Description

This spurred from a convo with , sort of

You remember that Bleach Casualties I did? The uncoloured one? Yesh, well this is how Grimm would have looked if I finished that one. Then after talking with Zel I figured it was an idea I simply could not abandon altogether.

Grimmjow in a Hawaiian shirt. Aloha!

I tried something really different with my artistic approach. I kept my pencil lines instead of digitally inking them. Does it work better this way? I'm a bit inclined to say yes.....

I've had this feeling for a long time that whenever I do an ink over in PS I rape my lines and they lose all the 'me' that was in them annnnnnd the don't look as nice.

Or I could be talking nonsense, but........yeah.

Enjoy!

It's a tribute of his "species" called hollows. He's a more advanced form, but it's like their namesake it represents their hollowness and yeah lol. They have no soul or heart....I can't remember the exact term they used.

Okay, so he has nothing inside him. So if he taps his chest, does it make a sound like an instrument?

I am totally loving the pencil lines, it really helps this picture 'cause it makes it look so much more casual and less stiff (or in your words, anti-raped, ahaha!).

It's what happens with me too owo;;

Anyways, I love it! *Struggles to keep up with you and fails, falls down the stairs and dies*

She likes a Grimmy too eh?

Yes, she does. She did a great cosplay of him and Hitsugaya at Fanime. I don't think I really like any of the Arrancar, but I suppose if I had a fave it would be Lilinette or Halibel.

Ohhhh, Grimmjow, my weakness yes, I secretly know of Bleach. And like Grimmjow. :< . I love the idea of him in a Hawaiian shirt--especially those colours; I'm glad you went with oranges, yellows and greens. It goes well with his blue hair.

Also, I think you should play around more with the pencil + digital colouring combination. I used to do it quite a bit (I should revisit that).

RennardX In reply to viciousSHADi [2009-06-07 18:30:06 +0000 UTC]

OH!

He is so rawr. Shadi knows of Bleach!

The colour combination was one of my major motivations, I could see them in my mind's eye and just had to see em in the reality.

Pencil and digital colouring, I like the results. But I still don't know if it's better then my digital lineart. People seem to like my digital stuff better while I tend to dislike it and the vice versa of pencil.

It makes me angst a little.

-_-

Thank you Shadi.

He really is. And yes; I do know of Bleach; it's true! I have an Urahara plushie, and I even own the import version of the artbook "All Colour But the Black". I'm just really fond of Tite Kubo's illustration style, and let's face it--his ability to draw his characters in cool clothes simply cannot be overlooked by one such as myself! I am very secretive about this, though.

I'm really glad you made that colour combination reality. As I said; it really, really works with what you have here.

Perhaps it's a bit early to determine your feelings with using the pencil + digital colouring combination--as you're just starting to play around with it (I'm assuming), there's still time to get used to it and find out what works best for you. I imagine it's quite vexing when people prefer your digital lineart, though. Peoples' preferences can be a bit hard to pinpoint. I still think the pencil lineart is something to play around with.

Hell, I'll even implement it into my artistic boot camp regimen as a means to help motivate you, if you'd like.

They rock. lol
