Bleachness

Well, um, yeah.... this week's chapter is 24 pages of Hitsugaya backstory, apparently drawn to coincide with the release of the all-Hitsugaya Bleach movie.  I'm one of those who doesn't understand the Shiro-chan phenomenon, but I do like the little grumpus and this chapter sounds good--even if pure fanservice for HitsuHina and HitsuMatsu!  Bring it on, Kubo. If your editors are running the show this much, then I fully expect IchiRuki fanservice soon---and a little IchiIshi  UST might be good while we're at it! Feed usssss, we are your ravenous fans.

Anyway, still no popularity poll announcements and we have to wait until next week for a "shock" during the mad scientist duel. In the meantime, to assuage your impatience--Tah-dah! A bleachness  exclusive! From the brilliant gallo_de_pelea ! A shimmering rendering of Inoue Orihime!

Tasteful nudity. Not work safe.


I love her fingernails there, not to mention those perfect nipples. *sigh* I want to be able to draw nipples like that.

EDIT: Ugh, dumb me. I uploaded on photobucket where the pic was promptly kicked off! Anyway, you should be able to see it now under the cut and here on Deviant Art where it is, unfortunately, censored a little.

I tell ya, people. He's a Quincy hybrid or Uryuu's uncle! XD

I swear that in the icon above he's make a Quincy cross there on his collar! (and yes, if you must know, I was running fever last night so these speculations may be running out of hand... still...besides that being the international sign for "chops my head off," just look at that collar).

EDIT: And APOLLO IS THE DEITY OF ARCHERY AFTER ALL.

Szayel. So mysterious. No hole. Where's his tat (now that Noitra's has been revealed in a peculiar place, I'm imagining all sorts of locations for future Espada markings). When he draws his zanpakutou, he doesn't transform (remember when he deflected Renji's attack with it?). He's SO mysterious. And he looks like Ryuuken. AND he had a quincygasm when he found out who Uryuu was (although he didn't recognize the bow? What's up with that? I thought he got all this info from Thunder Brunhilde the S&M queen) And now this:



Another art. IchiIshi. Skintones again. I will be drawing more nekkid couples before I draw clothed characters. I'm just in that mood. Tousen nekkid next and I've got some old Ikkaku sketches I might color. Lots of skin on that head there. Maybe a Szayel speculation pic with his nekkidness revealing his true Quincy identity (and how would that be revealed exactly? Hmmmmm.....)

Anyway, here's the IchiIshi fanart. Worksafe. Just kissy poo.

Forgiveness

Besides the Tousen pic, I forgot that I have to do a Hollow!Hanatarou for edge_chanand then there's this forty foot long Why Recent Chapters Did Not Mean IchiOri that I'm about to spew.  First I have to get over this stomach virus from the hell that is South America and then I'll get to fandom things.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh! One last thing.   gallo_de_pelea did a commission for me---pen and ink of Ishida and Orihime in their Arrancar clothes and I love it to bunches. There's something so ... EGALITARIAN about the two in the pic. And the windy winds. I really love windy art. Lines just there and around. I'm so happy with this.
