I've been meaning to do fanart for Dreaming of Sunshine for a really long time now. There aren't words to describe just how much I love this fic, honestly, and I wish Shikako was canon.
This is the only fanfiction I've ever felt the need to do fanart for (I have a couple more planned) and also the only fic I've ever read in its entirety more than a couple of times (I'm actually in the middle of reading it for the fourth or fifth time right now, haha). Everytime I read it there a new things I notice. Even when I'm not at a point where I'm really interested in Naruto anymore, I get excited whenever I see DoS has been updated. That's seriously how good this fic is. If you haven't read it, you really should!
For the backgrounds for each of the characters, I tried to use themes based on how Shikako described their Chakra in the fic. Fanfiction doesn't allow copy/pasting so I couldn't include the passage that describes them.
But she described Kakashi's like statick electricity, Sasuke's like a burning ember, and Naruto's like the sun. She never explained her own, and I was tempted to go in the direction of earth chakra, but since she's a Nara, I ultimately decided on doing something more Shadow themed.
I'm not the most happy about the postion of Shikako's arm. T^T But I didn't notice how strange it looked until after it was colored, of course. I also couldn't find where she wore her forehead protector in any of the references for her I was using, so I just put it on her forehead, and there are also a few different designs I've seen for her outfit, so I picked the one I liked most. xD I would have asked Silver-Queen where she wore it, but I wanted this picture to be a surprise.
I want to draw Shikako with Shikamaru eventually. As well as on her own.
Shikako Nara, and the fic "Dreaming of Sunshine", belong to the lovely and extremely talented Silver-Queen
Naruto, and its characters belong to their rightful owners.
Go read the fic! You won't regret it.
