I'm getting creative with the title because this is what goes through my mind whenever I see him. I have no idea
why the face paint is shaped like that but, well, it makes him look depressing D: (note: I know next to nothing about
Bleach).
I decided to vector this image after a friend
requested it to be extracted for a wall she was going to make. In the end, I said "to hell with it" and
vectored it because I was bored by the perspective of reconstructing all those shifted parts (I could have done it, I was just too lazy to, and it made my head spin). I'd like to apologize for the
crappy sword holder thingy (the term escapes me ATM), I know it sucks =_=" I was thinking of leaving it out, but I
included it after all.
I frankenstein'd these two scans: one and
two, and used this for front coat reference and this for skin tone reference. The original resolution of the vector
is 6700 x 14200 px and I nearly hugged my computer IRL for the 4 gigs of memory that allowed for PS not to crash on me
when saving - with the scans in the same document, the PSD file had, at one point, 290 MB; then, when I removed the
scans, it dropped to 53 MB =_= Fair enough!
Other details
PSD file size / layers: 53.5 MB (after removing the scans) / 45
Scans used are mentioned above. Thank you for posting them.
Close-up of Ulquiorra's
eyes, at 100%. I screenshot this because the details aren't very visible in the small version. I really liked
the look from the scan and tried to imitate it with a texture in the layer Blending Options. And if you're
wondering about the orange outline, it's not only for visibility, it's to keep me from getting too depressed
D: Honestly, near the end I gave in and made the whole background
orange.
Didn't include a fancy background because the file size is already enough. If you want the PNG, you can get it on COA. You can also find the
original version of this vector there (6700 x 14200 px), as well as smaller "large" versions (3350 x 7100 px).
I had to shrink it to 30% of its original size for it to fit within the MT restrictions.
Um, that's about it, I guess. Comments, faves and/or rotten tomatoes are welcome and very appreciated 8d
