"Look what I made! But now it's all tangled. Your hair is so stupid, Kakuzu. Just like you.. Are you sleeping?"

Poor old Kakuzu will need a hundred years to comb out all the knots but that's ok because he's immortal so HE HAS TIME :’)

ARE YOU ALREADY TIRED OF SEEING THESE TWO, KIDS?! I HOPE NOT! A trade with the super lovely and mega skilled :devfjorgael: (check her out ;D). She left me a lot of room to just do whatever but she had a few really neat ideas and sketches so this was a huge amount of fun. Didn't sculpt a smiling Hidan and a long-and-wild-haired Kakuzu yet so that was exciting, too.
For this I picked a comfy pose with Kakuzu napping a little because he's OLD and Hidan is rambling about things and playing with his hair. I like sculpting them in scenes that could be canon and this might be a little teeny tiny weeny bit too cuddly for them but to me it's right on the edge ;D

Originally I wanted Kaku and Hidan to cuddle up under the Akatsuki coat but Hidan is just too damn casual and decided to move around :P It still kinda works to make them look more like a unit (and it saved my from sculpting Kakuz’s back which usually takes me seventy kajillion years to do). Two characters touching are always really hard to sculpt but at the same time they're often the most interesting poses. The difficult part here were their sizes because Hidan is smaller than Kaku but not THAT much smaller so I was fighting with that a bit. Now they're roughly the same size but Hidan's shoulders and arms are a bit slimmer.
They're sitting on an... engawa? A Japanese porch pretty much. The word on the lamp 和 means peace or harmony but really I just needed a short word to put there and this one wasn't too hard to paint *cough*

Kinda weird that Hidan was polite enough to take his shoes off! Prolly just an accident :P

Taking photos of my figurines is a nightmare you can only escape through death and even then I can't guarantee it
