Description Hey all! Back with my second remake of a character existing in my gallery (first one being the Venom redo...which I must implore you to look at if you haven't!). It's Ichigo, of Bleach fame...Yeh. The main character.

Oh, and by the way, all the pieces that are being replaced can be found in the "Scraps" section of the gallery for your viewing pleasure (pshhh they was so uglayy gosh i was a nubcake. wait, still am.)

To compare this one with the old Ichigo, click here : [link]

Don't have much to say about this one, other than that Ichigo is one of the coolest most badass characters out there. I wanted to go with the mask but Ichigo's face is ruthless enough haha. I tried a variant with the mask and it came out decent, so I stuck to this mug look that he's ready to kill you...in a few seconds once all the darkness is absorbed into his blade

Other than that, this was a piece I actually kind of put a composition to...As you can note of the circular motion and curvature of the clouds under his feet and most notably the swirling dark matter, The sword I think came out to the perfect length and width up close, and I didn't think I could pull it off. Once again, free transform is a good friend in photoshop lol.

So yeah! I think that's it for now! Other than finishing this about 3 days ago, I will annotunce that I have finished yet another piece of yet another character who was disgraced by my early tablet wielding days, but this new piece will bring him justice! Awesome justice! Really, I think by far the next one is pretty sweet of this three. The Link piece was a success in coloring a full body, this one is success in badassery of perspective and Ichigo is the man, and the next one is sweet in...

Sketched on paper with H pencil, redrawn and colored on Photoshop Elements 5.0...5 hours?

ENJOY! RLC is the place to be, keep it LOCKED! <3

Ichigo is owned and was created by Tito Kube.

Oh haha, thanks. Yeh, I didn't know how to make this one really stand out other than that swirling darkness. To be quite honest, I think it looks fine, I couldn't really think of a way to make this stand out...His clothes are really simple to be honest, and I will admit that I'm not satisfied how it came out, but what more can I do to this traditional black clothing, y' know? If I didn't add texture to it, it'd be even more plain O_o...Unless you know of something I can add to the piece...Which I'd really appreciate! Always willing to hear input especially if I can better my works!

hmm..i could've sworn i commented on this already..
oh well. lol
you know...i've always thought, if i had to guess what manga's style yours most closely resembles or draws inspiration from, it'd be bleach. The shape of the faces and everything is characteristic to er...the artist ( i dunno who the mangaka is) your style of drawing faces is similar. who am i most like....? hmmm...i dunno.
anyways, haha! sorry, back to the piece. um. yea, wow. haha! i'd say the experiment with perspective was a success, i know how difficult that is. nice one man!

Thanks man, once again, much obliged. And guess what...You hit it right on the head! Tito Kube, the artist of Bleach, is why I do draw my characters in a similar way! I always like my characters to look sharp looking, and his style has influenced me greatly (first being Tetsuya Nomura: Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy 7, 10, and a whole bunch of other ones). Glad you noticed that resemblance! Yours is most like...maybe some Clamp work? Like Code Geass stuff xP

Btw, have you finished watching the series? I remember you saying you started it...It's incredible man!

nomura is definitely up there with my own influences. ha! clamp! i suppose you're right...my work is a bit shojo isn't it? hahaha!
no actually, i haven't..haven't been watching any anime as of late actually...i really should..it had potential to be good..

THanks Dan! This is why you're the man!

I didn't like the composition of the other piece, and couldn't capture his sword and what not, so that's why I was compelled to get it in yo FACE! Yeah, I wanted to ask you, what do you think of the sword perspective?

Damn dude, awesome! But the other Ichigo wasn't that bad, I liked it. Anyway, this piece is great, especially like the darkness being absorbed into the blade, wicked awesome. Not really much to criticize about this one other than very minor errors (one darkness swirl in front of his left coat flap seems to have been cut in half), excellent work none the less.
