Mito and Hisoka!

This is the two of them at 17 in Uzu training outfits.

Really like how these two turned out :D

Hisoka and Mito profile pictures

Fortunately or unfortunately (for me) I decided to redraw Hisoka's profile picture again, I didn't quite like the clean line of the previous one, felt the angle was off too.

SO there's the two!

Not sure if I should upload Mito's on UnVale or not, sine she's a canon character...on the other hand we know so little about her that she might as well be an OC

[whirlpoolconnection]

Setting things up on UnVale got me drawing, so here's a profile picture of Hisoka

Don't know if I'll draw more profiles like I did for my One Piece OCs, but one is better than none.

Here, have some progress pics of me trying to figure out what I’ll be doing with Mito’s hair. How to make it similar yet different than canon. Also, using it to work out some hair lore for Uzu.

Naturally the hair needles have some significance related to her House and sealing mastery, but who knows when I’ll delve deeper into it.

Some Uzu references I made for myself!

Specific Character color references (for Uzumaki or Uzumaki Umbrella Clan characters)

General color references for Uzumaki or Uzumaki Umbrella Clan characters

Clothing color reference for Uzumaki Clan lines and Umbrella Clans

Hair bead position reference

Sometimes I put a lot of thought into it, other times I winged it, but I would like to have a set of references to help me along the way - so I made them.

These are, always, subject to change - I hope that they’ll be useful to me, but if I only end up stressing out, then there’s no point.

...

Uzumaki aren't considered entirely weird by outsiders, but there are things that set them apart from the rest. By some very visible margins.

Like them being confused by lack of women's rights. Squinting at other’s lack of gender and sexuality spectrum.

These might actually be counted as the lighter margins here since they can be rationally explained. Uzushio is thriving, there is no need for more children and even if there was...adoption was highly encouraged.

One of the things Uzumaki and their umbrella clans become most famous for is...aggressive marriage arranging. Managing to marry into nearly every known family on the entire continent.

Some may yet resist, but Uzumaki have long memories and even longer archives. They can and will wait you out.

...

"You heard the intermarriage idea?" Kaname asks after swallowing a bite.

"Ah yes," Kaito grins. "not a bad idea that, being recognized for our aggressive marriage arrangements."

"Those Uzumaki," Kaname starts making voices "with their marriages, crazy seals and brash attitude towards gender roles; bane of the Elemental Nations!" his father huffs a laugh.

"Wouldn't that be nice."

So let me start off a set of updates that are really overdue, but here they go.

Warning! Super-tag-battle, loads and loads of tags prepped for AO3, though they may never see use!

Summary: When two water currents meet, they sometimes form a swirling, circular whirlpool. Physical and Mental chakra do the same. One mind, one body, one soul. A collision of such currents makes greatest maelstroms. One should not mess with the cycle of death and rebirth, even if one considers oneself a god.

. Story notes and ideas for this series in general .

So far the Premise seems to be that Uzumaki never really die, they reincarnate.

They do not always retain all of their memories, sometimes by circumstance sometimes by choice (sealing arts). Their large physical chakra developed to counterbalance such immense amounts of mental chakra.

Spiral symbol was chosen due to dimension-travel shenanigans, as the first reincarnator knew of it and needed no actual symbolism to guide him. Over the years many clan members gave it different meanings, obviously the large amount thought id symbolized reincarnation, spiraling down to madness and need for balance and stability.

Once reincarnated into the Naruto universe, many, after death in the verse, find themselves reincarnating there again, within the same timeline and mostly within the same clan. Uzumaki clan.

They do have offshoots of being a part of different clans, but report that they never remember being a part of the reincarnation cycle during those lives. This has lead to speculations that it is reincarnation-developed Uzumaki chakra that gives them this ability.

In this verse Uzumaki hold the enviable place of having the greatest naval capability, this does not mean that they have a lot of ships, but it does mean that they’ve managed to hold a top place with what they have.

Large part of this is due to their pirating excursions. Uzumaki pride themselves on being pirates, but at the time when they first started it was somewhat of a tough sell, nobody wanted to do it, not really. Until the fist famine set and it became the only way to provide for their island.

They were quick to take it up and quickly turned it into a thriving business that remained one of their main occupations through out the centuries as many other islands tired to grab for the same spot.

To other Clans Uzumaki are known for being tricky, while their pirating capabilities don’t really concern the mainland ninja much, their aggressive marriage arranging does.

It becomes a tradition to bring your savviest negotiators to any meetings with Uzumaki, because if you don’t, well…someone’s going home married.
