An opening page of all the captains. Writing all the letters in the back with a brush was fun. I've never studied Shodo or anything, so... yeah (laughs), but it's always fun to write with a brush. I just drew Komamura since there wasn't one of him before. |
Redrawn Covers, Posters and Spreads | ||||||

A poster with all of the captains gathered. Ukitake who hadn't yet debuted, faces the back and Aizen, who is about to die, has his eyes closed. At this time I never thought that Hitsugaya would become so popular...Well, since he fights with Aizen at the end of the Soul Society arc, it probably would've been rough if he wasn't popular. | ||||||
Gotei 13 Captains | ||||||
I really liked the opening and ending scenes of the 2nd Bleach rock musical "The Dark of the Bleeding Moon" where everyone sings the title song, so I drew this based on one of the scenes in that. Nanao's and Nemu's Zanpakutōs make their first appearances here. | ||||||
Gotei 13 Lieutenants | ||||||
This is the first time in my life I drew a beach/swimsuit picture. It was tons of fun!! Swimsuits are nice, huh? It was fun thinking of swimsuits that would go with each character. Nemu is small so I don't think you can tell, but for her I thought, "what is the most perverted swimsuit for an adult to wear", and decided on a schoolgirl's swimsuit. Kūkaku's bottoms are a loin cloth. I think the #1 highlight is Soifon, who is forced by Yoruichi to hold some watermelon, and is supporting a piece with her chest so that it doesn't fall. Also, Nanao has lost her top and is hanging her head, and Nemu is proudly displaying it. | ||||||
Women of Bleach | ||||||
The Kenpachi volume 13 cover that seems to be famous among fans. At first, I drew it covered in blood, but then I was told, "These are going to be laying out in a bookstore! Restrain yourself, dumbass!!", and I tearfully drew another. Now if I look at it, I think, "Ah, if an elementary school student saw this, they might be taken aback", but when I was drawing this, I was oblivious to that sort of thing (laughs). | ||||||
THE UNDEAD - Kenpachi Zaraki | ||||||
I drew the crows here because my new residence is near a stupidly huge graveyard and the crows are constantly flapping over to my balcony. Renji's jacket has a Dolce Gabbana look and feel. Ichigo's belt is modeled after the one I am using now. I really like Ichigo's bangs. | ||||||
