Artist's Comments
"A knot tightened around her midriff, and she knew blood was oozing faster than ever. The hole impaled by Ichimaru Gin’s zanpakuto, the hole that was intended for him. She laughed at herself. Her body had moved before she even understood what was happening.
And now they were here. Her dying wordlessly in his arms; and him, crying and screaming for there was nothing else he could do." - The Best Way to Die [link] This took... a phenomenal amount of time. I actually like it a lot (except the Orihime's dress, eurgh) ^_^ but the amount of time is simply ridiculous... I don't even know exactly how long it took! I'm trialling and testing different styles atm, so maybe that's the reason. Every tutorial I've read, every artist whose work I scrutinized through, I only have one question to ask... how the hell do you people make it look so easy?! And why doesn't it work for me at all?! >_< Tablet and photoshop is becoming way too addictive. My butts freezing cold atm because I can't make myself go downstairs to turn the heater on. And I've got A2 modules next week... -_- Now I'm rambling, well, it's 0:40am here!! I hope I am improving, or the past week on this would be for nothing... Constructive criticism would be so so so appreciated! I know the anatomy's odd on this one... |

Great job! I can really tell that you spent a long time on this piece! <333

Holy crap.
The addictiveness was worth it. This is ... DAMN HOT!
The effort it obvious, and a much better piece because of it - beautiful.
I'm at a loss for words

'Well, blow me down and call me Charlie.'
'... Can I just call you Charlie?'
'No, you have to blow me too.'
*Awkward Silence*
'My bad. Please, just call me Charlie.'
'Thanks Jaz... Charlie.'
And she would soooo do this. Without a doubt in my mind. I think you've really conveyed the absolute look of horror on Ichigo's face. I'm going to go off and read now.
Things I think are good:
Ichigo's expression is fantastic; I can feel how utterly stunned he is. The background lighting sets the mood extremely well, IMO, and I like the way the light is brightest on her, enhancing the idea that she's about to die.
Things I think need work:
I'm not crazy about the light in front of them, the arcs of light, and there's something about the shape of Orihime's face that doesn't look quite right, even at that angle.
Hope that's helpful!

Orihime's head seems off...neck too long, for one.
the emotion in this, though...wow.
and I do like the lighting

Thanks

Thanks a lot for the critique though, I'll know to check my drawings properly (using the mirror method XD) before colouring now!

Ichigo's face was a pain to think out
