The Desert Flower

This is going to be a cover for when Mizu moves to the sand village to train. She becomes friends with the sand siblings but more towards Gaara. She tries to show him about the bonds of friendship and to help him make more friends. The purpose of the title is to represent Gaara and Mizu. During her time training she would help the Gaara and his siblings on some missions. I thought that Desert Flower would be their tag team nickname. The desert obviously represents Gaara and the flower represents Mizu because she's called the white lotus of the leaf and she's also called the lost flower  I wanted this image to look like it came out of the manga series  so it was challenging to turn my colored image into the black and white color scheme. I hope this looks authentic enough  

I got the pose from a Naruto dvd case that I got from my cousin two weeks ago as an early christmas but I lost the original picture. As i looked for the picture on google and I found an artist on deviantArt who did an art piece with the same pose. Here's the link: xsweetielovee.deviantart.com/a… I want to point out that I did not steal the image from this artist.
