Artist's Comments

Ah, Naruto AUs. Aren't they fun? Still, after a while, one notices that nearly all of them follow one of these themes:

1) A high school.
2) An all-boys high school.
3) An all-boys high school for magicians.

So I figured, if I'm going to do some AU-y antics, why not set them in a place rarely ventured by AU-ers: A grocery store?

And so this picture serves as an introduction to that "Grocerverse", as I have so lovingly dubbed it. :B

This is awesome, even if I sort of hate SasuSaku <3

SO WHY ISN’T SASUKE? >:U
:iconleneypoo:
I really love the shading in this picture? How did you manage to work with gradients like that?
:iconhinoneko:
Mm. I'm more of a NaruSaku person myself . . . but hey, Sakura crushin' on Sasuke makes for a cute picture! x3
:iconhinoneko:
Careful use of the lasso-select tool and a whooooole lot of trial-and-error, I would say. x3

Also, there is this thing I do, which is probably more apparent in the full-full-size version of this, which is perhaps twice as large as the one here . . . I set down one light color, then put a darker color within that light one, and then shade within the dark color . . . sort of like a color-outline within a line-outline, or some such? :]
:icondisturbedmediocrity:
Sasuke looks like he's talking about baseball or something, and Sakura looks like that air-headed bimbo that just eats it up.

Sasuke: "Yeah, when I hit that home run, the crowd went wild."

Sakura: "Really, Sasuke-kun?! That is soooo interesting!"

:D

98% of Deviants don't know the difference between "your" and "you're." If you're one of the 2% that wants to punch 'em, put this in your sig. :evillaugh:

Haha, I like. Lots of attention to tiny details of things you'd find in a grocery store...and so far as I can see, vaguely canon interactions. Which is often lacking in an AUverse, as you no doubt know.

...say, is Tsunade on the cover of one of those magazines? *squints* Or is it just someone blond?
:iconhinoneko:
NaruSaku~! Socutesocutesocute. x3
:iconhinoneko:
Haha! It could very well be something like that, yes! x[)
:iconhinoneko:
Mm-hm. I love grocery stores. It's so weird . . . grocery stores, hospitals, and airports, those are the three places that ALWAYS manage to fascinate me! So of course i pick up on some nuances here and there.

Plus it's nice to make people hunt for visual Easter Eggs. x[)

Oh, I know! So often they'll take one aspect of a character (ie, Lee is jumpy.) and ignore all the other aspects. (Lee is also a sweetie, determined, etc.)

I myself plan on keeping things fairly close to canon . . . and, in some areas, obscenely different. x[)

Mnope, just some lady on that magazine there. Though Tsunade does factor in! x3
