timepiececlockI firmly believe that Kishimoto draws Kakashi with a mouth to get the character looking right, then just erases it at the last minute.
Because although quite tedius, in the end this wasn't as hard as I expected.
...Poor Naruto, he's asleep the one time Kakashi takes off his mask!
Sorry for the annoying label, but I'm leaving this entry public so I want to make it irritating as possible for anyone who wants to steal the image and use it. Let them spend 3 hours editing their OWN version, if they want it.
But if you're on my flist and you want an unlabelled version (with or without blue neck), just ask. :)
I'm also using this version right now too, because I just can't get enough of this picture:
For this kind of editing (and what I did with the Elysia/Envy/Edward icon from earlier this last week), with a lot of cutting & pasting, I've realized it's always better to do all your base image editing when the picture is still large, before you shrink it to 100x100. You'd be amazed how flaws just disappear when you shrink the pictures, and how hard edges become nicely softened, and how it just looks better.
ETA: ...I just realized I have only ONE out of 39 icons loaded on LJ that's solely picturing a female character.
That's weird. I should fix that. I need some gender equality in my iconning...
