Description FULL VIEW PLEASE!!

Here's Gin and Matsumoto from Bleach. This piece is dedicated to for winning the contest over at ~~ Congrats sweetie!!! If you love this angsty pairing, get your butt over there and join! Great people, fun stuff ^____^


I loosely based this upon a fanfic called "Every Inch" by baeckahaesten, here: [link]
Most notably the last few lines, they broke my heart:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"A last hurrah. The smell of him was familiar and achingly sweet: she watched the hairs on the back of his neck prickle up, felt him shake in her arms, his body nestle in hers while he could, for warmth. She was glad and bereft simultaneously when he released her, still with that fixed, half-mournful smile.

Rangiku’s hand dragged on his sleeve for a moment, without meaning to, and finally she drew a breath and asked him what she’d meant to for years.

“Is anything you tell me true?”

“The reverse,” Gin said, hollow-voiced. “The reverse.”

And then he left."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beautiful fic, one of my faves...

The song I have picked or this piece is "Anywhere But Here" by Sick Puppies, here: [link]

The most amazing song... I saw this group live with Evanescence and they kicked major ass. Seriously, if you get the chance to see them, GO! I got to meet the lead singer, Shim... very cool.

Anyways, perfect GinRan song, its angsty, and beautiful, and just everything. It's made it's way into my top ten fave songs, it's just that awesome... go listen to it!!!

Done in india ink, Copics, and Corel Photopaint9.

No crit please!!

Guh. *is brain dead over Rangiku's side of the picture* Gin grasping her by that necklace is freaking hot. His expression is rather creepy though and reminds me of Puck; mischievious and tricky, playing tricks on everyone and definitely not the most savoury of characters. Which is actually quite a good expression for Gin, just it makes me uncomfortable.
I always love your GinRan pieces...

If Gin's expression in my pics make you uncomfortable, then I've done my job correctly!! ^_____^ He's very much like Puck... such a joker, but deadly at the same time...

I'm very glad you like my work! Hug

The sense of movement is fantastic, as is the expressions on their faces... his finger through her necklace, her hand clutching at his jacket... wow. Well done. D

On a side note, despite how akward it is saying this, my mother read Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse in less than a week and now she wants August to hurry up and come.
