Description
So, one of the new projects I am working on dubbed 'Princess Rescue' set in a fantasy world akin to RPG fantasies (which will be tied in with humour XD) now has the first set of Character designs.The theme is action/adventure/Harem/comedy/hentai.
These are the Characters that Will feature in the first Chapter.
THe top row are the Main designs of repeating Main character (Naruto, Sakura, Hinata and the mysterious Black Knight, Lord Delitor)
The bottom Row are characters that will feature in Chapter one, but may not return, as well as use of the general costume design for the warrior sects that may appear, or be seen as background characters.
I still need to design the look of the Hyuuga guards, Th Black knights guards (that will occur as the common 'goons' throughout) and another character based on Raikage A. Who will be mainly mentioned/seen in flashbacks and expository scenes. Again, mainly in Chapter one, with a few references in various following chapters.
A few notes.
TEMPLARS - I use the name, but I dunno if they will be called that. The idea in my head currently is that they are White mage warriors, excelling in both defensive and healing magics, but also proficient in fighting, but like the namesake order, they are also religion based. They are not defenders of a single land, but serve against evil, and practioners of their faith. Basically, every member trains to be a priest, warrior and healer. Some get more proficient at one than the others, so they have 'school masters' Those proficent in all three hold the highest ranks.
Lord Delitor is about 9/10ft, hence there being a silhouette of Hinata next to the design to show height.
ALL THE DESIGNS are counted as rough as I still need to fine tune any details they have, like patterns, iconography, symbols (like the 'Templar crest').
PLEASE FEEL FREE to comment on what you like and don't like, or if any need improving, or you feel could use an addition (I am expecting someone to say 'put spikes on Delitor to make him look evil'. But I tried that and I felt it was a bit too much.)
Inspirations taken from games such as FinalFantasy, Inifinite undiscovery, Legend of Zelda, and others.
Personal NOTE.
These designs and some of the concepts I have come up with (histories etc) that surround them are pretty detailed and vast, and Tsunades design, I feel is a shame to have in just one, chapter, with the possibility of one or two flash back appearances. Thus, I keep feeling about dropping the hentai scenes and making this just a full and pure adventure comedy. But, I have talked it over with my co-writer in this though, and the feeling is (and yes I do agree) we have put a lot of effort in to the story to simply remove all the adult scenes.
Oh and by the way, it is currently 20 chapters long.
That being said, I am still tempted to make a clean version that eradicates the Hentai, though possibly keeping some Ecchi elements as a side comic either in the style of Onaji (long strip) or NHC (serialized full comic) But, I think it would be hard doing the same story twice, so I would probably change the characters appearance to NOT make them Naruto versions, and more Originals. This would in fact make the story longer too as I could do more, and add more elements/plots than I would in the Hentai version.
I am not giving away spoilers for this comic concerning relevant plots, so please don't ask which characters might appear, and such. All I can tell you is, that some of the characters will not all be 'human' in the normal sense (i.e some will be elves/succubus/etc)
Well, i hope you like the designs so far, Will make some cleaned versions when I get the time, and ready to make changes.

Looking forward to it, Matt! Hopefully any of the following thoughts can help you out!
For Sakura's weapon, if you can't decide on a sword or staff, why not a spear? Heck, why not a version of that awesome zweihander of Tsunade's? Isn't Sakura meant to be her apprentice, after all?
I think the biggest problem I have with the 'Templars' as you have them designed now is that their namesake and iconography are/were more focused on the crusading/warfare aspect of knighthood - The Knights Templar were founded following the sacking of Jerusalem in the Crusades in order to protect Christian pilgrims, and ONLY Christian pilgrims, from highwaymen and heathens, which they did by oppressing the locals. Similarly, while the St. George's Cross is associated with protection, it's generally protection against monsters like dragons, and crusading for Christendom, which is why you see a lot of Crusaders wearing that heraldry in period stuff. St. George himself was also kind of a dick, given that he refused to slay the dragon in his legend until the people it was threatening agreed to convert to Christianity.
I like the concept behind the organisation, but given their priorities and methods I think a more appropriate inspiration might be the Knights Hospitallers, another real-life knightly order which actually did quite a lot of what you have in mind for them to do. While they also participated in the Crusades, they were specifically founded to take care of sick and wounded pilgrims, and consequently employed a lot of physicians as well as knights and priests. IIRC, they also didn't discriminate, thanks to that wonderful Hippocratic Oath.
As for symbology, well, the St. John's and St. Andrew's Crosses are more more closely associated with hospitals and healers than St. George, though, ironically enough, a traditional symbol of medicine is the snake, thanks to Asclepius. Wouldn't that be grand?
(Speaking of irony, I'm pretty sure that 40k's Black Templars Chapter iconography is based on the Hospitallers. They certainly share the same white St. John's Cross on a black field.)
Also, I don't know if you've ever played Tales of Symphonia, but I just thought of an amusing, if paraphrased, justification that Naruto could use for his giant sword, at least initially/half-jokingly, depending on his maturity level in your story.
"If a regular sword has an attack power of 100, then a sword that's twice as big has an attack power of 200, right?"
TL;DR: The Templars' name has a lot of baggage that an order of white mages/paladins might not want, try the Hospitallers. Also, St. George was a dick, don't use his cross.

I forgot about them too, and I've been reading about both in the fanfic A Demon Among Devils.
Though I do know that line you're using. I'm a big ToS fan, Sheena and Lloyd all the way.

No, so far Sasuke might only appear in a flashback due to his... character, in this.

That might be the name of his 'limit break' XDD But it's how to do it visually as a finishing move for this new theme.
