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 >:D

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!

I LOVE THIS. I also love the story! :XD:

This was one of my favorite parts -- Sasuke just pummeling the crap out of Suigetsu and Hinata going, "Wha??"

Great jersey designs, and the characters' expressions are fantastic too!
:iconbjorkubus:

I have no idea how to express my happiness. When you sent me the note with the preview, I thought you just did the logo (which I love). So I was even more crazy happy to see the whole scene. And this scene, too! I actually had this scene planned since near the beginning and was dying to write it, hence I am super excited to see it inked.

All the detail is amazing! The Kusanagi was a nice touch. Sasuke's precious Kusanagi, which was why he didn't get a new stick in the last chapter. Yes, probably... :XD: I especially like the addition of the ANBU tattoo swirl. It gives me ideas! hehe... You even went so far to put the name of her equipment on the stick. Wha... good attention to detail! Hinata is beautiful. She really manages to shine even in all that equipment and being so timid in expression. Sasuke's bloody knuckles are the icing on the cake!!

Well, just know I love it loads. I'm throwing the link on my profile now and will make sure to direct people to the awesomeness in the next update. Thanks!

And gah, I want that jersey for real.

Gah, thanks for you comment! I did figure this particular scene was pivotal to Sasuke's feelings towards Hina, other than resentment, and I really wanted to draw the scene out! :nod: Hurray, you liked the jersey designs! I suck at intricate jersey patterns so I just went for the monotone white and red with the logos, glad it was enought to satisfy. Anyway, I'm simply glad you liked it, and your welcome! Though I should be thanking you for writing the story!
