Description   Tumblr @ blackstormbsvp


An old pic I did around mid/late 2013 which I had since procrastinated on completing (coupled with my year long persistent artist's block throughout 2014), until now, after being somewhat motivated from my recent naga!Hichigo sketch ... and, suffice to say, I'm pretty much pleased with how it turned out *mentally pats self on the back for finally finishing it*

There was actually a story behind this pic, but it was so long ago I can't remember clearly what it was anymore beyond the point that these star-crossed naga lovers were somehow reunited (as in this sketch), so I'll leave it up to your interpretation.

Hope y'all like it~

I'm glad you love it that much that you'd be frantically searching for the actually non-existent story of it X'D
Sorry, the pic is just a thing borne out of my own active imagination, and in no way based off on any existing fanfiction (as a matter of fact, I haven't read Bleach fanfictions in a very long while). If I were a writer I'd probably write about this too (even though I don't have a clear and precise plot and such for it), but as it is, this (pic) will have to suffice X'D Though fans are free to write their own interpretation/inspirations of this pic if they want.

Oh my...
Four arms, big tail, horns, devilish grin and pointy hair...
I can't stop my mind from visualising so much dirty thing !

I mean... being lift by two arms while the other two are... exploring you and those lips slowly kissing your neck and whispering dirty stuff...
That would be too much...

Damn... My pants is tight... I hate you blackstorm !

I'm sorry your art block is still being presistant!

But I love Mythical Creatures. And the myths that go along with them. And I espcially love this little series of nagas you have thus far.

I know two isn't really a series, but I feel Naga!Shiro would be the trusted confidant of Prince!Ichi

This and the previous one have cheered me up a bit because I haven't been feeling well recently. Ugh... But I love them both!

Now I can't help but wonder what their color their scales would be...

But I love the way Grimmjow's hands are pretty much everywhere at once. (I keep picturing them moving constantly over Ichigo's hips, back, and through his hair.)

You art style is addicting to look at, Storm! I hope your art block gets better and that you stay healthy!

Hi Arisu, thank you so much for your thoughtful comment, I truly appreciate it and it made my day and I'm glad that these 'series' cheered you up somehow

Grimmjow's scale is obviously blue (either the same shade as his hair/eyes or darker). Same as with Ichigo's matching with his orange hair though maybe with a little extra shine effect to them similarly to Shadowthorne's Hex's scales where her scales gives off a rainbow-like shine in the light, but on Ichigo's it's a fiery-like shine that may give off the effect of his scales looking like they are on fire under the sun -and that particular extra shine probably unique only to the royal bloodline in Ichigo's tribe/kingdom/whatever *ponders thoughtfully*

Oooh~ I remember seeing pictures of Hex! She's gorgeous and I love that image for Naga Ichigo's scales! I can just imagine all the warm colors his scales would shine when the light hits.

NovaAlexandria [2015-02-07 23:19:47 +0000 UTC]

Love the detail on the scales, and how Ichigo's horns sweep forwards reminiscent of his hollow state, as well as the other lil perks to his various uniforms, such as the bracelets.

blackstorm In reply to NovaAlexandria [2015-02-08 16:37:40 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it and noticed those little details I've incorporated into this Grimmjow's horns are also a tad reminiscent to his crown mask where the ends look like a pair of blunt horns to me (and presumably -depending on the angle perhaps, as they may as well be the same length- the upper 'horn' seems to be slightly longer than the bottom one).

I like Grimmjow's horns.
And who knew he would have four arms? Nice.
I like the way you draw scales whish I could do that but I don't draw snakes so much. Have only drawn one naga in the past and that one was kinda lame.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

blackstorm In reply to Jivra [2015-02-08 15:59:42 +0000 UTC]

Me too It's a tad inspired by his 'crown' mask which the ends look kinda like blunt little horns in a way, hence two pairs each with one perpetually small than the other. So is Ichigo's horns too, with it facing forwards like his evolved horned hollow mask, although more curvy and angled differently (not that I hadn't tried drawing the actual horns from his mask on him but argh, it looks so weird and I can't get the perspective right it's downright frustrating, so I went for a more natural and easier shape instead).

*lol* Originally it was a normal pair on Grimmjow but then I recall seeing nagas with four arms or more, so I thought why not? and so I went with it and it was kind of an interesting challenge -and somehow I liked it, it seems to fit him, even if he were a two have normal two arms (as a naga, that is).

Oh, it's actually not that hard as it seems, I learned from a tutorial I stumbled upon on tumblr I think (I've a friend who loves snakes and owns two or more). The basic trick is to create a crosshatch on the snake body and then add in the scales one-by-one in the diamond shaped gaps/spaces.

Jivra In reply to blackstorm [2015-02-08 16:14:57 +0000 UTC]

I kinda suspected it was from both Grimmjow and Ichigo's masks.
And I share your pain about Vasto Lorde-Ichigo's horns. They are a pain so kudos to the animators who had to do it in all angles.

Sure, why not with the arms. It is interesting how it works with another set of arms. Grate that you had fun with that. ^.^

I see. I think that was how I did it as well but I think I'm too awkward with it to do a better job.
