I need a break. I probably won't update until... maybe the 27th. I need some time to study and do homework this week, and I also need some time to get things sorted out for the next pages of the comic.

Looks like Smackjeeves changed tons of stuff on the site. O_o Surprisingly, it's looks good. Most sites that do that, I can't figure out where things have moved to, but for this site, they arranged things to be more similar to other sites.

Also... about the fic with Arrancar!Ichigo... ^_^" Well, ever since I got the idea for this comic and started looking things up in the anime, I've gotten Bleach fic ideas and stuff. What if Ichigo died and went to the Soul Society and didn't remember anything? What if Orihime rejected Aizen, so he never existed (she said in the anime that she was planning on rejecting that thing Urahara made)? Those two didn't go anywhere. But the last idea I had, I like what I've written so far.

I thought it looked okay when I scanned it... But when I was finishing with filling in the textbubbles in Photoshop, I found that I don't like any of the closer shots of their faces. Uryu looked so good last page and I thought I could draw him without relying so heavily on references... Ichigo- well, anyone, that close up is really hard, and I tried drawing a slight smile over and over and it still looks wrong. I drew the top panel so many times that I can't tell how it looks now, but it's definitely better than the other times. Someone I know on MSN helped me by making a 3D model from my specifications. Although, I still think Uryu looks sideways... It's probably Ichigo that's a little off, though.
Is it confusing what happened/is happening?

Tons of Uryu. ^_^" I wrote down how Uryu would look as he talked during this page, and Ichigo's expressions just weren't that important...
I used references for Uryu. I got pretty specific in the first panel. I found a pic online of him pushing up his glasses and used that pretty strongly for his hand.
I also tried finding a good reference for Ichigo's arm in the last panel, and even taking pictures of my dad's arm when finding the exact position hard to find for Ichigo (although there was one pic pretty similar), but I never could get it to look right...
Oh, and I also tried to find a fitting chibi Ichigo as reference, but the two that are easy to find online aren't the exact expression I wanted so I tried making it similar but different than either of them.

Does the middle panels work right? I wanted it to be two separate panels, but look like they go together, too. But, it just looks like one panel with a line going through it to me. >_>" I like it when I put my hand over one and then the other, though. ^_^"

I need to rebuild my buffer... I had about five pages done before putting anything up, but I used them up after the end of the last scene. ^_^" It takes about a day per page, but that's when I've already written down what to do in the page and made a little thumbnail of how it should look. And I should only do them during the weekend. I did this one and the next one this week.

First pictures of Uryu. I used more references for him next page, though. He's surprisingly easy to figure out... Maybe it's because his bangs are similar to Ed's from FMA.
I forgot to color in his belt.

I watched the Bleach movies on YouTube and took a few screenshots of things I thought was interesting. I tried remembering a few things about how Ichigo was drawn without directly referencing. I think he looks better, but I forgot everything next page... >_>"

Those top three panels were hard to figure out how to place on the page. I wrote down the dialogue and little notes about what's in panels before working on the looks, and I wanted a few shots of the scenery to show that time has passed and stuff. When I tried getting them situated, though, it kept looking stupid, but I finaly figured out a layout I think looks okay.

how did you go about making that last panel?
I've seen scenes like that in animes before. Unlike normal perspectives, I doubt it's possible with a ruler. ^_^"

Eeh. I think Shinzo and Sanji are just short.

Did you forget that Hitsugaya was there? He was against that other building the whole time. ^_^"
I drew Rukia without a reference, but then I got some references and redrew her. (and for the picture of her from behind, I couldn't get it to look right until I drew her face and then changed it. ^_^" )
Drawing characters from the side can make them look 2D, but Bleach seems to have a lot of scenes like that, and they look fine.

It's been awhile since I had a page number. The first two pages had a little space at the bottom so I put page numbers there (and thought I'd keep the odd/even pattern going with the numbers), but after those first ones, I realized it was actually a little rare to have space in the correct place.

This page ends the scene.
...I don't know why it took two Soul Reapers (one a captian, even) to defeat that Gillian.

Hmm... I hope she didn't think of him as a pet. He seems to have some serious feelings for her.
It was rude of that guy not to ask him to come play as well, though. Well, unless he just didn't see him...
(I like his expression in the last two panels, by the way. He's cute. ^_^ )

I made a News Post a few days ago about the direction of the comic, if anyone's curious. It can be found <a href="http://decision.smackjeeves.com/">here</a>.

I wanted to color this page because I wanted to see some things in color.
Is it easy enough to understand that last panel? It's a little complex... in the wrong order, the words probably don't make sense, and there's the pictures that may not be apparent as background flashbacks...

Oh, and first time drawing Chad and Ichigo's hollow. ^_^ (I tried looking at the episode where I wanted the flashbacks to come from for references, but catching a good frame of Orihime falling was too hard and Chad was too far away to get much detail. I did find a good ref of Chad (and one of the hollow) online, though.)

Can you guys see the Not-Chappy symbol clear enough (or knew what it meant)?
I didn't use any references this page except the last panel (since Rukia's face wanted to be a blob otherwise), and I copied that field panel again, and in panel four I made sure I had that white building correct based on past pages - I didn't, I had it turned the wrong way at first.
