a little art blog

Hi! First of all, wow, thank you a lot for the ask! I really appreciate it!

And yes, I do. My biggest one would be HitsuMatsu, I'd say it's even in my top 4 Bleach ships. I really love the dynamic they have! Honestly, with how fun they are, I'm kinda shocked they aren't more popular. But I guess it's because of the popularity of both GinRan and HitsuMomo.

The other ones I like would be KiraHina (their interactions as students were so sweet) and - the rarest of them all - RenJackie (the chemistry was great imho).

The last one is the only pair I managed to make a full drawing of (here). I did try with HitsuMatsu & KiraHina too, but those pics are lost in the WIP hell. :( Maybe someday!

Again, thank you for asking!

Merry Christmas, sunset.spyder! This is a gift for the Secret Santa event at Kiwa's Koffee discord. The kitty plushie version of Hotaru was designed & first drawn by @i_chiig0 , had to include it 💚

I really enjoyed drawing your OCs, Nikki, they're both stunning! Once again big hugs & I hope you like it!

Helen's Theme starts playing 🎶 💛 Candyman for a last second inktober post! I combined a prompt from #peachtober2023 by @furrylittlepeach and one from #emoviztober by @evalottchen .

I recently saw the original Candyman (1992) and loved it! It has such an unique atmosphere, a titular character that is both horrifying & tragic - and THE MUSIC!! Even if you don't like horrors, I highly recommend you give a listen to the score.

Also it's been a while since I drew in a more of a realistic style, it was very refreshing. I tried to keep the actor's likeness, but it was hard. Definitely didn't do Tony Todd justice!

Tyger tyger, burning bright; in the forests of the night... 🌿 Here's another character I missed drawing: Sakura, my original flower-named fave 🌸

I wanted to try doing the classic "girl with tropical leaves" theme, but with a more of a wild feel. Although she may have ended up looking more derpy than dangerous. Also wanted to pracitce lighting, but unfortunately I used way too few references. Oh well.

I really, really missed seeing these idiots on my blog, that's all. No high effort, head empty, just them...

Nnoitra is extremely relaxing to draw for me. And they're both (+Nel!) forever tied to a time where I was very happy about drawing. Because of all this, sketching them always brings me peace.

Open collab with @wizpeppy 🌼 it took me an eternity to finish, but it's done now - my first ever entry to an open collab!

Also while Haya always is, and always will be conscious about the availability of food (and of money), those feelings are retriggered in a stronger fashion whenever she has to go back to far Rukongai, hence her impulsive plea here. In daily life, if she gets gifted a bigger amount of food, she'll always share with others. And if she goes out with friends to eat and someone else offers to pay, she'll take the cheapest dish even if she knows the person paying has enough money. She just can't bring herself to do otherwise, so if you wanna treat her - you gotta trick her!

She also has a very skewed sense of luxury when it comes to food; a simple tonkatsu is something fancy for her. Honestly, anything other than a handful of rice is. One has to be specific when wanting her to cook something more unusual, or else you get a standard dish with a slice of lemon on top.

Featuring Minori by @garden__yomi , this is my THANK YOU for you drawing a Squad 3 interaction with Haya - it means the world to me, I'm forever grateful! ⚘️ Hope you like it!

PS. Izuru might be, but might also not be joking 💀 that energy boost is essential stuff!

Happy BD to Nanami by @kuru.pudding! 🎀 Haya is the kind of person who usually gets others small cute (or cute in her eyes, at least) things that reminded her of them, and then food - always food!

Haya in the new opening. Given that she's still wasting away in Rukongai during the entirety of the Quincy War and doesn't meet any of the canon characters yet, it was a no-brainer that she'd be a street beggar in a totally separate scene, all alone. Thanks to that, I got to practice backgrounds a bit (and didn't have to worry about matching the official style *taps forehead*).

I once again forgot that my tablet makes the colors seem deeper than they really are, so the bg tones are much lighter than I planned, but that's ok.

A belated BD post 🎂 Click "read more" for some Haya WIPs through the years!

It's been 3 years already since the day when I drew my girl for the first time, on 21th June 2020. And in all that time, she was my drive to keep on drawing... even if that didn't actually result in that many finished pieces!

In the past, I used to be very down about not managing to draw out & share her lore, such as her shikai, bankai, sword spirit, family, etc. But nowadays I came to realize it's alright - that having all the information in my head is more than enough, and putting any of it on paper will just be a bonus.

Also I wanted to thank everyone who ever enjoyed & supported my AU in those years, it truly means the whole world to me! 

Takafumi as older teen & as adult 💛 The hair length changes are connected to his psychological arc - he grows it out when he starts to feel lost in his later teens. And then, years later, he cuts it back when his mental journey comes to a well deserved happy end.

The flowers are forget-me-nots, which are Fumi's favorites. And I must say they were surprisingly enjoyable to draw (usually doing flowers is a hard work for me)! Click "read more" for some Fumi memes.

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one 💕 Having a chronic illness means a chronic need for get-better-kisses, and Kiwa (OC by deliicacy.mercy) is more than happy to provide them for Jushiro.

So, the not-so-secret gift is finally finished! I hope it was worth the wait & you'll like it, Mercy. Once again a big THANK YOU for your sweetness and gifts! I'm forever deeply grateful!

The first song Haya ever heard 🎶

Just a little picture of her right after being born (in Rukongai). I wanted to focus on the baby, so her mom is not really visible , but you can at least tell that Haya got her pale skin tone from her. But I do have her parents fully designed and hope to draw them one day! I also have their love story thought out.

Happy belated Mother’s Day! 💛 Mama!Haya with all of her kids. Click “read more” for information about each kid’s personality and interests.

Just mama!Kiwa being her gorgeous self 💗 Surprise, @deliicacy.mercy !! Your extreme generosity & sweetness mean the world to me, and brought me so much joy... I will always cherish your drawings & words! Thank you with my whole heart again! 

I wanted to try a new coloring style and make it all bright, I hope you like it.

Happy belated BD to @kuru.pudding & happy BD to Shinji! 💛 I went with Shinji being a bit of a tsundere, since I'm thinking Nanami pulled him out of work solely for the kiss, under the guise of "something important". So he tries to act irritated. I gave him the hairdo from my AU, but went kinda all over the place for the outfit.
