Happy Holidays

Description

Phew, I finally finished this! This one took me a LOOOOONG time! But it's finally done, and I have to say, I'm rather pleased with the outcome. Overall, this probably took me near 16 hours to draw, shade, then color. Now, a lot of people might not understand what's going on in the picture. Well, it's just that Renji down in the corner there is attempting to steal a present or two, so Byakuya, being the noble, law abiding citizen that he is, has decided to try and stop Renji. And barely moving at the same time. Byakuya is just that awesome, and he knows it ^^

I wanted to try drawing some characters I don't usually draw. Except for Ichigo and Hiyori of course, I always draw them. But the others I don't usually draw them (this was the first time I drew Nel). Although Ichigo and Hiyori are a little more centered than I tried to do. I didn't want them taking up as much of the picture as they did, but...I'm not about to redo it!

Anyway, not much else to say, other than Merry Christmas to everyone! Of course, if you don't celebrate Christmas, then a Happy Holidays to you all!

Song that inspired this drawing: Last Christmas (Taylor Swift) [link]

Alas a well-working critque-box due to my new browser <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x…" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD"/> My first thought seeing this up close was "Aww no Rukia?" but oh well <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x…" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD"/> It's very well done! I can see that you put alot of time and effort into it, and since this picture has so much going on and isn't a usual picture of one or two people, I'm going to critque by charector instead of going at it in one motion <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x…" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD"/> I'll start with Hiyori; I like her facial expression, it really looks like a classic expression for her, Hiyori herself is perfect as always (you have found a way to avoid my critquing her...) however the cup looks a bit... lopsided maybe? Sort of like the cup that someone's kid made for them in kindergarden <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..."/> (Not to sound rude) And also something about the shirt bothers me, I think it seems a little stiff.. moving to Ichigo, I have to say that this is the absolute BEST Ichigo you have ever drawn! His face is PERFECT! The perfect porportion of his nose and chin (and alot of people tend to mess up on that because he actually has sort of a big nose <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x…" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD"/> Now that my mom pointed that out I can't stop thinking about it..) His body and clothes are also great, but my one problum is that either he is too short or Hiyori's too tall; Ichigo is exactly one foot taller than Rukia, who's probbably about two inches taller than Hiyori, putting Hiyori probbably somewere around 4'6 wile he's 5'8, also, in the last seventeen months (timeskip) he's probbably gotten a little taller but I won't get into that at the moment; Renji and Byakuya you can't see real well but from wat I CAN see they both look great, Renji looks like he's in pain and Byakuya looks like he's minding his own buisness <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x…" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD"/> I'm going to stray a moment to say that you did really well on the background, the tree for example looks perfect (in the sense that it's being attackted bu thousands of blades for example) the hollow badge at the top is a perfect touch, it really adds to the Bleach feel of things <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/> Orihime I also can't see too since she'[s far in the background, but it seems like she's been done pretty well <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/> And finally Nel; I actually have alot of problums with this one, for one her arms look way too stiff and too long porportioned to her body, her feet look a little big too, something also bothers me with her face but I'm not quite sure wat it is.... overall this is a great picture and one of your best <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>
