Nice JMC, welcome back. I've got to admit, I've missed your colorings a little bit. These 2 panels look awesome, especially animal realm Pain. I had Kain's version saved, but I thought the eyes were a little bit to tinted. Your version of this panel, looks just right though, so I'm definetly going to save it. As far as the other panel you did, I think it looks great. The background isn't the original background anymore, but you replaced it with something I think looks pretty good. The only thing I could do without, is some of the lines that go sideways, and across the panel. There's 1 that crosses inbetween Naruto's nose, and mouth that just doesn't look good there. Well anyways, despite my dislike of that 1 line, I thought this panel was worth saving to. Since there's only 1 thing I might consider a mistake, and since I haven't seen you for a while, I will start you off with 5 stars. Just to let you know though, if there was an option to give you 4 and half stars, instead of 5, that's what I would of given you. I don't think you rating should be below 4 though, so hopefully there aren't any haters around.
