Warriors of the Wind — Kagura and Temari

A while ago someone commented on how I should do a Kagura pic, and as I had never drawn her before the idea hung about in my head until I came up with this idea. I know for a fact the Kagura vs. Temari match has been done before (let's face it, who could resist?) but I wanted to do my own take on it. It's a really fun match, because Kagura (from Inuyasha), uses a fan to manipulate wind and work magic, while Temari (from Naruto) uses her fan to create wind blades very similar to Kagura's, as well as a reliable head basher a la Hiraikotsu.

It was a total pain to sketch, because I wanted action I had to have them more or less fighting: Now Kagura and Temari are predominantly long-ranged fighters, so how do you get them together on one piece of paper? And how, lord help me, do you squeeze all of Tem's monstrous fan on there as well?

Answer: Forshortening and perspective. Yeah baby.

I've put Temari in her Jounin outfit, which I'm still not 100% certain on the colors of. But it was fun. There are some continuity errors, do to me being lazy and not getting reference, but I'll let you find them on your own. :)

Pilot pen and water colors. Kagura is from Inuyasha and © Takahashi Rumiko, and Temari is from Naruto © Kishimoto Masashi. Enjoy. :heart:

P.S. This is an unofficial continuation of my Inuyasha meets Naruto series, started in my "Joys of Ramen" pic --> [link] perhaps I'll continue this with "Brothers in Pervertedness" (Miroku and Jiraiya) and "Evil Siblings Unite" (Itachi, Sesshoumaru, and Gaara). Maybe. ^^

i love the shading on your pics i realy do! classsy poses here too. i think it'd be just a little bit better if they each had a tiny bit of motion blurring appropriately done and if the one on the left (i forget names) didnt look like she was leaning on a bed or something. just my opinion though.

Awesome, Elrond-chan!!

Ha, I didn't notice as I was drawing, but yeah, Kagura does look like she's lying on a bed. Silly me. =P

Awesome job on this. I'm not too familiar with the Naruto characters (behind on my anime viewing, unfortunately), but the idea is still great. I look forward to your next installment.

Thanks, Naruto has some cool characters in it, although Temari is probably my favorite. =D

Glad you like!
