So, I finally decided to actually post my piece from the Art Competition a few weeks back so that it was available outside just the competition thread which I don't think exists anymore, but I'm also posting the original designs I had for each of the mains before I put them into the final piece.

When making this piece I took a lot of inspiration from the time when I played soccer quite frequently in my high school years. I based their soccer uniforms off of the Jonin Vest/Outfit and the Keeper's Uniform off the Hokage Robes. Then, of course, I needed to keep their shoes in their relative color palette.

Final Piece: (Please ignore the backward text on their uniforms I didn't realize they were like that until I was posting it)

Midnight Blade: Okay so for Midnight, I decided to make him a Team Captain, because I feel with his personality base and his overall "style" fit the captain persona quite well. I wanted to put him in a more diverse pose, a pose that is in a hard position to kick a ball, a bicycle kick, because Midnight, to me, seems like someone that is an expert at the game and tries to learn as many tricks and skills as he can. Taking into his lightning style, he would definitely be a Striker on this team.

Breeze Dancer: I also decided that being a Team Captain would fit Breeze quite well also. She reminds me sort of a flirty, mother figure that knows how to chastise and criticise. I wanted to put her in a pose that you often don't see from female players, i.e. trapping the ball on your chest. When I thought of her wind style and her jutsus, it reminded me a lot of a powerhouse in disguise. I'd say she either plays a Stopper or Sweeper in this team, depending on if you play a 4-4-2 line or 4-4-2 diamond.

Scarlet Blaze: So Scarlet reminds me a lot of someone I played soccer with one year, who was always running like they just had unlimited stamina. And taking his fire style into account, I decided that someone that ran around the field so much and had so much support characteristics about him that being a Defensive Mid fit him the most on this team.

Azure Fang: Most people would probably think that she'd be a Defender right?Maybe even Keeper? Wrong! I know she has so much support about her, but she is used so much in hard attack teams, she frequently is the main force keeping the attacks in her teams alive, so taking this into account I pushed her into a Wing position (left or right doesn't matter). She's most definitely someone that would be able to sprint up and down the field so easily to support her Strikers.

Crimson Fist: Okay so, when I was planning this out, in my mind, there was no one more perfect for Keeper position than Crimson, like, hello? All around Defensive Support Character that has hardly any high based attacks? Definitely a Keeper. Especially with his build, being so much taller than the other Mains and just being all around wider in general.
