Even though this is from deviantart and isnt anything special, I wanted to post it anyway since Akatsuki member stuff is really rare, even more genderswap stuff of them.
As long as it's good, and not overtly american (like those TF2 uploads a while back). I sometimes wonder about the bias given to terrible artwork just because it's japanese in origin myself. It's just that non foreign artworks that are uploaded seem like they tend to be terrible weeaboo fanarts done by nonartists. Self promotion is pretty sad, especially when I often see that they're tracings or copies that are modified so that they're "original" as I've seen the last couple of months.
