lydamorehouseSo, the problem with art, like writing, is that sometimes the good one gets away. There are some characters I CAN NOT DRAW no matter how many times I try. I struggle with Byakuya. His cold beauty eludes me. However, I wrote a scene in which a couple of images of him kept sticking in my brain, so I gave it a go.
I'm not happy with these, thus they remain sketches. Also, I have to apologize for the quality of the photo. The camera I usually use is off for "First Day of Fourth Grade" pictures, so I had to try us the iPad's camera feature to somewhat dubious affect.
Here is Byakuya and Yachiru as they sit on the bridge at the Kuchiki estate discussing the fact that Byakuya's life has been rather friendless and sad. I kind of like Byakuya here, and his expression. Yachiru looks too old, alas. She's surprisingly difficult to draw, though I think I got her hair. (She's wearing kitty ears, and doesn't come with them. This is a reference to a Bleach omake in which she is clearly stealing the carp from the Kuchiki estate dressed in a kitty costume.)
Below is a later moment when she talks him into trying to go to a party.
I'd really wanted to include Byakuya's muddy feet, because that figures so strongly into the story (which, btw, you can read at: http://archiveofourown.org/works/501531.) But, apparently I suck at getting the whole body onto the page. Ah well. I think sometimes it's good to share our failures as well. I hope you enjoy seeing these attempts.
