EDIT 12-28-07: Edited the black lines a bit to make them lighter. Makes a world of difference; the entire pic seems brighter now because of it. Check out the old versus new (old on top, new on bottom) here: [link]

Ahhhh, I lost my file for this entirely when Photoshop crashed, and I had saved a semi-complete jpeg version I wasn't really happy with... and in the end, I'm glad I lost that file, because this version is sooooo~~~~ooo much more along the lines of how I really wanted to draw this.

This piece was inspired by the idea that Sasuke is associated with the hawk, (and fire) at least according to the manga. Since Itachi seems to be affiliated with crows, it makes you wonder what Sasuke's true summon would have been if he weren't corrupted by Snake-man first.

The lineart for this is up for grabs if anyone wants to take a stab at my former version ([link])

If you'd like to color this, take your own stab at it (this is a link to the larger line art): [link]
