#gin ichimaru
Bleach things i draw and posted on my Twitter. For the last three months.
Mostly KenMayu because I SHIP THEM, I SHIP THEM HARD. And some 11th division, because I love them.
There are little genderbend AU of Zaraki, Unohana, Yachiru, Hitsugaya, Gin, and Matsumoto.
And other captains (Kuchiki Byakuya and Hirako Shinji)
Go back to bed ukitake
Beared the burden of being Evil and sacrificed themselves for the sake of others
Gin and Rangiku
I have seen a lot of Pokemon Color schemes go by but normally they are of other Pokemon. So I wanted to try it out with characters instead.
My Pick would be Tier because she would make a freaking awesome Vaporeon!

Gin: My life isn’t as glamorous as the wanted poster makes it look like.
So what I understand is that they had to make one of those ceremonies for Gin and Kaname as well? I’d like to see it honestly.
ABOUT COLOR ILLUSTRATION
In response to 5 of the published illustrations, newly drawn specifically for use in this artbook, we reveal the inside story concerning its creation.
—— J: Here we ask Kubo sensei to commentate on the illustrations that were newly composed for this occasion.
Team Heroes & Team Rivals
—— J: Regarding the two pieces of artwork depicting Ichigo’s group and Ulquiorra’s group, were you making something of a contrast between the two?
Kubo: I thought “I want to give the impression that they are clashing against another school.”
—— J: I’m curious about the selection of characters who made an appearance on this occasion.
Kubo: This… is something that gave me a great deal of trouble. I thought I should widen the frame so that I could just narrowly get these students of mine into the shot. In delinquent manga I think there are often characters that make me go “these guys can’t possibly be high school students now can they?” but after considering that I had better include individuals of that sort, I inserted guys like Starrk…. As a result, I feel the characters I have chosen are likely interesting candidates for a delinquent manga.
—— J: On account of the scattered year groups among these characters, are there any individuals who would be leader or something?
Kubo: Among this lineup, I wonder if that would be Starrk. In terms of year groups, I think he would be in the 3rd grade of high school.
—— J: Gin was added to Ichigo’s gang during the rough sketching phase right?
Kubo: When I was thinking about trying to increase the size of Ichigo’s group, to start with I figured Aizen would be a peculiar choice. Casting Gin was fine, but I thought to myself “Aizen would probably be their teacher.” And Kenpachi would also be too old…. It could pass if his story was that he’s being made to repeat the same year an absurd number of times though (laughs). It’s the result of me thinking that it would be great if I could get the readers to picture the scenario whilst asking “I wonder how that character ended up among this lineup?” That they’re covered with cuts and bruises, it gives the impression that they came to retaliate after being on the receiving end of an attack by the white uniformed gang.
—— J: Hitsugaya has certainly taken quite a beating too huh….
Kubo: They’re all rather beaten up (laughs).
Ladies Crew - Swimsuit Round-up
—— J: Next up we have this swimsuit illustration, but… the first thing that ends up drawing one’s attention - this swimsuit Orihime is wearing, whose choice was it?
Kubo: I was even asked by my wife, “this swimsuit, who would’ve made her wear it?” (laughs). During the inking phase it was my intention to give it a simple sexy look, but when I began adding in my colours I thought “huh? Isn’t this Orihime sort of lewd?”
—— J: Concerning the previous swimsuit round-up illustration (JET volume 1 pages 86-87), the omake scene where the ladies got to pick out their swimsuits, was sketched in pencil on the blank pages of the paperback volume, but what sort of events led to the scene which appears this time around?
Kubo: This time, the situation for the moment is kind of like “Ichigo is in low spirits, so please encourage him!” So after selecting certain individuals connected to Ichigo, I composed this piece. Incidentally I added Nelliel after the rough sketching stage. Also, I think it won’t go without notice so I’ll be the first to say it, but Nelliel’s scar and Rangiku’s beauty mark. I drew those wrong!
—— J: A bubble party to cheer up Ichigo…. Is this event a suggestion made by the likes of Urahara for instance?
Kubo: That’s right, it would come from Urahara. I want to lay the blame for Orihime’s swimsuit on Urahara too (laughs).
—— J: And I’m surprised Orihime even wore it, something like this that is….
Kubo: Even in the final chapters she was made to wear something inconceivable after all.
Bambis
—— J: What sort of motive did you have to make the Bambis the subject matter?
Kubo: I didn’t get to draw these five individuals in colour much within the original work, but since I’m quite pleased with them I decided to draw this.
—— J: Are they watching a horror movie or something in this piece?
Kubo: That’s right. After taking the liberty of showing up at Bambietta’s house uninvited, they welcomed themselves to eat whatever her home has to offer whilst watching a horror movie.
—— J: But Giselle, she’s not watching the movie is she (laughs).
Kubo: Yeah. She comes barging in without asking and yet she doesn’t watch the movie (laughs).
—— J: It’s a painting with peculiar finishing touches, the likes of which I have never seen before now.
Kubo: That’s true, I added finishing touches which I have never tried drawing before now.
—— J: The colouring style in this piece sort of pops similar to the time you painted the Gremmy illustration (JET vol.1 page 277), is it one of the colouring styles you wanted to try during the course of the series?
Kubo: This is an art-style I’ve been wanting to try recently. I composed this piece after I wanted to give it the impression of a sticker or something of that sort. Given that it’s impossible to adjust colour hues through shading when I’m working in flat colour, it took time to choose colours that complemented each other. Also, I noticed it just now, but I forgot to colour Candice’s sunglasses.
Kazui & Ichika
—— J: Given that we are now seeing an illustration of Kazui and Ichika grown up for the first time, may I ask about the situation to start with?
Kubo: Kazui is 13 years old, and Ichika is around 15 years old, the pair are on their way to school wearing the uniforms of Mashiba Middle School which Ichigo also attended.
—— J: The first information on the pair’s age difference! Compared to your other illustrations, it seems you used a different colouring technique for the backdrop.
Kubo: That’s right. After thinking that I wanted to give it a picture book-like feel, I worked in a light and airy art-style.
—— J: There’s so much information packed in the details and I can keep spotting more, but I will ask about only one in particular. This red strap like thing attached to Ichika’s bag, by some chance could that be….
Kubo: That is so, I thought it would be interesting if I could have Ichika receive training from squad 11. I illustrated this through a visual of the tassel associated with Ikkaku.
—— J: Oh, I see!
Kubo: Although, it’s not like I’ve firmly decided to make special plans around it just yet.
