I'm so glad that I got this done before the school week started for me x.x This has got to be the first in years that I have actually drew fan art for an anime show xD The last fan art that I posted here on DA was Haruko from FLCL, and it looks hideous. XD
I almost never draw anime fanart, but Bleach was so worth it cause they have awesome original characters. :3 *cough* Even though the show itself is getting pretty tiring, cause there isn't much of a plot anymore, just fighting.. lots and lots of fighting... >.>
Anyways, I thought I would challenge myself for once in my life and decided to draw my favorite Bleach characters. I was going to add Kenpachi - but there wasn't any room left, and I didn't want to redraw/resize everyone just so he could fit. >:/ Maybe next time, Kenny.
Uhh letsee, this was a BIG big pain to color in Dx It took 2-3 hours for the lineart, and Elise had accidentally pressed the off button of the power cord with her foot. xD So later on in the day, I redid the lineart, and started coloring it in. The shading took another 2 hours, and when I tried to save it, OC4 crashes on me. Dx I was glad that I saved the picture before I did the shading, but man, I was cranky last night. Sooo today I did the shading, lighting, yadda yadda - and I'm SOOPER HAPPY WITH THE OUTCOME! 8D I know that this whole Christmas theme is really early, but Christmas music was blaring through the radio while I was drawing the group, and it inspired me xD Each character has something Winter-ish themed, except Byakuya. He's just chillin.
HA. GET IT. CHILLIN. HUHUHUHUHUHUHUUUU*shot*
