Artist Comment

This is the first time I've posted any of my art on this site (please see my main DeviantART site for more art-including lots more Bleach): http://keelerleah.deviantart.com/

I don't know how much I'll post here (because I'm very protective over my art and I dislike it being used or even downloaded)... but I figured I should post at least a couple here. You can save this to your computer I guess, but PLEASE DO NOT RE-UPLOAD THIS ON ANY OTHER SITES or I will not post any more new art. >.>

I've recently got a random urge to do another Bleach pencil drawing. I came across a photo of the band The Gazette on my computer and the idea for this just hit me (and yes, both Byakuya and Renji's clothes and poses are referenced directly from the pic I found). The clouds were also referenced from some photos I took. I have always found drawing clouds in pencil difficult, so I didn't know if I could get them realistic or not... but I guess they turned out alright.

Drawn completely in regular pencil (on 8.5x11 computer paper) then scanned and darkened. I then added in some color with photoshop under the pencil. Some effects were also added above the pencil.

Pencil only version (as well as a second WIP image): http://keelerleah.wordpress.com/2011/10/12/new-bleach-art-and-vampire-art-now/
I also have a step by step tutorial showing how to color under pencil like this. --> http://keelerleah.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/new-art-tutorial/

Time: Pencil: approx. 3 days in my spare time, Coloring: 6 hours.
Drawn with a regular mechanical pencil.
Colored in photoshop.
Multiple references used (see above)
No Critique desired.

Considering the high caliber of her artwork, drowranger's recent leap into the MT indy art gallery is a well appreciated one. What amazes us about this artwork is clear to see: it's wonderfully detailed (the tiniest details in the textures in their clothing and sky gives this a bigger 'wow!' factor), it's skillfully colored (the lighting from the sunset is pulled off excellently), and it has a memorable execution of Bleach's most notable characters - Wild West style. This is one Bleach artwork that you shouldn't miss.

Great work drowranger, we can't wait to see more of your artwork in the MT galleries!

    Absolutly beatiful *_*
    At the first sight I thought that it was a scan and you've just uploaded it in the wrong category...
    But when I open the page and download it...I was like...O_________________O
    I saw your account on DA, too and all your works are amazing ç_ç
    Then I saw the tutorial on your blog and I think I'll try to use it for my next work, maybe :p
    Thanks again for sharing ^_^

    The colors look good. I like the details, but the image itself is so small. It would've been nice to see it larger (and without all of the watermarks all over it). Something kind of looks off with some of the anatomy though...I think Renji's head looks a little too big? Anyways it's overall pretty nice.

    oh your stuff is SO GOOD. <3 :O (just checked out your dA)
    Please do share your stuff more often here!

    The clouds and clothes are really awesome! Though it kinda is a bit jarring to see anime-style faces on realistically rendered everything else. /lolthatsmyproblem
