Description The final "Shady Ass Bleach Character" in my series!

This time: Shirosaki Ichigo... or Hichigo... or Hollow Ichigo... whatever you want to call him because, technically, he has no name. Although he has called himself Zangetsu, and he says he *is* Ichigo, so you decide.

Oh yeah, if you're following the anime on [as], you probably haven't met him yet. Basically, as a small spoiler, when Urahara slices through Ichigo's chain of life in order to make him become a shinigami, the process creates an inner hollow for strawberry boy. The problem, then, is controlling him.

He looks like a negative version of Ichigo - white hair, eyes black instead of white, he wears white clothing and his version of Zangetsu has opposite colored stripes. And he's sexy as hell. Too bad he's trapped inside the body of a 16 year old.

The complete work is not quite done yet. I have to fix it, then add a little bit of border between the four guys. The other three panels:

Ulquiorra Shiffer
Ichimaru Gin
Urahara Kisuke



Size: 12x9"
Technique: Charcoal Reduction
Materials: 4B 2B Condensed Black Charcoal, Medium Vine Black Charcoal, 2B Condensed White Charcoal, White Charcoal Pencil, Kneaded Rubber Eraser, Pink Pearl Plastic Eraser, fingers for blending and smudging, Lava brand soap for clean-up
Time: Around 3 hours... nice and short this time. He didn't fight me like some of my last works.
Multiple References from the manga used; piece is not yet fixed.

But of course! I just finished 387.

I found the Tousen battle a bit anti-climatic. Not my favorite, that's for sure.

AreteEirene In reply to addiexlovesxtwilight [2009-12-27 07:21:50 +0000 UTC]

Half of the espada got entire arcs for their battles and Tousen got two weeks? Even his flashback was truncated. I don't get it.

addiexlovesxtwilight In reply to AreteEirene [2009-12-27 22:59:11 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that was odd! Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Tousen, but I still expected it to be more...epic, or something. And his hollow form weirded me out. Somehow, I never saw Tousen as a giant fly thing, or whatever that was.

Inuyashafan777 In reply to AreteEirene [2009-09-20 21:36:05 +0000 UTC]

Yep, for Youtube. But I can't credit all the artist. there are just too many. I'm going to say, "I did not draw the great pictures in this video's. The credit goes to the awsome artist." Is that okay?

AreteEirene In reply to Inuyashafan777 [2009-09-20 21:42:54 +0000 UTC]

No, I'm sorry. I only allow credited uses. If you're making it frame by frame you should be able to put the credit text right over the picture.

The title comes from something he says in the manga. His goal is to take over.

H!Ichigo!
His hair isn't as good as some of your previous, but he's a grinning psychopath which means, strangely, I like him.

Spikey hair is not my favorite. A friend won a request and had me draw Cloud Strife for her... gave me fits

Glad you like him, though

When I was getting the features in the right place, and before I had colored in the eyes, I kept mumbling to the drawing that he looked too much like Ichigo. Then I colored the eyes in and all was well.

I love so many Bleach characters, though. Too much for me to pick a favorite, really.
