New one. African War Child

Just finished this one. African War Child. Oya critics make una comment o.

I just finished this one today. It took me 4hours to complete. Let me know what you think about it. You check out my other designs.

Omo Ogun is perfect for it.

The picture is about the african child and their struggles. The economy, standard of living is hard, so it takes a lot to survive this hard times. If you look at his face, I made some make up design, warriors wear when they go for battle. This make up depicts preparation and efforts our parent or loved ones makes to ensure we succeed. The Red Color depicts blood and violence the african child face.

So in conclusion "Growing up to be a man and successful in africa is a war every child must fight to suvive or succeed"

Parnassuss: The dullness of this thread during 'off season' is the reason why I keep suggesting we make comparisons between CHARACTERS of SIMILAR traits from Naruto and other popular animes. For now I would dare suggest 3rd Raikage vs Luffy, due mostly to their direct approaches in fighting and similar power ups. I will beg peeps not to bother if u havent seen at laest 50 eps of each ANIME, also this if u dont want to join in dont, dont be a turd and make silly comments

And I still hate One Piece

biolabee: My own is how come the inventor of the edo tensei could not break out of his jutsu when orochiwere did it
And madmara could do it when itachi undid the edo tensei

I'm S U R E he can undo it, he just waiting to hear a reason to. After all he is dead.

Yes its a peacock, but the peacock isn't the focus, though, it may seem like that but the idea is to compliment how colors can make you happy in inside.

I'm a lover of Rainbow. Its my signature.

magnificio: Ur portrayal of a 'beautiful dream' is weird <laugh> gr8 job man! Men i'm far behind u gurus in graphics! Someone HELP!!

Weird! Lol. Well sometimes to be come a great artist isn't by trying so hard to create something beautiful or creative. There certain things you need to mix in ur mind to be good and creative. The truth is No one taught me to use Macromedia Fireworks, I've never learnt with a tutorial online. U know I was just tired of not doing exactly what I want. Since I'm into Communication Strategy I just adapted my idea.


TRY and Read about Visual Metaphor and Audio Metaphor, Public Relation, Branding, and so on. Understanding dis things will help u be a better designer.

PeterReezer: @jidesp.....where in lagos i stay?....lol..we ve met before na...
rather than test renders....have you done any real project to show your current capability?

No time for now for 3D jare.

flagship: This is just lovely keep it up. enlarge thy boundaries, and look at 3d.

I do 3D actually, Its just that, i find 2D this days interesting, because nobody taught me to use Macromedia Fireworks, i learnt on my own, i know this might be hard to believe, but i haven't gone through any tutorials online. so i'm still fascinated by what i'm learning and creating at the moment and besides 3D requires a system with good processors, RAM and so on which i dont have.lol

But you can see below some of my old 3D works

First i want to apologoze for doing things off topic. I need your view on this design i just did.

I made an initial drawing on paper, but didnt follow the initial concept, because it was too complex and there were too many complex details that would only make the image meaningless. I wasn't sure what the background would be like at first, but after a while, i was able to make it potray my idea about a Beautiful Dream.

PeterReezer: lol...of course i m based in lagos na...not south africa...lol.....what of somi?

lol.. very funny. I havent seen soamy in a long time..

Amhatu: Nice Blur effect.

Thanks.

ok. cool.

@ all, the Picture depicts african women evolved from Labor, Trades, nudity to a day women. If you look above the head, you'll see faded stuffs that signifies wares african women Hawks back then and the lower part, you'll see she is naked, but this two parts i highlighted are faded which means African Women have evolved to know fashion, but no matter how much we evolve, the old ways or habits will always be there. (thats why you see most african women when they grow old, they prefer to be naked and sell petty wares).

The background shows how we evolved is a mystery and its not something we totally accept, but we had to just to feel updated, but in the end we always go back to our old habit, maybe when older...

modified..

More comments. Will explain the visual metaphor for this image soon.

[quote author=Ezy~p]killer concept , killer pix[/quote]Thanks.

I just watched the filler now and Itachi mentioned, sushi Shisui didnt die, he faked his own death, and wondered wherever. Someone clear me on this....

firestar: http://www.mangareader.net/rock-lees-springtime-of-youth/1

Here, knock yourselves out while you wait.

Hello Firestar chan....nice one...but its so lame for me.

that is not dr SID>>>>> ok i take my words back. confirmed..it is Dr Sid

I still stand by my notion that kakashi teleported shikaku and d others somewhere. #1 there was actually an up-2-date conversation between shikaku and d kakashi, #2. Kakashi pointed out, naruto's chakra feels different from before, and that he could transfer bigger stuffs now.

If the chakra sasuke felt was Naruto's, dats way-over-the-top upgrade which is a cheat

Why do I have a feeling kakashi used kamui to teleport shikaku and d rest to another location before they were killed.

Just an observation, I think we should really look into.

whatever bro..lol...na kanye i hear pass.. anyways..


Sasuke was standing at the front gate of the Village, where he had gone to school and spent so much time training. Team 7, his former team, had been on countless missions to try and rescue him. Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi sensi, even the others. Although they tried, they couldn't persuaded him to come back. It's been three years.

Sasuke had fulfilled his goals in life, except one. He had gained enough power from Orochimaru to defeat his brother, Itachi Uchiha. Sasuke had gone to the Akatsuki hideout, and killed all of them, but he had left Itachi for last. He had won that fight. Sasuke had also killed Orochimaru, beforehand. It was a week before the transformation was to take place. Kabuto was examining him to make sure that his health was in good shape. Then, when he had turned around, Sasuke took out his katana and plunged it thought Kabutos back. Sasuke then found Orochimaru.

"I see you killed Kabuto." Orochimaru had said, totally relaxed in his chair.

"Yes, and you will be next!" Sasuke then ran toward Orochimaru and the fought had begun. Swords were clinging and kicks were being thrown. After about 5 minutes, Sasuke had Orochimaru pinned. He showed no mercy. Orochimaru was dead.

The revenge Sasuke had for his brother had now turned to loneliness. He didn't know where to go. The only conclusion he came to was to return to the Hidden Leaf Village.

Which is where he stood now. The door watchers had seen him and started to get scared. Sasuke sighed, knowing that this was the reaction thathe was going to get. He had betrayed the village and killed many people from the leaf. He had even killed three men from ANBU. Sasuke walked through the streets, ignoring all the stares he was getting. He had even watched people turn and run into their houses. He wondered why no one had come to greet him.

Naruto and Sakura were having lunch at Ichiraku's Ramen Place. The old man was in the back, making more ramen. Naruto was chowing his down. He was really hungry!

"Oy, some more please!" Naruto replied, holding out his ramen dish. Sakura, with her newfound strength, knocked Naruto in the head.

"You idiot! Thats your 11th bowl!"

"Ow, ow,ow,ow,ow!!" He grabbed his head " Sakura-chan, do you have to hit so hard"

"Do you have to eat so much ramen? I hope you know that your paying for ALL of this." Sakura folded her arms over her chest.

"WHAT?! Your paying for your food, i'll pay for mine." Sakura was shaking her head.

"Actually im not, you said you were paying. That means mine and yours." Naruto had remembered his conversation with her earlier that day"

The old man had come back, after hearing the yelling. Naruto was yelling at Sakura still, while the old man was listening. Neji had come into the resturant. Neji coughed to say he was here. Naruto and Sakura turned their heads.

"Lady Tsunade has asked me to find you. She requests that you two go to her office. There is a mission that Team 7 is to go on." They nodded their heads, and left. While walking down the hallway to Lady Tsunades, they head a scream, and things being thrown around. Naruto and Sakura ran to the door. It was calm for a moment then started up again. "How do you expect them to act?!" They reconized the Hokages voice. That voice continued."You return after three years after betraying this village and expect them to welcome you back with open arms?! Can you even imagine what Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi would say Sasuke?"

Right when the two of them had heard the name "Sasuke" they gasped, and made a run for it. Naruto tripped on his way down the hallway. Lady Tsunade had heard a noise outside her door, and went to check it out. She opened the door, but no one was there. Turning back, she sat back at her desk, trying to get calm.

"As i was saying Uchiha, i grant your request to stay here, but you will be treated differently for a while. Also, you are NEVER to use any of the forbbiden jutsu in this village, understood?"

"Understood." Sasuke said, and left her office.

Naruto and Sakura were still running, and now headed towards the old training grounds. They didn't even know why they were running. After all these years, they should be happy to see him. Was it because they were surprised...or because they were frightened? After all, Sasuke had almost killed Naruto. The two jounin were still running, but stopped dead in their tracks. There, standing with one leg propped against a tree, with his head down, was none other than..

"Hey Sakura, Hey Dobe, long time no see, eh?" The betrayer of Konoha said

...Sasuke Uchiha.


If you actually think i wrote this, then you're high on a Large, long JOINT, enough to drive you crazy!

I don't think sasuke was scared. The song, Clique by Kanye West is just playing in his head. "Aint nobody messing with my CLIQUE"
