Ulquiorra Schiffer - Resurreccion Segunda Espada - Bleach

This is another fan art dedication to a Bleach character. This is Uliquiorra Schiffer, the number 4 Espada, in his second release form.

Graphite, 14 x 17".

Bleach characters are manga characters and usually drawn in the that form. I wanted to put my own spin on them, so mine are not drawn in the standard manga style.

Again, I had some difficulties with my camera. You will see where notice some areas where the camera caught a glare off of the graphite, causing parts of the image to appear lighter. Some areas were also blurry or discolored. The actual drawing is even in tone and color.

Illustration Friday: Subtract - Kenpachi Zaraki - Bleach

Subtract one eye patch from a certain captain of squad 11 of the 13 court guard squads, and, well...you're in for a world of trouble!

Graphite, 14 x 17 ".

For those who don't read manga or watch anime, you may not get the connection, so I will try to explain while hopefully not making this too long.

This is based on a manga/anime character from Bleach. He is Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, and when he removes his eyepatch, his reiatsu ( spiritual pressure/source of power) goes into overdrive. All soul reapers/shinigami/ and captains have different levels of reiastu. Kenpachi has an enormous amount of it, but he loves battle so much, that he wears this special eye patch to suppress the bulk of his power, thus drawing the battle out for his enjoyment. When the eye patch comes off...all hell is gonna break loose! ( He is also notorious for not taking very good care of his sword, thus all the damage shown).

IF : Legendary - Thor

I chose Thor for this week's topic. He seemed suitable, and I have been wanting to do another drawing of him for awhile now. This was done in graphite on 11 x 14 ", 90 lb, cream colored paper. The actual drawing is a full body drawing, but I cropped it for now because the whole picture does not fit into my scanner. I didn't feel like wrestling with my camera/lighting tonight, as I usually have to do with my larger drawings. I get so very frustrated with taking pictures of my work. I wished I had a better camera and decent lighting.

IF : Intricate - Shaman VI

Ink and graphite, 4 x 6 on 111 lb. drawing paper. A special thanks to Live Model Books and model Jesse for providing the pose for my base sketch.

I figured since several people have told me that my twine men are intricate, that I could post this new one for the IF topic this week.
