Description This is for a contest by *Slinkers


I'll start by explaining the Bankai. Yes, the sword has a face. His name is Ijime (which, from what my friend says, can be roughly translated to mean "Cruel Treatment"). When awakened into Bankai mode, chains sprout from the hilt and, using the Spirit Power manipulated by the wielder, fly through the air to attempt to catch the enemy in its grip. Once captured, the sword will begin to pull the prey in like a fish to a rod and, once close enough, Ijime will devour the person whole and vanquish them into a randomly chosen dimension. If you're lucky, you'll merely be sent to the Spirit World, the Human World, or even the Hollow World where it is possible to get back to wherever you originally were. If you AREN'T lucky however...

Also, if the sword bites into your flesh, there is a high chance that the demons of other dimensions will now know your scent and that could be rather troublesome.

The girl? Her name is Ichigo Minami (Based off of me, of course.) The chains in the sword represent the unwillingness to let go and the "chains" that bind you down when you fear disappointment (Which I truly HATE to disappoint...). As for the clothes... Ripped clothes for the ripped soul that bears the burden of wielding Ijime.


-------------------------------------


And now for myself.... THIS TOOK ME SIX HOURS TO DO TRADITIONALLY!!!!!!!! JEEZ! Most of that time was taken up to just simply SKETCH the chains! But I'm very happy with how it turned out... sketched, inked, and colored completely traditionally by yours truly!

Thanks! I tried to be creative. Actually, I was inspired by an item that Grimjow used to send Ulquiorra to another dimension to get rid of him for a little while. Then, everything just sort of linked together from there (no pun intended.).

Ahhh, yeah, that thing was pretty awesome. And I think you succeeded in being creative! It's a really imaginative bankai, I like it. ^^

This is plain cool. Haven't seen Bleach for a time now, but this would totally fit in.

Heehee! Thanks! To be honest, I think I'm also having some sort of lack of Bleach right now... I'm ONLY on episode 172! I need to get crackin'! >D

Oh, there are that much episodes already? XD Have stopped during Bountu Saga or how it was called. Still don't know when the real action starts again.

Thanks! It took FOREVER to do! I'm finally starting to get the hang of shading! I looked up a lot of tutorials to learn how to decide what colors to use. Now I just need practice.

(Not that I'll do a lot of that this summer. I'll be watching Bleach on my Wii.)

Yep. I have one of the original models for the Wii (Thanks for standing outside of Target at 3 am the week before X-mas, mum!) which means I got free internet ;D. Then, I just go to YouTube aaaand... BAM! Bleach on an HD Plasma screen TV.
