Description This will be officially number 3 in my Victorian!Bleach Project requested by my friend Jazzy ! The first two that started this whole thing are Mornin' Stroll, Darlin' and Mark of a Gentleman , done for one of her fics (which featured streetrat!Renji and streetrat!Rukia and kiddy!Ichigo in Victorian London!) in her IRAF (IchiRuki Anthology FST) series. Somehow it evolved into this huge exchanging thing where I draw whatever she requests and she'll write me whatever I request. XD; Yes, there will be more stuff in this genre coming up, or something. I don't know, I'm doing this on order. XD

No, your eyes are not deceiving you. It is Yumichika from Bleach. In a dress. As the Queen of England. Jazzy wanted it so. Even I am surprised at how at home he looked in a dress when I drew it, though. Mwahahahahahahahsobsobsob... My hand is shot. Oh the lace, the lace! I think I totaled his left arm entirely (only noticed it after I was done with everything; I was too blinded after doing the lace, which I totally made up, and for my sake, I hope it looks like lace). Don't look at it too long and hopefully you won't notice. This is entirely modeled after a picture of Queen Victoria of England I found. I don't think she actually wears the veil and small crown until later in her life, though (I think it was after she was widowed), but I liked the idea and added them in. Everything here is more or less accurate, even the background. I made a few modifications, but I believe I mentioned most of 'em.

The title comes from the song "Victoria" by The Kinks, an English rock group. According to Wiki, it was to honor Queen Victoria and her empire. Fitting, ain't it? Although it's "his" sun, rather. I think I might be shot for doing this. XD;;

Paper, a variety of pens, camera, camera sepia effect. For you, Jazzy!

I thought this was some random woman when I clicked the thumbnail. Then I saw it up close, recognized Yumichika, and had to choke down my laughter. The dress itself is well-drawn, but the fact that he pulls it off with such a smug expression makes the entire thing. Great job.

It wasn't my idea, I'm telling you. lol Once I started drawing it, though, he just looks so comfortable in the get-up. Nothing much fazes Yumichika, I'd say. xD And thanks for the 2 faves!

Aww, thanks! I'm glad SOMEBODY likes it because it seems the original agreement that started it all in the first place has now faded into obscurity, but that's okay since I haven't heard from the other person, either, and I'm kinda fickle that way. >.> There are still a few planned pics left to draw, but I actually forgot although I have all the references gathered. I might pick it up again at some point.

I know! Jazzy's awesome that way. XD I would have never thought this idea up in a million years. Really opened my horizons, this one. I have found out that drawing guys in dresses is actually possible, and not all that... unnatural. I'm scaring myself. XD

Thank you so much! I can put my worries at rest. So glad it's working out well. ^0^ Yumi is kind of amazing that way. He can probably wear anything, including a tutu. XD (P.S.: I will NOT draw him in a tutu. -.-; )

XD I'm glad you do! It was actually not so hard to draw. It was the tiny lacey details that I went nuts over (the crown, oh the crown, and the shawl!), but dresses are awesome in general. Thanks so much for fav'ving!
