Even though there's only one picture of him in my gallery, I like Ichigo. A lot. Not as much as I like Uryuu, but still a lot. And I have this thing about Ichigo angsting, don't ask.

The pose and clothes are entirely copied from an awesome picture of the oh-so-pretty Japanese singer Gackt, and when I saw it it immediately screamed "Ichigo" at me, so there you go, I couldn't resist. I really liked the lineart and I hope I didn't do too bad a job with the shading, trying to recreate a wet look for his sweater. It was...interesting, to say the least, and I'm sure I could have done better, but hey.

I don't know who he's talking to, but I imagine he's talking to someone. I leave it to you to decide.

You have no idea how many times I listened to "Never Meant To Belong" from the 1st OST while working on this :love:


ETA: Added a few more droplets here and there. Hope I didn't make it worse.
ETA 02: Also fixed some mistakes no one seemed to have noticed, thankfully...

That is such a classic Ichigo pose. Especially with the rain. While I'm okay with Ichigo angsting away, I prefer him getting embarrassed over women. XD His reactions are hilarious.

Oooh Gackt-fan! Hello! Gackt is so awesomely pretty. ^^

HG headphones? Nice.:D The "wet look" looks great, Charlie. All in all, you did an excellent job on this one. ;)

[i]Awesome[/i].

You know what the pose and background remind me of? The part where Rukia persists in questioining Ichigo over his mother's death.

I'm missing droplets of water on his headphones, maybe fingers (although I see there's water on his hand), but having said that, I never could have done anything like that myself.

It's a gorgeous picture, and I think you chose the pose very well, it suits angsty!Ichigo. I like it very much. :)

Thank you! And yes, of course he's fantastic when freaking out over women, but I've always had this thing about angst.

That was Mr HG's idea since the headphones looked a bit too empty :D

And thank you!!

Yes, that definitely works. I actually went back to those chapters and episodes to get inspiration.

Thank you so much. And I know I didn't do the droplets properly (as in not everywhere they should have been) but I was afraid of overdoing it, so in the end I didn't draw enough of them. I might go back and edit that later on.

I don't know anything about Bleach*, but what I can say is: Wow, this looks great! :clap: It's definitely angsty, and it's NOT a bad job at shading - good girl, look at the picture, how can you think this might be bad?

Love,
Kari

* I am wavering if I shall read it. I want to start reading a new manga, but I am still wavering between Bleach, Fruits Basket, Death Note and Fullmetal Alchemist :hmm:
