Hey! Eighteen-year-old! I have some excellent art to throw at your for your birthday! Since I have yet no fanart prize to present to you (the way I timed my contest schedule made it almost impossible for me to give you your prize on your birthday...and I was confident you would get one of the three prizes). The best I can do is present some lovely other fanart to make you smile on your special day (...night.) ~Let's get it started in here~
I found all of these pictures on a website called Zerochan, which is the BEST anime fanart site I've ever seen. High quality and gorgeous visuals, that's what they post there.
Start off with a simple and fierce picture of Sakura!
[link]Sakura calms down enough to give you a bouquet for your birthday. That text in the corner that says "Happy Birthday to Sakura" doesn't really exist. Ignore it.
[link]Naruto and Sasuke say "happy birthday" together~
[link]We've got plenty more of Sakura, but if I recall, you have a soft spot for those redhead ninja...so here's one of them.
[link]And the other
sexier, classier, lovelier redhead.
[link]And that very same guy and his blonde partner...in suits
[link]Excuse me while I toss some more mancandy in there.
[link]Just one more, un.
[link]Back to those two artists. How about a more innocent picture, one with real art and real smiles?
[link]This one is a comic, from Axis Powers Hetalia. You don't need to know one iota about the series to appreciate the comic, it's just a cute story of an outcast who finds a friend, with a heart-wrenchingly sweet ending.
[link]Not sure how strongly you feel about MinaKushi, but I include a birthday fanart of them since Minato happens to have the same birthday as you
[link]..."October and April"?
[link]Perhaps another action-packed pic. Take a guess as to which fight.
[link]Fashionable?
[link]I'll try to make this the last picture of Sakura, but in a way it seems I saved the best for last. It looks like she's breaking the whole world around her.
[link]...how about a cool poster? Are you aware of the upcoming Naruto movie, "Road to Ninja"? It takes place in an alternate timeline wherein Kushina and Minato never died, and many more changes are in this world than that. Even personality changes like Kiba becoming a "cat ninja," Gai-sensei becoming lazy and dispassionate, Hinata essentially becoming a tough biker chick (#DISLIKE), and we even get to see Sakura's parents. Like whoa.
[link]We could end with something cute. It's been a long slideshow of pictures and it's time for bed. Child!Sasuke says so.
[link]Mine is just a patched-together "gift" but I hope you got much better and significantly awesome presents today. Enjoy your eighteenth, Thirrin
