Description
Hey everyone! Sorry for not being able to answer the recent comments, but I've been really freakin' busy with last minute wedding stuff. At least I get to draw at night!Anyhoo, here's a new Gin/Ran pic. For those of you who don't know the series Bleach, this is two of the shinigami, former 3rd Division captain, Ichimaru Gin and 10th division vice-captain Rangiku Matsumoto. I love this pair...
Title from the song "This Time Imperfect" by AFI, Download here: [link]
The very last 3 lines of this song are so heartbreaking and I tried to convey that single emotion in this piece... so let me know if I succeeded!
Here's the last verse leading up to the last 3 lines:
There are no flowers, no not this time,
There'll be no angels gracing the lines,
Just these stark words, I find.
I'd show a smile, but i'm too weak,
I'd share with you could I only speak,
Just how much this, hurts me.
Just how much this, hurts me.
Just how much you...

You're my hero. And your music choice is amazing, thank you. It gives me more inspiration. Sometimes I feel like it sucks that I can't express my ideas through art, being a writer and not an artist, but then I find people like you who can draw it just like I imagined. Thank you for posting such beautiful work

Okay. It's official: I love your stuff. Not meaning to sound stalkerish or freaky, no offense intended!
I love AFI and Bleach, the two together?: YAY! The colours you use are beautiful, oh god how I wish i were better at drawing people...
Really nice gallery!

I terribly adore your art.
I must have faved six of your pictures by bow, but I sort of noticed that I didn't comment yet *oops*.
But I /adore/ your pictures. The lighting and concept of each is beautiful!
Prepare for a rabid stalker!

=3 GinRan = lurv.
I love your colouring style -- kind of dark, surreal and dreamy, very fitting. And her hands are amazing. Good hands make mehappy 'cause I can't do 'em. x]

Yeah, hands are totally the devil... I always try and take shortcuts regarding the hands... like in this one hiding Gin's awful hand with Ran's voluminous hair!! lol

She certainly does have handy hair. xD I myself am a fan of 'general-shape' hands.

Gyah~ another fav without comment. I'm going insane, I am.
Love the surreal quality about this piece~ They both look so amazing together in the fog-esque coloured background you used.

Well, I guess it's really the last verse leading up to the last line, the words unspoken just leave a powerful impression on me...:
There are no flowers, no not this time,
There'll be no angels gracing the lines,
Just these stark words, I find.
I'd show a smile, but i'm too weak,
I'd share with you could I only speak,
Just how much this, hurts me.
Just how much this, hurts me.
Just how much you...

Gin's doomed.
And it makes me really sad.
If only they'd do it in the anime like we did in my RP: Gin's innocent, Aizen's forcing him to do bad stuff by holding Matsumoto over his head. That would be great.

Whoa, that is really awesome. I adore her expression, the way that she's holding onto him. She looks a bit sad. (is she supposed to?)
Anyway, it's gorgeous, as usual.

Thank you sweetie! Yeah, she's supposed to look sad... Gin frustrates the hell outta her. She loves him (either as a friend or lover; Kubo Tite hasn't exactly made it clear, but I'll bet alot that it's the later.) but he constantly leaves her without telling her where he's going... are you familiar with Bleach?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, I am not familiar with Bleach... I need to be though, haha! So many people keep telling me to read it! >_<
Anyway, ahhh.... I see.
