Had the pencil drawing in my pad forever, so I decided to finish this up. I tried to color it before, but the colors wouldn't go for it. Tried again today, and it looks halfway decent now. Hooray.

This is the afterproduct of reading way too many Naruto fanfics. And not in a bad way. Many of them shed light onto Naruto's childhood, and I'm surprised that nobody has touched onto this particular subject. Why exactly does Naruto have such a good relationship with the Ichiraku Ramen stand's owner and daughter? What could have happened to make Naruto so fond of ramen?

Heck, I might even write my own fanfic for this. The caption of this drawing is something like, "You'll give me ramen, oji-san?" I imagined that if somebody offered to give anything to the poor boy, he would probably burst into tears. And thus this. Well... at least I think it's a nice story.

Coloring was really simple and really messy. Used a lot of multiply. Ran it through the texturizer once to make it a little bit more interesting.

FULL VIEW, PLEASE! It looks really bad in thumbnail.
