Description
"Enclose Murcièlago"An early birthday gift for [Happy (early) birthday dear!
]I wanted to be the first to wish you happy birthday and since my classical singing exams are on Sunday I am not sure if I would get to find time to draw and I am super busy with my university and stuff so even if your birthday is in five days...I still wish you that!
-And I hope to be able to draw the other birthday gifts I owe to others!
-Anyway this is Ulquiorra Cifer, the Espada No 4, aka the forth stronger Espada in Hueco Mundo.
I used this picture as reference i.pinimg.com/736x/09/9a/30/099…
It is the moment before Ulquiorra's Resurrecciòn aka his Zanpakutou Release.
Because always asks for more Ulquiorra fanart out there, I bet she likes him above all. And so I wanted to draw him.I am sorry the shading looks a bit too dark but I tried to be as close to the original shading as possible, and since he has the moon at his back, I thought it should be darker as a shading.
While drawing it, his upper shirt turned out being slightly more open than the original reference image so, in order to make it more realistic, I added the 4 to his left breast, where it should be. Plus the shirt appears to be higher than the original pic so I added some more details to his abdominal muscle so it would seem slightly closer to what I made
The background came out okay. I could not...tear the paper apart for making absolute black background, plus my hand would hurt as hell to press my small pensil on it!
therefore I did my best.In general I used the anime picture reference but I also looked at some manga pages too, in order to make sure I made a good black and white version of it.
At the bottom left side I have written the resureccion command:
Tozase! Murucielago. (鎖せ ムルシエラゴ)
Enclose/Inprison Murcielago!
It took me around two and a half hours to finish. Forgive me for my mistakes.
And I realized this is my very first attempt of drawing Ulquiorra!
Please comment me. I am open to constructive critisism but please no flames!
It was my first attempt after all.I drew this while listening to:

Thanks dear!
The hand was hell truly! I swear! Drawing this kind of angles is damn hard and still think I have a long way to go but still! Thanks!

This is very nice

Oh thank you really much! I am so happy you recognized him even if you
are not familiar with the anime!
I have stopped watching it after finishing this season too. It just got awfully predictable and silly with
all those fillers and stuff!
Thank you really much. I still need to work on the technique but nevertheless yes I guess it
could be worse!
Thank you so much for the comment!

You drew Ulqui-kun! 
I love that pose he's got, all menacing and threatening... 
You even got the bg of Las Noches.... you are too awesome! Thank you amiga, this is such a sweet bday gift....

Hehe well... Yeah, for the first time I did.
Hehehe yeah I remember that and I think even if I didn't know I would have realized it by now!
Yeah. Threatening only indirectly because he is so calm like this but yeah threatening because everyone can guess what happens afterwards.
Thank you so much!
Well in the beginning I wasn't sure whether I would drew it or not. My main priority was drawing the character. But then I was like "why, the heck, not?" 
I am glad you liked it
Early birthday gift but I am glad you liked it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, you did a great job. Hehehe well, you know me too well!
I can tell you're detail-oriented like me. You got the background done nicely, moon and all.
Well, they do say the most dangerous are the calm and quiet ones, lol.
It looks awesome, honey. Couldn't have drawn it better, myself. 
You're too awesome for words, I swear.
Thank you so much, sweetie. Best. Birthday. Ever.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much dear.
Hehehe
Hehe totally!
I'm happy you liked the background with the moon. For some reason I always preferred the crescent moon over full moon.
Oh yes indeed they say that. It makes me wonder if Aizen knew about Segunda Etapa would Ulquiorra still be Espada no 4?
Oh come on. I have seen your drawings and I am sure you can do better
As for the cake you gave me my first and only cake badge so I think it's the only fair thing to do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, thank you darling for your lovely gift.
Me too. It gives out a mysterious or dangerous aura to the night.
Hmm, good question. I'd assume he would've ascended Ulqui to 1st instead of Mr. Sleepyhead of Coyote Starrk *crosses fingers for Kurojidai Coyote Starrk* 
Or perhaps he knew all along, who knows? The guy was always an enigma, anyways.
Aww shucks, you make me blush with such comments, but seriously, you draw probably better than me, traditionally. 
Aww, well I didn't expect you to give me a cake, but I appreciate it. I gave you the cake to celebrate your birthday hun, but again thank you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh come on. It was nothing, really
Indeed! That was the reason I love crescent moon more than full moon!
Well alright let's say he wouldn't be Espada Primiera but I would say he would be at least number three
if not number four. I would personally place the Second Espada first, because he could destroy his opponents
without even touching them and I would place Ulquiorra as second or third instead.
I don't think Aizen knew. Ulquiorra clearly states that he had never shown Aizen his second Resurrection.
Traditionally...alright but I have seen your linearts and you told me you started off with traditional style so...
I think those are better. Plus I wish I knew how to draw digitally to make better gifts for my friends...
Well...with the same logic I gave it to you as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, yes it was. It's beautiful.
Yep, me too. Though I do luv the full moon for Inuyasha, but that's another topic, lol
Hmm you mean Barragan as the 1st? Yeah, perhaps. And Ulquiorra at 2nd, Harribel as 3rd, Grimmjow as 4th, etc..
Hmm perhaps. Or else why would Aizen implement that rule about not transforming into Resurrection while inside Las Noches? Then again, who knows?
*still crossing fingers for Kurojidai Coyote Starrk*
Well, I guess keep practicing, and for digital art my secret is a good tablet and an excellent program like Sketchbook Pro.
You'll get better at it, I have faith in ya.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you !
Well alright I am just saying in general. Not in anime.
Yes I thought it would be better if he were first, I mean in terms of power.
Grimmjaw as 4th? Yes perhaps, or at least fifth.
The rule applied for all Espada from 4 and above. He didn't know about
the second release.
What are you crossing your fingers for exactly?
Hehehehe! I see. The truth is I do not have a drawing tablet!
Well yeah pensils sometimes make quite the mess!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, you got a point there.
Well, yeah. Grimmy should've been higher than Nnoitra, IMO.
Ah, ok. I guess Aizen was oblivious to that aspect, then.
Wellll...... is Coyote Starrk next? 
Yep. Nah, I don't own a drawing tablet either, all I use is my iPad, really.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahahaha you think so?
You think so? Perhaps...
Well, Ulquiorra says so.
Well...I will repeat you for one more time that I am not sure how many characters I will
include. If I include too many, it will be hard to keep up a good story and it will become long
and boring. I cannot put THAT many characters inside... Therefore there is no guarantee you will
see all the Espadas in your story and certainly NOT as main characters as it is in Bleach. If I were to
add some of them, it would be for brief momens or for simply supportive reasons. If I add too many
the story will become boring like Bleach became after so many episodes...
Ah I see... To me they are all the same...touch screen devices!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep.
Well, yeah. Yeah, most likely.
Oh, alright. I was hoping to see Starrk, but that's ok. Nah, you don't have to add even single character from Bleach (there's plenty we could do without
Ah, but I find it easier to draw with my iPad than with the PC, and even better than with a pencil. I'm quite messy, ya know.
But everyone has their own methods, I guess.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I never said he wouldn't be in it but I am still under consideration based on this second part (even for the first part)
Yes I understand.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, well that gives me hope, then!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Honestly now what's with you and that layback guy?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I dunno I kinda like that he acted like a sloth but at the time of battle, he was like Billy the Kid, a rootin' tootin' shootin' fastest gun of the West type. There had to be a reason why he was no.1, anyways.
And I loved his constant bickering with Lilynette
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I see. Fair enough.
I personally did not like him THAT much but like I said I sympathized him in the end
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, me too. Especially with Lilynette, that was so tragic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well yeah that part was sad I admit
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. But I did like when she would yell at him to get his lazy butt up
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I admit, I can identify with him..... Most days I just wanna sleep all day lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I admit I'm quite lazy.... Guess I'm another Starrk, myself
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, I bet everyone has a lil bit of Starrk inside of them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well that would depend on the mood
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well yeah, but everyone has a lazy streak every now & then
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What? You never had a day where you just wanted to sleep and do nothin?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe well I guess I have. Not too often cause my every day life is extremely busy but I guess there was...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, ok. Not too often, but occasionally.
I guess that's why I liked Starrk, but I don't really understand how he could be no.1 over more powerful Espada. I'd have assumed Barragan would've been el Primero, instead of no.2, just from seniority alone.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I thought so too. I guess that was once more the..."bleach logic" to do the 'unexpected' but it kinda seemed unfitting to me...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very true..... Still regardless of all that, I still think Starrk was cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, ok.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sorry. I ask too much, don't I?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No it's not that. It is just that you request stuff that have to do with a story I have not yet decided on and stuff... Anyway I'll see like I said I would see okay? By saying it many times don't help much. That's all
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, ok. I'll shut my mouth up, lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah no dear.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, don't worry, dear.
Ya know, I've been mulling over a crazy idea for a while..... of turning Kaoru into an Arrancar for a separate story, lol
Still, I luv the Ulqui artwork. That angle you have him pointing the sword at is pretty difficult to do, but somehow you did it pretty well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahahahaha! I see!
Good luck with that
Thank you so much dear! Indeed that was a challenging angle. I am relieved to hear that
you believe it came out at a satisfying level
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, of course not dear. But it is something I'm thinking of taking into fruition, lol
Well, you did better than I would've.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know I just mention it
Oh come on. You just need practice
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is challenging but unless you try, you will never know right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True. Yeah, I'll try that one of these days.
