This was drawn with a mechanical pencil, inked with a ballpoint pen, and colored with colored pencils.

Heh. Just a little idea I had. I like the Karin (aka Chibi-Vampire) anime and manga, and from the start I thought "Hey, Usui Kenta (from Karin) looks like a blond Kurosaki Ichigo!" (from Bleach). Some other people I know agree with me. So I thought it would be interesting to make Ichigo cosplay as Usui Kenta. And at first I planned to have Rukia dressed as Maaka Karin, but then I remembered Ichigo had a sister named Karin. And so Kurosaki Karin is shown here cosplaying as Maaka Karin. XD

They're not smiling because I figured the real characters wouldn't like cosplaying. And somehow, it would be weird to have Ichigo smiling while cosplaying. O_o I can't imagine that. Karin seems embarrassed at wearing a skirt. Poor girl. That's what you get for having the same first name as Maaka Karin! XD

I made a few mistakes with the inking and coloring. X_X It seems my bad habit (of not noticing that the arms are a bit long!) has once again come up. With Ichigo, I covered it up by making his sleeves look (too) long. With Karin, it's more noticable. Sorry about that!

Karin looks cuter in here than in the Bleach series. I guess it's because of my drawing style. >_>; Even her hair is a bit longer. And it was my first time that I drew Ichigo and was actually pleased with the outcome. I had a bit of trouble with his hair, but it looks good to me. I liked how this drawing turned out overall.
