Byakuya: But we barely know each other.
Kukaku: If you saw someone bleeding, and you had a bandage... would you walk away just because you didn't know them?
Byakuya: No, but that's different.
Kukaku: Not really... You're the wound... I'm the bandage.



A while back I decided I was only going to post my furry art here. All my human work would remain in my LJ and on DA. But I'm making an exception for this singular piece of work, because I think it might be the best thing I've ever drawn.

For those who don't know, I watch a lot of anime. "Bleach" happens to be one of them. I'm a big fan of pairing Byakuya and Kukaku. This is my third-ish fanart of them. After a conversation my friend MewtwoWarrior and I had last night I was all psyched up and had to get this out of my system so that I wouldn't be drawing them all day today, since I have other things I need to do.

I tweaked the levels and stuff in photoshop, as once again my scanner does not like to correctly scan sepia line work and cool grey tone correctly. >> Also it showed flaws in the tone in Kukaku's hair that aren't really obvious in the hard copy. So I fucked around with it to get rid of that. then i threw some color on in honestly no more than five minutes BECAUSE MY DIGITAL COLORING TEACHER IS A WIZARD.

....I swear I tried to put a shirt on Byakuya. I really did. He just would have none of it. I promise he has pants on. ;D
