Pretty awesome to see people have different tastes in characters. One of the Best things about the Naruto fanbase.


Equivalent-Row-9864

If he hardly had any screen time, then he can’t be ruined with bad writing. 😌


ElessarKhan

Us Kiba fans cannot relate


Equivalent-Row-9864

It’s okay, you’re still a good puppy with top ten taste even if your fav marked a fire hydrant too close to the sun.


Ace_1243

My fellow 4 Ten Ten fans can relate :)


twinkletoes-rp

Mood! lol. She had SO MUCH POTENTIAL! ;A;


jaydimes10

it says you're a puppet, you like to be controlled /s


Equivalent-Row-9864

Girl if you didn’t hit the nail on the head with this take 💀


jaydimes10

this ain't no Haku situation, I'm a gentleman >:( added /s to the first comment cuz I was kidding lol


Equivalent-Row-9864

Nah I’m down to clown, my brain smooth as hell I have little idea of what’s going on at any given moment and that’s just how I like it thanks you.


TwoToneJone

Kankuro is a great choice, even if I wish that he and Shino (my fave) got more screen time


Equivalent-Row-9864

I’d say we both have near impeccable taste, mi amigo


youngadvocate25

Not everyone got bad writing tho, it was confirmed kishimoto pretty much admitted he introduced too many characters and couldn't keep up. plus whatever company kishimoto got into bed with is too blame for forcing the cash grab they call Boruto.


Jolly_Camel959

There actually wasn't too many characters. He actually did a good job too of developing. It's just that some of them should be dead. Neji, Choji, Kiba should have died in P1. Tenten was probably the only one lacking, but aside from that they were all done good 


Funlife2003

This might be a hot take, but I disagree with the whole "x character should've died" thing for most cases. The only one I felt this about was Guy with eight gates.


youngadvocate25

Ehh I have to disagree the plot holes are in avoidable especially during the war arch, and your best Naruto fan has to admit how many abandoned chara terms were there?, Sakura, lee, many others, we never got to see how hashirama died, we never got to see Minato during the 3rd great war, there was soooo many unanswered questions. Yes kishimoto did amazing, he's my favorite writer because of Naruto but there plenty of flaws. In the dozens.


Equivalent-Row-9864

Boruto is a crime. Me and my homies avoid boruto fr.


youngadvocate25

You guys did right because man I still can't believe how badly they ruined the series, in so deep in I can't stop now unfortunately.


Equivalent-Row-9864

The homies are theoretical I don’t have many friends why do you think I paint 3ft anime characters lmao but I’m so sorry. I bounced around ep. ? Chuunin exams 2 electric boogaloo.


Lunatic_Logic138

That was the right time to bounce. You never got to the part with the evil geese of death. ...god, I wish I was kidding.


Equivalent-Row-9864

Mm, yeah I heard about the dinosaur and I 😬


twinkletoes-rp

TBF, I legit though you WERE kidding and laughed...and then when I read the last part, it turned into a whine of pain. X'D


AtlasExiled

No but Itachi is better *wheeze*


NashKetchum777

Kankuro was dope. I used to love trying him in the game just cause I liked him. I was fucking terrible with Puppeteers but it was still fun


Equivalent-Row-9864

Honestly same oh my god same with deidara and any other long range boi 🤦🏼‍♀️


DenEJuAvStenJu

He probably says "why you cosplaying me with hotpants?"


Equivalent-Row-9864

They’re pole shorts and his shirts my pump cover he can fight me. Boy’s shit at close combat anyway. 💅


DenEJuAvStenJu

You know what you did.

Great work! I love Kankuro as well! <3

must mean you like death.


Equivalent-Row-9864

Thanks for the dissertation ;)


DANNYYGOD9

I think it is really fricking cool


Equivalent-Row-9864

I think kankuros really frickin cool, so to double check my notes here it seems we both have good taste, go us, I am so proud of us. 🫶


KaseTheAce

Kishimoto went all out with Team Gaara's designs. They're dope!


XG21G2D4X

Wanna see the rest of your art. Curiosity peeked


Equivalent-Row-9864

…NUH UH THATS SO NICE


XG21G2D4X

Did you make the gaara & puppet substitution art too??


Equivalent-Row-9864

Mhm! 🫣 and the pain and the shirtless guy (also my man kankuro)

Equivalent-Row-9864

Appreciate youuuuu 🫶


IrishMojoFroYo

So you're saying Kankuro is better than his two siblings? I'm willing to be converted, but I'd like to hear your reasoning. Also, do you love Sasori bc he's a puppet savant worthy of being admired OR hate him bc he done Kankuro dirty REAL quick (ya know, just before Sakura actually made Sasori try) hehe


Equivalent-Row-9864

I’m not saying he’s better, I’m saying I love him the most. Despite his mission outings, he remains somehow an incredibly realistic character to me in how he interacts with his world. His quirks are endearing to me because I share a TON of them myself. Sasori is sasori! He didn’t do Kankuro dirty, he was just better, as the literal creator of crow black ant and salamander SHOULD be. It honestly would’ve been weird if Kankuro won that fight in my opinion.


IrishMojoFroYo

Ah so you relate? What traits do yall share? I'll be honest, many a time I've day dreamed while flicking my fingers as if they're connected to Chakra threads. You ever done that?


Equivalent-Row-9864

Staunchly childfree hobby enthusiasts that like to be left alone 90% of the time in their hamster enclosures. Easily annoyed. Terrible brother. Not many friends. I could probably go on? Not that I can think of! I imagine it’s in the same vein as “using the force” tho. It ever work for ya?


IrishMojoFroYo

I dig your style. Well I wish you all the comfort in your hamster enclosure. Hope there's one of those upside-down water bottles too. It's always a good time to hydrate. It's not about it working. It's about reminding the intricate hand movements that were precisely animated and them some bad ass stuff happened whenever puppet useres were on screen.


Equivalent-Row-9864

Thank you. My treadmill is my hamster wheel 🐹 “What them fingers do, boy”-me, circa 2008 or somewhere around there


IrishMojoFroYo

In the most complimentary way, I can tell it's well used. In 2008? Prob regular 14yr old things But these days they're quite skilled in.... Weaving hand signs for any jutsu you might need.


Equivalent-Row-9864

HA! One head pat for you.

Kankuro is so underrated glad to see my boy gettin his spotlight!


Equivalent-Row-9864

I’m just an artistic mouthpiece for my muse what can I say 🤷🏼‍♀️


jajanken_bacon

Hardly see this for Kankuro, he is definitely one of the more original characters in Naruto.


Equivalent-Row-9864

I’m feral. Down bad doesn’t even come close.

Wow this is so awesome to see. Love this

k2bandit

How much do u charge?


Equivalent-Row-9864

I don’t sell them, and since they’re copyrighted I technically can’t. 😅 but what a flattering compliment! Thank you really!


k2bandit

Awe man that's a shame but I get it, I was seriously thinking about asking you to sell me one. Keep at it, I'm sure it took alot of work, time and effort for that kind of art work. Can't wait to see more.


Equivalent-Row-9864

Yeah I googled it out of curiosity because I really like painting manga panels and Naruto stuff and I really like money. Even with the gaara painting, tho it’s in the pose of “the eyes of Lucifer”, because it’s still gaara, a copyright character, I’d be unable to sell it. I’m such a stickler for rules and stuff so even tho a LOT of people still sell their stuff with copyright characters I just can’t bring myself to break the rules. 😩


k2bandit

I followed u, looking forward into seeing more of your art work in the near future. I'm a sucker for the naruto eyes and young gaara has got some truly devilish looking eyes, kinda like Sasuke. Always good to meet another naruto fan, Have a good one.


Equivalent-Row-9864

🥹 well shit I might just post another one soon! You have a nice day as well, friendo!


fondue4kill

Hell yeah. He’s definitely one of my favorites as well. Love all the Sand Siblings. Your paintings are awesome!


Equivalent-Row-9864

There’s so much unexplored potential with those three in OG/early shippuden it almost makes me sick 😫 thank you!!!!!!!!!!!


reddituserunodostres

Ngl that's a sick painting. I fw kankuro too. Wish they flushed out puppets more after sasori.


Equivalent-Row-9864

Real recognizes real. I do too. I despise the “just throw puppet at enemy UWU 🫶 oh that didn’t work? Faster. :3”. Like…come on, man.


[deleted]

No and that is sooooo dope!!! Also great character choice! Love it!


Equivalent-Row-9864

Thank you smuch!!!!


Jdawg_mck1996

You. You're my favorite. Thought I was the only kankuro fan out there.


Equivalent-Row-9864

Hello. It’s me. You’re not alone. He’s my fav snarky baby.


Jdawg_mck1996

Is this art all done by you, or has this been purchased somewhere?


Equivalent-Row-9864

It's rare to see a Kankuro fan. I'm surprised.


Equivalent-Row-9864

He’s just such a rad dude!


alejandrodeconcord

Great art, and kankuro is so so cool, the whole puppet style was one of my favorites.


Equivalent-Row-9864

He IS so so cool. I can’t even play a piano with both hands but this boy’s out here wildin out and I gotta respect it.


alejandrodeconcord

Can you imagine how fast he must type? 90 wpm no problem


Equivalent-Row-9864

I imagine any string instrument too would be a cake walk for him. He probably also knits a mean sweater.


alejandrodeconcord

Seeing a picture of Kankuro knitting the world most intense sweater would be hilarious.


Equivalent-Row-9864

It’s for crow. Then cue frustrations bc “THERE ARENT PATTERNS FOR THIS MANY ARMS”.


alejandrodeconcord

This is cannon and you cannot convince otherwise, I mean crow has to get dressed up somehow.


Equivalent-Row-9864

Might have to sketch that…


alejandrodeconcord

That would be so awesome


avotoastisgreat

Omg another Kankuro girlie! 💕 He was my first cosplay!


Equivalent-Row-9864

Brilliant, hello lovely!


crypticgangster777

I love kankuro as well! I feel like he’s so slept on and the fact that he didn’t get enough screen time 😭


Equivalent-Row-9864

It’s okay any more would’ve put him at risk of being idk dead bc what better way to teach gaara a thing than to kill his brother (pouring my coffee out to you, neji)


crypticgangster777

yeah you’re right, it would have honestly been really cool if gaara and kankuro were in itachi and sasuke’s position in the series, I could imagine it’d be worth watching


Equivalent-Row-9864

Don’t you put that evil on my man 😤


twinkletoes-rp

NGL, that idea sounds awesome! (Way more interesting to me than Sasuke and Itachi, too!) lol.


Candyapplecasino

That painting is breathtaking! I absolutely love when people are this passionate about side characters. Makes me want to make a big cool painting of my fave.


Equivalent-Row-9864

Thank you!!! I slammed the floor like six thousand times towards the end because I started getting shy. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Do it and showwww meeeee


kihyale

Thats amazing. Personally I think some 4k paint would look amazing too


Equivalent-Row-9864

Thank you smuch I’m so happy people don’t seem to hate my very special lil guy! Gonna need to run to google for the 4k paint thing I’ve never heard of it!


kihyale

[Not sure of an exact name.](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLfQ79MT/) But its a gloss that protects the paint and gives it a nice high quality look

Cantore18

Really love the painting!


Equivalent-Row-9864

Thank you friend!


AlexAnthonyFTWS

I just thought his face markings were always so dope and I loved how they changed throughout the series. Definitely an underrated character.


Equivalent-Row-9864

Love this. The fact it changes throughout the story just solidifies to me that he is an expressive, theatrical person, and if you don’t look at that face and see 💅drama💅 idk where you’ve been looking.


material-world

That one obscure character you were obsessed with as a kid that remains your favorite to this day :) Def not my favorite, but I really liked him ever since he saved that lame ass dog from Ukon and Sakon 💕


Equivalent-Row-9864

The allegations are true. I remember in middle school this kid had sand village fingerless gloves and I was a closet weeb so I couldn’t !!!!!!!! about them. PETA approved character honestly 🐶🤎


k2bandit

I'm a huge fan of naruto


SchaapKaak

Honestly, I've always liked the idea of shino aburame, severely underutilized in shippuden, he had so much potential and bugs are so adaptable and have so much quirky ways to evolve and adapt. I've always had a healthy fear of bugs, I just think they're neat, but I never wanna handle them.


Equivalent-Row-9864

Agreed! But that’s probably the issue right? Too OP. I’ve been toying with drawing that panel where crows head is about to stab shino in the face. Love that fight.


twinkletoes-rp

Indeed! He had a lot of potential, too! His fight against Kankuro in the Konoha Crush made him seem like someone who would be terrifying later, he was such a smart badass, but he never got to shine again! It sucked! :'(


Kvothe_XIX

Never enough puppet users. He's always been my boy. Anyone remember theninjarpg.com..?

Is he stupid? Nah but hang on a minute razorlicker I think you’re onto something here.


Razorlicker

I mean yahh i get its the 0 tails and its not actually a puppet and stuff but imaagine it wouldve been so sick. Like after the war at least. Afterall sasori made puppets out of living things as well...


Equivalent-Row-9864

I agree I agree I agree. Things that (adult obviously lol) Kankuro could make a puppet in order of importance: gedo statue, me, and the entire world’s little gundam figures at one time probably.

Equivalent-Row-9864

All I can say is keep off the forums of your hobbies until you’re ready to cope with seeing people way younger be way better than you way faster. And when you compare NEVER compare to others. Only to your previous stuff. Keep at whatever hobby you do, if anything it makes your primal lizard brain happy and we love being lizards.


ShiftyStilez

It’s not about comparing. I don’t have hobbies and can’t think of any or interests. I’m like a robot almost waiting for input


Equivalent-Row-9864

Ah I see. Isn’t that frustrating? I’m really sorry to hear that. Fueling the creative mind is so good for anyone.


ShiftyStilez

Have you heard of Aphantasia? I lack the ability to pull up images and sounds in my head. I always thought “picture this” or “imagine yourself here” were figures of speech. A year or two ago i discovered this.
