Hidan

Hidan is a follower of the quite bloody and violent Jashin religion and I thought he´d probably be pissed if forced to go sightseeing on some ruined sites of blasphemous religions...
So, for him it´s a wrong turn...

After shoving around bits of paper for a while I came up with the obvious, the look of a travel log. Fortunately I had this sand-colored Color Core-cardstock, which was just perfect for the used and worn out look I wanted to achieve.
Some matching ornamental paper, ribbon and a travel tag did the rest.

Itachi

Could it be that I got manipulated by those sharingan eyes to do a layout in red-black-white? Who knows!;)
Working title of the picture was “Neo Tokyo” and I wanted to show some Akira-like background, but I haven´t been to Tokyo yet and thought a moment about painting the background – and decided against it to stick with my uniform look of the basic idea.
So there´s a picture from Potsdam and the title changed to “European Getaway”.
I used stripes and patterns with numbers as combination along with some stamps and I´m pretty satisfied with the outcome.
Cool Layout for cool Itachi^^

Pain

And this one? I probably didn´t think at all! :D
I painted our Leader-sama along with Kisame, so maybe I was still in this holiday-beach-mood? I gave him some tattoos to match his piercings, he´d be an acceptable beachboy, don´t you think?

For the layout I had already chosen my background paper and then got stuck. Finally I used the woodprint-paper to do my own version of a wooden wall with a wanted poster on it...
I think the layout lacks some contrast...

Konan

Oh well, I don´t know! I just know that I wanted to do the picture like this from the very beginning. Konan in a traditional Kimono with Akatsuki-clouds:) I used an old woodprint by Kitagawa Utamaro as reference for the pose. And the Japanese Teagarden in Hannover as background.
The title was a problem - again - and the only thing I came up with was “Big in Japan”. I need to work on this...
Especially for this layout I bought Prima´s “Tea & Silk”-paper, my absolute favorite! It´s the most beautiful paper for me, just pure love^^ So the look of this page was already decided before I even started and I like it!

Sasori

Sasori was a little problem – I knew how I wanted the picture to look but couldn´t find a good title... “Endless Sand” “Playing in the sand” (Sasori originates from a desert-like country), well, I don´t know. So I took boring “Road Trip”:)
The bg-pic is made in Turkey and it was a bus tour so it fits!

Deidara

Deidara´s so cool, un!
And because of the title “City Landscapes” he´s visiting Berlin. There´s another version with a red Asahi-sunshade in the bg, but I chose this picture because it get´s along better with the title.

So I was scrapping along and when I was finished I thought: Dammit, the papers go so well with each other but somehow they don´t match the picture... *sighs*
Shit happens, right?
Note to myself: Don´t mix steel-and-glass-architecture with vintage paper...

Tobi

Oh, well, our good boy! He´s sort of weird so I thought he might get lost in a big city:)
As a match for the old London houses in the background I decided to use some vintage papers in restrained colors.
Somehow there happened to be those airplanes, not much to do with the pic but I like them!
