Description
.-----------------------
I feel Sasuke has always been backed into a corner, by his circumstances and sadly by himself. These feelings of helplessness, anguish, sadness, anger, hate; I wanted to put it all into him, and all of him, in this picture.
I'm unsure whether I managed to achieve that, but I felt I needed to draw this.
And skiess oh how I looveeeee painting skies. So challenging, yet satisfying.
But OTL yesh there are mistakes T_T As usual I realised it too late T_T

Listen to this song. The main song I listened to while painting this. Best live version, controlled vocals, beautiful acoustic guitars, heart-rending, very, very, very heartfelt.

You know what? I really like his nose for some reason. It doesn't look characteristically like in the manga, but it gives his face a pleasant edge. Somehow. He looks really consumed with aggression and resignation. I also like the lines on his clothing. I once read in one of the data books that his collar symbolizes purity/innocence, and in this light the creepy dark lines - trailing towars his chest like vine - get a whole new meaning. Ugh it's almost 3 a.m. and I should be sleeping instead of musing about Sasuke.

That's fine - keep on musing about Sasuke, I like your thoughts
Thank you for the comment! I did think his nose was a little bit too big while painting this, but I guess it does give character
Ah, resignation. That was EXACTLY the thing I was aiming about in this piece. You do not know how happy I am, to see that you noticed this.

Thank you so much, dear!
I'm so glad you see what I wanted to express here- I wanted to express some negative emotions without the use of colours normally associated with such emotions (black, red), so it was quite an experiment too

Epic Wyn!
This's a wonderful piece, and I love, love, love it so much. Just quietly, slowly observe and FEEL what it tells you... I don't know how to describe it, but especially after listening to the music, it seems as if I could see the drawing, and see right through you, what you've been thinking, feeling when you were painting it ^^

Kiviiiiiii
I love love LOVE your comment and your description of how this piece made you feel. I planned this after reading the Naruto chapter where Itachi revealed that he initially intended to place a hypnosis in Sasuke to not harm Konoha. I just felt...sad for Sasuke then. I felt he was being pushed around, and at a time where he should really take hold of his own life, it seems like he has no control at all. 
Thank you Kiviiiiiiiii
and sorry for the late reply...Jeez the nomading lifestyle is really taking its toll on me

I understand what you're saying. Each and everytime he seems to start to move on, someone has to come and force him back onto the path of revenge. The fact that Sasuke's fighting on a lie saddens me even more. Like wreiad said, I don't want him to be a bird that flies north instead of south and never comes back..
We share the same view and that's how it's so easy for me to comprehend the emotion in your drawing

Wow! Yes! It isn't fair with him! He had to feel too much!!!! Poor baby!! I think no REAL person can feel so much and remain sane after! What Sasuke is doing currently is right in a way!!!! Poor Sasuke!!!!

Yeah, I do pity him too
Thank you for the comment!

You did succeed. I can see it in his eyes and in the shadows around them. I feel so bad for him. He has suffered so much and is just drowning in his grief and anger. The lines on his shirt remind me of roots moving to envelop him... consuming him. How his anger and his hate have consumed him and changed him, and how he's losing himself. The lines on his lips and the cold numbness in his eyes - that even the fire of his sharingan can't disguise - show how lost he has become.
I love his hair and the different colors you used in it. The sky is gorgeous - love how the dark clouds contrast against the blue sky... so much like Sasuke.
This is incredibly beautiful work with so much emotion. I really did get all 
And, that's such a great song - thanks for the link!

Thank youuuu. You always post the most thoughtful of comments, zhusanna!
I admit I wasn't really trying to put any emotional impact in this picture while I was doing the lineart (instead I tried that while colouring). While doing the lineart I was more interested in going for a textured look- hence the detailed waist-rope (?), shading and those roots on his top. So it came as a pleasant surprise when you said it's like the roots are moving to envelop and consume him. I really like your description of it!
I loooooovvveeeeee painting skies. But I think you know that well enough by now
The song is amazing right? I love the guitar solos- at 2.22 and one at the end. They convey so much emotion.
p/s: Sorry for the late reply
