TG: Soaring Together

My Contest Entry for

Hidden Lantern Village: 5 Tier Celebration!     I told you I had big plans to kick off our Year anniversary - I told you, but you didn't believe me.
I'm gonna go over the rules now before you guys look at the prizes so that you don't skim over them:
Rules and Conditions:
     As with anything, we gotta set a few Ground Rules to make sure everything runs smoothly.
1. You must have been a Member since at least January (6 Months Ago).
     I say this because - This is a Reward for those who stuck around with us since the beginning,
while six months ago isn't the beginning by any means, that is the start of the new Tōrōgakure.
     This is a "Thank you" to those who stuck with us, through hard times and good times.
A Reward to the brave shinobi who fought during the Invasion of the Masked Men so long ago,
A memoir to those who've passed on - And a Celebration for things to come in the future.
   



Can I just say BOOYA!!!!JBFOQI:NDAILNDNA

I did not think I was gonna finish this before the due date. But whooooooooo Those late hours into the night paid off!!!!! <3333333333333

Come to me my kites!!!!!!FBQ*)OIFafwf


32 Characters, including my own. So cray cray. At first I thought eh not many people will probably comment. Eh I don't want to exclude anyone. Eh Lets see if I can get more people to want to join for fun xD 

I ended up adding alot of people's second, maybe third characters! (can't remember) I just didn't want to exclude anyone. After working on this, I started to not really care about doing it for the contest. I started to have fun just drawing alot of people's amazing characters ;A; I would've added more lol
 When I first started to line I didn't think it was going to be that bad. about and hour into it with just outlining one person (was watching tv the same time) I started to fall apart lol. Coloring felt the same. Shading and lighting was ehhh. Afterwards I just started touching up the background. The sky was originally Blue, but I thought a sunset look would look pretty <333

Alright! Now I must try to answer the Contest questions! ♥

Torogakure is many things to me. A place to take a chance, A place of growth, a place of healing, a family (heckas lame I kno). I remember when I first discovered the group it was a week old and I couldn't look away. My first thought, ' Oh and RP grou.. Ehh' (lol) I started looking around and snooping every corner. Then moved on. But I kept going back to it everyday. After a couple of days visiting, I start thinking if I ever try to join, I'll probably get kicked out shortly after. So I just waited and stalked the group more. Finally after a week of stalkinggg I decided to give it a shot and make a app. Was so stoked after chatting with the founder and getting accepted. After joining I thought to myself 'Oh damn. What do I do now? I'm no good starting conversations with people'. But after a short while and made my character's profile, comments came in and I got to meet some incredible people. I got to make some awesome friends and get involved more socially. I'm not as nervous or super shy with talking to people as I was before and I got to improve my art greatly! By learning from the amazing artists in the group, from friends, by going and experimenting on my own. My creativity and thought process grew quite a bit. Floods of ideas would flow and become an inspiration (though don't always make it onto a canvas LOL) Torogakure also helped me wheel away from reality when it would start banging on my door. It made me happy to visit the group on a daily basis and it washed away any sad or angry thoughts I may have had before. I got to start loving and taking art more seriously. I gained a nice group of friends and became close to some <3 Torogakure is many things. It's my own lantern! that felt lame to say lol

Torogakure is to my Characters; Kaito, Jun and the new little one, Yagani, the light of their life. They're experiencing life in all of its aspects. Individuality/finding yourself, friendship, hard work, suffering, loss, pain, healing, acceptance, growth. Kaito losing his family young, was very shy, had a few friends and a rival/idol. Was able to slowly work his way to catch up to the others who were far ahead of himself, and compete to their level, experience thrills and dangers, festivals and friendship. Losing friends and sense. But was able to recover and push himself, began to realize and push his feelings for someone towards the light, matured and become a man. Jun growing up with a small loving family, was cynical and didn't trust anyone, didn't have alot of friends and didn't work hard. But after being apart of a team, he slowly started to open up and accept people and wanted more people around him. After experiencing loss, he wanted to be able to protect the people closes to him and his homeland. Yagani is new and not officially in the group yet, so there's not much I can say about what Toro is to her.

I feel my answers being over done and kind of cheesy in a way lol.

Hope this explains what Toro is to my characters and I. It's rolling on to be 5:30 now x.x
