Because Sakura needs some lovin' too.

I'm honestly getting sick of all the Sakura-bashing I see going on. The people who hate her seem to hate her over the most pedantic reasons. Because she used to be a bitch (so did Gaara, but no one still holds it against him, do they? See, there's this thing called character growth...). Or they say she's ugly (¬_¬). Or that she's weak (hah!). Or that she's too hung up on Sasuke (when actually, Naruto's obsession is worse than hers). The main problem people seem to have with her is that she dares to have breasts and a vagina.

Not cool, people. Not cool.

I personally think Sakura's one of the more credible characters. She's extremely useful, she cares deeply about ALL her teammates, and she'd rather die than stand back and do nothing. She's realistic, which is more than can be said for most other characters, as all her flaws are very human. And as I said, she needs some acknowledgement too since we can't all be born a genius or with a monster in the belly. Besides... she kicks ass! XD


Anyway, why an axe? Well, she's been featured several times wielding axes, and this particularly one is based off the axe Naruto is carrying on the cover of volume 33. It had her name on it, so I'm guessing she's allowed to borrow it. Also it kinda represents her fighting style... which is very smashy-smashy. The word on her arm is her favourite phrase.


Tools: Photoshop CS. No custom brushes or any other program used.

Awesome work, the colouring is excellent and the character looks great! And much love for the giant axe.

Yeah, Sakura does need some love. Maybe it's because people think the stereotype of a ninja is male? I have no idea. Chauvenist pigs! ....of which I am one. Damn >>

Sakura has earned my respect throughout the series, despite her flaws!

Go SAKURA! *cheers*

very awsome. the colors, pose, everything is perfect
:iconeevachu:
I will be honest... I am a recovering Sakura hater. My first impression of her is the reason for this is simply:

her hair.

The pink really threw me off. After the whole sound ninja fight where it gets hacked off though she really started to grow on me. Plus, theres the fact she freakin' bit a guy, definite brownie points there. The 3 year costume change solidified my fan status for her.

I love that freakin' axe BTW. Very nice.

This is a really awesome picture of Sakura!
I agree, people bash her to much, personally she's practically my favorite character out of all anime.
THey say some would do different in her situation, but how would they know, they've never been /her/ or in /her/ situation.
Sorry ranted xD

But awesome work! Love the axe! Detail is very well done! Good job! :clap:
