Ok, it's been about FOREVER since I uploaded a piece for my deviant page. Well, here, after working a day on it by hand, then digitally coloring it, using GIMP (a wonky program btw), I have a finished piece to share.

Shailaja is an rpg character of mine in a Bleach online rpg. She's an original character, and based off the nature spirits, called Kami in Shinto Mythology. Her elemental affinity is water, hence the blue background *snicker*

It's kinda simple, yah, and i got tired of trying to make it look like every other anime artist on here.

The reference of the girl's facial features and hair are borrowed from the artist from G.J?, Toshihide Sano. He is a remarkable artist, and all his female characters are absolutely beautiful. He's inspired a lot of my work.

and for the curious, and those interested in a really good, mature, and active Bleach rpg group, here's the link. [link]
