Description ... you had a lot less tattoos. XD

For those of you who witnessed my RAAAGE from my last deviation -- it's all right. I'm cool as a cucumber now.

LOL So here's how it went. After the meltdown, I sat down, googled some reference images, and drew this up. First thing I've been happy with in a while, drawing-wise! FINALLY! I did a sitting pose, man! Those poses are HARD! D9 SO HARD MY EYES TURN INTO A NINE!

And I finally -- FINALLY -- managed to draw RENJI! Of all the characters that give me a hard time when drawing them, it's always my favorite characters. Why...? Maybe because I switch to OCD mode and I have to get them juuuust perfect. <__< Just perfect doesn't happen with my drawings. XD So I settle for good.

*pushes Renji off the log in victory!*

I mimicked Kubo's coloring style yet again with this one. Values, I know, are less than great. But I was following a style. >< It would've helped if I put in shading lines but... I didn't. So... yeah.

Anyway, there you have it. Young, [yet to be] unadulterated, and waiting for Izuru, 'cause he wants to punch some kidneys.

>D

Renji belongs to (ME NOW!) Tite Kubo!

Hrmm, the hair looked fine to me. If anything's off, I'd say the arms. Arms are harrrrd. D:

Raen thinks she needs to start breaking out some stupid-silly pictures. X'D

*pushes Renji off the log again, just to be mean* I was hoping the shading would help, but alas. ): Oh well. XD

Here's one~
My sister noticed the other day that both Ichigo and Ishida have an unusual affinity for butterflies. Judging by the ways they both knew the species just by looking at them.
Ichigo in the first chapter: "My! What is a black swallowtail butterfly doing in my room?"
I would have been like, "wtf kinda moth is that. TT_TT"

*backs away slowly*
I'm glad I'm not a bishi. xDD

SNAP, I think you gave me an idea! 8D I definitely noticed the butterfly thing with Uryuu, but I didn't remember the Ichigo one until you said something. XD LOL I'm shocked Ichigo didn't say, "WTF" 'cause... he's so very... <_< well, you know. He's Ichigo.

*proceeds to draw*

hey its good to see you being positive about your work (and so you should be cause this is spigg'n awesome you dummy!) hehe! keep it up!! Whenever i draw i always struggle with poses and it always annoys the crap out of me when I don't get it right so i can comprehend your annoyance but seriously, you should be like this more often! XDXDXD

LOL Yeeeah, I go through an art block every once in a while. <_< During that time (could be months, could be a day... it depends), I usually dislike most things I draw. XD But I think I'm out of it now.

Watch, now that I say something, I'll go right back into art block mode.

But anyway... Thank you so much for the support! I appreciate it greatly!
