Today, we live in an age where we can find extreme quality fan arts. These types of creations, based on all kinds of things, represent the devotion that a part of the community feel towards series, characters, video games, or any other cultural phenomenon. For this reason, being Naruto and all its variants one of the most popular manga / anime franchises in history, we can find a multitude of fanarts. In fact, one of the most recent creations that has amazed us is this realistic portrait of Pain, one of the powerful members of Akatsuki.
Reddit, one of the most popular forums today, is usually the point of origin for many of these posts, and so it is in this case. The user ErjonOsmanaj, in a thread dedicated to everything related to the Naruto universe, is the author of said portrait, which, as we can see below, enjoys great detail with touches of realism, all done in a charcoal portrait. The truth is that it is difficult to look away from such an accomplished drawing.
Recently we could see hyper-realistic portraits of characters like Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, as well as tattoos that any fan of the saga would be happy to do. There is no doubt that everything related to this is most inspiring for many artists.
Of course, everything goes by taste, since many others opt for creations based on other things, such as The Simpsons or Dragon Ball. What is clear is that all these franchises have legions of followers all over the planet who are capable of enriching much more the community that surrounds them. Fandom is usually news whenever some negative and toxic event takes place, but with creations like these it is very clear that fan communities also provide positive experiences.
