Next one in the series . . . Kiba and his big sis, Hana! I hadn't planned on the patterns being so complicated, but I was inspired by some Noh costumes. Since they're in vibrant colors, the background is very neutral as a result. For some reason, I imagine Kiba would want to wear something kind of loud and cheerful . . . much like his personality! But his sleeveless kimono was really hard to do, one V at a time . . . And I hope I did okay with Hana . . . she hasn't been in the series too much . . .

So, four clans down, how many more to go? They'll all be finished before my next contest though . . . speaking of which, if you haven't had a chance to see the entries and cast your votes, midnight tomorrow is the deadline. Go here to vote if you're interested: [link] And once I've added up all the votes and posted the winners--hopefully on Tuesday--I will finally put up new comics! Thanks for the love and patience, especially with the mountain of messages I've been sitting on!

Oh, and one more thing . . . if you know why Kiba and Hana have those particular symbols, I'll give the first correct answer a request! Within reason! Which reminds me, I have to track down the person who gave the first correct answer to the Hyuuga one almost three months ago . . .
