DOGS: NAOTO Slashdanceby ~axl99

I *beep*ing loved how the pose turned out here as I normally don't get the chance to do anything this dynamic.
Kept the background nice and simple so she stood out better. Played around with some made up textures for her clothes, it was loads of fun trying to decide what might suit her best.

I went for the pinstripe jacket look because I'm silly like that.

[Just for the lulz I wanted to title this as "OMNISLASH" but then it'd be too silly.]

I've had a couple comments over at Otakon 2008 how she resembled Saya from Blood+, which didn't actually hit me till they mentioned it. I guess all it'll take to sell this as Saya would be a pair of bright red eyes.

Random note: I wanted to find a Saya cosplayer and have her pose with this print in her hands. It'd be hilarious!

Naoto is the most kick-ass woman ever.

Raghraghragh DX I'm sure everyone has said this but, super awesome! The pose is so cool, and it suits her too so it works out so well. I love the mix of pattern textures on her clothes, and her face is great.

I'm such a Naoto fangirl <3.

Thank you very much! I don't see enough Naoto fangirls so this is a nice pleasant surprise - Oh my goodness. I *heart* your avatar. It's a mini Naoto! So cute!
