Description FULL-VIEW PLEASE!! ^___^

Here's Grimmjow and Orihime from Bleach. I'm extremely happy with how this came out.

(Btw, before I forget... if anyone thinks Orihime's face looks weird, well, I tried to get some angle goin' and have her head tilted up ~ but it's a hard position to draw soooo.... Just to let YOU know that I already know that it looks a little strange ~ no need to tell me ^___^ )

Grimmjow is almost just as much a prisoner as Orihime is, IMO. He seems like he's always just doing what he wants... a bad boy in every sense of the word. But his chain's yanked just as much as Hime's. (By Aizen, Tousen, Noi, and probably when Ulquiorra gets back, by him too.) I know there's alot of people who don't want to see Grimm go the way of Renji ~ y'know... rival-of-Ichi-over-rescue-of-girl/becomes-a-Good-Guy sorta thing. But I think that if Grimm doesn't go with Ichi and gang, or ~somebody~ and get the hell outta Las Noches, he will be killed (if that damn blow by Noitora didn't kill him already T___T )

Of course I fangirl over Grimmjow like whoa. It's the whole Billy Idol sneer thing ~ wins me over every time. XD And Orihime's one of my fave characters of ANY manga.

The title is taken from Nine Inch Nail's song "We're In This Together", download here: [link]
This song makes up for half the experience of this piece. I beg you ~ listen to it and view the pic ~ it adds so much more depth!
Lyrics:

I've become impossible
Holding on to when,
when everything seemed to matter more
The two of us,
all used and beaten up,
watching fate, as it flows,
down the path, we have chose...

You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you

Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
They pick and they pull
Trying to get their fingers in
Well they've got to kill what we've found
Well they've got to hate what they fear
Well they've got to make it go away
Well they've got to make it disappear

The farther I fall I'm beside you
As lost as I get I will find you
The deeper the wound I'm inside you
Forever and ever, I'm a part of you...

I want Grimmie to come back as well or he's gonna help out with beating yammy than takes orihime with him to the real world to help kick aizen 's ass and after that he grabs ichigo's shirt and goes like, "rematch!" or he's indeed dead, most people say he's dead, but ichigo jumping in front on him just in the nick of time, defending him...I think tite kube-san is up to something, Grimmjow and Nel got out of the series way to curiously...I think they'll return,
Me I'm long happy that the series is back to normal again, I'm really looking forward to the ulquiorra ichigo fight, how 'bout you?
bye the way, awesome picture Thumbs Up #1 keep up the good work

I saw this a long time ago but never commented on it! I feel so bad because I am into the Grimmjow x Orihime pairing now XD. Well first of all I would love to say I am in love with the lighting in the picture. It has a very soft glow that really brings out the colors of their hair and eyes.

Also, Orihime's face does not look odd to me! That head tilting up pose is very difficult but you did wonderfully.

I wasn't into this pairing when I first found your gallery, so I totally overlooked it. But, I <3 you so much for this. Your artwork is always gorgeous, but I love the symbolism you bring to this. Also, that's my fave NIN song.

And btw, Orihime's face doesn't look weird.

This is a very deep image, the shading is very well done, i do hope that Grimmjow does to something/anything from keeping himself from dieing [he's a great character]. And how tall is Grimmjow, he's so tall, he's like a tree! Anyway, awesome picture.

Well done. Ori Hime and Grimjow are both tugged and yanked at by the same chains, hold onto the same things.

I like that.

Love the pairing. That's all I need to say. The threesome pic you did after this one contains all my fave pairings with Orihime...I can't decide between them!!!

You know this picture is beginning to inspire a fanfic just to pair Grimmjow with someone special.... :runs off to write XD :

"A lot of people", eh? Well I'm not one of them :P (Lick) I do believe he'll (probably temporarily) join forces with Ichigo -Grimmjow is an honorable sort of warrior and since Ichigo saved his life from Nnoitra's final blow he's likely to return the 'debt' just like how he 'rescued' Orihime in return for his arm.
I totally love this pic hon (Grimmjow's my fav, too), and thanks for the lil' insight -I never came across the thought of Grimmjow as `prisoner' like Orihime before :o (Eek)

Sunstruck-NymphSunstruck-Nymph [2008-07-03 16:55:53 +0000 UTC]

You know, my OTP is SO Renji/Rukia and always thought the Ichihime pairing was adorable. I kind of believe in that Kaien-Ichigo reincarnation theory and that Orihime is the reincarnation of his wife, but I don't know. I never really liked Ichiruki from the very start of the magna (something just doesn't feel right if they came together...)

Anyway, back to the picture! It's very lovely and I like the concept of the prisoner chain thing. That would be so awesome if Grimmjow became a good guy. I think he is starting to develop feelings for Orihime (as one can clearly see the title 'Don't Kill my Volupture' means he is at least physically attracted to her ~_~) But, although Grimmhime is cute, I don't think it will ever work out. There's just so much potential for Ichihime and indeed if Renji/Rukia happens I doubt Kubo will leave Ichigo alone (unless he ends up with Nel, and then there's a crapload of possibilities...ow my head hurts.)

Drool Grimmjow... Oh, right, Grimmhime pic. Sweating a little... Beautiful pic; the chains are great. ^_^

All I'm really hoping for right now is that Grimmjow lives. Personally, he's like the Vaizard- he's on his own side; but yeah, he is kept on a short leash by Aizen. Stupid Nnoitora... :X (Mad)

grimm n renji are my favs in this anime
but u're right I hate that Renji become ichi's side
but he is soo hot anyway and allways fight with ichi(pyshically)
and I want his desire to win byakuya and become stronger
I hope Grimm's way not like Renji's :( (Sad)
and I hope him alive

I really, really like this! Grimmjow pretty much pawns. I like every aspect of this drawing (I don't think Orihimes face looks funny at all)

I am afraid that he (Grimm) will end up dying though...just seems that's how the authors setting it up. Sadly. I agree with your view--he really tries to pretend he's in control, but in reality he's just another pawn.

hoogathyhoogathy [2008-01-15 04:33:35 +0000 UTC]

Great concept, great drawing, and great interpretation of the characters. I get a similar vibe from Grimmjow, that he's a prisoner as well. He doesn't really care about other people's goals, he just wants to be seen as stronger than others - hence why he was so desperate to regain his place in the Espada, yet constantly breaks orders to satisfy his own bloodlust.

THANK YOU!!

I've been thinking that and saying it for quite some time.

Grimmjow and Renji come of as the same type of plot-character, from the same part in the plot-cycle. It only makes sense that Ichigo and Grimmjow will get along, in a boy sort of way. And he really should be part of the gang, once he can get away from Aizen, that is.

He'd be vital to the group, capable of as much or more than Ichigo at times, which is exactly how Renji WAS, but now he and his bankai are left to liven up the backdrop. Poor Renji.

Great Pic. Makes sense.

I love Grimmjaw!
after reading the manga, when Grimmjaw first appeared, I was childishly in the Ichigo-love phase and wanted him to kill Grimmjaw. But then I took a break from Bleach (coz the Bounto arc was KILLING me, and I hate to wait one week for a new chapt)
So...and now after a year I'm back to Bleach and you hinted some nice outcome (as for me) - I can't wait to see it ^^ (don't like spoilers though)

and..your art is...a MASTERPIECE! Heart

I have been desperately trying to find a good Orihime/Grimmjaw picture for months now- ever since he was introduced and she ended up at that place I just think they are really hot together. I don't want anything long term obviously, that's what Ichigo is for, but I just think Grimmjaw especially is a hunk of Arrancar.

Sorry, I'm rambling, but this is really good, and I'm faving it!
