Christmas present for ~aFlawedDesign! Fanart for her fanfiction "Behind the Mask". I hope you like it!!

Hinata Hyuuga, high school hockey player and the first female to be drafted into the Junior Major Hockey League, has a confrontation with another player from an opposing team on her first game. Not knowing what to respond to the words he’s throwing at her, she retreats back towards her net, hoping that her cousin Neji, captain of the Konoha Heat, would come and save her. He doesn’t come, but instead the steadfast, stoic, and—I must say—very mean alternate captain Sasuke Uchiha steps up and defends the team’s new goalie. But why would he do that? She thought the dark haired boy hated her...

_{Paraphrased, of course >}

Oh my saucegay, I want that jersey!!

Nghh, fanart of aFlawedDesign's awesome AU hockey story (link above)! After taking a streneous test at school, I worked on this the rest of yesterday, and was very uberly proud that I finished before midnight! And then when I was resizing the pic... I forgot Saucy's bloody knuckles! A;sldkfj, that was important to the scene!

Lol. Notice their sleeves and Sasuke's hockey stick? I tried to put in a few of the original Naruto symbols in for the fun of fanart. I certainly had to put in Sasuke's Kusanagi and the ANBU tattoo just had to be on their arm! The Konoha Heat symbols are a total spin from the Calgary Flames logos! Link! Hinata’s gear I had fun working with. But the thing that ticked me off was her left glove! She so had a lacrosse net thingy as a hand, so I told Sasuke to move and cover it for me with his shoulder, hahahah!

Oh yeah, and I've rightly decided Hinata is so not going to wear her mask in this picture!

Anyway, this was the first time I’ve done fanart for a fanfiction, and I have the writer to thank for that! Drawing hockey gear and jerseys were such a plus to this project, and I had so much fun! I haven’t been following hockey much anymore, but this story got me back, and I was actually watching a game while colouring this last night, heheh!
