The Ninja Story cover fanart

This, you guys, is a cover page for my crossover fanfiction The Ninja Story. A friend of mine from deviantART, Zabukawaii, drew it. And I coloured it, hence the awesome colours. XD Because I could NEVER dream of drawing these two in an epic pose like they are here!

Anyhow, it's Arnold and Helga, duh, in Ninja wear (which will come into play later on in the story), and yet still maintaining their canonical style clothing. It really symbolizes the crossover aspects of the story all right! I also gave her free range to draw them as she wanted, so that's why she drew them anime style. She pulled it off pretty well, I have to say.

For those of you who don't know, Helga is using a summoning scroll and streaking her blood across it in order to activate it. That's why her thumb there is smearing blood.

Doesn't Arnold look so cool with his two katanas? Yeah, that was a pretty cool idea.

And all the sakura petals are heart shaped! xD

So, enjoy, people. Enjoy the epic image of Arnold and Helga anime-styled and kicking ninja ass with their ninja skills. X3

Drawn by my friend, and coloured by yours truly.

Peace out, Holmes.

NEAT!

The blood thing is making me cringe a little... but that's just because I'm bloodaphobic.

P.S. Helga looks HOT. XD

OH! I forgot to say...

The colors are radical!!!!

Thank you, Singr. X3 I tried sticking as closer I could to their canonical colours, but it wasn't always easy finding the right tone. But I did what I could!

Oooh, then you have Hemophobia! Ouch. That's okay, I have Apiphobia and Arachnophobia. Bees and spiders!!! Get 'em away!!!!

Hemophobia?

Hmmmm... curse you for your accuracy! But really, how many people are actually gonna know what that means? Bloodaphobic is so much more straigh forward. But you can't beat the words that are actual... words, I suppose.

I think I'm rambling... I'm not sure... but I think I am...

Anyway, you did a great job on the colors! Don't be modest!

We all bow down to your perfection in coloring in the lines! I mean really, do you have any idea how hard that is for some people (Me)?!

Accuracy? xD Awwww! You're cute! I actually just whipped out a list of phobias about what Bee and Blood phobias were! I'm a dunce, I gotta look up a lot of things. X3

But anyway, thank you, Singr! It took a while, I did it digitally, with a computer mouse, with a very basic colouring program that's just a couple levels above MS Paint, which works fine for me. I'm glad you like the colours. >w<

*Lets out sigh of relief*

I was afraid you did actually know that right off the bat, because if so... I'd feel stupid. :/

I have to look up a lot of stuff, too. I mean, you have no idea how much stuff I have to look up... at all.

XD

Colors! YAY! Without colors... everything would be white... or gray... or... Aren't those colors too? Eh, maybe not white... but... AGH! CONFUSION!

Well, point is, things would be rather dull. -_-

I think it looks great!

Can I make a request? I need shading practice, would you mind letting me touch up the colors a bit and add some shading in? (It's totally cool to say no, I won't be offended. I'm hard to offend.)

Thank you!

And wow, really? Well, sure! If you want to, go right ahead! I can't shade to save my life, so if someone out there wants to give it a try, be my guest!

I had a day dream once where I was a ninja. Somehow I ended up standing on top of my desk chair holding my ruler like a katana. Everyone laughed pretty hard when Ms. Slovak told me to take my seat and save it for recess.

XD Oh my! I think I may have missed that episode... That's too cute! Then I guess we weren't too far off the mark. 8D

I love it! the drawing is well done, and this anime version looks great.
The FanFintion seems very interesting, but I can not imagine violent arnold! xD

thanks for sharing this!

Thanks!

XD And no no, he's like one of the good ninjas who only attacks when provoked.

Singr you're too much. xD You're right though, a world without colour would be just sad.

As someone once said, without inspiration, an artist's sentiments are dulled. ...At least, I think that's how it went.

Wow... I'm not sure but that sounds like something a smart person would say. I like it. That's gonna be my new catch phrase! I'll even record it on my phone, and it will be my ringtone!

Thanks so much for the material!

OH! ARNOLD! WE LOVE YOU! <3 <3 <3

Have fun with it! 8D

And totally seconded. We all love Arnold! ^w^ <3 In a totally platonic and fun and friendly way! I'm a grown woman after all! XD

I'M NOT! DATE ME! XD

I'm joking... You're really not my type. Besides, I picture you with someone a little more... pinkish. XD

No, I love you in a more... boy band type way. XD

LOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVE YOU!

Man, I look cool.

Who's the weird chick in the background? It's not Little Miss Perfect, right?

I'm quite glad you approve.

No way! That's not Lila! Ah, don't worry about her. She's just...ya know, someone who happens to help you and Arnold in the story, ya know. She's no one in particular. Nope! Not at all.

Is she that Casana chick? I can't quite remember if she had brown hair or not.

Maybe. ;3 Could be. Probably. Yes, it is. X3 It's a little misleading since she doesn't wear the cloak in the story, but who cares really.

I added some highlights to their hair. It did not work very well with the...person in the background >.< But thanks for letting me practice shading on your work!

O: Oh. Em. Eff. Gee.

You just made an awesome piece of art even better! What great shading! It looks like it should have been there all along! (I can't shade to save my life, unfortunately Dx)

Well thank you so much for taking the time to shade it, I'm glad we could be of help in practicing! It looks fantastic. It really does. I'm going to show it to my friend, who drew it, so she can see it too! 8D So thanks a lot!

Holy shnoppets!

It looks INCREDIBLE! Excellent shading! EXCELLENT!

Aww, thanks, but it always helps to have great artwork to start with. Your friend drew an excellent picture!

I guess so! I did colour a great piece after all, and then you shaded it. Ah yeah, my friend did a good job. 8D
