Description

 This is Hyyuga Hinata from the naruto series. This drawing turned out so well, and has a lot of meaning to me.
This is the first fanart I've done completely original without largely referencing other's works. I love how her expression and hair turned out, and the background was fantastic. I think the twin lion fists turned out iffy, but I'm proud I did it this well. I drew the entire thing with a combination of charcoal stick and graphite pencil. I love her beyond belief so naturally I love this.
The title comes from a line of the song "All we see of stars are their old photographs." Everytime I hear it I think of Hinata.

This drawing started out as my angry reaction to this ENTIRE fandom. (EXTREME RANTAGE AHEAD). I love Hinata, so I went through this site to find fanart of her. And while there were many fanarts by people claiming to be her fans, I've yet to figure out WHY EXACTLY they seem to be only capable of drawing her ample chest either half naked or completely exaggerated. I understand fan service, but when you CLAIM to love her for her inner Strength and struggles yet ONLY create work that show her as what is basically a walking breast, SOMETHING IS WRONG. People seem to think that female characters are only pretty when half naked or drawn with over done curves. And so people keep using what I call the "boobs and bikini" method. And I'm sick of going through this site and seeing her and other female characters in wedding dresses, bikinis, naked, pregnant, skimpy outfits, and bra's/panties 80 PERCENT OF THE TIME. I get it, she's beautiful. TRUST ME, I think so to. But I also understand that she's a NINJA, SO DRAW HER LIKE ONE. DRAW HER USING JUTSU, DRAW HER DIRTY AND FULLY CLOTHED, DRAW HER WITH MUSCLE AND NOT DELICATE SKIN, DRAW HER IN NON FEMININE AND KICK BUTT POSES, DRAW HER LIKE YOU CARE ABOUT HER FOR MORE THAN HER BODY. 
And that thought process started this drawing. And yes, I used pictures of male kick boxers as refrence for this. I know her pose is anything but feminine. I know it doesn't do justice to her body type. I know that making her yell made her mouth look funny. I know that she doesn't look the most beautiful that she ever had. AND I DON'T CARE. SHE LOOKS POWERFUL, SHE LOOKS STRONG, AND ABOVE ALL SHE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE YOU WOULD RATHER RUN FROM THAN FIGHT. ENOUGH SAID.
