I'm a big fan of Naruto. It's an anime and manga for all you non-believers
Anyway, I thought I'd bust out my Photoshop skills and do some free-hand portraits of some of the characters. I know they aren't completely original (since they came from pictures I found on the internet), but I definitely didn't copy and paste, use shapes, lines, tracings, or anything of the sort. Just did it with a mouse. 56k users, I salute you.
