Finished Gin for my Taichou/fukutaichou gallery :) I finished him a while ago, but didn't put him up straight away on here. This is dedicated to my sister, Bijoux, since she kept bugging me to draw him next. The background represents silver since Gin means silver in Japanese. The border represents his eyes, although I'm aware his eyes are a different color in the manga. I had a bit of trouble with Shinsou's hilt, but luckily you can't see it very well lol. Next up will be Retsu, and she's almost complete at this stage. After Retsu will be Renji. Any requests for the next captain/vice captain are welcome :D Please try to enjoy everyone!!

VanticomesShadow(Shift eye) How did I not comment on this sooner...? (shifty eye)...you dedicated this thing to me...? So that means we're friends...(eyebrow rises) so that means you'll re-do your taichou's and fukutaichou's series....(shifty eye, eyebrow goes higher) in the shower...? (Screams as people throw things in Bijoux's direction with disgust)...
 
Anyways...errrr...was this the picture and I started complaining that his hair melded into the background too much so you had to fix it...? It came out well...considering his hair is silver and so's the background so naturally it would've been difficult... I like his crazy expression...he doesn't look as creepy as usual...(shifty eye)...

Midnight_ChaosThankyou, Verzias :D Lol, both the skin and the sword took me ages to do...the sword in particular -_-'' I just couldn't get the right angle for it O.o I'm just glad it looks ok *sweatdrop* Hehe, his smile was fun to draw XD Gotta love Gin's grinning expressions lol.

Midnight_ChaosThanks for the comment and fav, SisaTao ^_^ Yeah, I like Gin too; he's so funny!! I love the way he speaks in Japanese lol. At first he creeped me out, but he's grown on me :)

ChikacookieAwesome job, it looks realistic. Great job on the hand, I'm not good at drawing hands.

Midnight_Chaos on January 2, 2008, 9:49:32 PM

Midnight_Chaos on
Midnight_ChaosThankyou Chikacookie ^_^ The hand took me a while to do...at some point I'd made his pinky too small -.-; But don't worry about finding them hard to draw!! Drawing hands only needs practice. When drawing them, just study your own until you get the hang of it. It also helps to draw the rough shape of the palm first, then single lines for the thumb and fingers (remembering the distance between the knuckles), before adding in "flesh" and shaping it to look more like a hand. I still have trouble drawing them too ^_^

GreyJediI adore his hand. Seriously. I think I've been getting worse at hands. He looks friendly, even though, from what I know of Gin, he's not really.

The only problem I can see with it, is that his hair really blends into the background and is hard-ish to distinguish.

Great pic!!

Midnight_Chaos on December 31, 2007, 10:46:45 PM

Midnight_ChaosThankyou Grey-san!! *glomps* His hand took me a while to get right...had to use my own as reference, so his hand doesn't look as bony as it should lol. Heh, I don't know what happened with his expression....at first it looked twisted, but then he didn't look creepy anymore when I colored him. Maybe it's his hair hiding his eyebrows or something...*shrugs* I think his hair color depends on the monitor its seen through...when I colored him at my mum's, it looked alright, but down here at my dad's, the top part of his hair is pretty much the same color as the background. Thanks for pointing it out :) It'll remind me to take notice for future pics ^_^

RubidiumHawki wanted to talk about gin, and my thoughts on him, but i didn't want to spoil just in case i would have, coz i'm at episode 154 which is the latest, and now i'm also reading the manga so i dunno how much i can say without revealing anything LOL

what i will say is, that i think that gin is kinda funny at times, and the more time marches on, the less i hate him, and the more i pity him... which is weird, because he's not a nice person even by a fraction LOL

anyways, you and i both know how much this absolutely rawks corad, i'm always amazed with your detail, and when i get my new place i'm getting a laptop that works with my tab so i'm gonna try develop my own tab style and then i'm restarting my manga in full colour. which will be harder for me, but it may also be the most rewarding for me.

how hard is it to use graphics tabs anyways?

Midnight_Chaos on December 31, 2007, 8:54:44 PM

Midnight_ChaosThankyou for the comment, Rubidium :) I think we reached episode 147...we've got the eps to watch, but just finding time/enthusiasm to sit down and watch 'em. Thanks for not spoiling anything btw. Still gotta be careful what we say though, in case others are reading these comments ^_^ I've been reading the manga too, but I haven't caught up to the anime yet. I'll try to read more sometime just to be in line with the releases.

At first, I thought Gin was creepy since I didn't know where he stood in relation to alliances and such. Now I know, I'm actually quite fond of him. He's my sister's fav character, and usually whatever she likes, I begin to like myself for some reason. She's been writing a story with him in it, and man is it funny. I'll get her to put it up on fanfiction, in case you ever want to read it. I don't think Gin is that mean to be honest. A couple of things I've seen, it shows he has a heart (won't say in case of spoilers, but look at ep 48/49). It'd be so much easier talking freely about it, but alas...I can't. Don't wanna spoil it for others O_o You should talk to my sis sometime about Gin...she makes you see things about him which you'd normally miss I think. She opened my eyes on a few Gin related things, making me like him more.

Thankyou for the compliment on my pic :) I'm improving with each pic, I think O.O I can offer you a few coloring tips for when you get your tablet, if you'd like them. It's a little hard at first to use a tablet, but once you get the hang of it, and your coordination is right, it's quite simple to use. Probaby never go back to coloring with a mouse again :D Good luck with your manga btw!! I hope it goes well for you ^_^

Midnight_ChaosThankyou Nextguardian!! I think my photoshop/shading skills are steadily improving, thanks to all these taichous and fukutaichous lol. It's good practice :D Still got quite a few left to do though...ah well, they're fun to do ^_^ Thanks again *hugs*
