See, I haven't forgotten about the realism portraits!

Gaara being in the manga again, and just being generally awesome, made him next on the list.

Gaara is one of the more cartoonish looking characters in Naruto, so I had to do a few specific things to change him into a realistic looking person:

- He's an adult here, so he's lost some of the babyfacedness.
- He has pupils, though not solid black. How else can he see?
- That kanji on his forehead? It's a scar, not a tattoo, and not bright red.
- The darkness around his eyes is not makeup, its an effect of lifelong insomnia, and possibly natural markings from his raccoon demon.
- He has eyebrows. Like many people with super-red hair, they are blond and very faint, unnoticeable from a distance. He also has blond eyelashes.
