Description
Please PLEASE Full-view! Alot of little details are lost in the small pic!Wow, so it feels like forever since I drew IchiHime!!
Here's Ichigo and Orihime from Bleach...
"Laissez les bons temps rouler!" is "Let the good times roll!" and it's particular to Cajun French. You'll find it plastered all over New Orleans...
This pic was inspired by my trip to New Orleans last week for the 311 concert. We (my hubby, sister and her bf) stayed on Bourbon street, so naturally we partied ^____^
And shopped... speaking of...
Orihime's mask is a modified version of the popular Colombina-style "Farfallina Losanghe Musica" mask... one that I'm getting on my next trip to Nola -- muwahaha!(my funds were running too low to pick it up... of course I had already bought 4 masks before I laid my eyes on this particular one. Remind me to show pics of my mask collection... I collected them for ~years~ it's my one obsession outside of manga/anime )
It will be mine... oh yes.
I ~almost~ drew Ichigo with a Venetian Zanni or Capitano-type mask, just cause I think they're cool looking! )
but thought it would be neat to tie in his hollow mask here...
Anyways, the song for this pic is "Last Waltz" by The Rasmus, download here: [link]
What a pretty song... and it has almost a playful, but elegant sound... good for this pic!
Done in Copics, india ink and Corel Photopaint9.
No crit please!

I really love your style, and even better since this is one of my favourite couples in all fandoms (THE favourite in Bleach...). And Last Waltz is one of my favourite songs, too. Is there any better way to describe them than "revolutionary heavenly romance".

I don't usually log in and comment because I'm too lazy, but this is gorgeous. I love your other pics (specially the sexy!HiruMamo) and need to get around to commenting sometime, but this - I usually don't consider IchiHime as being an uber-hot pairing but I love this. The colors, the masks, the faces, the eyes.

Wow. I must say this has now won a place in my heart! I know it sounds cheesy, but its factual. I'm from Nola. Offically, I live about 45 minutes from there, but its still my home. I recognize Orihime's mask! I actually have one similar to it. You are right in the fact that a lot of detail gets knocked out in the smaller image, definiately a must to view full. I just wanted to say thanks for supporting nola. She may seem like everything's just fine after hurricane Katrina, but in reality the wounds have yet to heal. Maybe I could show you round next time you come. If you're up for it.

Oh, Lawd. Would you believe me if I told you that I was born in New Orleans? I absolutely love that city, despite the rampant debauchery. So much culture... I'm craving some Cafe du Monde right now... :L

The mask idea is a really awesome and clever one. And your Orihime always has such pretty hair.

sooo. pretty. Just... so pretty!;__; sorry, I honestly don't know what I can say! xD I love the random Hollowβs mask thatβs in there. Ah, Ichigo and Orihimeβ¦ your fanart made me support the pairing before I was even into it!
Well, just wanted you to know this is beautiful. Your Ichihime fanart makes me go βawwwβ all the time.

Man, this is definately one of my fave IchiHime pics! I love how colorful and playful this looks! I'm actually glad you did the hollow mask - it ties in great! Speaking of ties.... I love Ichigo's outfit! Awesome job!
I actually knew the meaning already, so I understood immediately and saw the thumb for this and was like... EXCELLENT! I mean, who else would think to do fanart that incorporates Mardi Gras?! This is so fabulous. Keep up the good work.
BTW, you know who else would look great in a Mardi Gras-themed pic? RukiaRenji. I could just see Renji's tattoos blending in with a mask, and Rukia's tiny body wearing a feathery, flowy costume...
