Description My feet... won't move. My arm... won't rise....

Now that I think about it.. I was probably just scared.. Because I... damn, I am really a tramp down to my bones. I hate myself. I bark at the star, but... I don't have the courage to jump and grab it.

Kurosaki!! I'm probably shameless for doing this, but I have to ask you...! Please... You have to save Rukia!


Renji is... my favorite character in the anime. But..... 3 Hours. This work on a 9x12 paper took me three effin hours to finish in the noisy foodcourt at a nearby mall before I went back to the dorm. Coloring the hair was such a pain; I remember holding the poor pencil on my hand as though it was a knife I was so eager to plunge into someone's heart. My hand was screaming in protest and it was enough to render me useless afterwards. And by "useless" I meant being unable to draw any decent characters again.

*huff huff*

Argh, still this one is another of my favorite works. Haha....

Awesome job. I love the colors and the expression, and you did the shading and the tattoo really well.

Ohohoho, you too?! XD I guess too much exposure of him will result to loss of mystery. It's always nice to leave something behind for others to ponder, y/y? :3

Anyway, thanks for the fave~~~

Thank you very much~

Haha, I know. We all feel that.. Most people don't care about his character, and Rukia... well, she's only giving signs of platonic relationship with him. There's Byakuya, at least. XD

You're welcome! (^^,)

T_T

My heart goes out to Renji.
Rukia and Renji were SO made for each other before...

Thank god, I've found another Renji fan.
I'm turninging slightly crazy from all the Ichigo fans I'm constantly surrounded by. Grrr.

KeysToCancer In reply to aruki [2009-01-03 14:49:40 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, I fail to see what's so great about Ichigo. XD
Maybe I should pay more attention to him...

Aw, I've never actually seen any Renji cosplayers. (You should totally do that!)
I think I browse this site now for Renji cosplayers ^_^

aruki In reply to KeysToCancer [2009-01-04 00:39:14 +0000 UTC]

and it'll be a challenge for a girl like me.. i mean, almost all the Renji cosplayers are guys, though the number of female ones are never behind them. XD Weeee~~ now I'm getting all excited! Haha!!
