifts off into the great ocean, yep, pretty damn honorable. I guess it’s time to put down my pen, I need a title for the next book, let’s see … ah got it “The Tale of Uzumaki Naruto”. Perfect
