In Kessho, there is a creature known as... Johnathan. A giant naked mole rat that lurks in the deeper mines. Many worship Johnathan. Others fear him. Everyone else? They think people are out of their minds. Original sketch was made by @primordialhalo

I'm working on some new stuff with a new art program so testing and whatnot. Anyway, have some more older artwork of Tourou being baby.

Inarora's Excursion Astrid E. Abell

With Ina's Excursion, you receive: - An adorable MC

- 4 POVs, 3 of which are adult

- Sarcastic gay grandpas

- Disability rep

- Fat rep in a POV character

- Queer rep

- & a loving, wholesome family

Inarora Beservera is the daughter of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but she’s never been concerned about his political career before. After all, politicians’ families were only targeted in Naa’ran, right? She’s in for a rude awakening when she’s sent almost 50 years into the past and finds herself living with her great-grandpas.

During Inarora’s stay in the past, she finds herself walking down a path of self-discovery. Of all the things to happen, she never expected she’d develop unknown powers!

Kaedan Beservera never expected his daughter to get kidnapped in a relatively safe country like End’oria. Yet he has to rely on the Intelligence Ward, the same organization that refused to investigate his grandfather’s murder, to find her.

Between two useless bureaucratic institutions, Kaedan is forced to take matters into his own hands before he loses Inarora forever. But what can he do if he doesn’t know who took her?

Just adding some more Tourou art while I work on a separate project. I'm redesigning some older characters for a possible web comic. But anyway, have some more angry bitey boy.

Every village needs a great leader and the King of Kessho is Safia Holdem! Ah yes, Jaku's dad. The man who can crush boulders and threw his three year old son into the deeper mines without a second thought. Holdem is a rugged man who will protect his village from invaders if he has to...but he'd much rather gamble and drink at the casino with a foxy lady on each arm. Believe it or not though, he does in fact love his son. His training methods are just questionable.

Side characters time. Here we have Jun and Maki, Kaori's team. There's not much to say about them other than they are sassy and have a hopeless dream of wielding Kiba. Too bad Kiri retired the swords. These two basically exist to enhance Kaori's abilities. They make a freak ton of water, she freezes it.

I made Hani a whim to help @ruutuli fill out their genin boruto era squad. I figured he'd be a throw-away character but I mean...come on. Look at him. He's too fun. Hani is an aburame bee user. Considering his clan has a long-standing hatred for the bee users from Iwa, they don't like him very much. Actually you know, most people don't like him very much. He's an excentric weirdo who loves botany and creating tonics. I definitely want to draw more of him in the future.

Sometimes you just have to make a character for funsies. For me my favorite characters are harpies. So yes, I made a harpy ninja. Does he make sense in the world? Debatable. But then again, I argue that in Naruto there's snake people, toad people, gods, aliens, nonsense. So sure. Harpy man.

The angry jackalope summon, Reno. He's well... an A**Hole. Reno is Kaori's companion. He teaches her life lessons while complaining about it the entire time.

Hachidori is a bounty hunter originally from Konoha. When she was young, she was actually dating a Uchiha. Nothing serious as they were just kids. But unfortunately, he um... Got Itachi'd. Hachi was there that night, managing to escape the slaughter with help of her animal friend, Kumo. Before she fled though, she saw someone stealing Uchiha eyes and decided to take her boyfriend's. Hachi tried to tell everyone she could that she saw someone who wasn't Itachi that night taking eye but well...no one believed her. So she left Konoha and became a missing-nin.

Houshi 'Jewels' Kyuu! Lilly's older brother, in fact the oldest son of the Kyuu family. You got to love a character who is deceptively attractive. Bunny bro here has a not so secret double life as a stripper in Kesshogakura's red-light district. Being an elite dealer-nin apparently doesn't pay the bills like it used to.

A bonus! His eyes under all of that hair.

[mintyoftheleaf]

Oh goodness. I realize I'm the one who chose to animate the sharingan. But I still hate myself for it. Anyway, no full ref today because I made this icon for my friend who isn't on tumblr. This is her character, Ryuki Uchiha. He is Kaori's angry boyfriend.

A ninja with absolutely no ties to Kesshogakura, it's Kaori Yuki the ice skater! She was my first Naruto OC that started the spiral of madness. I used to be a big fan of Naruto when I was much younger but I never made an OC until her. It's actually a little crazy how full circle my life has become now that I've gotten back into my old favorites. Because Kaori is my oldest ninja OC, she's also the only one that has a complete set of ninja rank / age references. Will I do the others? PROBABLY NOT. That's a lot of work designing every life state.

My Loser Child™

And @mintyoftheleaf 's oc Tourou Hika who Kao is very in love with normal about

They're a survivor of the Hashirama Cell Experiments(and more) and they lk think of Orochimaru as a parent. Is that a bad or a good thing? Idk!

[mintyoftheleaf]

Them. Them is...Oh. They... Hm... Unsure what them. Them bad. Very bad.

This is the first piece of artwork I've made specifically with tumblr in mind because well...this is also the first time I've ever drawn canon characters. Which, I acknowledge is insane. I just have never felt comfortable drawing canon characters because I have this irrational fear that if I mess them up, I'll get teased for it. Anyway, I still have a lot more artwork that I've done that I haven't added yet so here's young Toki.

[mintyoftheleaf]

Toki is actually one of my favorite Naruto OCs but I made him before I even came up with Kesshogakura. Thankfully he fits into the lore quite well. Toki was on track to become a geat ninja, probably one of the best in his generation. However, after his team ran into Deidara and Sasori while out on a mission, his team abandoned him after Deidara blew up his arms. Seeing an opportunity, Sasori rebuilt him and took him under his wing. Toki became a spy for the Akatsuki member and inevitably...well...we all know Sasori died. So now he's just a bad boy who does a lot of dirty busy deals and there's plenty of clients to be found down in Kessho.
