Simp for fictional men - She/Her - 18
Welcome to the musings of the mind, as a bright-eyed scientist, it is my job to explore and learn about the wondrous things around us.
the moment i read this scene in @aeriheadĀ ās The Difference Between The SilencesĀ i knew i had to doodle it bc a laughing hanzo gives me S t r e n g t hĀ
Tw for Kakashiās general (terrible) mental state, including hallucinations, slight body horror and blood.
I.
II.
III.
These are parts 1, 2 and 3 out of 5. You can probably already guess who the rest will be about.
Parts 4 and 5
I have kind of taken this project as sort of like three different art studies in one (color, lineart and Kakashi's character).
It is set on Kakashi's ANBU era, where he was most depressed (and hallucinations were definetly (a common occurance/happening)). He had lost everything and everyone during this stage of his life, which is why I wanted to explore his feelings about every person he lost and how their deaths affected him.
More details about each part that you may have not noticed:
Sakumo:
Kakashiās face is not fully visible, only Sakumo's.
At the end when he talks about the blood he refers to the floor as "wooden", but he's n the bathroom, actually standing on a tile floor, meaning he's hallucinating that he's in his old house right where he found his father.
Minato and Kushina:
They are both intentionally blurry, because Kakashi was not involved in their deaths in any way at all, unlike the other ones. He never saw them die. He just learned that they were gone.
This is also why he canāt reach them. No matter how much he runs he could not get there in time to save them, just like his sensei. He canāt go back into the past, either, so he just lost them without saying goodbye, only seeing what they left behind.
Minato is on his back in that one panel to represent the emotional distance between him and Kakashi. In canon Minato always seemed to keep a formal sort of work-oriented relationship with his team, because even though he seemed warm he was actually quite far, and he never opened up about himself at all.
Kushina's voice is simply "loud and vibrant", simply energetic, but I chose to make its connotation ambiguous because we never saw her and Kakashi interact in canon and so donāt know how their relationship was like.
In the last panel Kakashi's hand is monster-like, kind of like a certain seven-tailed beast in that one scene, which represents how he believes his influence would horribly corrupt Naruto.
Kakashi:
The color palette on the whole comic is monochromatic except for the blood and Kakashi's sharingan, representing how colorless his life was before he had his precious people with him, especially Obito.
This is the first time Kakashi's face is visible.
The focus on the "white fang" blade also works as a reminder of what will eventually happen if he breaks.
