Naruto - Sadness and Sorrow

This image is based on that rather emotional song that is played in the Naruto series called, "Sadness and Sorrow".

None of the characters appear in this image, but the environments are based on certain turning points in the character's lives.

Naruto- The swing Naruto sat in while he watched all the families congratulate their kids on graduating.
Sakura- In the forest of death where she felt so helpless and cut her own hair.
Sasuke- This is the entrance to the Uchiha clan after the massacre.

While coloring and drawing this I pretty much listened to the song "Sadness and Sorrow" in a loop to keep me in the proper mood. I'm starting to feel like I need therapy now.
If you are interested this is sized to be a wallpaper for 1024x768
This was about 3 days work I believe. I mostly worked on this during bits of free time from commissions. The image is hand drawn and colored using Paintshop Pro Vr7.

I'm not sure what kind of reaction this image will get. Seeing as this picture is more about the environments and no character appears. I hope you enjoy this image and I look forward to any comments someone would like to add.
