Orochimaru at age 5

First things first. I have NO IDEA what to call this... so forgive the title I went with....

... Anyway, I was thinking (and am always thinking) of Orochimaru as a child, and NOT his 12/13 year old self in the Flashbacks, but as a 5 or 6 year old, when his parents were still alive. I personally think Orochimaru's parent's were killed (most likely in action) when he was only little, like Sasuke. Which would explain his "emotions are for weak losers" attitude, growing up alone and not really having any use for them growing up and also, you know, not being given any warmth or compassion or whatever, so he never learnt to express such things. Which has nothing to do with this drawing, but most of my Orochimaru stuff has a well thought out background to it.

BUT ANYWAY

The short hair is the MAIN focus for this drawing. I got the idea whilst watching Hell Girl and seeing Enma Ai (sp?) in her flashback with the bob cut. It was so adorable, I thought.... OH MY GAWD, Orochimaru would look SO CUTE with short hair as a little kid. Been meaning to to something like this for ages, but have been too lazy to do it. This isn't the pose I wanted for him... I wanted him to be holding the ball up to his face, little hands showing, but that didn't work out.

So yeah, Orochimaru at 5 or 6. Playing with a ball in his like... front or back yard. Maybe with his mother out watching him. Why do I talk so much in these comment things... do you guys mind? Should I just say "This is Orochimaru, add it to your favorites." .... ah I'm still talking... SHUT UP ARTEMIS-GIRL!!!
