This is the second shounen ai drawing I've posted here on DA. My first one, a drawing of Seifer and Squall from FF8 was so well-received, that I'd like to share with you a drawing of Shikamaru and Neji from Naruto.
I've read several really good fan fictions about this pairing, and I'm hooked. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of Shikamaru and Temari, or even Shika with Ino, since in Shippuuden, I find her character quite likeable, less shallow.
However, I have so many reasons why I think Shikamaru and Neji go so well together, but that's neither here nor there.
I drew this in the fall, and I realize the coloring's rather...uh, crap...and I KNOW Shika's head's a bit...off...but I think if I get a chance, I'll try reworking this one with my tablet in the future. It looks better in person, but seeing it scanned, I think it might have to be scrapped...I don't know. I just really love this, and though I've seen some great ShikaNeji art, there really isn't a whole lot out there. So this is me giving this pairing some fangirl love!

Oh! Also, the original title of this is:

Dear Temari,
The boy is mine.
Love,
Neji


LOL!!!

Ok, I'm a fangirl nerd.
Shikamaru and Neji belong to Kishimoto-sama
