Kisame vs. Kakuzu - Akatsuki (Request)

Spend a whole night on this drawing !

So, here you go !

I needed two attempts for your request since I totally screwed up the first drawing haha (the poses were completely different though) and I had to use waaaay too many guidelines, because I simply couldn't get Kisame's face right ..
So sorry for the long delay.
I used two different references for Kakuzu, one from his fight against Shikamaru, Kakashi and the others, and the other one from when he was in his Edo Tensei form.
For Kisame, I used a scene from his fight against Guy. Although I made some changes (added a smile and two fingers ) and made it look a bit more detailed.


I was very tired at the end, but all in all, it was a lot of fun!
So thanks a lot for the interesting request and I hope you like it!
